The 2026 GMC Hummer EV remains the most outrageous electric vehicle on sale — a 4,000+ kg leviathan that comes as both a four-door Pickup and a slightly shorter SUV, in dual-motor 2X and tri-motor 3X forms. For 2026 the headline is power: the Pickup 3X now produces up to 1,160 hp with the largest battery, launching to 60 mph in the high-2-second range via the theatrical "Watts to Freedom" mode. Add four-wheel steering with CrabWalk, a removable Infinity Roof, up to 584 km (363 miles) of GM-estimated range and hands-free Super Cruise, and the Hummer EV is less a truck than a rolling tech flagship. Prices start at $97,200 for the 2X and climb past $104,700 for the 3X.
Performance & Specs
The Hummer EV's party trick is brute force. The dual-motor 2X versions make around 570 hp, while the tri-motor 3X jumps to 1,000 hp as standard and up to 1,160 hp when fitted with the larger 24-module battery (the SUV 3X quotes up to 830 hp, rising to 1,160 hp in Watts to Freedom). GMC also advertises eye-watering torque figures — up to 13,000 lb-ft — though it's important to note these are GM's at-the-wheel numbers, not conventional crank torque. The Pickup 3X hits 0–60 mph in about 3.0 seconds (around 2.8 s for the limited Carbon Fiber Edition), while the 2X manages roughly 4.4 seconds. Top speed is governed to about 171 km/h (106 mph). Every Hummer EV is all-wheel drive thanks to GM's Ultium motors, and rides on adaptive air suspension with an Extract Mode that raises the body around 150 mm for deep obstacles.

Dimensions & Practicality
| Length (Pickup) | 5,507 mm |
|---|---|
| Width | 2,202 mm |
| Height | 2,009 mm |
| Wheelbase (Pickup) | 3,444 mm |
| Wheelbase (SUV) | 3,218 mm |
These are huge vehicles. The Pickup measures 5,507 mm long on a 3,444 mm wheelbase and weighs around 4,080–4,370 kg depending on battery, while the SUV is roughly half a metre shorter at 4,999 mm with a 3,218 mm wheelbase — the same character in a more manageable footprint. Both feature a sizeable front trunk of around 320 litres (11.3 cu-ft); the SUV adds about 1,016 litres of cargo behind the second row, expanding to roughly 2,316 litres with the seats folded. The Pickup 2X tows up to 12,100 lb (about 5,490 kg) and carries a payload near 1,485 lb. As is the Hummer way, practicality is a side effect of sheer size rather than clever packaging.

Charging & Battery
The Hummer EV uses one of the industry's most sophisticated battery setups: a large Ultium pack that runs at 400V for driving but reconfigures to 800V for charging. The standard 20-module pack holds roughly 170 kWh, while the 24-module battery in top trims is 246.8 kWh gross (212.7 kWh usable) — one of the biggest packs in any production vehicle. Peak DC fast-charging is rated at up to 350 kW (real-world tests peak nearer 300 kW), enough to add about 100 miles in 10 minutes. The onboard AC charger is a robust 19.2 kW. One important note for 2026: the Hummer EV still uses a native CCS port rather than the Tesla-style NACS connector — GMC sells a NACS adapter for Supercharger access instead.
| BATTERY | ~170 kWh / 246.8 kWh (212.7 usable) |
|---|---|
| ARCHITECTURE | 800V (charging) Ultium |
| AC CHARGING | 19.2 kW |
| DC FAST CHARGING | up to 350 kW (CCS + NACS adapter) |
Design & Interior
Nothing else looks like a Hummer EV. The slab-sided body wears a backlit HUMMER light bar across the nose, exposed tow hooks, enormous 35-inch off-road tyres and squared-off wheel arches, available in both the wide-bed Pickup and the boxier SUV. The removable Infinity Roof panels lend an open-air, almost Jeep-like flavour to a 4-tonne machine. Inside, the cabin is a mix of rugged and high-tech: a flat-bottomed steering wheel, lunar-inspired graphics, and two big displays. The 3X Carbon Fiber Edition — a limited 2026 run that has already sold out — adds Magnus Gray Matte paint, carbon-fibre trim and a Velocity Ember interior. New exterior colours for 2026 include Coastal Dune and Auburn Matte.
Technology & Features
The Hummer EV runs GM's Ultium software with Google Built-In (Maps, Assistant and Play Store), displayed across a 13.4-inch central touchscreen and a 12.3-inch driver cluster with Unreal Engine graphics. The UltraVision camera system offers up to 17 views from as many as 18 cameras, including underbody views for picking a line over rocks. Super Cruise enables hands-free highway driving on more than 400,000 miles of mapped roads, and the truck's bidirectional V2H capability can power a home during an outage with the right GM Energy hardware.
Safety & ADAS
Beyond Super Cruise, the Hummer EV carries GM's suite of driver aids including automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping, blind-spot monitoring and a comprehensive camera array. The sheer mass demands respect, but the four-wheel steering and low-mounted battery aid stability and low-speed manoeuvrability in a vehicle this large.
| ADAS LEVEL | L2+ hands-free (Super Cruise) |

| ADAS FEATURES | Super Cruise, AEB, lane-keep, blind-spot, UltraVision 360° cameras |

Pricing & Availability
The 2026 GMC Hummer EV is on sale now in the US, with both the Pickup and SUV starting at about $97,200 for the 2X and from roughly $104,700 for the 3X (before destination). The limited 3X Carbon Fiber Edition sits above that and has already sold out. Pricing crept up slightly during the model year, and final EPA range figures may differ from GM's estimates, so it's worth confirming exact numbers when ordering.
How It Compares
The Hummer EV plays the spectacle card harder than anyone. The Tesla Cybertruck is far cheaper and more efficient but can't match the Hummer's power, presence or removable roof. Rivian's R1T and R1S are more polished and go further per charge, while GM's own Silverado EV actually beats the Hummer on range and price — but neither has CrabWalk, 1,160 hp or the sheer theatre. The Hummer EV isn't the sensible choice; it's the maximalist one, and for that it has no real rival.
- Up to 1,160 hp and sub-3-second 0-60 in a full-size truck
- CrabWalk, Extract Mode and serious off-road hardware
- Huge 246.8 kWh battery and fast 800V charging
- Removable Infinity Roof and hands-free Super Cruise
- Enormous weight (4,000+ kg) hurts efficiency
- Still uses CCS, not native NACS, for 2026
- Expensive, and rivals like the Silverado EV go further
The 2026 GMC Hummer EV is gloriously excessive — a 4-tonne, 1,160 hp electric monument to "because we can." It's not efficient and it's not cheap, and GM's own Silverado EV is the smarter buy if you simply want a long-range electric truck. But nothing else offers this combination of power, CrabWalk party tricks, a removable roof and genuine off-road ability. If you want the most attention-grabbing EV on the road and have the budget for it, the Hummer EV — Pickup or SUV — delivers like nothing else. Just don't expect the range numbers to survive a heavy right foot.
