It weighs as much as a small school bus and has more torque than a heavy-duty pickup—and it left us grinning from ear to ear.
preceded it. It's certainly not the most efficient electric people mover ever built, but it lives up to its Hummer name by being incredibly capable off-road and the most rugged-looking SUV in your Whole Foods parking lot. With the Hummer pickup getting into owners' hands with some regularity, GMC has finally also begun shipping the long-awaited SUV to dealers.
Because the vehicles are built on the modular Ultium platform, the Hummer SUV's 9-inch-shorter wheelbase accommodates four fewer battery modules . The result is a battery pack with about 170 kWh of usable storage . At this capacity, GM targets a 300-mile range, which isn't a substantial drop from the Hummer pickup's GMC-estimated 329 miles.
The Hummer EV SUV's ultimate party trick is, of course, its ludicrous Watts to Freedom launch control, which enables maximum straight-line performance. With the battery charged to greater than 80 percent, the nearly 9,000-pound SUV launches from naught to 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds. To enable WTF mode, the Hummer needs to be turned on and in park.
With the Hummer SUV carrying a price tag north of six figures and rocking more than 800 hp, you might be inclined to think it would have highway chops to match. On the contrary, it instead feels more like an amusement park ride than the"supertruck" GMC describes it as. Each body movement feels wildly exaggerated; the way the SUV pitches, dives, and yaws will have the driver giggling at the lunacy while passengers clutch at grab handles.
When exactly CrabWalk is useful is another story entirely. Picture this: You're driving up a steep, loose, off-camber trail, and suddenly there's a boulder in the way. Unfortunately, because of your rear locking differential, the truck's rear end starts to slide down the grade. This wouldn't be an issue if not for that pesky rock.
