WHAT'S IT LIKE DRIVING THE 2025 GMC HUMMER EV SUV AT NIGHT?

EV Channels Review

The 2025 GMC Hummer EV SUV, specifically the "3X" tri-motor variant, is presented as a "super-sized" and "American excessiveness" vehicle. The reviewer highlights its immense size and weight (over 8600 lbs) as a primary characteristic, making parking and maneuvering challenging, though the four-wheel steering is praised for mitigating this. Performance is exceptional, with a 0-60 mph time of 3.66 seconds achieved in "Watts to Freedom" mode, showcasing its 830 horsepower and 12,200 lb-ft of torque. However, the driving experience is significantly marred by what the reviewer calls "annoying" and "obnoxious" synthetic noises, particularly the pedestrian warning sounds, which are described as intrusive and inescapable below 23 mph. While the one-pedal driving is lauded as excellent, the ride quality is deemed truck-focused and less refined than competitors like the Land Cruiser. The reviewer also criticizes the compromised mirrors for their limited adjustability and range, and notes significant wind noise above 60 mph due to the lack of acoustic glass. Ultimately, despite its impressive power and unique features like removable roof panels, the reviewer finds the Hummer EV SUV to be too compromised and not to their personal taste, deeming it neither the best nor the worst EV of 2025, but rather a vehicle that doesn't justify its $112,000 price tag for them.
