According to reporting from Car and Driver, the electric motors probably produce closer to 800 lb-ft (1,085 Nm), a number that would be more impressive had GM stuck to it rather than giving into the temptation to trump up its numbers. Pardon our skepticism, but we’re all but certain that number is far from credible – it likely represents torque where the tire meets the road, which is always higher than what’s made by the actual powertrain. GMC Hummer EV Specs & FeaturesĪt launch, the 2022 GMC Hummer EV will take marching orders from three electric motors that offer a GM-estimated 1,000 horsepower (746 kilowatts) and laughable 11,500 pound-feet (15,592 newton-meters). The hoon within all of us will also like the “drift gauge,” that keeps a running tally of the Hummer’s maximum drift angle.

In tamer driving, off-road widgets in the infotainment display and instrument cluster inform the driver of the vehicle’s torque output, locking differential status, tire pressure, pitch and roll angles, torque split, and more. ⠀ GMC Hummer EV Really Makes The Same Torque As A Heavy-Duty Pickup GM claims 0 to 60 miles per hour can happen in as few as three seconds in this mode.

The optional, unusually named Watts to Freedom mode activates an immersive driving experience that also unleashes the full capability of the EV powertrain for maximum acceleration. Other cameras provide a maximum of 18 different views. Off-roaders – and mall crawlers – will appreciate the UltraVision front and rear underbody cameras that show a live view of what’s under the truck, making wheel placement (or parking) easier and more convenient. There’s a wealth of functionality in the system, too. The Hummer features a massive 13.4-inch infotainment screen and a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster. The airy cockpit gets an extremely tech-forward approach befitting the truck’s premium positioning. Meanwhile, power-dropping rear glass opens up the cabin even more. One large panel spans the width of the front row, with two half-panels over the left and right sides of the rear seat. That Ultium battery structure provides enough platform stiffness to allow for an open-air “Infinity Roof,” featuring three transparent panels that can be removed and stored in the large "frunk," or front trunk. Unlike the Hummer H2 SUT, the GMC Hummer EV has a fixed rear bulkhead, so longer cargo will have to sit on the tailgate (after being properly secured, of course).Ī beefy skid plate is the first indicator that GMC is serious about the Hummer EV’s off-road ruggedness – strategically located underbody steel plates protect vital drivetrain components like the floor-mounted battery packs. A power-operated tonneau cover secures cargo and improves aerodynamics when needed. Wide box flares on the front and rear fenders provide plenty of clearance for standard 35-inch Goodyear Wrangler Territory mud-terrain tires – and the electric Hummer has room for giant 37s, if you’re so inclined.Īt the rear is a smallish cargo box, accessed via a MultiPro tailgate like the one found on the GMC Sierra. A high beltline and narrow side glass echo the old H2’s gun-slit greenhouse, but the angled C-pillar is like nothing else from Hummer’s repertoire and provides some sense of forward-leaning motion. Unusual H-shaped headlight elements replace the round units found on those off-roaders, with a full-width LED light bar proudly bearing the Hummer wordmark, each letter separated by seven vertical “grille” slats in an homage to the internal-combustion original.Īs we’ve seen in previous teasers, the electric Hummer gets a very upright windshield that recalls the vertical glass of previous models while still preserving some aerodynamic efficiency. The Hummer EV leaves no question as to its heritage, although the pickup’s styling is sleeker and more modern than its H1, H2, and H3 forebears. GM’s proprietary Ultium battery technology, which it will share with Honda, will give the Hummer a range of 350-plus miles. In spite of its “Professional Grade” parentage, the Hummer EV will be instantly recognizable, thanks to its open-air design and signature styling cues.
Then, in January, we got our first look at a teaser of the electric Hummer, learning that it would be branded as a GMC when it returned – a move that likely saves GM some cash by not having to spin off yet another vehicle division. Rumors started swirling last year that the vaunted Hummer name would come back to GM’s lineup as an all-electric premium off-roader.
