GMC Hummer EV Price, Specs, and Release Date
The 2022 GMC Hummer EV marks the return of the iconic super truck but this time as a fully electric EV with 1,000 horsepower. In addition, it is the first fully electric vehicle in the GMC lineup. At launch the first model available will be the GMC Hummer EV Edition 1. Let’s go over its price, specs, and release date.
Performance Specs
The 2022 GMC Hummer EV Edition 1 features some crazy specs with a three-motor propulsion system that GM estimates has a best-in-class 1,000 horsepower and 11,500 lb-ft of torque. Using the “Watts to Freedom” launch control system, the giant super truck can achieve a 0-60 mph time of 3.0 seconds. In addition, the propulsion system has a 24-module, double-stacked Ultium battery. 800-volt DC public fast charging compatibility with up to 350 kW allows for nearly 100 miles of range in 10 minutes of charging. GM also estimates the Hummer EV will have a 350+ miles of range on a full charge.
Off-Roading
Included in the price of the 2022 GMC Hummer EV Edition 1 is the Extreme Off-Road Package. It comes with 18-inch wheels and 35-inch-OD Goodyear Wrangler Territory MT tires. It’s specs also include under body armor, rock sliders, underbody cameras, and more. In addition, it has adaptive air suspension with Extract Mode that can raise the Hummer EV by 6 inches. That enables it to navigate extreme off-road conditions such as clearing boulders or fording water. Furthermore, it has a segment-exclusive 4 Wheel Steer with CrabWalk. That allows the front and rear wheels to steer in the same angle at low speeds for even greater maneuverability.
More Standard Options
As we stated the GMC Hummer EV Edition 1 will arrive at the release date with full specs included in the price. For example, it has Drive Mode Control that can change the power delivery depending on the terrain. Continuous adaptive ride control works for both on and off-road driving. The Hummer EV also comes standard with the Infinity Roof and removable transparent Sky Panels that allow for open-air driving. The latest version of Super Cruise features hands-free driving on more than 200,000 miles of enabled roads. Lastly, the interior features a 13.4-inch infotainment screen, a 12.3-inch information display, and a power rear drop glass window.
Price and Release Date
The 2022 GMC Hummer EV Edition 1 price will start at $112,595 with GMC already taking reservations. Initial production will begin late 2021 with an estimated release date of early 2022. In addition, we will learn more on the availability of different model trims closer to the release date.
