The 2024 GMC Hummer EV SUV is a technological showcase but it’s as inefficient with electricity as its namesake was with gas.
The 2024 GMC Hummer EV SUV is a show off. The 9,000-pound beast sprints to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds. It has an air suspension that can adjust the ground clearance by 9.7 inches. Its rear-wheel steering has a Crab Walk feature that enables it to move diagonally. And it has video game graphics with a lunar theme because this terrestrial machine has yet to meet its planetary match.
“It was like mashed potatoes,” Sean Poppitt, director of global Buick and GMC communications, said about the conditions. The UltraVision camera system, front e-locker, and AT tires are part of the $10,000 Extreme Off-Road package that includes five steel skid plates running from the front bumper to the rear axle and sealing off the stacked battery pack. With no locking differential hanging down like a dangling pumpkin, the flat underbody created plenty of space to clear rock and log obstacles.
The nose raises as this block of an SUV shuttles forward, pinning you in your seat. It uses all three motors but initially retards front motor torque. Keeping the wheel straight is a challenge. It’s remarkable and unsettling, to be sitting so high and moving from 0-60 mph in 3.5 seconds . The Hummer EV can be kept in that WTF for however long you want, but it is not advisable due to the bottomed out suspension. But it is a neat party trick.
I tested both the 2024 Hummer EV 3X SUV for $106,645, including a $1,995 destination fee, and the sold out Edition 1 for $105,595. In June, GMC stopped taking reservations for the Edition 1 SUV, andfor EV3X, EV2X, and EV2 models. The testers were similarly equipped, with a $1,495 Infinity Roof on the EV3X with a spine down the middle and four detachable panels that can be stowed neatly in the frunk.
