Without a doubt, one of the most ambitious new vehicles to comes from General Motors has to be the upcoming GMC Hummer EV. Combining four-figure output, off-roader chops, and an all-electric powertrain, not to mention the resurrection of the Hummer brand, there’s a lot riding on the success of this machine. Now, we’re previewing what it’ll look like in the following GM Authority Exclusive Rendering.
One glance is all it takes to confirm – the upcoming GMC Hummer EV is not your typical pickup truck. The front end takes inspiration from the broad central grille treatment seen on older Hummer vehicles, which is a look that GM has already teased. The corners get a familiar wheel design as well.
As for the details, we gave the new all-electric three windshield wipers and a short bed, two features confirmed at the vehicle’s limited media debut during the recent GM EV Day event. The rear fender gets a prominent “HUMMER” graphic to finish it off.
In addition to the pickup seen here, the 2021 GMC Hummer EV will also be offered with an SUV body.
With regard to the setup under the skin, the new Hummer EV will ride on GM’s BT1 all-electric vehicle platform and draw power from the company’s latest Ultium battery packs, while optional air ride suspension will keep it glued to the road. A range of drivetrain and battery configurations will be offered, including single-, dual-, and three-motor setups. Sitting at the top of the heap will be a 1,000-horsepower monster that will run to 60 mph in three seconds.
The cabin space will feature a large 15-inch infotainment screen, which will pair with a 12-inch digital instrument cluster.
The new GMC Hummer EV is expected to debut in May, with the first units arriving at dealers in the Fall of 2021 for the 2022 model year. Production will take place at the GM Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly facility in Michigan.

Comments
I’ve heard from multiple sources online claiming the bed will feature a kind of arm connecting to the body similar to a first gen Honda ridgeline
They’re currently deciding between bringing that to production or not.
Really? I thought that was a done deal?
From what I’ve heard, the “c-pillar sails” are much more akin to the Chevy Avalanche in shape, but built-in like the Ridgeline. In other words, it won’t have that stupid sloping bed the Ridgeline had. Think Avalanche with those back sails being part of the body.
I initially didn’t like the idea, but I think differentiating the Hummer SUT from normal pickups is a good idea. If it looks kind of like the GMC Sierra “Sport Bar,” just built in to the cab…google the Sierra 1500 All Terrain X and imagine it with 35 inch tires, or google the Avalanche with 35 inch tires, and you’ve probably got 75% of the new Hummer look right there. With the new Hummer EV front fascia and fender flares, that’s almost the whole package.
I’m sorry guys. That’s a lazy photo-chop not a render.
Sadly, they also chopped the wrong truck. The SB ad showed HD mirrors. I am surprised nobody realized that GM rendered this thing a long time ago. It’s the GM Defense Silverado ZH2 with a Hummer grill.
Battery life/mileage? Quick charge battery? Some dimensions would be nice. Will it be offered in trims other than the off road version rendered? Oh, an anticipated MSRP would also be nice. Putting this out there without a more completely rounded explanation of the features/specs is a waste of every bodies time.
In reality GMA is likely scrambling to keep page views and reader engagement up. Not a ton of new news when the industry is at a standstill
Is gmc planning to use Denali on their hummers?
GMC Hummer EV SUT Denali AT4
Doubtful. From what I’ve read, Hummer will be positioned as an electric truck/SUV sub-brand for GMC, just like Denali is their luxury sub-brand. They’re on equal footing, one won’t be attached to the other.
Car and Driver did so much better.
This thing looks like a first gen Canyon. That is not a good thing.
“This thing looks like a first gen Canyon”.
My thoughts exactly!

“Lifting the veil on the new battery-powered truck!”. REALLY!!!
(“To divulge, explain, or reveal something that was previously a secret” – idioms.thefreedictionary.com/lift+the+veil)
Nothing new or unknown here.
Move along people!
If you want something well done. Note it is said it would have the high belt line of past Hummers.

The Car and Driver one is highly unlikely too. No way a revived Hummer is going to have low profile tires like their render.
Don’ discount the wheels. This truck is not for off road it is for image. Most will be on LA streets with West Coast custom trucks including low profile tires on large wheels.
Any ways the body here is what we are looking at and it is so much better than what is shown here.
Car and Driver did the exact same tji g. They merely stuck the Hummer grille on a pickup. GM is not going through the trouble of reviving the Hummer brand to just make a generic looking pickup. They already have the Silvarado/Sierra and Colorado/Canyon lines for pickups. And they already have Escalade for large luxury pavement SUV. There is no way those renders are close to representing a new Hummer.
Never said it was what they were building. Just said it was a better rendering effort.
If you know so much please give us the specific details that are 100% accurate.
I never claimed I knew exactly what they are building. I am just using a little common sense to guess that it will look more like an old Hummer and not like a pickup with a different grille.
those who have seen it said it will be squared off and have low cab windows similar to the past. Nothing else was seen.
The Car and Driver version are least has that and looks pleasant. The one here is none of that. That was my only point.
As for the wheels many were customized in the past low profile tires so anything is possible and to even bring that up at this point is silly.
This is just as lazy as the InsideEVs render. Just sticking the teased Hummer grille on a regular pickup is not going to be the new Hummer.
This rendering looks cheap and underwhelming IMO. The rendering that first came out about the EV Hummer, looked a lot more like a SUV that could deserve a $70,000 price of admission.
Sorry, but the Hummer will be full size, not a midsize truck.
This looks more like the Colorado Z71 crew cab with upgraded tyres. It can be a nice EV truck for $40K, but I don’t see this worthy of a Hummer badge. Too soft.
Tought crowd. I like the render.
If this is what it will look like, I predict failure. The rendering is simply a photoshop “Hummer” type front on a generic GM Pick Up. That is not going to excite new buyers… AND I predict this is what GM is going to push… nothing revolutionary or groundbreaking, just easy for them and at a premium price. I predict a crappy “jet black” horrible plastic interior… GM is going to screw this up….
Journalists who have seen both the SUT and SUV have all said that the new Hummers look like much more modern versions of the H3 and H3T, not like a normal pickup truck, GM isn’t pushing a generic truck, and they’re not screwing this up. Your negativity is unfounded, I think you’ll be surprised by the amount of Hummer heritage in the end product.
Personally I’d be more excited about something closer to this than a newer h3t. I don’t want a statement vehicle.
There are pretty much ZERO bright spots in GM’s portfolio, save the Vette. My negativity is based on the countless underwhelming launches in the last few years by GM. Lousy decisions like CT6 and Blackwing… the company is lost and rudderless…. get your head out of the sand…
G8 – BTW, more negativity for you: now that GM has pushed out the refresh of the Silverado, it will continue to fall behind in sales because it was crappy when it came out. If they had invested a little more $ the first time vs all the cost cutting and trying to save a penny, they wouldn’t be in this situation. I predict the Silverado falls WAAAAAYYY behind RAM moving forward. This is simply incompetence from Sr Mgt and Mary Barra must be fired….
None of that changes what I said about the Hummer – what do Silverado sales or the Blackwing have to do with Hummer design elements confirmed by people who actually saw them? GM isn’t pushing a design similar to these renderings, like you initially claimed. Stop whining, or go do it on Twitter like everyone else.
Take your chill pill G3BurnedOut… you have an opinion and so does everyone else. You are an authority on YOU so ease on down, ease on down, ease on down the road…
This isn’t a matter of opinion, its a matter of fact. Your opinion was that the real deal Hummers would look like these renderings…all commentary from people who have seen them say that’s not true. You have your opinion all you want, but at LEAST have the facts right.
And btw, your pathetic usage of elementary school nicknames is really a mark on you. Full disclosure, I’m a Trump supporter just like you, but you represented his voters so poorly with your stupid ranting and name-calling back in that article from two days ago that I refused to even identify with the causes you supposedly believe in. Grow up already, how insecure and irrelevant do you have to be to be name-calling behind the sweet safety of your keyboard?
I like the wide stance, but it needs to look way more aggressive. It needs to stand out like the Raptor. It’s time for GM to once again be the leader rather than being just good enough.
The body overall looks too dated, I’m not falling for the fact that they will slap the front-end of an all new 2021 Hummer to a 2007 Silverado Crew Cab, surely there will be far more to see in May than what is shown here.
This will look nowhere close to what the actual hummer EV will look like given one fact that we know for certain! The Hummer EV will feature 3 Windsheild Wipers!!! thus a short widescreen window will be up front with similarly short sidewindows. From there there can be speculation on if it will be sloped or vertical, and we know any hummer will feature a short bed, not the standard bed pictured here. GM Authority, please rerender with Widescreen and short bed
