DETROIT – General Motors unveiled a fully electric Hummer SUV on Saturday that will exceed $ 110,000 when it goes on sale in 2023. The vehicle will be the co-founder of a future Hummer pickup that is scheduled to go on sale in this fall.

“GMC Hummer EVs have been designed to be the most capable and compelling electric supertrucks of all time,” Duncan Aldred, GMC’s global vice president, said in a statement.

The Hummer EV SUV debuted during an announcement told by NBA star LeBron James during the NCAA Final Four game between the Baylor Bears and the Houston Cougars on CBS.

The 2024 GMC Hummer EV SUV has the same torque of up to £ 11,500 as the pick-up, however it is estimated to have a range of 50 miles less, 170 horsepower less and it is half a second slower than the pickup due to a smaller battery.

The SUV’s range is estimated to be between 250 miles and more than 300 miles, depending on the model. Speeds from 0 to 60 mph are as fast as about 3.5 seconds. It has up to 830 horsepower, according to GM.

Prices

Full SUV prices will range from about $ 80,000 for a base model to $ 110,595 for a special “Edition 1” launch model with an “extreme off-road package” available. Prices vary depending on the range, performance and size of the vehicle battery.

GM said it will start producing the best models in early 2023, followed by less expensive versions by spring 2024. The automaker is making vehicle reservations on its website.

Prices and production by levels are similar to how GM launches the Hummer pickup. The initial availability of the Hummer EV pickup in the fall will start at $ 112,595 for an “Edition 1” that has sold out. A $ 99,995 version will be available a year later, followed by the $ 89,995 and $ 79,995 models in the spring of 2023 and 2024, respectively.

The exterior of the vehicles looks the same, except for the closed back of the SUV compared to the open bed of the pickup. Both have a new iteration of the traditional grille with Hummer slots, with “HUMMER” rear lighting in the front of the vehicles.

Both also offer a range of off-road parts and features such as adaptive air suspension and “crab mode” that allows it to rotate all four wheels simultaneously, allowing the truck to move almost diagonally.

The SUV, as well as the pickup, is available with GM Super Cruise’s driver assistance system, which allows hands-free driving on more than 200,000 miles of highway with limited access in the US and Canada.

Hummer’s resurrection

The Hummer and SUV will be produced at an assembly plant in Detroit. These are the first Hummers since GM gave up the well-known gas versions in 2010.

GM President Mark Reuss previously told CNBC that the decision to revive Hummer for electric vehicles was made following a discussion between him, GM CEO Mary Barra and at least one other executive in early 2019 about reimagining Hummer for a new generation of buyers.

“We just wanted to do it. We saw the opportunity for trucks,” Reuss said during GM’s “EV Day” earlier this year. “I always wanted to do this with Hummer, but she had so much gas in her luggage, so I turned her head.”

Hummer pickups, which GM calls a sports utility truck, or SUT, will be the automaker’s first-generation electric vehicle platform and battery under a $ 27 billion plan to switch to vehicles. electric and autonomous by 2025.
