The 2022 GMC Hummer EV pickup truck has finally dropped cover, showing off the iconic nameplate’s transformation into an all-new, battery-driven off-roader. The new Hummer is offered exclusively with a short bed, crew cab body configuration, but what if GMC offered something else – something like a Hummer EV regular cab?
To find out, the folks over at Hummer Nation drew up this rendering, deleting the two rear doors and bringing the rear body panels in to shorten the pickup’s wheelbase.
“In creating our rendering, we tried to stay true to the proportions of the original Hummer EV pickup,” writes Hummer Nation. “So instead of removing a set of doors and lengthening the bed, we shortened the entire vehicle.”
With a shorter wheelbase, this Hummer EV Regular Cab would have an easier time navigating narrow trails, which, paired with features like four-wheel steering and CrabWalk mode, could make it quite impressive in the rough stuff.
Unfortunately, it appears as though General Motors will stick with the four-door body style when it comes to the new Hummer, which means this Hummer EV Regular Cab will remain nothing more than a rendering, at least for now. Nevertheless, we’d imagine that some pickup fans would still prefer the shorter two-door style seen here.
As a reminder, the 2022 GMC Hummer EV is scheduled to hit production next year, with a launch in the fall of the 2021 calendar year. The first model out the gates will be the top-trim Edition 1, which boasts 1,000 horsepower and 11,500 pound-feet of wheel torque, with the run to 60 mph accomplished in a mere three seconds. Following the Edition 1 will be three lower trims, including the EV3X, EV2X, and EV2.
The question is – would you prefer the Hummer EV Regular Cab model seen here, or the standard Crew Cab model already revealed? Let us know by voting in the poll below, and make sure to subscribe to GM Authority for more GMC Hummer news, GMC news, and around-the-clock GM news coverage.

GMC should have given it customers a choice and offered bother 4 and 2 door models. We know there’s a SUV model comes a 3 body style line up can only help GMC HUMMER sales
This render is dumb.
I believe that the Mad Scientists (C8.R) at my favorite auto manufacturer (GM) should develop an Environmental Safety Absorption Foam Shell that would work similarly to the way an Airbag works on a car, except it would go completely around the new Ultium Battery they’ve developed.
It would involve a thin metal encasement (shell) around the outside of the Ultium Battery with strategically placed impact sensors that’s filled with battery acid absorbing foam (similar to Fix-A-Flat or a Fire Extinguisher but solidifies) that, in the event of a car wreck, would encompass the Battery and absorb any acid from getting into the environment.

An airbag that encompasses the entirety of the batteries would have to preemptively predict a crash is imminent. If they can predict that before any sheet-metal bends; the effort is better spent to work on preventing the crash in the first place.
Hello V. The comment didn’t have anything to do with “Predicting” a crash. In case you haven’t noticed, the majority of accidents are caused by OTHER negligent or distracted drivers and not the responsible or attentive ones.
The comment or suggestion really has to do with Protecting the Environment from any Hazardous Chemicals from an Ultium Battery getting into the environment and causing extended traffic problems due to the specialized cleanup that may need to take place.
It would go head to head with the Bronco two door…
Are you serious? They are nowhere near each other in price range.
I wasn’t referring to the price ranges but more to do with comparable body styles…
One never knows as this rendering could be offered as a Chevrolet or potentially even a Cadillac.
I prefer regular cabs but this rendering just doesn’t look right.
