Time to beat up on a $120,000 vehicle to see if the 2024 Hummer EV SUV deserves its accolades.
name as a model sold under the GMC brand, it made its debut with a full-size electric pickup truck. Billed as a supertruck thanks to its sheer size, power, and off-road capability, the 8,900-pound behemoth can crawl up a rock face or ford a river yet boasts a crazy launch mode that helps it hit 60 mph in 3.0 seconds.was the truck’s immediate follow-up. GMC lopped 9 inches off the wheelbase, 20 inches off the length, and cut weight by about 100 pounds.
When the going gets tough, it’s time to engage Terrain mode for the traction and extra ground clearance. For most of the day, we only need to bump the height up one level, which is easily done with the push of a button on a dial in the center console. Press twice for the maximum 16 inches of clearance. Activating the one-pedal off-road driving mode is handled via the touchscreen; a more aggressive version is activated automatically in Terrain mode.
The SUV normally steers at a ratio of 0.3:1 of front angle, but that increases to 0.6:1 in Off-Road mode and jumps to 1.2:1 in Terrain mode, so the rear axle is steering faster than the front for maneuverability. At highway speeds, the rear tires switch to turning in tandem with the front wheels to enhance stability.
We only need to engage the rear e-locker a few times on the more technical hurdles of the day. A front e-locker is also available—another tool to make you look like a rock star on the trail—but it proves unnecessary. The SUV is quite comfortable on-road, with well-supported seats and the air suspension contributing to a relaxing ride. Braking is smooth. Use the left paddle on the steering wheel to apply regenerative braking to slow you down. You can set the regen to be higher or lower through the infotainment screen. Acceleration is also smooth—unless you gun it and throw your body back into the seat. With the rear steering, it doesn’t drive like the behemoth it is.
