The GMC Hummer is a name synonymous with power and capability. Now, the all-electric Hummer EV roars back, completely redesigned for the future. This isn't the old-school Hummer you remember; it's a futuristic supertruck with innovation at its core. Let's delve into some of the Hummer EV's most jaw-dropping features.

10,000 lbs of Electric Muscle: The All-New GMC Hummer EV - Recharged and Ready for Anything

Beneath its sleek exterior lies a hidden layer of full underbody armor.

Power eTrunk: More Than Just Storage

The Hummer EV boasts a innovative Power eTrunk.

When the truck transforms into a convertible, the eTrunk seamlessly stores the roof panels while offering a handy 11.3 cubic feet of additional storage space.

Plus, a built-in 12-volt socket keeps your gear powered on the go.

MultiPro Tailgate: Designed for Everyone

The standard MultiPro Tailgate isn’t just another tailgate; it’s a game-changer.

Whether you’re battling aging joints or helping a less-mobile passenger, the MultiPro’s drop-down step makes accessing the truck bed a breeze.

This innovative design is a thoughtful touch for all types of truck enthusiasts.

Hidden But Ready: Full Underbody Armor

Beneath its sleek exterior lies a hidden layer of full underbody armor, specifically designed by GMC to shield the truck from off-road obstacles.

It’s perfect for navigating rocky trails or dodging any other rogue hurdles, the Hummer EV is built to take on any adventure.

Open Air, Anywhere: Rear Drop Glass

Imagine cruising down the California coast with the wind in your hair.

The Hummer EV’s electronically powered rear drop glass makes it a reality.

This feature opens up the cabin, seamlessly blending the outdoors with your driving experience.

Perfect for cruising around California, maybe not so fun in the Texan summer heat.

A Nod to the Past: Iconic Hummer H Taillights

The Hummer EV pays homage to its heritage with a clever taillight design.

The lights themselves incorporate the iconic “Hummer H” logo – a subtle reminder of the truck’s legacy (it doesn’t standing for ‘heavy’ in this 10,000lbs pickup).

Light Up the Night (and Charge!): Seven-Bar Grille

GMC’s Creative Designer, Datta, wasn’t shy when it came to the Hummer EV’s grille. This isn’t just a cosmetic feature; the seven-bar light-up grille also serves as the truck’s charge indicator.

Datta said: “The charge indicator on the GMC Hummer EV pickup is by far the most exciting element — the color, the style, the behavior, I love everything about it.”

Graphics That Go Beyond the Road: Interior Display

The Hummer EV’s designers didn’t stop at the exterior. The truck’s infotainment system boasts a range of Hummer-specific graphics that are both informative and entertaining.

From the “hold to engage” screen for the innovative “crabwalk mode” to the playful animation showing your truck cruising on the moon, the interior display adds a touch of personality.
