It’s hard to imagine an EV truck that’s tougher than the GMC Hummer EV. It’s quicker than you would expect, considering its weight, and it comes with lots of cool features. The Hummer EV is a beast whether you stick to the road or want to take it on an off-road adventure.
The Electric Power Goes to All Four Wheels
The GMC Hummer EV SUV gets power from three electric motors. These combine to churn out 830 horsepower and send it to all four wheels all the time. There are a lot of cool things about the GMC Hummer, but one of the coolest is how it’s capable of doing the crab walk. All four wheels go in the same direction, which means the Hummer can drive diagonally.
This platform also means that the massive Hummer has a relatively small turning radius, which will come in handy in a number of situations.
How Many Trim Levels?
One of the biggest differences between this GMC and others in the GMC lineup is the number of models available. Right now, you can get the Hummer EV in the 2X or 3X. Compare this to the GMC Sierra trim levels and you might wonder what you’ll be getting.
Fortunately, both of the Humme trims are very well-equipped. The 2X has an adaptive air suspension, heated first and second-row seats, a heated steering wheel, and three-zone automatic climate control. The 3X has everything from the 2X, plus it adds the Watts to Freedom Launch control.
What About the Technology?
There’s plenty of tech to play with in the Hummer. The touchscreen stretches for 13.4 inches across the dash and comes loaded with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and navigation. Wireless charging comes standard, so you’ll always be able to charge your phone when you need to, and when it’s time to turn up the volume, the 14-speaker Bose stereo is just what you need.
Taking Things Off the Beaten Path
While the GMC Hummer EV SUV is capable of tackling all kinds of terrain with the standard features, you can add the Extreme Off-Road Package to take things to the next level. This package adds Goodyear Wrangler MT tires, underbody skid plates, and locking front and rear differentials. It also has front and rear underbody cameras so you can keep an eye on the terrain as you drive, and if you run into any problems, there are recovery hooks to help you get out of a jam.
All the Safety Systems You Can Think Of
You won’t have to wonder if your GMC Hummer has the technology to keep you safe. It comes equipped with a very long list of advanced driver aids. It has everything from forward collision warning, automatic braking, and blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic alert.
If you want some help keeping your distance on the highway, the adaptive cruise control will maintain a set distance from the car in front of you. You can also take it a step further with the available Super Cruise hands-free driving system.
