The Future of Off-Roading: The 2025 GMC Hummer EV SUV

The 2025 GMC Hummer EV SUV proves that the future of off-road vehicles is electric powertrains with high-capacity batteries, not gas-guzzling V8s. With power and torque to overcome any obstacle and driving range to keep going, the electric SUV is well-equipped to accompany you on your next weekend adventure. more Monstrous Torque Output A powerhouse from the get-go, the Hummer EV 2X SUV produces 570 hp and 7,400 lb-ft of torque with its two electric motors. The monstrous amounts of near-instant electric torque make the SUV more maneuverable at low speeds, helping it crawl over rocks and navigate tight spaces. The more powerful EV 3X houses three electric motors, churning out a best-in-class 830 hp and 11,500 lb-ft of torque. With the Hummer EV's exclusive electric launch control system, Watts to Freedom, the torque titan sprints from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds. Reliable Driving Range There are no charging stations in the wilderness, which is why the Hummer EV SUV comes with GM's capacious 20-module battery. When fully charged, the EV 2X offers 315 miles of driving range, while the EV 3X follows closely behind with 312 miles of range. You can plug the SUV into a home GM PowerUp, or any Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 charger to recharge the battery while you are off the trail. Armored Underbody The SUV's belly pan is covered in thick steel plates, with shields protecting the drive unit and battery, so that you can off-road with confidence. With the Extreme Off-Road package, the SUV turns into a fortress with full underbody armor, skid plates, and rocker protectors. The package also includes heavily armored electronically locking front and rear differentials and heavy-duty ball spline half shafts that reduce feedback forces. Soaring Ground Clearance You can confidently drive through water 28 inches deep, thanks to the Hummer EV SUV's 12-inch ground clearance. Additionally, the 44.3-degree approach angle and 43.3-degree departure angle allow the SUV to climb rock walls that are 18 inches high. 35-inch Wrangler Territory AT tires, 22-inch wheels, and Air Ride Adaptive Suspension with 13 inches of suspension travel are standard, enabling the SUV to scale large boulders without scraping its underbody Innovative Off-Road Technology The Hummer EV SUV comes equipped with CrabWalk and Extract Mode to help you navigate tight spots on the trail. CrabWalk activates rear-axle steering so that the SUV can move diagonally. Meanwhile, engaging Extract Mode raises the ride height by 6 inches, enabling the SUV to plow through deep mud or ford water 32 inches deep. If you are looking for an electric SUV with the ability to traverse any terrain, you can never go wrong with the GMC Hummer EV SUV's powerful propulsion system, armored underbody, and off-roading technology.

The 2025 GMC HUMMER EV Pickup vs. the 2025 GMC Sierra EV: Electric Truck Showdown

Barrington drivers shopping for an electric truck will find two excellent options at the local GMC dealership: the 2025 GMC HUMMER EV Pickup and the 2025 GMC Sierra EV. One is more affordable and offers a reliable driving range for long-haul trucking, while the other is packed with torque and technology for extreme off-roading. more Horsepower and Torque While both electric trucks have impressive power outputs, the HUMMER EV Pickup takes the lead with its dual-motor setup, producing 570 hp and 7,400 lb-ft of torque in its base configuration. The HUMMER EV 3X Pickup takes things a step further with its tri-motor setup, zapping a best-in-class 1,000 hp and 11,500 lb-ft of torque. For comparison, the more affordable Sierra EV's two electric motors produce a maximum of 760 hp and 785 lb-ft of torque when properly equipped. Acceleration and Towing Capacity The torque-rich HUMMER EV Pickup dominates in acceleration and max trailering capacity. With its exclusive electric launch control system, Watts to Freedom, the EV 3X sprints from 0 to 60 mph in just 3 seconds. Meanwhile, the entry-level EV 2X offers the best towing capacity, which reaches a staggering 12,000 lbs. However, this doesn't mean that the Sierra EV is lacking in the performance department. The electric pickup truck sprints from 0 to 60 mph in under 4.5 seconds with Max Power Mode and tows an impressive 10,500 lbs. Off-Roading Capabilities If you are looking for a capable off-roader, your options don't get better than the HUMMER EV Pickup. The behemoth electric truck features a soaring ground clearance of 11.9 inches, skid plates and shields protecting the underbody, and 22-inch wheels wrapped in 35-inch Outer Diameter Goodyear tires. Standard off-roading technology includes Extract Mode, which increases ground clearance by 4 inches, and CrabWalk, which turns the rear wheels parallel to the front ones. Only second to the HUMMER EV Pickup, the Sierra EV also comes with a number of off-roading technologies. Its Air Ride Adaptive Suspension allows you to increase ground clearance on demand, and engaging 4-Wheel Steer decreases the turn radius for tighter maneuvers. The truck also features CrabWalk, similar to the HUMMER EV Pickup. Driving Range The Sierra EV drives much further than most electric trucks in the market, even in its base configuration. The standard battery offers a reliable 390 miles of driving range, while the available Max Range Battery boosts this to an outstanding 460 miles. For comparison, the HUMMER EV Pickup drives up to 367 miles at the EV 3X trim level. This makes the Sierra EV the ideal choice for long-haul trucking, which often involves driving hundreds of miles on highways. Looking for an electric pickup truck?
