The 2024 GMC Hummer SUV is convincing people to go EV.
The 2024 Hummer EV SUV Edition 1 is so many different things. A status symbol. A lab experiment for genuinely impressive technology that will trickle down through the GM product lineup for years to come. A king ofthat rules with an electrified fist. An eco-friendly vitamin stuffed into a 4.5-ton pork chop with a bag of tricks that will impress members of both the off-road and gated communities. A Model X inside a body built on the Liver King’s nine ancestral tenets of steroid use.
It doesn’t matter. Select launch mode and the air suspension lowers it so much that the camber visibly changes as if you had strung a hammock between two corn stalks. Stand on the brake and throttle, lift your left foot, and in 3.5 seconds you reach 60 mph. The test track GM had arranged was a small two-lane road connecting two parking lots, so we couldn’t explore the performance much beyond 65.
Should you choose to drive your Hummer into the dirt you will have a lot of things to help you get back out. My tester has the optional $5000 Extreme Off-Road package, which comes with 18-inch wheels, 35-inch Mud-Terrain tires, an e-Locker differential up front, Rear Virtual locker , skid plates, and rock sliders. It has 13 inches of suspension travel but if you find yourself high-centered, Extract Mode gives you an additional three inches.
By many measurements the Hummer is conspicuous consumption defined. No one needs a 4.5-ton truck that can chase a GT-R down a drag strip. Its width requires the on-board cameras to safely navigate a drive-thru, and the battery is 10 times the size of the pack in a Wrangler 4XE, which will happily ferry you around town in silence and then take you as far into the unknown as gas stations and jerry cans allow.That’s all true. But one number pauses my eye roll: 70.
