The 2023 GMC Hummer EV SUV will make its official debut in February of 2021, according to a report by HummerNation.com. The report quotes an article in the Detroit Free Press, which was given the information under condition of anonymity by dealers who attended a recent virtual dealer meeting.
The timeframe ties in with a claim by Ad Age that the Hummer EV SUV will be featured in an advertisement set to air during Super Bowl LV, scheduled to take place on February 7th 2021, one year after a similar ad for the Hummer EV pickup aired during Super Bowl LIV.
On November 10th 2020, GM Authority published a rendering of what the Hummer EV SUV might look like. Nine days later, GM provided a real-life glimpse of the new vehicle, which bears similarity to the rendering, at the Barclays 2020 Global Automotive Conference. On that occasion, the Hummer EV SUV was parked on stage behind GM Executive Vice President Global Product Development, Purchasing & Supply Chain, Doug Parks.
GM did not provide any new information about the Hummer EV SUV at the time, but it is expected to be mechanically identical to the pickup truck. That means it will have up to three electric motors, with a maximum output of 1,000 horsepower. With that configuration, the GMC Hummer EV can sprint from 0 to 60 mph in around three seconds.
Both vehicles will be based on GM’s EV-dedicated BT1 platform and be built at the former GM Detroit-Hamtramck facility, recently renamed to GM Factory ZERO, which will specialize in manufacturing electric vehicles.
The Hummer EV SUV is due to arrive in dealerships in the fall of 2022, a year after the the Edition 1 pickups are set to launch, and at about the same time as the EV3X trim of the pickup, though several months before the EV2X pickup (set to arrive in the spring of 2023) and more than a year in advance of the EV2 pickup (set to arrive in the spring of 2024).
The GMC Hummer EV SUV will likely have a similar price structure as the pickup variant, which will cost between $79,995 and $112,595 depending on trim and powertrain configuration. General Motors received 10,000 pre-orders for the Edition 1 pickup within ten minutes, and it is entirely possible that the same thing will happen when the SUV becomes available to pre-order.
During the aforementioned virtual dealer meeting, GMC chief Duncan Aldred stated that GMC will offer further EV models outside the Hummer sub-brand, set to include a pickup and a crossover.

Who cares, build better vehicles now with better interiors and fewer recalls!
No need to wait until February. We can see that vehicle clearly in the background, we can also predict that because it’s an SUV, that it will probably be more expensive than the truck itself. $???,???.??
This is really not the right time, to premiere such an exspensive new vehicle. Do they not know there is a pandemic going on? I agree with the writer who says, build better vechicles now. We don’t need two all electric vechicles right now. The infrastructure for produing the electric power is not up to doing so. The electric grid in certain states, is way under what is needed. Just make the existing gas vechicles better. AND NOT with start/stop, or AFM. They can doit. Reliying on an All Electric vecicle model, is just asking for more problems. Just think, when Joe Smoh has problems with his NEW EV. What do you think the dealers will say. “You didn’t change the oil enough? Thats just how crazy it will be.
The Hummer has already sold through it’s preorder production, so obviously the pandemic hasn’t stopped people from buying expensive vehicles. My dealer can’t keep a 2021 Escalade on their lot and the only 2021 Yukons I see on the road are the Denali. People are still willing to buy expensive vehicles and GM is more than wanting to sell them.
if the hummer has “sold” out so quickly and is a roaring success, why has gm refused to say how many we are talking about?
Because they’re debating adding more available reservations to first-year production. Which is a great problem to have, and backs Bigfoot’s point. Pretty obvious, really.
People who are searching for a vehicle in this price tag made more during the pandemic than any other year on record. I’m sorry, but you’re not the target audience for this vehicle.
Furtherso, lower income workers were hardest impacted by the pandemic…. Introducing an entry level ev would be great for competition, but there are less entry-level buyers looking to purchase new….. So… You made a horrible point.
no lower income person is looking to buy an EV.
but i think there are a lot more middle income people looking to buy an entry level EV than wealthy people looking for a $100K hummer.
at this point, gm is unable to build a profitable entry level EV so it is a moot point.
Agree Ryan,
This vehicle was never meant for most people that were affected most by COVID . The fact is there are more people than ever that can afford a $100,000 vehicle . I am not a GMC or Hummer fan boy at all , But the fact is , these things are going to fly off of dealer lots…..Mark my words .
GM can’t build a decent ICE vehicle, now they want to build Lectrics, gimme a break, you have to crawl before you walk.
GM can’t build a decent ICE vehicle? What world are you living in? You can always tell which people on the internet are the ones who “don’t get out much” or are completely unaware of what they are talking about.
I am so excited and anxious for the new Hummer! I have been driving mine since new in 2006, I am on the road every day of the year selling Real Estate and it has provided the safest travels for me! I have tried out other vehicles and they just won’t do! Waiting for my new one!
Sincerely,
