2022 GMC Hummer EV Pickup

An Off-Road Icon Reborn

General Motors has pulled the wraps off the 2022 GMC Hummer EV, an electric full-size pickup with crazy power, a removable top, moonscape-themed details, and a price of $112,595 for the high-end Edition 1 trim that’s set to go on sale before the end of 2021.

Although GMC will offer the Hummer EV in a number of trims, the brand will initially sell the vehicle solely in Edition 1 guise. As such, all 2022 Hummer EVs are painted white with a black-painted upper. As the highest performing variant of the Hummer EV, the Edition 1 comes standard with three electric motors, two of which power the rear axle; the third provides grunt to the front. As such, the truck features standard four-wheel drive and a torque-vectoring rear end—a setup GMC dubs e-4WD.

The brand claims the truck’s powertrain generates more than 1,000 hp and is capable of sprinting to 60 mph in 3.0 seconds.

The Edition 1 will continue into the 2023 model year, at which point it will be joined by the 3X trim, due to go on sale before the end of 2022. Like the six-figure Edition 1, the Hummer EV3X has three motors and torque vectoring. However, it starts at a more reasonable (well, relatively speaking) price of $99,995. In 2023, GMC plans to add the two-motor 2X trim, which starts at $89,995. The base Hummer EV2 goes on sale in 2024 with a starting price of $79,995. All subsequent variants will offer a full rainbow of colors, but all Hummer EV trims sport black paint above the beltline as part of the model’s signature look.

Predictably, the Edition 1 comes well equipped and includes off-road-oriented kit such as 18-inch wheels wrapped in 35-inch Goodyear Wrangler tires (it can also accommodate 37-inch rubber), rock rails, an adaptive air suspension, four-wheel steering, and special badging.
