THE HUMMER EV SUV | A BACON-FLAVORED VEGGIE

EV Channels Review

The 2024 GMC Hummer EV SUV, specifically the Edition 1 trim, is a polarizing vehicle that GM aims to use as an EV gateway. While it boasts impressive acceleration (0-60 mph in 3.5 seconds) and remarkable maneuverability thanks to its 10-degree rear steer and advanced technology, it falls short in key areas. The reviewer highlights significant braking issues, with a stopping distance comparable to a heavy-duty truck, and a surprisingly unrefined interior for its price point, feeling more like a Wrangler than a luxury SUV. Range is also a concern, with an estimated 300 miles falling short of competitors like the Rivian. Despite its colossal size, the Hummer EV SUV handles surprisingly well, but its width and off-road tires compromise on-road grip. The reviewer notes loud wind and tire noise at highway speeds and a subpar audio system. Ultimately, while the Hummer EV SUV is a technological marvel and a strong statement piece, its practicality and refinement are questionable, especially when compared to more upscale and efficient rivals.
