However, with the new 2024 GMC Hummer EV SUV and Pickup variants, Hummer owners can now take pride in their zero-emission vehicles while passing by traditional gas-guzzling hybrids.

Although it doesn’t have a traditional combustion engine, the new EV Pickup still maintains the bold, imposing, and excessive characteristics that make a Hummer a Hummer. Additionally, it is quite an amusing vehicle to drive.

Fascinating Exterior Design

The new 2024 GMC Hummer EV brings back the classic and recognizable design that made the H2 and H3 models iconic. The front fascia features the traditional slotted design. However, it has been updated with a modern touch, a connected light bar that creates a one-of-a-kind front profile.

The exterior styling is further enhanced by classic Hummer design elements such as robust tow hooks, black accents, and American flag trim, making it a true representation of the Hummer legacy. The Edition 1 EV Pickups are only available in white.

However, buyers can choose to add a touch of personality with red, black, or bronze accenting and matching bronze wheels. The vehicle is massive, measuring 216.8 inches long with a 135.6-inch wheelbase and 93.7 inches wide. However, the four-wheel-steering system allows it to have a small turning radius of 37.1 inches.

The off-road capabilities are impressive, with an air suspension that offers an Extract Mode with up to 15.9 inches of ground clearance and approach, departure, and break-over angles of 49.7, 38.4, and 32.2 inches, respectively, and the ability to ford up to 32 inches of water.

Performance

The 2024 GMC Hummer EV will be available in two different motor configurations, each with three different power outputs. The base model, the Hummer EV EV2, will have two electric motors that produce 625 horsepower and 7,400 lb-ft of torque at the wheels, with a range of 250 miles.

The EV2x model will have the same power output but a longer range of over 300 miles. These models will not be available until Spring 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Edition 1, however, will have a tri-motor setup that produces 1,000 horsepower and 1,200 lb-ft of torque.

This model has a launch control mode called Watts To Freedom, which allows it to go from 0 to 60 mph in just 3 seconds. This model also has a towing capacity of 7,500 pounds.

Driving experience

The Hummer offers a ride that is similar to a truck; however, the air suspension and positioning of the battery make it less inclined to lean while taking corners in comparison to any gas-powered pickup truck that has been driven.

Despite its size, the vehicle is extremely agile thanks to its four-wheel steering feature. The rear wheels can rotate up to 10 degrees, allowing the Hummer to navigate tight turns with ease.

This feature is particularly useful when changing lanes, as minimal steering input is required. It can take some time to get used to this sensation, but it never feels uncomfortable. The exceptional power output also plays a role in making the Hummer feel more manageable. With 1,000 horsepower available, the truck accelerates with ease, even at high speeds.

Efficiency

The GMC Hummer EV boasts an impressive range of 329 miles, thanks to its massive Ultium battery pack that includes 205 kWh of usable capacity. This is double the amount found in most other electric vehicles.

Despite its impressive range, the Hummer’s 9,063-pound weight makes it less efficient, with a combined rating of 47 MPGe. Charging the Hummer also takes a significant amount of time, with a 350 kW peak charging speed that still takes 45 minutes to go from 20 to 80 percent charge and 16.5 hours on a level 2 charger at home. It’s not recommended to charge the Hummer using a 110-volt outlet.

Interior

The GMC Hummer EV, particularly in its upper echelon trim levels, comes with a price tag that is quite substantial. As such, one would expect a level of opulence and refinement in its interior design.

While it certainly stands out compared to other GMC trucks, such as the Sierra 1500 Denali, the overall ambiance of the cabin may not fully justify the cost. The Edition 1 model features a black and white color scheme that may not be the easiest to maintain clean.

However, the Hummer has a unique feature that sets it apart from the competition, the ability to remove the transparent sky panels and sliding rear window to create an open-air driving experience, reminiscent of that found in a Jeep Wrangler or Ford Bronco.

These panels can be conveniently stored in a specially designed compartment located in the front trunk.

Storage

The 2024 GMC Hummer EV may not have the largest cargo bed in the market, but its five-foot area is more than enough to pack all the necessary gear for a weekend camping trip.

This beast comes with a roll-up tonneau cover as a standard, but for those who want more protection, an upgrade to a power-retractable hardcover is available for an additional $1,200.To make the bed even more versatile, GMC has added the Multi-Pro tailgate which offers various configurations such as a portable workstation, bed stop, and a built-in Kicker audio system with Bluetooth capabilities.

And if the bed isn’t enough, the front trunk, or “frunk,” provides ample storage space since there’s no engine taking up room. Furthermore, the powered eTrunk is massive, providing enough space to store all four roof panels with ease.

Verdict

Despite its electric power source, this vehicle still embodies the rugged and commanding presence of a traditional Hummer. Its bold styling and impressive off-road capabilities are matched by its ability to accelerate with the speed of a supercar. However, its high consumption of electricity is a reminder that it still maintains the power and performance of its gasoline-powered predecessors.

The Hummer H3 had been produced for five years and benefited from generous dimensions such as a length of 4,7 meters and a width of 1,8 meters.

General Motors offered a four-speed Hydra-Matic automatic transmission but also a five-speed manual gearbox along with advanced safety systems which made NHTS give the model a good overall score.

If the Hummer H3 started 2005 with total sales of 33,140 and improved the figures next year with 54,052, the new following period proved to be unfavorable.

Year 2009 brought Hummer sales of just 7,523 units, more than 2,000 models representing the H3T model manufactured between 2009 and 2010. On May 24, the last Hummer H3 rolled off the assembly line at the Shreveport plant.

In terms of dimensions, the American model is 4,6 meters long, 2,1 meters wide and almost 2 meters tall. It comes with several engine choices ranging from a 5.7-liter Vortec V8 to a more powerful 6.6-liter turbo V8, units coupled to a three, four, five or six-speed automatic transmissions.

The H1 was initially known as Hummer HMC4 and was described as a civilian off-road model based on the M998 Humvee. Few years later, namely in 2006, the company introduced the H1 Alpha, a redesigned version of the outgoing model equipped with a Duramax Diesel engine from GM and a five-speed automatic transmission.

If the price tag of the American model in 1992 was somewhere around $40,000 for the entry-level model, the price climbed up to more than $130,000 for the same vehicle 14 years later, in 2006.

Plenty of things can be hated about the Hummer H2 and for good reason, but then there’s plenty of stuff to like about the behemoth one can end up liking. To begin with, as bad as the fuel economy levels are in the H2, they are still better than the enormous military spec diesel H1.

Then there’s the considerably narrower body which makes the H2 a lot easier to live with in traffic and then we come to the Hummer H2 and its party piece. It was one of the most comfortable cars out there and it even came with a decent amount of equipment as standard.

The two biggest ever improvements the H2 provided however were the considerably quieter interior and the fact that it was designed to carry six people instead of the just four of the H1.

What students Adam Eckstrom and Lauren Was did was create a Hummer H3 made of… lotto tickets. The two students picked up some $39,000 worth of lotto tickets and painstakingly put together the model. This is their biggest achievement yet, but they have done even smaller scale things, like palm trees.

Many messages could be received from their actions, but we think that the most important is that people shouldn’t tend to hope for something to come to them, like Lady Luck. Just imagine what someone could have done with $39,000 instead of buying lotto tickets over and over again. It wouldn’t compare with the jackpot, but it would still be cash in the pocket.

You may recall that GM actually closed down the plant before but resumed activities in order to complete a special order of 849 Hummer H3’s.

The last production moment for the Hummer brand was recorded yesterday, Monday May 24, 2010 in Shreveport, Louisiana as one last Hummer H3 rolled of the line and headed for delivery over at Avis.

Avis is a rental car outlet that placed the final order that prolonged Hummer’s life. Before this order came in GM had actually stopped assembling H3s around the middle of last year as it went through bankruptcy.

General Motors actually tried to sell the Hummer brand off but the deal with Sichuan Tengzhong Heavy Industrial Machines Co. Ltd. actually went sour back in February. Other attempts to find a new owner for Hummer also failed with a subsequent offer from Raser Technologies.

Since there seems to be no hope for the brand and production has ended 200 of the 900 employees over at Shreveport will lose their jobs by July and the rest of the staff over in Detroit is either leaving or will be reassigned.

Japanese tuner Calwing’s US division entitled 213 Motoring has set up a great treat in terms of doing up your H2 in the form of six wheels and a lot of stuff everybody going to prom or on a hen night may need from a form of transportation.

The Hummer H2, which is not exactly a small car in the first place has seen some extra length ready to accommodate the extra axle underneath and all of the custom stuff needed to turn a car into a proper limousine. What you see on the interior now is leather, plush carpeting, big TV screens, a cracking stereo system and, of course, a drinks cabinet.

Don’t worry though, in case you’re thinking the car might fall into being discrete there is also a body kit fitted to it. And a new exhaust so that everybody can hear the metropolitan tank coming. Should they not there is a massive array of lights on the front bumper destined to blind the person.

Whoever said bling is dying needs to see this edition of the Hummer H2 entitled he Ultimate Six.

Hopefully you will not get the chance to read a mail from your car maker inviting you for a cup of coffee while they are fixing something in your car that may have caused serious injury or death.

According to General Motors the Hummer brand is undergoing a voluntary recall on the H3 and H3T models. The vehicles in focus are all cars of this make and model built since 2006 and what troubles them is that a portion of the hood that can detach during driving.

Comforting isn’t it? Well at least when compared to the problems of airbags not deploying or throttle jams this is quite a relief. According to Hummer spokesman Nick Richards the portion that is prone to this problem is called the hood louver and  it’s what the company calls a decorative homage to the old Hummer models.

The recall is one of the last blows to the Hummer name as GM’s plans to close it down after failing to sell it. The number of calls recalled in the US reaches 164,190 and there is an extra 198,404 H3’s coming in worldwide.

The recall took place after the services received a couple of complaints on the problem from the US and another three from Japan.

The initiative of this Hummer saving summit belongs to CLIC (Capital & Labor International Coalition) which is a newly formed capital management company, joined together to do their best to salvage the Hummer brand.

The meeting will be held on April 11, 2010 in Chicago, Illinois and features an impressive guest list: all of Hummer’s shareholders, dealers and even Jim Taylor (CEO Hummer). Some extra help in order to reach the government will be provided by Senator Roland Burris. To be more precise on the location of this event: the “Save Hummer Motors in America” summit will be held in the Hall of Fame Room at Coach Mike Ditka’s Restaurant at noon and will be followed by a press conference around 4:30 pm.

We wish them our best as the positive feedback they got from owners and analysts on Hummer’s financial situation along with a liaison to the Government may help all those people employed and everybody that wants a Hummer with a chance at getting one.

When you look at the pictures just one thought is crossing through your mind, this Hummer H2 Bomber developed by the tuning house GeigerCars is the perfect off-road car. This car goes everywhere and passes above anything thanks to those tracks. Those from GeigerCars had just one objective in mind, they wanted to transform the well known Hummer H2 in the supreme off-road car, and they did.

As you already noticed they replaced those four wheels with track systems made of rubber, so the grip is perfect being able to handle rough situations. Each track is measuring 150 cm length and 40 cm width, so theoretically there is no obstacle for this traction system.

To handle any situation this Hummer H2 Bomber comes equipped with a huge V8 engine at 6.2 liter capacity being able to develop 398 horsepower and a torque of 574 Nm. To make the things even more interesting, GeigerCars equipped the car with a GPL alimentation system and the capacity of the gas tank is no less than 155 liter. GeigerCars made an impressive job with this so called Hummer H2 Bomber.
