2027 GMC Hummer EV SUVMotorTrend - MotorTrendRoof comes offPowerful, agile, and funLots of standard equipmentGuzzles electricityPlasticky interior materialsCan't defy physicsThe all-electric GMC Hummer EV pays tribute to the military Humvee while transforming the storied nameplate into a fun, futuristic SUV. Introduced for 2022, the Hummer EV comes in SUV and pickup forms, each equipped with a large battery, removable roof panels, ample tech, and true off-road capability.This big beast faces off against other high-end, high-performance electric SUVs such as the Rivian R1S, Mercedes-Benz G-Class EV, and Porsche Cayenne EV.What's NewFor 2027, GMC marks the debut of the Hummer H2 in 2002 with the bright yellow, NACS-equipped Hummer EV Icon 25 Edition. It's the headline update this year, though minor trim and feature changes may follow.This page will be updated with more insights and photos as information becomes available.What We ThinkThe Hummer EV SUV pairs genuine personality with real capability. Performance is a constant punchline. On launch, the Hummer points its nose to the sky as a synthesized soundtrack fills the cabin. Whether equipped with two or three motors, the SUV feels plenty quick.Height-adjustable air suspension delivers a supple ride and stable composure on roads and rugged trails. Four-wheel steering makes this giant vehicle pivot with surprising ease.But the Hummer EV can't defy physics. Braking distances are long, hard cornering brings understeer, and the enormous body can be difficult to place. Efficiency is poor, and even though range and charging stats are good, refilling the enormous battery takes a long time. What's more, cheap-feeling cabin materials fall short of the vehicle's six-figure price.Pragmatism isn't on the Hummer EV's options list, but that likely won't matter to buyers seeking outrageous acceleration, all-terrain ability, open-air fun, and unmistakable presence.Top-Ranked Competitors:Rivian R1SPorsche Cayenne EVMercedes-Benz G-Class EVLucid GravityMotorTrend TestedWith the base 2X dual-motor AWD powertrain, the Hummer EV SUV has 570 hp, 740 lb-ft of torque, and a 0–60 time of 4.5 seconds. When equipped with the Extreme Off-Road package, the powertrain is retuned to produce 635 hp and Watts to Freedom (WTF) launch mode. That reduces the 0–60 time to about 3.5 seconds.The upgrade 3X tri-motor system has two rear motors and a single front motor. That powertrain produces 830 hp and about 900 lb-ft of torque, reducing the 0–60 time to 3.4 seconds.When the 3X powertrain is paired with the Carbon Fiber Edition package, it makes 1,160 hp, cutting 0–60 down to under 3.0 seconds.EV Range and ChargingDue to its shorter wheelbase, the Hummer EV SUV is not offered with a 24-module battery pack, like the Pickup version is. Every Hummer EV SUV has a 20-module battery pack with 180 kWh of capacity.Driving range for the Hummer EV SUV 2X is estimated at 319 miles. With the Extreme Off-Road package, it's estimated at 298 miles; it went 253 miles in MotorTrend's Road-Trip Range test.With the 3X powertrain, the Hummer EV SUV can do about 310 miles on a charge. Choosing the Extreme Off-Road package reduces range to approximately 294 miles.A 350-kW maximum charge rate is impressive, but the Hummer EV SUV's huge battery still takes a long time to charge. In MotorTrend testing, it gained 72 miles in the first 15 minutes after plugging in and 120 miles after 30 minutes. The addition of a NACS port for 2027 improves charging convenience.Safety and Driver Assist FeaturesGMC equips every Hummer EV SUV with front and rear automatic emergency braking, rear cross-traffic alert, blind-spot monitoring, lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control, automatic high-beams, and rain-sensing windshield wipers. For hands-free driving capability, a trial subscription to Super Cruise is also included.Cargo Space and Interior RoomThe Hummer EV SUV is huge—accordingly, there's a huge amount of space inside. An 11.3 cubic foot frunk under the hood adds additional storage space. Unlike some of its electric SUV rivals, the Hummer is offered only in a two-row, five-seat configuration.Towing and PayloadTowing tops out at 10,300 pounds with the 2X powertrain and 7,900 pounds with the 3X powertrain. Maximum payload is 1,860 pounds on 2X models and 1,630 pounds on 3X models.TechnologyEvery Hummer EV Pickup is equipped with a 12.3-inch digital driver's display, 13.4-inch infotainment touchscreen, and digital rearview mirror.Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, along with apps for off-road navigation, towing, and battery management. There are USB ports in both rows of seats and a wireless charging pad up front. A 14-speaker Bose audio system and 360-degree camera are also standard.All Hummer EV SUV models feature a 12.3-inch digital gauge display, 13.4-inch infotainment touchscreen, and a digital rearview mirror. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard.It gets apps for towing, battery management, and navigation, as well, including for off-road trails. Both rows of seats have USB charge ports, and there's a wireless charging pad up front. A 360-degree camera and 14-speaker Bose premium audio system are standard on every Hummer EV SUV.ValueStandard FeaturesExpect the 2027 Hummer EV SUV to start at slightly more than $100,000 in base trim with the 2X powertrain. Even in basic form, it comes with lots of features, such as 22-inch wheels, heated and ventilated front seats, a 360-degree camera, animated LED lighting, all-wheel steering, removable roof panels, and a power-operated frunk lid.Recommended TrimThe Hummer EV SUV is very quick with the 3X powertrain, but the 2X setup is already plenty powerful. We'd stick with the 2X model, which has essentially the same design, features, and equipment as 3X variants.New Hummer EV SUV Icon 25 EditionTo commemorate the introduction of the Hummer H2 25 years ago, GMC introduces the Hummer EV Icon 25 Edition for 2027. This version won't be mistaken for any other Hummer EV thanks to its eye-catching Icon Yellow paint.Exclusive black 22-inch wheels further distinguish it, along with all-black upholstery and a serialized dedication plaque inside. The infotainment system gets unique graphics that pay tribute to classic Hummer models. The Icon 25 Edition is offered with the 2X and 3X powertrains.
