The return of the Hummer brand has sparked excitement among car enthusiasts and eco-conscious drivers. Although its military-inspired, gas-guzzling vehicles have given the Hummer brand a colorful history, GMC has showcased its commitment to sustainable transportation by transforming this icon into a symbol of the future with the all-electric Hummer EV SUV. This vehicle may be of interest to you if you’re looking to combine luxury, performance, and sustainability in your next vehicle purchase.

Introduction to the Hummer EV SUV

The Hummer EV SUV lineup has two variants: the 2x and 3x. These models offer a blend of luxury, off-road capability, and cutting-edge electric technology that sets them apart in the rapidly growing electric SUV market.

Key Features of the Hummer EV SUV 2x

The Hummer EV 2x is an impressive vehicle that perfectly balances power and efficiency. Standout features are its:

• Powertrain:  Two-motor electric drive system
• Horsepower:  570
• Range: EPA-estimated 311 miles with standard battery
• Charging capabilities: Compatible with DC fast charging

The 2x model also boasts adaptive air suspension, 22-inch wheels, and GMC’s Super Cruise hands-free driving system as standard. Its two-motor setup provides ample power for both highway performance and off-road adventures.

Key Features of the Hummer EV SUV 3x

The Hummer EV 3x brings additional power and features. Highlights are its:

• Powertrain:  Three-motor electric drive system
• Horsepower:  830
• Range: EPA-estimated 314 miles (standard battery) or 381 miles (optional extended-range battery)
• Charging capabilities:  Enhanced DC fast charging

The 3x builds on the 2x with torque vectoring, a more advanced adaptive air suspension system, and the Watts to Freedom launch control mode.

Performance

Regarding the performance of the Hummer EV 2x vs. the 3x, the latter has a clear edge. It can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.3 seconds with the Watts to Freedom mode, significantly quicker than the Hummer EV 2x’s 0-to-60 mph time. However, both variants offer impressive handling, thanks to their low center of gravity and advanced suspension systems.

In range and efficiency, the difference is minimal. The 3x offers slightly more range with its standard battery — 314 miles vs. 311 miles — with the optional extended-range battery pushing it up to 381 miles. The optional extreme off-road package reduces the 3x’s range to 298 miles — 359 miles with the extended-range battery.

The 3x has a combined MPGe rating of 58, slightly lower than some competitors, such as the Ford F-150 Lightning (66 MPGe) and the Rivian R1T (68 MPGe). While the Hummer EV SUV prioritizes performance and capability, it may not be the most efficient option in its class.

Pricing

The price difference between the 2x and 3x models is significant, with the 3x commanding an $8,100 premium over its less powerful sibling. The Hummer EV SUV 2x starts at $96,550; the lowest price of the 3x is $104,650.

When considering each model’s value proposition, weighing the additional features and performance of the 3x against its higher price tag is important. The extra power and advanced features may justify the 3x’s cost but not if the 2x better suits your needs.

Interior Features

Both the 2x and 3x models offer luxurious, tech-filled interiors. They share many features, including:

• Seating for five passengers
• A large 13.4-inch infotainment touch screen
• A 12.3-inch digital driver display
• A premium audio system

Although the 2x lacks some of the 3x’s premium features, such as enhanced interior lighting and more advanced climate control options, it offers a similar overall interior experience. The cargo volumes are the same for each version: 35.9 cubic feet behind the second-row seats and 81.8 cubic feet with these folded.

Towing and Payload Capacities

Surprisingly, the 2x model has the higher towing capacity: 12,000 pounds against the 3x’s 7,500-8,500 pounds. This difference is likely due to the additional weight of the 3x’s third motor and other performance components. The extreme off-road package limits both variants’ towing capacities to 7,500 pounds. The 2x also has a slight advantage in payload capacity: 1,485 pounds against the 3x’s 1,300 pounds.

Exterior Design and Features

Visually, the 2x and 3x models are nearly identical. Both feature the distinctive Hummer design language, including:

• A bold, upright stance
• Unique H-shaped headlights
• Available removable roof panels
• 22-inch wheels (standard)

The main exterior differences lie in each model’s badging and wheel designs. Both versions are available in a range of eye-catching colors, allowing you to personalize your Hummer EV SUV.

Technology and Driver-Assistance Features

The 2x and 3x boast advanced technology and driver-assistance features. Standard on both models are:

• The Super Cruise hands-free driving system
• An HD surround vision camera system
• Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
• Over-the-air update capability

Off-Road Capabilities

GMC has designed the 2x and 3x models with serious off-road capability in mind. Standard features for both include:

• Adaptive air suspension
• Four-wheel steering with the CrabWalk function
• Underbody armor and rock sliders

The 3x model, with its additional motor, offers enhanced off-road performance through improved torque vectoring. However, both models provide the extreme off-road package as an option. It features 18-inch wheels with 35-inch mud-terrain tires, additional underbody protection, and front and rear locking differentials.

Charging Infrastructure and Times

Both the 2x and 3x models are compatible with DC fast charging, allowing quick top-up times. A 350-kilowatt DC fast charger adds up to 100 miles of range in just 10 minutes. There’s an available 19.2-kilowatt AC module for home charging, which can add up to 16 miles of range per hour. The charging experience will be largely the same for both models, the main difference being the 3x’s slightly larger battery capacity with the extended-range option.
