How Much Does the Hummer EV Weigh

The Hummer electric vehicle (EV) has made big waves in the auto industry since its reemergence as an EV when its predecessors were quite the opposite. It has a pickup and an SUV version, each with impressive specs and features. If you’re in the market for one, you may wonder how much it weighs, what it can tow, what the seating is like, and what it takes to charge. Read on for those answers and more.

Hummer EV Pickup

First, we’ll take a closer look at the Hummer EV pickup. After this blog, if you still have questions, feel free to speak with our team, and we can set up a test drive.

Dimensions and Capabilities

As you may expect by just looking at it, the Hummer EV is incredibly heavy, weighing in at 9,063 lbs. It’s 216.8 inches in length, 79.1 inches in height, and its wheelbase is 135.6 inches. Its maximum width without mirrors is 86.7 inches, and with mirrors, it jumps to 93.7. The track width for both front and rear is 73.3 inches, and the front and rear suspension travel are 13 inches. Your curb-to-curb turning diameter is 44.3 feet, but if you upgrade to the available four-wheel steer, you get a tighter turn at 37.1.

The front overhang is 34.7 inches, and the rear is 46.5. The cargo bed length is 60.1 inches, and the eTrunk volume is 11.3 cubic feet. As for payload, the Hummer EV pickup can hold up to 1,300 pounds. The maximum towing capacity is an incredible 8,500 pounds. This truck is a beast in the best way.

Exterior

The Hummer EV pickup sports the iconic Hummer look while infusing modern features. For instance, the headlights are animated when you switch the truck on and signal a turn. They also do double duty, indicating the level of charge. The power eTrunk is accessed by lifting the front hood, where you’ll find a 12-volt power outlet, lighting, and four cargo D-rings.

The MultiPro Tailgate is designed with you in mind, making it easier to step up into the bed and handle your cargo. Going off-road? Get the Extreme Off-Road Package that uses a protective chassis to safeguard the underbody, drive unit, and battery pack with accessories such as steel plates and shields, skid plates, and rock sliders.

That’s not all. This pickup features off-road bumpers and body panels to aid in climbing steep angles. Integrated front recovery hooks are also available. Moving to the top, the infinity roof with modular sky panels is a unique feature. They come standard in opaque, but you can upgrade to transparent panels. And as if being surrounded by windows isn’t enough, the lightweight sky panels can be easily removed so you can enjoy Meadowland’s open air.

Interior

Moving inside, you’ll feel like you’re in a rocket ship thanks to the 12.3-inch diagonal Driver Information Center and center-mounted 13.4-inch diagonal touch screen with 3D graphics. You’ll also see a Bose 14-speaker audio system featuring Centerpoint with the EV Sound Enhancement system. These advanced features, coupled with the bright, spacious interior, make driving a Hummer EV, or simply being a passenger, a full-body all-senses experience you’re not going to get anywhere else.

The tech is just as impressive. The visualizations and animations featuring all pertinent vehicle information were created using Epic Game’s Unreal Engine software. You’ll get a three-year subscription to Super Cruise, a driver-assistance technology that allows hands-free driving and automatic lane changing on over 400,000 miles of road in the U.S. and Canada.

The built-in navigation uses Google Maps. You’ll also have Google Assistant and Google Play that can do anything from navigating the Super Cruise roads and finding the nearest charging station to getting live traffic updates. And it’s all voice-activated. The available Off-Road App lets you keep an eye on things such as G-force, pitch-and-roll metrics, drift angles, and more.

Electric

Charging can be a make-or-break feature when it comes to choosing an EV, and GMC is making it as convenient as ever with amenities such as portable charging cords, at-home charging units, and more public accelerated charging stations. You’ll love using the high-occupancy vehicle lane while emitting zero tailpipe emissions. You may even get a state or local tax incentive.

With three motors and an Ultium battery, the GM-estimated electric range on a full charge is up to an astounding 355 miles. You can also get up to 1,000 horsepower, up to 11,500 lb-ft of torque, and go from zero to 60 mph in approximately three seconds.

Hummer EV SUV

This incredible force of a vehicle is now available in an SUV as well. Let’s check out some differences between the pickup and the SUV models.

Dimensions and Capabilities

The weight is only slightly less for the SUV, weighing 8,660 pounds. You’ll get 81.8 cubic feet of cargo volume behind the front seats and 35.9 cubic feet behind the second-row seats. The length varies a bit, coming to 196.8 inches without the spare tire and 206.7 inches with it. It’s also marginally shorter, at 77.8 inches, with a smaller wheelbase of 126.7 inches. However, you get a better turn radius with a curb-to-curb diameter of 42 feet with the standard two-wheel steering or 35.4 feet with the available four-wheel steering.

The SUV’s towing capacity is shy of the truck’s but still offers a respectable 7,500 pounds. You can also opt for the ProGrade Trailering System to further enhance the ease of your towing experience.

Exterior

The rear of the SUV features a Power Swing Gate, opening via your key fob or exterior button, making it convenient to get into no matter what you’re loading or unloading. The SUV has the same sky panels available on the truck and ensures the same experience by incorporating Power Rear Drop Glass on the swing gate, allowing you to lower that back window.

Interior

Many interior features are the same. However, the SUV offers up to 17 camera views (as opposed to the truck’s 18) to provide real-time terrain images to your high-definition center display. Both also offer incredible safety features, such as Safety Seat Alert, a system that uses left, right, or both driver’s side seat vibrations to indicate the direction of a potential accident, allowing you to move to safety quickly.

Electric

The three motors and Ultium battery get an EPA-estimated full charge all-electric range of 314 miles. You’ll also get up to 830 horsepower, up to 11,500 lb-ft of torque, and can go from zero to 60 mph in approximately 3.5 seconds.

Pickup or SUV: Which Will It Be?

Both options share many advanced features, so it may come down to being a truck or SUV person. Check out some options in person at Meadowland GMC or browse our extensive inventory online today.
