The new GMC Hummer EV has been revealed, reviving the nameplate for a 986bhp pick-up that will offer “unprecedented off-road capability and extraordinary on-road performance”, as the company claims.
The Hummer is back for 2022, and it’s not the gas-guzzling, military-inspired behemoth you might remember from before. It’s an off-road pickup truck—an SUV is coming in 2023—powered by General Motors’ new Ultium batteries and up to three electric motors that will produce up to 1000 horsepower. Think of it as an electric rival of sorts to the Ford F-150 Raptor and Ram 1500 TRX, and if it’s going to compete with those off-road monsters it’ll need some off-road chops of its own.
Here’s all the off-road equipment available on the 2022 GMC Hummer EV:
Al Oppenheiser, the Hummer EV’s chief engineer, claimed the vehicle will be “an absolute off-road beast”, with the e4WD system giving it “ manoeuvrability unlike anything GM has ever offered before”.
All four roof panels will fit inside the Hummer’s frunk for storage. A vinyl storage bag will be standard, but more fastidious owners can also opt for the optional foam storage boxes that will be available as a dealer accessory.
The Hummer brand, which sold a range of road vehicles based on the military Humvee from 1992 and 2009, has been resurrected by owner General Motors as a new sub-brand to its GMC marque for a range of electric off-road vehicles for the US market. The Tesla Supertruck rival that will start the range will go into production late next year ahead of sales beginning in 2022.
