I NO LONGER HATE DRIVING THE HUMMER EV. HERE'S WHY

EV Channels Review

The reviewer revisits the GMC Hummer EV SUV, having previously despised it, and finds their opinion has significantly softened. While acknowledging the vehicle's immense size, polarizing aesthetics, and the persistent, annoying artificial pedestrian warning noises (especially at low speeds or when listening to podcasts), the reviewer no longer hates driving it. Key improvements in their perception are attributed to the excellent one-pedal driving, surprisingly comfortable ride quality aided by the air-ride suspension and large tires, and the incredibly capable four-wheel steering which allows the massive SUV to maneuver with surprising agility. The reviewer highlights the unique extraction mode for ground clearance and the overall technological showcase as redeeming factors. However, significant drawbacks remain, including poor visibility, a claustrophobic cabin feel due to its width, lack of Android Auto/Apple CarPlay, and the high cost of ownership and potential repair expenses. Ultimately, while not a personal fit, the reviewer concedes the Hummer EV is a compelling option for those who embrace its over-the-top nature and unique capabilities, moving it from a 'pay me to drive' status to a 'fire sale only' recommendation due to heavy depreciation.
