It’s safe to say the upcoming new GMC Hummer EV probably won’t look much like the original Hummer H1. While the large new electric truck and SUV will feature some Hummer design cues, it is being developed for the civilian market mainly, so it won’t be nearly as big and burly as the militaristic H1.
But what would a modern-day Hummer H1 look like if General Motors were to green-light such a product? Professional automotive designer Samir Sadikhov recently set out to answer the question, using his talents to render a futuristic take on the iconic military vehicle.
Sadikhov’s rendering has the same general shape and silhouette of the Hummer H1 and has the same front fascia, but that’s where most of the similarities end. His modern-day Hummer H1 features LED headlights, small and subtle black bumpers and large, trendy alloy wheels.
Sadikohov also envisions his fictional, modern-day Hummer H1 as featuring four-wheel steering. This is similar to the Jeep Hurricane concept’s innovative steering system and would give the extra-wide Hummer some additional maneuverability.
The rendering has removable roof sections, a feature that was found on the original Hummer H1 and that will allegedly appear on the production-ready GMC Hummer EV. Other notable items include the camera side-view mirrors and reimagined ‘Humvee’ branding on the front and rear ends.
We would love to see GM bring back the Hummer H1 with a vehicle based on Sadikhov’s rendering (he has designed a number of great-looking concept cars like the Genesis Essentia), but GM probably wouldn’t be interested in creating a vehicle quite this large again. That said, the GMC Hummer EV will arrive in a couple of years, so Hummer fans at least have something to look forward to.

This is what I’d buy.
That took a whole lot of imagination,
What next a Jeep Wrangler? Lol!
One piece windshield, clever!
GM doesn’t own the HUMVEE brand. Not likely that’s going to happen.
Looks Bad Ass
That would use a lot of Batteries HAHA
Speaking of “[social distancing]” that wide tire stance is the Prime example of 6 FT! If the radius around a person 18-90 is less than the width of this hummer H1; We’re ignoring the distance rule set forth from Trump, your local Governor!
The chances of the new Hummer looking this good are slim and none.
With that being said, if this is what we get…sign me up for two of them.
Looks too boring, Grey is the colour of depression. If I drive a Hummer, I want it look out in the crowd, not hiding in the grey cloud. The American car manufacturers should bring back artistic designs and beautiful color like their antique cars.
That required a significant amount of creative thinking,
I like your new car.
Great article. I’ve been checking this blog constantly and I’m impressed! Extremely useful information, especially the last part where wheel spinner made me process a lot of information. I have been looking for this information for a long time. thanks and good luck!
How do you feel about this game of Drift Hunters?
I recently stumbled upon your blog post about and I must say, it was incredibly helpful! As someone who loves taking solo pictures and struggles with finding the right captions, your insights and suggestions were a game-changer for me. The creativity and thoughtfulness behind each caption idea were truly impressive. I especially loved the one that said, “In the company of my thoughts, I find solace.
Your positivity and enthusiasm are truly inspiring.
FYI.
“HUMMER” brand name is owned by gm
gm built H2 and H3 versions and now HUMMER EV.
“HUMMVEE” is the Military version built by AM General, LLC–
no connection with gm at all!
“HUMMER H1” is the commercial version of the HUMMVEE built
solely by AM General, LLC with no connection with gm at all!
Obviously, re the rendition above, it cannot be labeled “HUMMVEE”
unless my former employer in Indiana decides to build it.
Don’t think that’s likely to happen.
Hummer H1 is a realy cool and luxurious feel vehicle. Hats off to engineers who has designed it.
