As the automotive industry races toward electrification, the GMC HUMMER EV Pickup and SUV models are making a bold statement with their combination of all-electric powertrains and advanced technology features. These vehicles are not just about raw power; they offer an array of smart technologies that redefine off-road driving and everyday convenience. Here’s a look at five innovations that make the GMC HUMMER EV a game-changer in the world of electric vehicles.
1. Extract Mode: Overcoming the Toughest Terrain The HUMMER EV’s Extract Mode is built for challenging off-road scenarios, providing a solution when extra ground clearance is needed. Activated by the driver, this mode raises the vehicle’s ride height by six inches through the Air Ride Adaptive Suspension system. This increased clearance allows the HUMMER EV to navigate rocks, ruts, and steep inclines with ease, ensuring no path is too tough to tackle.
2. UltraVision: Eyes Everywhere Part of the HUMMER EV’s Extreme Off-Road Package, UltraVision technology delivers comprehensive visibility with up to 18 camera views for the pickup model and 17 for the SUV. This includes two underbody cameras that give drivers a clear view of obstacles beneath the vehicle, aiding in precise navigation. UltraVision is perfect for tight parking situations and challenging off-road maneuvers, providing confidence in every drive.
3. Off-Road App: Data at Your Fingertips The HUMMER EV’s Off-Road app serves as a co-pilot for drivers, displaying real-time information such as pitch and roll angles, suspension deflection, motor torque output, and g-forces. The app can be accessed directly from the vehicle’s infotainment screen and includes widgets that can be transferred to the digital instrument cluster. This feature ensures that drivers always have critical data in view when traversing rough terrain.
4. Watts to Freedom: Unleashing Electric Power For those seeking thrilling acceleration, the HUMMER EV’s Watts to Freedom mode is designed to unleash the full potential of its propulsion system. This mode adjusts the Air Ride Adaptive Suspension and prepares the chassis and cooling systems for high-speed performance, allowing the Pickup model to sprint from 0 to 60 mph in as little as three seconds, while the SUV achieves the same in 3.5 seconds. Watts to Freedom ensures an exhilarating driving experience, making the HUMMER EV a true powerhouse on wheels.
5. 4-Wheel Steer and CrabWalk: Mastering Maneuverability The HUMMER EV’s 4-Wheel Steer system enhances agility by allowing all four wheels to turn in sync, resulting in a tighter turning radius. The unique CrabWalk feature, exclusive to GMC, enables diagonal movement by aligning the angle of the rear wheels with the front wheels at low speeds. This capability allows the HUMMER EV to navigate around obstacles in ways that traditional vehicles cannot, offering drivers unmatched flexibility when exploring off-road trails or maneuvering through tight spaces.
With these five advanced technologies, the GMC HUMMER EV stands as a testament to how rugged capability and smart design can coexist in an all-electric vehicle. As the industry evolves, the HUMMER EV continues to push boundaries, offering drivers a taste of the future of off-road electric adventure.
