GMC Hummer EV Pickup 3X Extended Range

Overview

The 2025 GMC Hummer EV 3X Extended Range is a behemoth electric pickup, a resurrection of a legendary nameplate, now all-electric and utterly bonkers. It positions itself as a supertruck, blending outrageous off-road capability with shocking on-road performance. Key highlights for the 3X Extended Range include its immense power, impressive (Green Cars Compare estimated) range, and unique features like CrabWalk. As it's not officially sold in Europe, official EU pricing isn't available; expect significant import costs on top of its high US MSRP, likely exceeding €150,000 if sourced.

What's New for 2025?

For 2025, the GMC Hummer EV Pickup, including the 3X Extended Range trim, largely carries over the extreme features that defined its launch. While specific EU-market updates are nil due to its US-centric availability, the 2025 models continue to benefit from potential over-the-air software updates refining existing tech like Super Cruise and the infotainment system. The core powertrain and battery specs for the 3X Extended Range remain consistent with its 2021 production start, focusing on delivering its signature blend of colossal power and surprising electric range. No major hardware changes have been announced.

Design & Exterior

The Hummer EV 3X Extended Range is an absolute unit, with a design that screams "look at me!" Its blocky, futuristic take on the classic Hummer silhouette features distinctive full-width LED lighting, rugged bumpers, and typically rides on chunky 35-inch tyres. The dimensions are substantial: 5507 mm long, 2201 mm wide (without mirrors), and 2009 mm tall. Removable transparent Sky Panels for an open-air experience are a standout feature, making this electric beast look like it drove straight out of a sci-fi movie, ready to conquer any terrain or just the high street.

Interior, Tech & Cargo

Inside the Hummer EV 3X, you'll find a surprisingly tech-forward and spacious cabin for five, albeit with some hard plastics reflecting its rugged intentions. Dominating the dash are a large 13.4-inch infotainment screen and a 12.3-inch digital driver display, both running Unreal Engine graphics, with standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Cargo-wise, the pickup bed offers a generous 1040 litres. A very useful 320-litre frunk (front trunk) adds more secure storage. Max cargo capacity with seats folded for internal cabin storage isn't specified but expect typical pickup flexibility.

Performance & Driving Experience

Hold on tight! The Hummer EV 3X Extended Range delivers mind-bending acceleration, hitting 0-100 km/h in a supercar-rivalling 3.2 seconds. This is thanks to its three-motor AWD system (one PMSM front, two PMSM rear) unleashing a colossal 746 kW and an earth-shattering 15592 Nm of torque. Despite its 4111 kg curb weight, it moves with shocking agility, especially with "Watts To Freedom" (WTF) launch mode. Adaptive air suspension cushions the ride, while CrabWalk four-wheel steering offers unique low-speed manoeuvrability. Regenerative braking is strong, aiding one-pedal driving.

Range, Battery & Charging

The 3X Extended Range packs a massive 205 kWh usable battery, enabling a Green Cars Compare estimated real-world range of 582 km, with an efficiency of 2.84 km/kWh. Its 800V architecture allows for rapid DC charging up to 350 kW (or 150 kW on 400V chargers), potentially adding significant range quickly. Standard AC charging is a hefty 19.2 kW, meaning a full charge takes around 11 hours. The US-spec charge port is CCS Type 1; an EU version would require CCS Type 2. It also boasts Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) capability.

Safety & Driver-Assistance Features

Official Euro NCAP safety ratings for the Hummer EV are unavailable, as it's not officially sold in Europe. However, it’s packed with driver-assistance tech. Standard features on the 3X trim typically include GM's Super Cruise hands-free driving system (on compatible roads), adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, blind-spot monitoring, forward collision alert with automatic emergency braking, and a comprehensive suite of cameras including UltraVision with up to 18 views – absolutely crucial for manoeuvring this beast. These features aim to make piloting this giant a bit less daunting.

Warranty & Maintenance Coverage

If imported to Europe, warranty coverage would likely depend on the specialist importer, as GMC's standard US warranty (typically 3-year/58,000 km basic, 5-year/96,000 km powertrain) wouldn't directly apply. The crucial EV battery warranty in the US is usually 8 years/160,000 km, covering degradation. Maintenance for EVs is generally lower than internal combustion vehicles, focusing on tyres, brakes, and cabin filters. Given its newness and complexity, specialist care would be essential for any Hummer EV operating outside its home market, so factor that into ownership costs.
