2024 GMC Hummer EV SUV | MotorWeek Road Test

[@travr1131]

I bought a 2005 H2 Hummer off of a guy whose company had bought him a brand-new, loaded Hummer EV. He gave me a ride in it and yes, it is very nice, very gigantic and super fast! I loved it!

[@scottyrob82]

I sold my Hummer EV before it was delivered. It's the most advanced vehicle I've ever driven. Big and stupid? Yes! Tons of fun? Even more so.

[@iamgermane]

Weighs as much as a tow truck!

[@LandonMillertotheMaxx]

2 words. VERY TUFF. this 10,000 pound beast is very FAST. well done GM. i hope there will be more HUMMER EVs like this one. hmm, what about a 7 seat version of it. one day.

[@dohc1067]

It's impressive how something so big and heavy can be so quick. E beast.

[@mbox314]

Now everyone else on the road is going to feel compelled to buy a 4-5000lb suv so they don't get completely obliterated in a wreck with a 8000lb truck that can accelerate as fast as a Ferrari from 15 years ago. We're moving the needle up in the direction of huge, heavy cars in a safety arms race.

[@Vben-z2f]

My Lexus 2017 RC350 AWD f-sport weighs almost exactly as much as a ford edge. Not far off from 4,000 lbs Sedans and coupes have gotten heavy it’s not just SUV’s. Obviously the heavier the better off you’ll be but I’m just pointing out modern sedans and coupes aren’t exactly light on their feet either

[@pieswimmer1]

@@Vben-z2f this is 5 tons my guy

[@JohnEvans-ct6mz]

My 2018 AWD BMW 5-series is only 3600 and that car is huge.

[@lawnmowerdude]

Kind of a moot point considering the roads are full of dump trucks and 18 wheelers. These things are more of a halo vehicle and won’t move that many units.

[@Vben-z2f]

@@pieswimmer1 and the sky is blue. did I say it wasn’t heavy? The original commenter said people will be compelled to buy 4,000-5,000 lbs suvs and trucks. I’m simply pointing out sedans and coupes are quickly approaching that weight range as well. So not exactly as big of a benefit to buy a 4,000lbs suv when there are sedans and coupes that weight that much.

[@arnezgibbs505]

I’ll take this over cybertruck

[@ChristmasEve777]

That's exactly what I did in April. I had the Cybertruck preordered and waited on it since Feb 2020. Finally decided in April to cancel that crap and buy this thing! I don't regret it!

[@XxROCKSTARxX3]

@@ChristmasEve777 Same here 😂 literally got the same spec shown in the video, but I have the white interior, parked next to a cyber truck and it made it look tiny compared to the hummer

[@ChristmasEve777]

For sure.

[@EmperorNefarious1]

People should need a CDL for something like this. It is above the weight limit for several roads in my area.

[@David-vz8ss]

😂😂😂

[@LilYeshua]

Different qualifications and rules involved but having a CDL is like earning pilot wings. 😮

[@Neojhun]

LOL Not even some actual Semi Tractors require a CDL for non commercial use.

[@terrysparrow2180]

That's commendable that if anything, they give a cautiously low range estimate. Tesla, on the other hand, has gotten in trouble for stretching the truth about the range of its vehicles.

[@videogazer801]

Thank God, John is the one presenting this vehicle! Long live, John.

[@demal1010]

I was ready to take the braking distance of a heavy vehicle like this to task. But 130 feet from 60 mph is not that bad.

[@cubedtothex]

The Cybertruck makes this look quite ordinary, but I a GOOD way. I wish I saw more of these on the road too!

[@OpeoAslam]

You can get a 40+ foot Cornhusker hopper bottom trailer that weighs less than this tank.

[@67keyakaren68]

This thing is oddly cool

[@elementkx]

Love the looks. But geez thats a lot of mass moving down the street wit supercar speed.

[@HomeOnTheRange]

It's kinda funny this guy talking about off road chops he expected. He seems like an off roader. This crcks me up so hard, you guys. LOL. Anyone who buys this thing, deserves this thing. LOL.

[@TheDanny1]

"polution-free" hahahaha

[@BlackhawkTDI]

This thing is badass, IDC What anyone say

[@onenickthomas]

5:08 63kWh / 100 miles the equivalent of 1.87 gallons of gas. Extrapolated that's 53.5 MPG! The Hummer H2 in its most efficient guise got just under 11 MPG highway - that's a nearly 5X improvement, and the performance is way better!

[@theheavy2742]

It will only get more efficient as time goes on as well. Even more so if you have your own solar and/or charge at home.

[@toddp7324]

I don't know where you live, but where I live 63kWH will cost around $13. I purchased gas today for $3.15/gallon, and $13 would buy you 4.13 gallons. So the extrapolated "mileage" is 24 MPG. Not horrible for a huge vehicle, but nowhere near as high as you calculated.

[@onenickthomas]

@@toddp7324 cost is not efficiency though

[@dpharr100]

With level 1 charging it would take 3 days to charge it But it's still pretty cool

[@David-vz8ss]

So maybe use level two or go to a fast charger instead of a 110 outlet. Not like The only option is 110

[@Neojhun]

I live in a 3 Phase 230v nation. Even with home charger on 3 phase and limited to around 11kw. It would still take overnight to max charge that thing. Bust just several hours if you only use had the range 140 miles, soo it's very daily useable. Too bad I won't be seeing one of those on the road anytime soon.

[@oldrrocr]

🤣🤣🤣 why even bother?

[@JohnEvans-ct6mz]

I had to laugh when he said “pollution free”. I guess smoke coming off of tires doesn’t count. Not to mention the over 4 tons of various metals (including lithium) and plastic it took to build this thing. That just comes from magic.

[@lawnmowerdude]

I’m pretty sure he’s just talking about tailpipe emissions. it’s Ok.

[@David-vz8ss]

If only you knew what he actually meant…. Oh that’s right you did.

[@CalvinHikes]

Yeah, it's emissions free, but it is not pollution free. There was a poor choice of words.

[@nicholassmith7048]

FYI that torque figure is at the wheels, which is not how torque is usually measured.

[@LivinlifenFL]

I predict this will be in the shop more than on the road lotta bugs to work out of this for sure

[@jorgerodrigogomezflores5711]

I’d like to test drive one of these, while it won’t be the most useful or efficient vehicle on the road, it is interesting at the very least without being polarizing.

[@CalvinHikes]

"Pollution free."

[@HumanBeanbag]

This makes the Cybertruck look like a toy 😂

[@DonnieDarko727]

Time for the semi truck family hauler😂

[@lawnmowerdude]

What’s funny is that this new Hummer has the same range as the old H2 in weights very close to that as well, but is much much faster.

[@josephammenti3977]

I'd like to have the thousand horsepower truck version, I really like that vehicle, they need to make a thousand horsepower SUV version as well and they should make a Special version that has titanium rims, carbon fiber hood and trunk and fenders and carbon fiber seats

[@BrooklynLove-s2p]

Thank you for this video, found this very helpful.

[@Stumble1b4]

This rig is big for most trails.

[@TheUnexpectedOffRoad]

Such a fun truck to drive!! I love mine!!

[@greggb681]

If they put a range extender ICE in the front, I would be on board tbh! I am sure the 2.7 I-4 from the Canyon and Colorado would fit under the hood and would be a perfect engine to use as a generator.

[@joshthemediocre7824]

Awesome, i grew up in a gear head family but i never understood the need to hold onto the internal combustion setup, most of my family including myself work on cars, but the average person doesn't, and doesn't want to, we don't like paying for fuel ad letting those prices rule us. It's great to have options, i'm all for electric everything, i was a fuel specialist in the military and i'm still all for electric everything, that was a dumb job anyways.

[@frontxxrunner]

That torque number is not accurate. I know that's what GM is reporting, but they're playing games with the gear ratios. I'm sure their actual torque number is outstanding, but incredibly lower than 11,500. It's ridiculous and false advertising.

[@clorenchrowell9880]

@frontxxrunner For a long time GM has been modest about their powertrains' actual output..that torque number is ridiculous but someone's going to dyno it as higher on KZbin in the near future

[@Mabeylater293]

But what if it was actually true 🤩

[@NemoArtics]

pollution free 😂 you kidding. the lcd display is horrible

[@revelare_xvii6269]

Just imagine how fast this thing would be if the top speed wasn’t electronically limited.

[@Pusher9000]

Agreed! I heard it is something with the tires. No one makes a higher speed rated tire in a 35” diameter that has the load rating that this monster requires. Because of that, they limit the top speed to what the tires can handle.

[@Biggdawg-gr8ym]

About time they put back the all time greatest for motorsweek.i love they my uncle presents any car .I truly miss him on motorcycle. NO ONE CAN DO IT THE WAY MY UNCLE CAN DO IT .I can't cantbget enough ,😂go head unk

[@domjfante8140]

@@rexseven93 Holy crap you’re right. According to Car and Driver they multiplied the torque by the final drive ratio to get that number, the actual torque is closer to 700 or 800 lb ft. So they’re being intentionally misleading.

There needs to be a 60 to 0 breaking limit for these vehicles cover certain weight like less than 115 feet or something

What happened to that exciting MotorWeek music ?

[@scottnyhart6546]

And 24 hour charge times !! No thanks !

[@theheavy2742]

Where are you going everyday that requires 348 miles of range daily? If you need to road trip, go to a DC fast charger. Otherwise, this thing can add more than enough juice overnight for the typical American commute if they charge at him.
