2025 GMC HUMMER EV SUV

The GMC Hummer EV SUV just might be the most attention-grabbing SUV on the road today. Its aesthetics, which blend military heritage with a modern, high-tech look, are unignorable, not to mention the sheer size of the thing. The reinvented Hummer’s performance is as outlandish as its appearance, with a 0-60 mph time as quick as 3.5 seconds. You can find family-friendly practicality and frugal efficiency elsewhere; the GMC Hummer EV SUV is an electric vehicle made for making a statement and going fast, on-road or off.

We’ve spent hundreds of hours driving and evaluating this generation of electric SUVs, including the 2025 GMC Hummer EV SUV.

There’s no Edition 1 or Omega Edition this year; the 2025 GMC Hummer EV SUV model range only consists of the dual-motor 2X and the tri-motor 3X. Also, two new paint options are available: Solar Orange and Graphite Blue Metallic.

The GMC Hummer EV SUV has few direct rivals, but the closest is the Rivian R1S, which has a starting price under $80k. However, the tri-motor Rivian is priced very close to the Hummer EV SUV 3X. One could also compare the Hummer EV SUV to the mechanically similar Cadillac Escalade IQ, a 3-row electric luxury SUV starting at about $130k.

Before buying a Hummer EV SUV, check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to know what you should really pay. GMC Hummer EV SUV resale value is outstanding for the segment. Recouping more money when selling a vehicle can mean a bigger down payment and lower monthly payments on the next one.

The difference between the two trims of the GMC Hummer EV SUV is in the motors. The 2X model has a dual-motor electric powertrain making 570 horsepower and 7,400 lb-ft of torque. As you may have already guessed by the number, the 3X model has three motors generating 830 horsepower and 11,500 lb-ft of torque. No, those torque ratings are not typos. Both models have 4-wheel drive (4WD).

We tested the Hummer EV SUV 3X and came away impressed. This super SUV’s acceleration is simply astounding. In our experience driving the 3-motor electric powertrain, the Hummer can be a quiet, comfy cruiser or a cannonball. It’s relaxing to drive on the highway with the standard Super Cruise hands-free driving system engaged, but hold on tight when you floor the accelerator from a standstill.

The Watts to Freedom launch mode isn’t for the faint of heart; it throws you in the back of your seat like a steep drop on a roller coaster. With 830 horsepower and instant torque delivery to all four wheels, the Hummer has all the power you could realistically want.

The Hummer EV SUV is a surprisingly agile behemoth. According to GMC, it has the same turning radius as the little Chevy Bolt. This is achieved with 4-wheel steering; the rear wheels can turn up to 10 degrees. A low center of gravity (thanks to the battery packaged in the floor) and 4-wheel steering make this massive SUV more nimble and easier to park than we expected.

However, the Hummer can only disguise its weight so much. There are still some reminders that this is a hefty electric vehicle. The brakes are adequate, but it still brakes like a big, heavy truck.

The off-road chops of the Hummer EV SUV are admirable if you’re into off-roading with something this big. The Off-Road and Terrain drive modes, a tight turning radius, adjustable ground clearance, and full-length skid plates make the Hummer up for anything.

CrabWalk mode is perhaps a bit gimmicky, but it’s a fun gimmick. In addition to maneuvering off-road, we also used it to get in and out of tight parallel parking spots…and we may have used it while exiting a drive-thru just to show off. Serious off-roaders will want the upgrades that come with the Extreme Off-Road Package, but every Hummer EV is a capable off-roader.

Range and Charging

The GMC Hummer EV SUV’s maximum range is 315 miles in the 2X model and 312 miles in the 3X model. The all-terrain tires on the Extreme Off-Road Package bring a slight penalty to range and efficiency: 289 miles for the 3X and 282 miles for the 2X. Those range ratings are long enough for most people’s daily driving duties, but the Rivian R1S goes up to 410 miles on a full charge.

The Hummer EV has impressive charging speeds. At a DC Fast Charging station, it can get 100 miles of range in as little as 14 minutes. With a Level 2 charger at home, it can replenish up to 30 miles of range per hour.

The interior of the Hummer EV SUV is a far cry from the military vehicle that inspired it. This SUV has premium materials, an upscale design, and the latest tech features. There’s plenty of space in both rows of seats, but we can’t help but think an SUV this big ought to have a third row. The big cargo hold (35.9 cubic feet) gets bigger with fold-flat back seats (81.8 cubic feet). Oh, and there’s an 11-cubic-foot “frunk” under the hood.

The interior design strikes a nice balance of rugged and luxurious. It’s also high-tech, with a digital gauge cluster and a vast 13.4-inch infotainment system with beautiful graphics and a user-friendly interface powered by Google.

The Hummer’s cabin is designed to be both premium and durable, and it does that job well, but similarly priced electric SUVs feel more elegant inside. We’re mainly thinking of the Rivian R1S, which has a nicer interior (with 3-row seating) and a lower starting price.

Like its predecessors bearing the Hummer name, the Hummer EV SUV has an unmistakable aesthetic. The GMC badging is quite subtle, but there’s no question that this is a Hummer. It has a boxy shape, but it also looks futuristic with a unique LED light signature and pronounced fender flares.

One of the coolest features of this SUV is the standard Infinity Roof with four modular sky panels. They’re removable and designed to stack up in the frunk. This allows you to open up the interior for a more open-air experience, plus you can roll down the power rear drop glass. Transparent Sky Panels are optional, providing a panoramic view even with the top on.

The size of the Hummer EV SUV is similar to that of the Rivian R1S. Compared to a more traditional full-size SUV like the GMC Yukon, the Hummer is a little lower and wider but has a shorter overall length.

Watts to Freedom
The thrilling Watts to Freedom feature is a launch mode that unleashes the Hummer’s 3.5-second 0-60 mph time with the tri-motor powertrain.

CrabWalk
Standard on both trims, CrabWalk uses 4-wheel steering to let the vehicle travel diagonally. The rear wheels can point up to 10 degrees in either direction. CrabWalk makes it easy to maneuver past obstacles in off-road situations, mitigating the need to reverse, steer, drive, and repeat.

Super Cruise
The standard Super Cruise system allows hands-free driving on GM-mapped roads, including over 400,000 highway miles in North America.

UltraVision
The available UltraVision system uses up to 18 camera views to let you see everything around your SUV, including what’s underneath you. This is useful in off-road driving and in parking lots.

Extreme Off-Road Package
This available option package turns up the Hummer’s off-road capabilities with 35-inch mud terrain tires, front and rear e-lockers, ball spline half shafts, full-length skid plates, a rubber floor, and more.

Power swing gate
This power swing rear gate comes standard on the Hummer EV SUV. It features a power window and a full-size spare tire. These are usually cumbersome to open and close because of the wheel’s weight, but not with this convenient feature.

A substantial 170-kWh battery pack delivers fuel to the motors in the GMC Hummer EV. Although it’s efficient compared to a full-size SUV with a gas engine, efficiency is not a strong suit of the Hummer EV. Rated at 53 combined MPGe for the 2X trim and 52 MPGe for the 3X, it’s one of the least efficient EVs on the market. The Rivian R1S gets up to 85 MPGe combined, good for lower EPA-esimated fuel costs by a factor of $45/month. In fact, there are hybrids with gas engines that have lower fuel costs than the all-electric Hummer.

3-Year/36,000-Mile Warranty

The GMC Hummer EV SUV is backed by a 3-year/36,000-mile basic warranty and a 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty. The battery and related components are covered by an 8-year/100,000-mile warranty. Additionally, GMC throws in complimentary maintenance for your first visit.

Safety

Standard safety features in the GMC Hummer EV SUV include enhanced automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, HD Surround Vision, and the Super Cruise hands-free highway driving system.
