GMC Hummer EV SUV: Release Date, Range, Info
Once the hottest thing on the block, then a scorned beast, and now an eco-friendly warrior — the GMC Hummer EV SUV marks a glorious return. It's a strange yet exciting twist of fate.
Turn back the clock to 1983: AM General just introduced the High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle. Colloquially referred to as the Humvee, it would achieve an iconic fighting career that continues today. It started in the jungles of Panama, yet soon saw certain celebrities attracted to its no-nonsense design and engineering.
Thus, the Hummer H1 was born in the early '90s as a Humvee with a few creature comforts added. Look, you didn't buy a Hummer H1 for luxury or beauty, instead, you took command to dominate off-road, show your patriotic spirit, or just because you liked it. The Hummer was truly unique on public roads. It weighed almost the same as a bus, it unapologetically guzzled gas, and barely fit on city streets. Yet, that made it cool.
Rising gas prices, a focus on automotive downsizing, and an increase in climate consciousness all led to the Hummer’s end in 2010. But people didn't forget about it, and now it's back. It's just as bold and massive, but now the bare-bones nature and poor fuel economy jokes don't apply. Eco-friendliness and luxury trimmings are only the start — welcome to the new GMC Hummer EV SUV.
We're the GMC Hummer dealership Charlotte drivers trust, so read on and prepare for the Hummer's triumphant return.
The GMC Hummer EV SUV: Big and Bold Looks, Quiet Power and Luxury
Like the original, the GMC Hummer EV comes as a truck or SUV. Both are great choices, and you'll find looks reminiscent of the H1 in both, but with a modern style all around.
What's different is a focus on luxury and tech innovation, massive amounts of it in fact. From the moment you step inside a GMC Hummer EV SUV, this will be plain and clear. We'll dive into all that below so that you can get amped up for the GMC Hummer EV release date.
GMC Hummer EV Range and Electric Specs
From the GMC Hummer EV SUV horsepower to its estimated range, "beastly" doesn't just apply to the size. How so? Take a look at these specs:
- GM estimate of 300+ mile range
- Up to 300 kW of 800V DC fast-charging capabilities
- Regen On Demand regenerative braking
- GM Ultium battery pack tech
We get it, you want to know the traditional performance figures. They're downright absurd on the GMC Hummer EV SUV, in a very good way:
- Up to a GM-estimated 11,500 lb-ft of torque
- Up to 830 horsepower
- 0-60 mph in approximately 3.5 seconds with Watts to Freedom launch control
GMC Hummer EV Crab Mode and Off-Road Capabilities
If you're a Hummer H1 fan, you know that unstoppable off-road performance was its calling card. The GMC Hummer EV SUV continues that tradition. This starts with an all-wheel-drive layout optimizing that available torque. Laying it down, a set of specially designed 35" Goodyear Wrangler Territory® tires give grip on any surface. To get through the worst obstacles, full underbody steel plate armor is available.
Overall, the GMC Hummer EV SUV was designed around optimizing approach, departure, and break-over angles, making for a truly unstoppable off-road machine.
But there's more. Available four-wheel steer gives Crab Walk, which turns the rear wheels up to 10 degrees letting you drive diagonally. That's perfect for difficult trails near Charlotte, and so is the available Extract Mode which raises the available Adaptive Air Ride Suspension up to 6" on the fly. Add the available UltraVision system to get the full picture of obstacles below and around with 18 cameras and watch as you dominate them with ease.
The list goes on, and features like available front e-lockers can get your GMC Hummer EV SUV to spots other 4x4s can only dream of going.
GMC Hummer EV Interior
Premium: that's how we'd describe it. You'll find luxury and tech all around, including an expansive high-def 12.3" Driver Information Center display and a 13.4" touchscreen infotainment system.
Play your music through the Bose 14-speaker Centerpoint® audio system, then relive '70s T-top style with the available removable Transparent Sky Panels. The tech features roll on, and so does the practicality with a frunk and flat-folding rear seats. The cherry on top: GM's Super Cruise technology gives the GMC Hummer EV SUV hands-free semi-autonomous driving capabilities.
