2027 GMC Hummer Truck MotorTrend - MotorTrendFull of personalityProper off-road chopsQuick and agileMediocre interior materialsHuge and heavyBed isn't very bigEven with all-electric power, the GMC Hummer EV Pickup is a worthy tribute to the original Humvee truck designed for military use. Now the Hummer EV is something of a big, bold, lifestyle vehicle, but it's still properly capable and more fun to drive than ever.Introduced for 2022, the Hummer EV is offered in truck and SUV body styles, both with big batteries, removable roof panels, and solid off-road chops. Rivals to the Hummer EV include the Rivian R1T, Chevrolet Silverado EV, and Tesla Cybertruck.What's NewTo commemorate the arrival of the Hummer H2 in 2002, GMC introduces the very yellow and NACS-equipped Hummer EV Icon 25 edition for 2027. That's the main change to the Hummer EV this year, but other minor feature and trim updates are possible, too.This page will be updated with more insights and photos as information becomes available.What We ThinkA 9,000-pound chunk of metal and batteries shouldn't move like this, but the Hummer EV Pickup defies logic. Its launch is quick and theatrical, complete with seat vibrations, sci-fi graphics, and enough squat to make every run feel like an amusement park ride.Not just a gimmick, the Hummer EV has real talent. Air suspension crushes big impacts, and four-wheel steering makes this brute surprisingly maneuverable. Removable roof panels add open-air fun. Optional off-road tires, lockers, and armor let it tackle trails with confidence.Still, the Hummer EV Pickup is built more for fun than getting work done. Its short bed, modest payload, and middling towing ability are outclassed by other trucks. What's more, a cheap-feeling cabin undercuts its six-figure price tag. Efficiency is poor, and although total driving range is good, the huge battery takes a long time to charge.Every Hummer has leaned into absurdity, and the EV is no different. For buyers seeking personality, wild acceleration, and major presence, the Hummer EV Pickup is fantastic.Top-Ranked Competitors:Rivian R1TChevrolet Silverado EVTesla CybertruckMercedes-Benz G-Class EVMotorTrend TestedThe Hummer EV Pickup's base 2X dual-motor AWD powertrain makes 570 hp and 740 lb-ft, delivering an estimated 0–60-mph time of slightly less than 5.0 seconds. Opting for the Extreme Off-Road package adapts the dual-motor powertrain to produce 635 hp in Watts to Freedom (WTF) launch mode, cutting the 0–60 sprint down to about 3.5 seconds.The available 3X powertrain equips the Hummer EV with dual rear motors and a single front motor. This setup cranks out 830 hp and 900 lb-ft of torque with the 20-module pack, or 1,000 hp and 1,200 lb-ft with the 24-module pack. That takes the 0–60 run down to just over 3.0 seconds.With the optional Carbon Fiber Edition package, the 3X tri-motor powertrain is retuned to produce 1,160 hp, reducing the 0–60 time to a claimed 2.8 seconds.EV Range and ChargingWith the 2X powertrain, driving range for the Hummer EV Pickup is about 316 miles as standard or 300 miles with the Extreme Off-Road package.The 3X powertrain can be paired with a 20-module battery pack of 180 kWh, or a 24-module pack with 205 kWh of capacity. With the 3X powertrain and 20-module battery, the Hummer can drive about 312 miles as standard or 297 miles when equipped with the Extreme Off-Road package. Choosing the 24-module pack extends range to as much as 363 miles, or 345 miles with the Extreme Off-Road package.Equipped with an 800-volt electrical architecture, the Hummer EV can charge very quickly, at rates up to 350 kW. That allows it to gain 100 miles of range in 10 minutes under ideal conditions.However, due to the size of the battery, overall charging still takes a long time; our testing measured a 5 to 80 percent charge time of 52 minutes. For 2027, the Hummer EV gains a native NACS port to make charging more convenient.Safety and Driver Assist FeaturesEvery Hummer EV comes equipped 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. General Motors' Super Cruise hands-free driving technology is also included on a trial basis.Cargo Space and Interior RoomThe Hummer EV Pickup is big, so it's no surprise there's plenty of space inside. However, some of its all-electric truck rivals offer similar capacity.Towing and PayloadWhen properly equipped, the Hummer EV Pickup can tow up to 10,600 pounds with the 3X powertrain and 12,100 pounds with the 2X powertrain. Payload tops out at 1,600 pounds on 3X models and 1,760 pounds on 2X 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.ValueStandard FeaturesPricing for the 2027 GMC Hummer EV Pickup is expected to start at approximately $100,000 for the 2X model. It's expensive but comes with plenty of appealing features such as 22-inch wheels, a power-operated frunk, full LED lighting, all-wheel steering, removable roof panels, heated and ventilated front seats, automated parking assistance, and 360-degree camera system.Recommended TrimAlthough 3X models are quick, 2X variants are still plenty of fun to drive while providing essentially the same features and equipment. Save some money and stick with the base powertrain for the Hummer EV Pickup.New Hummer EV Pickup 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.
