The 2024 GMC Hummer EV SUV is an all electric version of an iconic and beast off-road machine of the previous century. Even though the Hummer brand is now underneath the GMC umbrella, the familiar exterior and excellent off-roading abilities are perfectly maintained in the EV version.
Half a year ago, Hummer made a comeback after 11 years of the demise during the Great Recession. The audience was expecting a Hummer EV SUV and with this reveal, their hopes have turned to reality. The debut of this vehicle is legendary and it looks like a brute, very similar to the original Hummer.
Moreover, the EV form will be much more refined due to the high power output, intuitive technology, and innovative features. It’s 4 wheel steering allows the crab mode. An interesting part of this reinvention is the Ultium battery which offers a huge battery pack which can go up to 300 miles and fast charging.

Engine and Performance
Based on the Hummer EV pickup truck, this SUV version is fueled by 2 to 3 electric motors. Around 625 hp and 7400 pound feet of torque is made by the help of the dual motor setup. The higher trim level provides even more power with the trio of motors which generates 830 hp and 11,500 of torque. The automaker claims that the vehicle can go from 0 to 60 mph in only 3.5 seconds.
As opposed to the pickup truck, the SUV comes with a shorter wheelbase and this feature makes it easier to park and drive. The SUV also retains the customer favorite off-road functions such as an adjustable air suspension (along with an Extract mode which can elevate it 6 inches) and 4 wheel steering with CrabWalk.
Other perks determined to guarantee performance are an optional Extreme Off-Road package and a full size spare tire located at the rear gate. The package comes with unique hardware such as additional underbody protection, improved axles with heavy-duty parts, 18 inches wheels on 35 inches all terrain tires, low mounted cameras to increase visibility during driving, a locking front differential, and rear motors which can electronically imitate the locked differential.
Charging and battery life
All the trim levels are benefitted from the automaker’s new Ultium battery innovation which is extremely eco-friendly. The standard EV model displays a basic 400 volt electric system. This is also given along with the 800 volt system which is standard on all other trim levels.
According to the manufacturer, the Hummer EV will come with a massive 200 kWh battery pack. However, the details regarding the usability and size are not provided yet. But still, with the quick charging speed of 300 kW, the SUV will probably have a driving range of 300 miles.
Cabin and comfort
Inside the EV pickup, there is high quality technology and removable roof panels which form an open air experience. It is half innovative and half tough. The horizontal and vertical air vents are arranged on the 3D dashboard.
Another huge pair of screens arrive with a 12.3 inches of digital gauge cluster. It is very easy to operate all the cabin functions due to the absence of the touch system and instead of physical switchgear and hard buttons. This consists of a rotary drive mode selector at the center console and wide T shaped shifter.
The raw materials used for the high trims are luxurious. This is obvious from the unique bronze details and leather stitched accents. The cabin is further defined with the addition of removable roof panels which is known as Infinity Roof.
This system lets the passengers lift the I-bar and 4 transparent Sky Panels in front of the front seats. Apart from the space beneath the load floor, the Hummer SUV shows off a wide 82 cubic feet of trunk storage when the back seats are folded. The infotainment system consists of a huge 13.4 inches touchscreen and diverse connection choices. Cabin Upgrades include a rear seat infotainment system, a strong Bose stereo, wireless charging and navigation.
