The design of the 2024 GMC Hummer EV SUV
The original Hummer caught the attention of consumers simply for being the size that it was, and the new Hummer EV SUV carries on that tradition.
On the surface, the new Hummer looks a lot like the old one, as both are inspired by the military Humvee. The new design is more rounded than the classic Hummer, though, giving the Hummer EV a more futuristic feel.
Those who want to be early adopters for the Hummer EV can purchase an Edition 1. This features a Moonshot Green Matte design that looks even more futuristic.
What features are included with the Hummer EV?
The GMC Hummer EV SUV is engineered to showcase the power that an electric vehicle can have. In terms of horsepower, the Hummer EV ranges from 625 to 830. Using a unique launch system, it can go from 0-60 mph in 3.5 seconds.
Innovative driving mechanics are at the heart of the Hummer EV. An example of this is the "Crab Walk" mode which allows the Hummer to move all four wheels to drive diagonally. This can help the vehicle make difficult turns and maneuvers.
How can the Hummer EV impact the car industry?
The new Hummer EV addresses the flaws of its predecessor, and returns as a more viable vehicle. For the automotive industry, the Hummer EV also represents an important moment in technology.
More industry leaders are developing electric vehicles to bring to the market. If the Hummer EV SUV is successful, it could inspire others manufacturers to focus on electric vehicles.
Motor Trend estimates that the Edition 1 of the Hummer EV SUV will start at $105,595. The rest of the lineup will be launched by spring 2024 and range from $79,995 to $99,995.
The Hummer pickup truck is also being electrified. The SUV is expected to outsell the 2022 GMC Hummer EV pickup.
