2025 GMC HUMMER EV 3X SUV IS THIS THE SUCCESSOR TO THE K5 BLAZER

EV Channels Review

The 2025 GMC Hummer EV 3X SUV is presented as a modern spiritual successor to the K5 Blazer, emphasizing its immense size, technological integration, and off-road prowess. The reviewer highlights its impressive acceleration, achieving 0-60 mph in approximately 3.5 seconds despite its 9,000-pound weight, thanks to its three electric motors producing over 800 horsepower. Key features praised include the comfortable on-road ride, superior to competitors like the Bronco and Wrangler due to its four-wheel independent suspension and adaptive air ride system, which offers up to 16 inches of ground clearance. The removable roof panels and Crab Walk feature are also noted as significant positives. However, the review points out considerable drawbacks, primarily concerning visibility issues due to the vehicle's large size and design, particularly the flat side mirrors creating large blind spots. The infotainment system's slow response time for drive mode selection and the placement of the speed limit indicator behind the steering wheel are also criticized. Despite these shortcomings, the reviewer confirms the advertised range of over 300 miles is accurate, with real-world efficiency around 1.5 miles per kWh. While acknowledging its off-road capabilities, the reviewer suggests the extreme off-road package might be more suitable for serious trail use, but for on-road use, this 'look at me' vehicle excels with its blend of comfort, technology, and distinctive presence.
