WE DROVE THE HUMMER SUV EV FOR A WEEK. WE HAVE FEELINGS

EV Channels Review

The GMC Hummer EV SUV 3X is reviewed as an exercise in excess, prioritizing style over substance. While acknowledging its off-road capabilities and impressive fast-charging speeds (up to 290 kW), the reviewers find its practicality severely lacking. Key criticisms include abysmal energy efficiency, with the vehicle consuming 10 kW just to remain stationary and averaging significantly worse mileage than expected. Ride comfort is surprisingly harsh, cabin noise is excessive, and the interior materials, particularly the removable roof panels, do not feel commensurate with the vehicle's high price point. Visibility is poor, and the steering is described as disconnected and lacking road feel. Despite advanced features like Super Cruise and Crab Mode, the overall impression is that the Hummer EV SUV is a technologically complex, inefficient, and uncomfortable vehicle that fails to justify its cost, appealing more to image than genuine utility. Alternatives like the Rivian R1S, Silverado EV, and F-150 Lightning are suggested as more sensible choices for off-roading, work, or general practicality.
