2025 GMC Hummer EV SUV Specs, Interior, Dimensions
2025 GMC Hummer EV SUV Specs, Interior, Dimensions – The 2025 GMC Hummer EV SUV Pickup also falls into this category. Sure, the original Hummer EV SUV may have had roots in the Humvee military vehicle, though I highly doubt any armed forces will be crab walking their way into battle any time soon in this revived electric version.
Make no mistake: the new Hummer EV SUV is a toy – a four-tonne, 1,000-hp, gargantuanly unnecessary, mind-bogglingly capable toy. The so-called “super truck” may be electric, but in terms of sheer attitude it cares as much about the environment as a gas-powered sports car. And after experiencing it on- and off-road, I don’t think I’d want it any other way.

Exterior and Interior
The Hummer EV SUV can apparently ford up to 813 mm (32 in) of water, too. Even when it isn’t rock climbing and wading through rivers, though, the new Hummer EV SUV is an uncharacteristically approachable vehicle to drive on paved roads. Sheer size aside, this truck’s easy, light inputs and rear-wheel steering make it a relative cinch to navigate through parking lots and around town.
The ride is fairly comfortable on account of the prodigious ground clearance, while on-ramp acceleration is smooth and quite mighty on account of, y’know, the literal thousand electric hp hiding under your right foot. Highway cruising is similarly fine, but thanks to those off-road tires and the fact that aerodynamics were clearly not very high on engineers’ list of priorities, both road and wind noise are very apparent at speed. I even noticed a disconcertingly loud whistle around the edges of one of the removable roof panels at one point.
While we’re on the subject, the top of this truck consists of four transparent polycarbonate (read: plastic) panels that can be removed for an open-air Jeep Wrangler-like feel. Both the panels themselves and the latches securing them are manageably light, and the panels were designed to fit perfectly inside the frunk. They’re heavily tinted, of course, but sitting in the blazing Arizona sun with the panels attached, I kind of wished there was an additional opaque shade of some sort to keep the cabin cool. The Hummer EV SUV also features a Toyota 4Runner-style opening rear window if you’d like to get even more fresh air.

While comparing the Hummer EV SUV Pickup’s off-road abilities to tracking a Nissan GT-R was more figurative than anything else, there’s one aspect of GMC’s super truck that more literally gives Nissan’s supercar slayer a run for its money: off-the-line acceleration. Put the Hummer EV SUV in the very cheekily – and patriotically – named watts to freedom (WTF) launch control mode (at which point, another Hollywood blockbuster-grade, stars-and-stripes-filled splash screen appears), plant one foot hard on the brake, and mat the accelerator.
The Hummer EV SUV now primes itself and all of its systems for maximum acceleration. The air suspension lowers and vibrating motors underneath the driver’s seat start pulsating to let you know that some serious doo-doo is about to go down. Release the brake when you’re ready, and the electric GMC propels itself from a standstill to 100 km/h in about three seconds.
For reference, that’s Porsche Taycan Turbo S Cross Turismo pace in a gigantic truck that weighs as much as that Taycan and a whole other BMW M3 combined. Ford’s Mustang Mach-E GT Performance Edition does the same run in 3.5 seconds. Circling back to the GT-R analogy, the Nissan GT-R of today will hit the same speed about a half-second quicker than the Hummer EV SUV but race with an early-model R35 Godzilla and the win wouldn’t exactly be guarantee
Engine and Performance
On top of decimating everything else on paper, the Hummer EV SUV also has to look dominant out on the road, and it’s safe to assume the designers have accomplished their mission. Its boxy fenders, chunky off-road tires, and slightly sinister front end with a light bar that reads “Hummer EV SUV” mean it won’t be mistaken for anything else – except for maybe a new, still-in-disguise robot from the next Transformers movie. The interior is similarly rugged, outfitted with solid right angles everywhere, burnt-looking semi-gloss bronze trim, and a unique interface in the screens – 12.3-inch in front of the driver, 13.4-inch infotainment – that not-so-subtly brings to mind images of space exploration.
Like most other Fun Vehicles of Note [That’s an official term, folks. Look it up. – Ed.], the Hummer EV SUV is littered with aesthetic easter eggs. The LED headlight signatures, for example, are shaped like Hs, the speaker grille patterns mimic maps of the Sea of Tranquility, there are little American flags stamped atop the C-pillars, and one of the custom auxiliary switch labels hilariously depicts a Hummer EV SUV driving on top of what appears to be a Tesla Cybertruck. There’s another windshield-related easter egg that should be visible in the photos here. Kudos to those who find it. 2025 GMC Hummer EV SUV Specs
2025 GMC Hummer EV SUV Fuel Economy
With 35-inch all-terrain tires, air suspension with up to 406 mm (16 in) of ground clearance, electric four-wheel drive, and the ability to effectively lock both axles, this new Hummer EV SUV is extremely capable off-road. Hitting the rocky dunes is like running laps around a bone-dry race track in a Nissan GT-R with all of the assists on. It feels like cheating.
Not getting stuck or breaking anything becomes a simple exercise in watching where you step – and with 18 cameras strategically placed all around the outside, including two underneath the truck to make sure obstacles can clear between the tires, that becomes trivial as well. Five skid plates and rock sliders are there for extra insurance when the trail gets a bit more challenging.
Rear-wheel steering of up to 10 degrees not only gives this truck a tinier-than-expected turning circle but, in terrain mode, makes it very nimble off-road. It’s able to snake through curvy sand paths and dodge jagged rocks with great agility, spinning around its own centre like a personal tank. The visibly turning rear wheels also makes it look extremely tank-like from the outside, too, which is a very cool effect. 2025 GMC Hummer EV SUV Specs

On the topic of cool effects, this same rear-steer system can be locked to move in the same direction as the front wheels, letting the Hummer EV SUV move diagonally like a crab. Go figure – GMC calls this feature crab walk, and engaging it (like many other features in this truck) is accompanied by a nifty video game-style animation in the centre screen. (Fun fact: the Hummer EV SUV’s graphical UI was done by the same design house that creates a lot of the tech interface animations and title sequences in Marvel movies, including the credit sequence at the end of Avengers: Endgame.)
Crab walk is, by all measures, remarkably neat and should be good for many roadside oohs, aahs, and Instagram stories the first time you show this truck off to family and friends. And while I found myself transfixed watching a fellow journalist get out of a precarious off-road situation by crab walking, I don’t really see the feature being used more than sparingly. 2025 GMC Hummer EV SUV Specs
2025 GMC Hummer EV SUV Price and Release Date
There’s an auto writing cliche in which an overachieving economy car is described as “all the car anyone needs.” The 2025 GMC Hummer EV SUV Pickup is not that car. In fact, it may just be the complete opposite of that car because – and I will not entertain any objections to this – the Hummer EV SUV is a car nobody needs. 2025 GMC Hummer EV SUV Specs
But that’s sort of what makes it awesome. It looks the absolute business, has the specs and off-road chops to back it up, will thoroughly frighten your passengers turning watts into tire-squealing American freedom, and, believe it or not, is a decently accessible daily driver as well. Do I need one? Hell, no. Do I want one? You bet.
In Canada, the 2025 GMC Hummer EV SUV Pickup Edition 1 will be available this December. Canadian pricing has yet to be announced, but converting from its already-confirmed American price, expect this tri-motor model to cost somewhere in the ballpark of $140,000. Future dual- and tri-motor models, as well as an SUV variant, will become available in subsequent model years, with the base version expected to start at around $100,000.
