The future of off-roading has arrived in the Middle East with the launch of the GMC HUMMER EV in the UAE and Kuwait – and possibly Saudi since it’s listed here. As the world’s first all-electric supertruck, the GMC HUMMER EV represents a bold leap forward in automotive technology, combining unparalleled off-road capability with cutting-edge electric propulsion. This revolutionary vehicle is available as both a pickup and an SUV, marking the first electric addition to GMC’s premium lineup.
The GMC HUMMER EV is built on General Motors’ advanced Ultium Platform, which offers an impressive range and performance, including industry-leading fast-charge capabilities. With just 10 minutes of charging, the vehicle can gain nearly 160 kilometers of range. This platform enables the HUMMER EV to deliver more than 540 kilometers of range on a full charge, while its three-motor e4WD system provides 1,000 horsepower and 11,500 lb.-ft. of torque, ensuring exceptional performance on both on-road and off-road terrains.
One of the standout features of the HUMMER EV is its 4 Wheel Steer system with CrabWalk, allowing the vehicle to move diagonally, making it easier to navigate challenging terrain. Additionally, the Watts to Freedom mode unleashes the full acceleration potential of the EV, propelling the truck from 0 to 100 km/h in just three seconds.
Designed for off-road enthusiasts, the HUMMER EV comes equipped with features like Adaptive Air Suspension and Extract Mode, which raises the vehicle by approximately 149 mm to tackle extreme off-road situations. The Terrain Mode and One-Pedal Driving provide precise control for rock crawling and other demanding scenarios, while the Regen on Demand system helps maximize the vehicle’s range by feeding energy back into the battery.
Inside, the HUMMER EV is packed with advanced technology, including a 13.4-inch infotainment screen and a 12.3-inch driver information center. The vehicle also offers HD Surround Vision with up to 18 camera views, including underbody cameras, to assist with off-roading and tight parking situations. For added convenience, the OnStar Remote Key Fob services allow drivers to control various functions of the vehicle through a smartphone app.
The GMC HUMMER EV has been rigorously tested in the harshest conditions of the UAE’s deserts, ensuring it can handle the extreme heat and rugged landscapes of the Middle East. With its blend of innovative technology, robust performance, and futuristic design, the GMC HUMMER EV is set to redefine the electric vehicle market in the region.
