Following this weekend’s debut, GMC has released new pictures and details about the 2024 Hummer EV SUV.
Jumping right into the numbers, the SUV measures 196.8 inches (4999 mm) long and has a wheelbase that spans 126.7 inches (3218 mm). This means the Hummer is slightly longer than the Acadia, but has a generous wheelbase that slots in between the Yukon and Yukon XL.
It’s also worth noting the SUV is smaller than the pickup as its 20 inches (508 mm) shorter and has 8.9 inches (226 mm) less between the wheels. GMC was quick to point out this makes the SUV more maneuverable than the truck and added its 35.4 foot (10.8 meter) turning circle is tighter than the Ford Mustang Mach-E, thanks to its available 4 Wheel Steer system.

Sticking with the specs, the model promises to be an off-road beast as it has short overhangs and a maximum ground clearance of 16.0 inches (406 mm). Furthermore, the SUV has approach, departure and breakover angles of 49.6°, 49.0° and 34.4°, respectively. The model also has 13 inches (330 mm) of suspension travel and a max water fording depth of 32 inches (813 mm).
The SUV will also be offered with CrabWalk and Extract Mode. The former allows the Hummer to drive diagonally, while the latter raises the vehicle approximately 6 inches (152 mm) to cope with extreme terrain.
Sticking with the off-roading theme, the myGMC app will feature a new off-road trail mapping function aimed at Hummer owners. Besides helping drivers navigate off the beaten path, the trail maps place a heavy emphasis on range and nearby charging stations as there’s nothing worse than running out of juice in the middle of nowhere. Routes and plans can be downloaded from the app onto a driver’s phone, and then projected onto the 13.4-inch infotainment system.
Furthermore, the SUV will be offered with an available Power Station function. It effectively turns the Hummer into a giant battery, which can supply up to 3 kW of power to equipment such as lights and TVs to make your next camping trip a bit more enjoyable. The Power Station can also be used to charge other electric vehicles, such as Hummers that run out of juice on a trail.
One-pedal driving is popular with EVs owners and GMC is utilizing it for off-road applications as drivers can simply use the accelerator to travel slowly through rough terrain. The model also has a Terrain Mode, which “uniquely integrates the brake system with one-pedal driving, giving the driver precise control while off-roading and rock crawling.”
The truck and SUV were designed alongside one another and share a number of styling similarities. However, the rear is unique to the SUV and has a power swing-out tailgate with a rear-mounted spare tire. The tailgate “opens like a vault” and provides an expansive 48 inch (1219 mm) opening to make loading and unloading cargo a breeze.
Speaking of cargo, buyers will find up to 81.8 cubic feet (2316 liters) of luggage space when the rear seats are folded down. The model also has additional storage space hidden beneath the load floor as well as extra room in the frunk.
Getting back to the design, the Edition 1 will be offered with an exclusive Moonshot Green color, which is GMC’s first matte paint job. Seven other colors will be available, including a number of eye-catching hues such as blue and orange.
Most versions of the SUV will have a double-stacked, 20-module Ultium battery that provides more than 300 miles (483 km) of range. GMC didn’t go into many specifics, but noted higher-end variants feature 800V technology and a DC fast charging capability of up to 300 kW. This will allow owners to get approximately 100 miles (161 km) of range in as little as 10 minutes.
GMC is currently accepting reservations for the 2024 Hummer EV SUV, but all of the Edition 1s have been spoken for. It’s slated to arrive in early 2023 with a base price of $105,595.
While you’ve missed out on your chance to buy the limited edition, 2X and 3X variants will arrive in the spring of 2023 and cost $89,995 and $99,995. They’ll be followed by an entry-level 2 variant in the spring of 2024, which will carry a base price of $79,995.
