2024 GMC HUMMER EV Pickup review

What We Like 

• Acceleration: 3X models have access to the Watts to Freedom (WTF) mode, which takes the Hummer to 60 mph in just over 3 seconds, which is unheard of for a vehicle this size. In its Normal mode, the Hummer is still ridiculously quick, which makes it easier to manage and live with on the open road. 

• Visibility: Despite its size, visibility is good throughout the cabin since the windows are large and square. The rearview mirror is on the small side, but there is a camera option that displays an image in the mirror and allows you to see everything behind you without worrying about your passengers and cargo.  

• Intuitive controls: The controls are easy enough to use that you might not need a manual to figure out common tasks. The primary controls are handled via touchscreen and the menus are simple to navigate. A drive mode dial sits right behind the gear selector and can activate CrabWalk and adjust the suspension height. The steering wheel controls are also straightforward to operate.  

What Needs Improvement  

• Inefficient: On the one hand, you're avoiding gas consumption and tailpipe emissions. On the other, the Hummer is essentially an "electricity-guzzler." It was the least efficient EV in Edmunds' testing with a whopping 57.8 kWh of electricity used for every 100 miles of driving. In this case, lower numbers are better, and that’s 10 kWh more than the next least efficient EV, the Rivian R1S Launch Edition (with all-terrain tires), and roughly double the energy used on a Tesla Model 3 Long Range with its EPA-estimated 26 kWh.
