The GMC Hummer is the sort of heavy machine you stare at with a sense of awe and respect. It's not just the size that intimidates but also the imposing stance and aggressive design. This vehicle means business, and it's not afraid to show it. The 2023 GMC EV Hummer is no different. It takes all the best elements of the original Hummer and amplifies them for the modern age.

Drivetrain and Performance
As befits a truck of this magnitude, the 2023 GMC EV Hummer comes with some serious hardware under the hood. For 2023, GMC will offer two- and three-motor configurations with three different output options. The base EV2 model will come with two electric motors, one mounted on each axle, that together produce 625 horsepower and a staggering 7,400 lb-ft of torque. Yep, you read that right. 7,400 lb-ft of torque, and that's just the base model.
The EV3X model features a three-motor setup that produces an even more impressive 830 horsepower and an earth-shattering 11,500 lb-ft of torque. Yep, you read that right too. 11,500 lb-ft of torque, an output that is simply mind-boggling. To put that into perspective, that's more torque than any production car currently on sale.
The range-topping Edition 1 is the real star of the show, boasting a tri-motor setup that produces an insane 1000 horsepower and an earth-shaking 11,500 lb-ft of torque. The Edition 1 takes things to the absolute limit, and it's clear that GMC has spared no expense in ensuring this truck is the most capable off-roader on the market.
Speed, Range, and Battery Charging Time
The 2023 GMC Hummer EV is also lightning-fast. The base EV2 model sprints from zero to 60 mph in just four seconds, while the range-topping Edition 1 will do it in a supercar-esque three seconds flat, thanks in part to its 1000 horsepower output. To say that this truck is powerful would be a massive understatement. It's downright brutal and sure to satisfy even the most diehard gearheads out there.
The 2023 GMC Hummer EV is no slouch either when it comes to range. The base EV2 model has a 100% electric range of 300 miles, while the range-topping Edition 1 boasts an impressive 350 miles of range. GMC yielded such impressive numbers by equipping the Hummer EV with a massive Ultium battery pack that provides 205 kWh of usable capacity, and it's located low in the chassis for an optimal center of gravity. The battery pack is also liquid-cooled for maximum efficiency, and you can recharge it in just over an hour using a 350 kW fast charger.
Handling and Capability
All the power in the world is useless if the truck can't put it down on the ground. Thankfully, the 2023 GMC EV Hummer has that covered. It comes standard with four-wheel drive and GMC's exclusive Super Cruise semi-autonomous driving system. The truck also features configurable air ride suspension, which allows you to adjust the ride height on the fly. This feature will come in handy when off-roading, allowing the truck to maintain a low center of gravity while still providing plenty of ground clearance.
Speaking of off-roading, the 2023 GMC EV Hummer is more than capable of tackling even the most challenging terrain. It comes standard with 35-inch tires and has an impressive ground clearance of 16 inches. Thanks to its four-wheel steering, the truck is also incredibly maneuverable. This comes in handy when negotiating tight trails or trying to extract yourself from a sticky situation.
Interior and Exterior
The 2023 GMC EV Hummer is a massive truck, and it's clear that GMC has designed it with function in mind. The interior is spacious and well-appointed, with plenty of room for five adults to sit comfortably. The front seats are well-bolstered and offer plenty of support, even when driving off-road. The rear seats are also well-cushioned and offer plenty of legroom for taller passengers. Tech goodies are plentiful and include a 13.4-inch diagonal color touch-screen infotainment system with built-in navigation and Google, wireless charging, and a heads-up display.
As for the exterior, the 2023 GMC EV Hummer is undeniably stunning. Tall and wide, this truck cuts an imposing figure and is sure to turn heads wherever it goes with one of the most eye-catching designs on the market. It's also outfitted with a bevy of off-road specific features, such as huge fender flares, skid plates, and massive off-road tires that jack the truck up even higher.
