GMC has introduced the 2022 Hummer EV Edition 1 – a first-of-its-kind super-truck developed to forge new paths with zero emissions.
GMC Hummer EV’s design cues will be bold and futuristic, featuring carefully executed and clever details such as the distinctive “H” motif seen in several elements. The reimagining of conventional displays communicates the vehicle’s capability and technology via exterior lighting and interior user interfaces.
It will be the first fully electric addition to GMC’s lineup, driven by next-generation EV propulsion technology that enables unprecedented off-road capability, extraordinary on-road performance and an immersive driving experience designed to put occupants at the centre of every moment.
The Hummer EV will get its energy from General Motors’ all-new Ultium batteries and power from Ultium Drive, GM’s proprietary EV drive units. A GM-estimated best-in-class 1,000 horsepower and GM-estimated 11,500 lb-ft of torque are generated by three separate motors within two Ultium drive units to give Hummer EV’s e4WD remarkable on- and off-road capabilities.
Additional purposeful and intuitive technologies will complement the truck’s range and capabilities to enhance and elevate every excursion.
The GMC Hummer EV is designed to be the ultimate off-road EV super truck, with all-new features developed to challenge tough obstacles and terrain.
The electric Hummer comes with a segment-exclusive 4 Wheel Steer featuring CrabWalk that allows the rear wheels and front wheels to steer at the same angle at low speeds, enabling diagonal movement of the vehicle, for even greater manoeuvrability on challenging terrain.
The electric pickup also gets Adaptive Air Suspension with Extract Mode capability which enables the suspension height to be raised approximately 6 inches (149 mm) to help the Hummer EV negotiate extreme off-road situations such as clearing boulders or fording water.
The Hummer EV comes with 35-inch-OD Goodyear Wrangler Territory MT tires as standard and also can accommodate 37-inch tires. These offer exceptional strength and flexibility to optimize manoeuvrability with the Hummer EV’s unprecedented off-road capability, including scaling 18-inch verticals and driving through water that is more than 2 feet deep.
Underbody armour, consisting of sturdy steel plates that are strategically located around the battery pack and more to help protect in extreme off-roading conditions.
UltraVision that includes new front and rear underbody cameras with live “virtual spotter” views to help drivers navigate obstacles and place wheels on and off the trail. The underbody cameras are packaged to help protect against damage and equipped with a wash function to help clear debris. Hummer EV offers a best-in-class number of camera views, with up to 18 available from the vehicle to help increase awareness of surroundings.
Off-road widgets that display vehicle functions and terrain status through the infotainment and driver information screens. Examples include torque output, differential locker engagement, tire pressure, pitch and roll angles (including maximum values), a drift gauge (with maximum values), friction circle, torque vectoring and more.
Industry-leading fast-charge capabilities, paired with General Motors’ all-new Ultium battery and advanced technology features, will coalesce to offer the maximum capability and optimal range.
Revolutionary street performance from a truck, enabled by extraordinary next-gen EV power. Head-turning looks and an unmistakable stance. The GMC Hummer EV experience will put drivers in the middle of every moment.
Three-motor e4WD drive system offers the equivalent of GM-estimated 1,000 horsepower and GM-estimated 11,500 lb-ft of torque. 24-module, double-stacked Ultium battery propulsion system that will offer excellent range and power to three motors.
Industry-first technology mechanically switches the batteries from parallel to series mode during charging, which makes Hummer EV compatible with the fastest 350 kW DC fast chargers, enabling nearly 100 miles of range in 10 minutes of charging. The Hummer EV offers GM-estimated 350+ miles of driving range on a full charge, based on preliminary testing.
The latest version of Super Cruise, an available driver assistance feature offering hands-free driving on more than 200,000 miles (approximately 322,000 km) of enabled roads, and a new automatic lane changing feature, where the system can determine when a lane change is optimal and initiate the manoeuvre while following signalling protocols.
The Hummer EV also features Watts to Freedom, a driver-selectable immersive experience that unleashes the full acceleration capability of the EV propulsion system, including GM-estimated 0-60-mph performance in approximately 3 seconds.
Drive Mode Control offers driver-selectable modes that tailor performance – including torque splits between the front and rear wheels, and four-wheel steering settings – for different driving conditions. It includes Terrain Mode, which raises the Hummer EV’s ride height by nearly 2 inches.
The Adaptive Ride Control offers continuous damping that is tailored for both on- and off-road driving.
Open-air driving is enabled by the structural rigidity of the Ultium batteries, with standard Infinity Roof and removable transparent Sky Panels that can stow in the “frunk” storage compartment at the front of the vehicle.
The all-electric pickup features large, 13.4-inch diagonal infotainment screen and 12.3-inch diagonal driver information centre display that conveys a wealth of vehicle performance and driver awareness information.
The Hummer EV also gets MultiPro Tailgate with six functional positions and Power rear drop glass window and power tonneau cover.
