2024 GMC HUMMER SUV - 9000 POUND TANK REAL WORLD HIGHWAY COMMUTE

EV Channels Review

The 2024 GMC Hummer SUV, in its 3X trim, is presented as a gargantuan yet surprisingly usable electric vehicle. The reviewer highlights its "unapologetically Hummer" design and impressive performance, particularly the "Watts to Freedom" launch control, which delivers exhilarating acceleration despite the vehicle's immense 9,000-pound weight. Positives include the comfortable ride thanks to the four-corner air suspension, the practicality of the SUV body style over the truck variant (shorter length, fits in a garage), and the advanced Super Cruise driver-assist system. However, the review points out significant drawbacks: the "horribly inefficient" energy consumption (1.4 miles per kWh), the high load floor for the cargo area, and particularly the uncomfortable "wet suit" material used on interior panels, which makes resting elbows difficult. Despite these issues and some interior rattles, the reviewer concludes that the Hummer EV successfully carries on the Hummer philosophy of being large, fast, and expensive, while also being a "pretty decent commuter" that doesn't add to driving stress.
