Forget traditional engines—the 2025 GMC Hummer EV “powertrain” is three electric motors that team up for a whopping 830 horsepower in the top 3X trim. That’s enough to launch you from 0 to 60 mph in about 3.5 seconds, quicker than most sports cars. The 2X model dials it back to 570 hp, still plenty for hauling or highway merging. Torque? Over 11,000 lb-ft instantly available, so climbing hills or towing feels effortless. It handles like a dream off-road too, with adaptive air suspension that lifts the whole rig 6 inches for rocky trails. I took it over some muddy paths, and it powered through without a sweat. But here’s the real kick: no gears shifting, just smooth, silent dominance. It’s like the Hummer spirit reborn, minus the fuel bill.
Smart Technology: Brains Behind the Brawn
Tech in the 2025 Hummer EV is where it shines brightest. The 13.4-inch touchscreen runs everything from navigation to climate control, with Google built-in for voice commands that actually listen. Want to plan a route with charging stops? It factors in your battery level and finds stations along the way. Safety features are top-notch—cameras and radars watch for blind spots, and adaptive cruise control keeps a safe distance in traffic. The Bose 14-speaker sound system pumps out crystal-clear tunes, perfect for road trips. Oh, and the “CrabWalk” mode? It lets the wheels turn sideways for tight parking—super handy in a city. There’s even over-the-air updates, so your truck gets smarter without a shop visit. It’s not overwhelming; the controls feel intuitive, like they’ve been there all along.
Mileage: Going the Distance, Electric Style
In EV world, “mileage” means range on a single charge. The Hummer EV impresses here, with an EPA-estimated 314 miles per full battery in the SUV version—enough for cross-state hauls without constant stops. The pickup edges it at around 381 miles in the long-wheelbase setup. Real-world? I squeezed about 280 miles on highways, dipping lower in cold weather or off-road mode. Regenerative braking recaptures energy when you slow down, stretching those miles further. Charging takes about 20 minutes for 100 miles on a fast DC station, or overnight at home. It’s not perfect for remote adventures yet, but with more chargers popping up, it’s getting there. Bottom line: this giant sips electrons efficiently for its size.
Price: Luxury Comes at a Premium
Stepping up to the Hummer EV means opening your wallet wide. The base 2X trim starts at $96,550, while the loaded 3X jumps to $104,650. Add options like the Extreme Off-Road Package, and you’re pushing $110,000 easy. Yeah, it’s steep—more than a loaded F-150—but you’re paying for that insane power and tech in a truck that turns heads. Federal EV tax credits can knock off up to $7,500 if you qualify, softening the blow. Resale? Early models hold value well, thanks to the hype. If you’re after a daily driver, look elsewhere; this is for folks who want extreme in every sense.
