2024 GMC HUMMER EV SUV Debuts during March Madness

Press Release

Quote:
Expands GMC’s all-electric supertruck lineup
2021-04-03

DETROIT – GMC’s electric supertruck lineup expands with the addition of the 2024 HUMMER EV SUV making its debut during the NCAA’s Final Four in a new commercial film narrated by LeBron James. Fans can also watch the reveal and place a reservation at GMC.com/HummerEV.

The new spot focuses on the SUV’s revolutionary capability and signature HUMMER EV features that offer Extract Mode and CrabWalk1.

“The GMC HUMMER EVs were envisioned to be the most capable and compelling electric supertrucks ever,” said Duncan Aldred, global vice president of Buick and GMC. “The new HUMMER EV SUV is the next chapter, which will offer many options for customers to tailor the truck to their lifestyles, while continuing to encourage them to forge new paths with zero emissions.”

Driven by General Motors’ next-generation Ultium Platform, the new HUMMER EV SUV launches with the exclusive Edition 1, offering customer choice to equip the vehicle for optimal driving range or maximum off-road capability. Edition 1 comes standard with 22-inch premium wheels, assist steps and floor liners.

The available Extreme Off-Road package adds 18-inch wheels and 35-inch-OD MT tires, underbody armor and rock sliders, front eLocker and virtual rear lockers, heavy-duty ball-spline half shafts, UltraVision2 with underbody camera views and more.

Expected best-in-class off-road proportions will help make the new SUV maneuverable, while also making the most of the HUMMER EV’s available signature features such as CrabWalk, Extract Mode and more. The SUV’s look remains rugged and includes a new rear design with mounted full-size spare tire. Inside, a similar five-passenger layout from the pickup remains and includes a large and useful rear cargo area.

Additional highlights:
  • Master of maneuverability, with a 126.7-inch wheelbase giving it expected best-in-class off-road proportions with impressive departure and breakover angles, and a tighter turning circle of only 35.4 feet (10.8 meters) with 4 Wheel Steer standard on 2X, 3X and Edition 1
  • An immersive interior puts the driver at the center of every moment, including customizable, multisensory user features and an open driving experience with the standard Infinity Roof with removable Sky Panels, I-Bar and rear drop glass
  • GM’s Ultium Drive System offers up to 830 horsepower and up to 11,500 lb-ft of torque (GM estimated) — enough power for super-fast 0-60-mph sprints in approximately 3.5 seconds with Watts To Freedom3
  • New tactical technology via the redesigned myGMC app4 including Energy Assist
  • Great degree of customization via My Mode, auxiliary buttons and nearly 200 accessories available at launch
  • Next-gen electric, with a 20-module Ultium battery system offering up to a GM estimated 300-plus miles of range5 on Edition 1 (with standard equipment)
Additionally, all HUMMER EV SUV models feature the enhanced version of Super Cruise6, an available driver-assistance technology 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 maneuver, while following signaling protocols.

Pricing and Production

When production begins in early 2023, the HUMMER EV SUV Edition 1 will have a starting MSRP of $105,5957 (including DFC). When equipped with the available Extreme Off-Road Package, the starting price will be $110,5957 (including DFC).

Performance targets, estimates and capability specifications based on computer-aided analysis and simulation using virtual engineering tools. Estimates may vary depending on model and trim. Additional model and trim details can be found at GMC.com. Actual production model and results may vary.

More information and reservation details are available at www.gmc.com/HummerEV, and additional details on new HUMMER EV SUV features will be published on Monday, April 5.

When dropped from orbit, it seems to make a crater on the same magnitude as the original H1.
Can't think of many scenarios where that's useful.

It's nice that they don't pretend that anyone will take this SUV off roading.

Amazing to see so many commercials on TV for a $100k vehicle. More than I think I've ever seen in my life.

I didn't realize everyone sitting around watching TV are 1 percenters.

It certainly looks beautiful and elite, but it seems to me that Hamer should not be so pretentious. I'm used to the fact that this is a big and brutal car, and not some kind of toy. Most likely it will have a very high price, somewhere on a par with the bugatti car, but this is relative.

You can order one for $80K. Still "near 1 percenter" territory, but I have coworkers that drive trucks worth almost that much and they are far from 1 percenters. If you consider the fuel savings, it's almost justifiable.

Once you throw in the irony of driving a "green vehicle" named Hummer, it's even more tempting.

Nothing says "I'm environmentally responsible" like a 9000 lb personal vehicle.

We will move to EVs to reduce emissions, and it’ll be encouraged or mandated in order to accelerate the natural process that would have eventually happened without those mandates. If we had no mandates then EVs would eventually replace ICEs because EVs are better for most people or eventually because oil reserves would be ow enough that the rising fuel costs would be prohibitive for the average person.

But the cat is out of the bag. EVs are fast and excellent platforms for luxury vehicles. An EV buyer doesn’t need to be a tree hugging vegan trading in their Prius. The Hummer EV is a better Hummer. It just also happens to be an EV. I doubt many buyers will be buying the Hummer with being environmentally responsible on their mind. With that said, if the car gets charged using home solar and renewables then it may be green too. Having your cake and eating it too, so to speak.
