Video Summary
- The GMC Hummer EV SUV is being reviewed based on how well it fits its intended purpose.- It's a 2025 model in the 3X trim.
- At 93.7 inches wide, it requires clearance lamps by law.
- It's a massive vehicle, and very heavy, nearing 9,000 pounds. This is evident when driving: accelerating, braking, and rolling through corners.
- With a weight this large, the Hummer is better suited for pulling others out of ditches, rather than being pulled out itself.
- The trimotor 3X version is painted Tide Metallic.
- Interior features of the cabin are reviewed: Lunar Horizon upholstery, contrasting black/gray upholstery, and copper accents.
- With its wide dimensions, it doesn't feel as wide while seated in the driver’s seat.
- Front and rear seats are spacious, and have heated and ventilated capabilities. All four roof panels can be removed to get an open-air feeling.
- The front trunk is 11.3 cubic feet.
- The rear cargo hold measures 35.9 cubic feet; 81.8 cubic feet with the rear seats folded down.
- The cargo capacity is less than a Ford Explorer, due to the large battery.
- It has 7,500 Lbs. towing capacity.
- There's good sound insulation in the cabin due to the fact that it is an electric vehicle.
- A 14-speaker Bose system provides a nice cabin stereo.
- The as-tested price is north of $117,000. The 2X trim starts almost at $99,000.
- Despite being a niche vehicle, GM sells about 1,500 Hummers every month. It's a halo vehicle that shows what the company's Ultium platform can be used for, and what GM is capable of.
- It's unclear if this is necessarily what they *should- do.
- It's stupendously powerful, to the point where it can "scare your passengers half to death" with the "Watts To Freedom" feature.
- The power means the SUV requires a "gargantuan battery."
- The SUV contains a 170 kWh battery, but because of the drain, the range is approximately 289 miles of driving.
