2022 GMC HUMMER EV - UNVEILING OPINIONS

EV Channels Review

The 2022 GMC Hummer EV is unveiled as a highly anticipated, albeit simulated, electric super truck. The reviewer expresses excitement about the vehicle's return, highlighting its impressive specs, including over 1,000 horsepower and 11,500 lb-ft of torque, and its potential for extreme off-road capability with features like torque vectoring and a tri-motor setup. The "Watts to Freedom" mode enabling a 0-60 mph time of 3 seconds is a notable highlight. However, concerns are raised regarding the steep pricing, starting at nearly $80,000 and reaching over $112,000 for the First Edition, especially since federal tax credits are not applicable. The staggered production timeline, with lower trims not arriving until 2022 and 2023, is also a point of disappointment, potentially allowing competitors to gain ground. Despite these drawbacks, the exterior design is praised for honoring the Hummer legacy with a modern, electric twist, particularly the unique light signature. The interior, while well-designed with an astronomy theme and removable roof panels, is noted for its large bezels around the infotainment screen. Overall, the Hummer EV is seen as an engineering marvel, but its high cost and delayed availability temper the enthusiasm.
