Still a Hummer—But With Subtle Refinement

The 2026 GMC Hummer EV SUV doesn’t stray far from the look we’ve come to expect. Still boxy. Still huge. Still looks like it could chew through a canyon wall without flinching. But take a closer look — you’ll catch some of the updates.

Lines are cleaner now, and the lighting up front has a more modern touch. Nothing drastic. The Carbon Fiber Edition adds some flair — that Magnus Gray Matte paint pops in photos, and the Velocity Ember interior looks slick without going full sci-fi. It’s still a brute, but dressed up for a night out.

New Tricks: King Crab Rear Steering

So here’s the headline feature: King Crab mode. It’s like CrabWalk from the last model, but now the rear wheels turn at even greater angles than the fronts. Sounds weird, but it works — think tight switchbacks or threading between boulders. Basically, this big SUV suddenly feels a lot smaller when it counts.

On trails, that’s not just cool — it’s helpful. There’s real function behind the showmanship this time.

Under the Skin: Power and Practicality

The Carbon Fiber Edition isn’t just trim. It comes with a tri-motor setup pushing 830 horsepower. That’ll get you from 0 to 60 in about 3.5 seconds. Not hypercar speed, but for something this size? Pretty wild.

What’s more interesting is the bidirectional charging. You can plug in another EV. Or power your campsite. Or keep your house running during an outage. It’s the kind of real-world utility that moves the Hummer beyond just being a statement piece.

Inside: Open-Air Tech Comfort

The cabin feels like a proper EV flagship — lots of screens, clean layout, but still rugged. You’ve got a 13.4-inch infotainment screen and a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster. Big numbers, but more importantly, they’re readable and well laid out.

Then there’s the Infinity Roof — those removable Sky Panels give you that open-air feel without going full convertible. Whether you're in the woods or just parked at a viewpoint, it adds to the experience.

Rivals Shouldn’t Get Comfortable

This thing is gunning for the Rivian R1S, probably more than anything else. Sure, the Mercedes EQG is coming, and Jeep has its eye on the segment too. But none of them wear presence quite like the Hummer.

It’s not trying to blend in. It’s trying to stand out. And now, it’s got the features to back it up.
