edmunds TESTED

The 2023 Hummer EV pickup is larger than life, and heavier too. It's highly capable off-road and yet quicker than a Corvette Stingray to 60 mph. It also delivers some impressive range (390 miles in Edmunds' real-world testing) and a fair amount of regular truck capability. If you like living at the extremes and can stomach the sticker price, the Hummer EV pickup may appeal to you.

Now entering its second year of production, the Hummer EV continues to astound with its estimated 1,000 horsepower. It's a strange twist of fate that the Hummer name would be attached to fully electric vehicles, almost as if Austin Powers returned as a series of horror movies. The Hummer EV rides on GM's Ultium platform and comes with big enough batteries that this behemoth offers 329 miles of EPA-estimated range. Towing capacity tops out at 7,500 pounds.

Off-road chops are provided by 35-inch tires, a torque-vectoring four-wheel-drive system that has locking differentials front and rear, and four-wheel steering. A single motor drives the front wheels, while the rear wheels each get a motor of their own (making it three total). This setup allows the Hummer EV to do a neat party trick: CrabWalk, in which the whole vehicle moves diagonally to get around obstacles.

Competitors for the Hummer EV are hard to find. The closest in terms of form factor is the Rivian R1T, which has impressive performance and range numbers of its own. There's also the Ford F-150 Lightning, a more conventional take on a full-size pickup truck with an electrified powertrain. Gas-powered trucks in this vein also include the aforementioned F-150 Raptor and the Ram 1500 TRX. The pickup will also soon be joined by an SUV variant, the Hummer EV SUV, which will debut as a 2024 model. Check out our test team's full Expert Rating for a complete report on the Hummer EV's real-world performance, utility and more.

Good

7.9

out of 10

We drove the 2023 GMC HUMMER EV on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.

Performance

7.5/10

How does the HUMMER EV drive? The size and weight of the Hummer EV pickup present some natural challenges when it comes to driving it. It's very wide so you need to pay extra attention to your steering inputs to make sure you're staying within your lane. Not helping matters is the steering that doesn't give you a clear sense of when the front wheels are pointed straight ahead. This isn't uncommon for off-road-focused vehicles with large, meaty all-terrain tires, so the Hummer doesn't stand alone here, but none are quite this big either.

As for cornering ability, our test driver's logbook note on the subject — "LOLOLOLOL" — pretty much sums it up. A Princess cruise liner likely has more turning aptitude than this thing. But heck, in a straight line, it's full steam ahead. Initiating the Watts To Freedom launch control mode primes the Hummer powertrain to deliver the maximum amount of torque at launch, propelling this approximately 10,000-pound truck to 60 mph in a scant 3.3 seconds in our testing. That's quicker than the Ford F-150 Lightning (4.0 seconds) and Rivian R1T (3.5 seconds). And even when not in max-attack mode, the Hummer doles out speed with ease.

To our surprise, the Hummer also stops commendably well for its size. We recorded a consistent distance of 135 feet in our testing, which is certainly better than many heavy-duty trucks we've tested. The brakes are very easy and predictable to modulate in everyday use, and the motors offer strong regenerative braking that can provide that one-pedal driving experience that many EV enthusiasts have come to expect.

Comfort

7.5/10

How comfortable is the HUMMER EV? The Hummer EV pickup doesn't provide enough luxury experience to match its price, but there's enough comfort to be found that the family won't protest group outings in it. The ride quality is pretty good for such a heavy, off-road-oriented vehicle. The Hummer actually feels more like a big SUV than a big truck, and it doesn't feel nearly as stiff as the Rivian R1T. It's also slightly less utilitarian-feeling than the F-150 Lightning.

The seats in the Hummer are also decent, offering support in most places it's needed, though we found the armrest material a little too rough in texture for bare elbows. We love that our test vehicle had tri-zone climate control to ensure rear passengers could tailor their temps to their liking, but we found the cooling power of the AC system to be a bit lacking. The heated and ventilated seats were much more effective.

The biggest enemy to the Hummer's overall cabin comfort is the noise. Our Edition 1's removable roof panels developed all sorts of wind noise on the highway, enough to nearly drown out the road hum generated by the chunky all-terrain tires. The whine from the electric motors, though not an actual nuisance, is also much more noticeable than in any other electric truck.

Interior

8/10

How’s the interior? There's lots of eye candy to be found in the Hummer interior and thankfully a lot of it is functional. The controls are intuitive enough that figuring out the day-to-day stuff can be done without an owner's manual. Most primary controls are touchscreen-based and the menus are simple to navigate. In the driver's seat, it's easy to find a comfortable position with lots of adjustment range. Visibility out of the cabin is good thanks to the square windows and surround-view camera system (nine cameras with 19 different views!), but the rearview mirror and side mirrors are comically small.

For such a large truck, getting in and out is pretty easy. The easy-access function drops the air suspension to the lowest setting, and the step rails help you the rest of the way. The cabin is fairly spacious though not as cavernous as you'd expect given the Hummer's exterior size. We weren't short of space in any dimension, but it feels no roomier than a nice midsize sedan. For further context, the Hummer is more spacious than a Rivian but not as roomy as an F-150 Lightning.

Technology

8/10

How’s the tech? The Hummer brings a pretty strong tech game. While there's no onboard navigation system, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are easy to connect and function well. Some of our staff members think navigation should be included at this price, and they wouldn't be wrong. We'd also add that the 14-speaker Bose audio system should really sound better at this price as well.

There are enough USBs plus a wireless charger and 12-volt outlets to keep everyone's devices juiced up. The rear row even has a 120-volt outlet for supporting larger accessories if needed. The infotainment system's Google Assistant makes speech controls far more effective than the average system.

As for advanced driver aids, the Hummer's suite is pretty comprehensive. Most worked well in our testing. Chevy's Super Cruise hands-free driving system is also included, though we encountered issues with it on the Hummer. It wouldn't turn on for roads that we've used the system on in other GM vehicles previously.

Towing and Storage

7.5/10

How are the towing and storage? The Hummer's front trunk provides a usable 11.3 cubic feet of space, but the space looks smaller than it could be and the power-operated hood takes what seems like a decade to open after you press the button. There's no drain hole, which means you won't be transforming the frunk into an ice chest for tailgating parties, which really should be a standard feature these days.

In-cabin storage for smaller items or more delicate cargo is also less plentiful than we'd expect. The available bin space is decent, and there is a sizable space below the center console between the driver and front passenger, but access isn't all that easy. A more sizable rear seat than the Rivian's means more space for car seats. There's nothing particularly special or clever for installing seats; it's the same as in any other large truck. The cabin height does mean most will use the step rails to help lift seats in.

As far as actual truck things, the Hummer EV is less impressive than its competition. Max payload for its 5-foot bed is 1,300 pounds and maximum towing is 7,500 pounds.

Range and Efficiency

6/10

How are the range and efficiency? The Hummer EV bookends the spectrum when it comes to energy consumption, and not on the good side. Just like other heavy-duty vehicles, the Hummer EV isn't required to have an official EPA consumption figure, so it doesn't. Lucky for you we ran our own numbers and calculated a whopping 57.8 kWh of electricity used for every 100 miles of driving. That's 10 kWh more than the next least efficient EV, the Rivian R1S Launch Edition (with all-terrain tires), and 223% more energy used for every 100 miles compared to a Tesla Model 3 Long Range.

Despite that inefficiency, the Hummer EV pickup managed to surprise us with how much range it can squeeze out of a single charge. Bear in mind the Hummer EV's battery is massive, with 212 kWh of usable capacity, which is nearly three times the size of a Tesla Model Y's battery. After a long day on the Edmunds real-world range loop, the Hummer EV pickup traveled an impressive 390 miles, a little over 18% more than its official EPA-estimated range of 329 miles.

As far as charging goes, GMC says you can add up to 16 miles of range per hour when set up with the optimal Level 2 charger at home (a hardwired connection with 11.5 kilowatts of output). When charging on the go, GMC says you can add as many as 100 miles in 12 minutes given you're charging in optimal conditions (battery state of charge and temperate weather) and plugged into a high-output 350-kW station.

Value

7/10

Is the HUMMER EV a good value? Looking at the Hummer objectively, its three electric motors and massive battery pack mean there's serious hardware costs from the start. While we felt that it was screwed together pretty well (with the exception of a squeaky motorized tonneau cover for the bed), the interior materials are definitely more rugged than chic, which makes it feel less worthy of its $110K-plus price tag. But if you see value in all the off-road capability, plus fun conversation-starting features like the rear-steer CrabWalk and underbody cameras, the cost of the Hummer will feel more justified.

The Hummer EV pickup's warranty mirrors what's offered in other GMC products with a pretty basic three-year/36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty, a five-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty and an eight-year/100,000 mile battery warranty (which includes roadside towing for anything battery-related). This is much less than what Rivian offers, and there's no complimentary fast charging.

Wildcard

9.5/10

It's not the easiest to drive in cities where roads are of standard width, but the Hummer EV's new-age tech makes it still pretty fun to drive and way more maneuverable than any Hummer that has come before it. The features and modes you are able to tinker with are seemingly endless. Few things about it are practical, but if we're being honest, no one buying a Hummer is shopping with practicality in mind.

We think GMC also got the styling right on this. The Hummer EV pickup looks thoroughly modern but is also instantly recognizable as a Hummer. Sleek yet rugged, it boasts a big personality yet somehow manages to fly under the radar just enough on the road.

2023 GMC HUMMER EV trim level differences

The 2023 Hummer EV comes in a single trim level, the 3X. Its three electric motors are powered by a massive 212-kWh battery pack that's mounted in the floor of the vehicle. Such a large battery can take a while to charge, so it's good that the Hummer EV comes on an 800-volt architecture that allows it to charge full bore at 350-kW DC fast-charging stations. GMC says that 100 miles of range can be added in only 10 minutes on one of these stations. The Hummer EV comes loaded to the gills with standard technology, driver assist and luxury features. Highlights include: Compare the 2023 GMC HUMMER EV trim levels in-depth.

Which HUMMER EV trim does Edmunds recommend?

The 2023 GMC Hummer EV comes loaded with features. As such, there isn't much to do other than pick the color you want. The Extreme Off-Road package is worth getting if you plan on driving this big EV off the beaten path.
