DITCHING MY RIVIAN FOR THE HUMMER EV!

EV Channels Review

The reviewer pits the 2025 GMC Hummer EV 3X against the 2023 Rivian R1T Dual Motor Performance, highlighting key differences in performance, features, and driving experience. The Hummer EV, despite its extreme inefficiency and 10,000 lb weight, is lauded for its "insane" 1,000 horsepower, convertible top, crab walk feature, and overall "soulful" driving experience, making it feel like an exotic car. The reviewer particularly enjoyed its aggressive sound, commanding view, and the "BlueCruise" driver-assist system. However, the Hummer's infotainment system is noted as less intuitive than the Rivian's, and wind noise is a significant drawback. The Rivian R1T, while weighing a considerable 7,000 lbs, is praised for its "nimble" and "smooth" ride, advanced software updates, and the highly practical "gear tunnel." Its "Driver+" system is preferred for its ease of engagement, though it lacks the lane-changing capability of the Hummer's BlueCruise. Ultimately, the reviewer finds the Hummer EV more "exciting" and "fun" to drive, while the Rivian is deemed "easier" and more "intuitive," recommending both be test-driven before a significant purchase.
