The GMC Hummer EV pickup offers a combination of bold styling, practicality, off-road prowess, and super-car-levels of all-electric performance. As a continuation of the legendary Hummer nameplate, comparisons between the Hummer EV pickup and older Hummer generations is inevitable. Now, we’re taking a look at how the new all-electric supertruck lines up to the Hummer H1, Hummer H2 SUT, and Hummer H3T in terms of exterior dimensions and interior dimensions.
Exterior Dimensions
Outside, the GMC Hummer EV looks the part of a big, burly off-roader pickup. The styling naturally exaggerates the truck’s size, but as we can see from the official figures listed below, it isn’t all just visual trickery – the Hummer EV pickup really is quite big, out-sizing every other Hummer model included in this comparison in literally every way.
Although the Hummer H3T is close to the Hummer EV pickup in terms of wheelbase and overall length, the Hummer EV still out-sizes the H3T in rest of the measurements listed. That said, the Hummer H1 does match the Hummer EV pickup with regard to ground clearance, with both models measuring in at 16 inches.
| Hummer H1 | Hummer H2 SUT | Hummer H3T | GMC Hummer EV | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wheelbase (in.) | 130.0 | 122.8 | 134.2 | 135.6 |
| Length (in.) | 184.5 | 189.8 | 212.7 | 216.8 |
| Width (in.) | 86.5 | 81.2 | 75.0 | 86.7 |
| Height (in.) | 77.0 | 79.2 | 72.1 | 81.1 |
| Front Track (in.) | 71.6 | 69.4 | 65.0 | 73.3 |
| Rear Track (in.) | 71.6 | 69.4 | 65.5 | 73.3 |
| Ground Clearance (in.) | 16.0 | 9.9 | 9.5 | 16.0 |
Interior Dimensions
With such large exterior dimensions, one would expect the GMC Hummer EV pickup to out-size its predecessors with regard to interior room as well. However, this is not the case, with the battery-powered off-roader falling around mid-pack in the majority of measurements.
That said, the Hummer EV pickup still offers the most front legroom (45.6 inches) and rear legroom (38.9 inches) in this comparison.
| Hummer H1 | Hummer H2 SUT | Hummer H3T | GMC Hummer EV | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Front Head Room (in.) | 44.4 | 40.5 | 40.7 | 42.5 |
| Front Leg Room (in.) | 44.1 | 41.3 | 41.9 | 45.6 |
| Front Shoulder Room (in.) | 77.1 | 66.4 | 54.4 | 63.9 |
| Front Hip Room (in.) | 23.1 | 62.9 | 53.9 | 60.5 |
| Rear Head Room (in.) | 42.9 | 39.7 | 39.5 | 38.6 |
| Rear Leg Room (in.) | 29.9 | 38.6 | 34.2 | 38.9 |
| Rear Shoulder Room (in.) | 77.1 | 66.3 | 54.0 | 64.0 |
| Rear Hip Room (in.) | 22.4 | 62.0 | 52.6 | 60.3 |

So the Hummer EV is big… I guess that is the point?
It’s massive and irresponsible. Nobody needs a vehicle the size of a Hummer H1 just to drive to their hairdresser appointment. Even if it’s an EV, it’s still grossly wasteful.
Normally I might not say that or even think that way but this vehicle is going to be devoured by Hollywood Global Warming warriors who live in 28,000 square foot homes and drive things like this to make themselves feel good about themselves. Despite their irresponsibility, they preach to the rest of society about reducing their carbon footprint when in reality, we contribute less to the problem than they do.
Where I live, 73 percent of our electricity comes from fossil fuels and the Hummer sucks up way more power from the communal tap than a true environmentalist should find acceptable.
Lot of anger in that post. Maybe focus that on why your town/state gets 78% of it’s energy from fossil fuels instead of a bunch of people living in Southern California choosing a zero emissions vehicle over a gas guzzler of the same size.
Andy – that is just his ‘mean-spirited’ way of Categorizing it…. For instance I consider the bounty that our Creator has provided us, with plenty of easily available energy, minerals, and Plant Life is best defined as “Prolific” and not “Wasteful”, as the self appointed big-shot environmentalists like to say…
You notice how none on the LEFT coast bother talking about the Amazon – Rain – Forest much? That’s because the Billions of tons of Carbon Dioxide required to keep the “LUNGS OF THE PLANET” healthy so that it can provide huge amounts of Beneficial Oxygen for the rest of the planet.
Ci2Eye,
This is an uncharacteristically angry comment from you.
No doubt that rich celebs that pontificate about climate change will buy this thing to signal their supposed virtue. Elites in Hollywood, academia, sports, media, etc. are so full of crap and almost all embody the holier-than-thou attitude Middle America and Working Class America have come to despise. So I’m with you there.
But I can’t see why you’re hating on the Hummer EV for a very small percentage of owners that buy them?
For what it’s worth here, I’m the head moderator over at HummerChat, the online forum home of the Hummer EV trucks. I’ve come to know a huge amount of Hummer reservation holders. Of the nearly 500 members, not one of them is a Hollywood climate activist with a 28,000 sq. ft. home. In fact, most are business owners, hard-core off-roaders, construction managers, IT developers, etc. They aren’t buying the vehicle to virtue-signal their environmental consciousness…they’re buying them because they’re amazing off-road beasts. They buy them because they’re Hummer fans, fans of 4-figure horsepower, fans of going off the beaten path. They’re fans of futuristic technology, especially the next generation in off-roading tech (the Hummer EV will blaze the trail for all future EV off-roaders).
No reason to stigmatize them and the trucks they’re about to drive because a small number of annoying airheads also reserved their own. And I also don’t think it’s up to you to decide what kind of vehicle people need. Lighten up a bit.
He seems upset but there is a legitimate concern about the market being forced into electric vehicles that, frankly, do not offer the same convenience and capability that an engine provides. Yes, I’m aware of your “average commute statistics” – save us from the same trope nonsense you EV defenders are ready to pull out the second someone brings up range issues – but many of us need a vehicle for a trip beyond the range of an EV and often times in emergencies. The technology isn’t there to do what we expect a car to do. It can do a lot of things well but by no means everything an average car can do well. People like Ci2eye want to be able to make these decisions for themselves. Many people agree with that sentiment.
@MB
Woah woah woah, cowboy. Hop on the bus, it’s time you got taken to school.
First off, I am a diehard V8 fanboi. LT4, Hellcat, Voodoo, Blackwing, Predator, 392, I love them all. Nearly in a religious sense, it’s an endless, passionate love. So I’m not an “EV defender” in the way you imply the term to mean. I’m a car guy, period.
Second, why are you assuming with no evidence that I don’t think there’s a legitimate concern with EVs being forced onto the market?? Because I like the Hummer? FYI, I’ve been on this site for a long time, and anyone who’s been here for a length of time knows that NO ONE expresses concerns about governmental interference more than me. I want the free market to dictate what cars people buy, not Congress. I think forcing EVs on people is asinine.
Third, you again put words into my mouth that I never said. Where did I talk about range stats or the convenience compared to ICE? I’m well aware that EVs are nowhere near as efficient or convenient as ICE…which is why I expect ICE vehicles to stay around for a long, long time. And that’s perfectly fine by me, I love ICE and would keep it around forever if I could.
And lastly, if people like Ci2Eye want to be able to make car-buying decisions for themselves, maybe people like Ci2Eye shouldn’t be telling OTHER people what vehicles they “need” to own, and let them own what they want to. Yes, or yes?
Incredibly, I said absolutely nothing that you claimed I said – I only made a comment about the stupidity of painting an entire buyer base with a broad brush because a small percentage of those buyers are pontificating Hollywood elites. That’s the only point I made, nothing about range, nothing about government legislating ICE cars away, nothing about “average commuter statistics.”
Now get off the damn bus, I’ve got better things to do 😉
I am not a Hollywood Global Warming Warrior, I am buying the First Edition Hummer EV, and we do have a 30 kW solar array on our 4800 square foot home that provides all the energy we use for our home, and 2 EV’s. We will only use grid power when we are on a road trip, and recently we have been producing 15% surplus electricity we feed back to the grid, on average 500 kWh a month feeds back to the grid. Is the Hummer Ev wasteful, Hell yes it is, So is an escalade, corvette or any other vehicle that provides more than basic transportation. so is flying on jetliners, cruising on ships, living in houses where you do not use every room daily. I mean where do we draw the line? BTW the area I live is primarily fed hydro power, but we have a couple of coal plants still running, and gas fired peaker plants but the last 20 years our area has only added renewable energy by law. I think EV’s are good for the environment, but that is not the reason I buy them, I buy them because they are better in almost every way to gas or diesel, cheaper to operate, less maintenance, less parts in general to break, no emissions system problems, etc… EV, can provide power you just cannot get from ICE engines and meet emissions, if an EV like the Hummer has 1000 lb ft of torque, you step on the throttle and all 1000 are there instantly, no waiting for a transmission to shift, no waiting for a turbo to adjust or engine management software to get out of the way, it just goes. No comparison to gas or diesel, thats why a giant Hummer EV can beat a C8 corvette 0-60 8 times out of 10. If the Corvette launches perfect it can win, but hard to do, even in the C8.
I think you using your 1st amendment right on Ford Authority is an excessive waste of words, I don’t know you but I know what I think you should type and devices you should use. This comment could’ve been written on a found piece of scrap paper and posted on a telephone pole. Where I live 73 percent of internet comments are wasteful commentators that suck up people’s valuable attention and ruin the communal focus on speech. You are just typing these things to make you feel better about yourself.
(I honestly think nobody should impede another’s freedoms, and NOBODY but the person that earned the dough should have a say in what that dough purchases, Hollywood “elite” especially. I don’t listen to them, and neither should you …in my opinion of course.)
The width dimensions for the ev where is that measured? I would bet if you only measured the body it would be far less. Plastic fender flares really shouldn’t count.
On the Hummer the outside of the tires is the widest point.
Well the mirrors would be the widest point but they don’t count that. It looks like the body would be the same width as the H2 just the tires and fenders stick out further. So for interior space they’re about the same. If they didn’t cost as much as a house, I’d get one, but I’ll stick with my H2. To me this is more of an Avalanche, not a Hummer.
The Hummer Ev will embarrass the old hummer H1, or H2 in nearly every way. Power, speed, features, payload, towing, comfort, capabilities, and its Electric ($$$). The old H1, was kind of cool, but 9K lbs, and 300 hp, is not that much fun. H2 is a bastard child with a bunch of parts bin parts, modified frame, etc. I though it was cool in the early 2000’s, but looking at it now mechanically, this was GM at its Worst. H3, don’t get me started… The Hummer Ev, is not any of those things, it has exclusive structure, and is unibody instead of body on frame, will be multiple X stiffer in bending and twisting moments while having a lighter structure (before you hang the + or – 2200lb battery underneath) . Yup, its expensive, but you get what you pay for, price out those features, and what you find out is the Hummer EV at $112K is quite reasonably priced. When calculating the cost of your H2, don’t forget to add the fuel cost, maintenance cost, and repairs (I am sure it gets repaired often) . I would guess H2, is about $0.50 a mile to drive with fuel and maintenance, a modern Sierra 2500HD with Duramax is about $0.28 per mile (I own a fleet of them), Hummer will be about $0.10 a mile charged at home. Hummer Ev first real maintenance comes at 100K miles and consists of 5 quarts of synthetic ATF for the front and rear drive units, and 150K miles change the coolant, other than that its just tires, wiper blades, and fun…
Not better at towing. Reason is battery capacity is not there yet but that’s the same with any truck EV right now. You will get roughly 1/25 or less mileage while towing anything significant so diesel/gas have advantage there, for now. Other benefits with H1/H2, gas/diesel, not so easy to find charging stations out and about. Off roading, can bring along extra fuel, charging…not so easy. Speed, in an offroader I could care less. I love the H2, I love that it’s slow. It doesn’t have to be quick. H1 isn’t 9K lbs. more like 7200. Actually, I prefer the Cybertruck over the Hummer EV. It’s much better value. You can get the AWD plus autopilot for 60k, save a bunch of money, plus bigger bed with no wheel wells. And, the number 1 reason the Cybertruck is better is stainless steel body. It will still look brand new and rust free 40 years from now. Not to mention dent/scratch resistant body.
My H2 is paid for and is cheap to repair. I’ll save way more just keeping it going vs. spending 100k (or even 60k on a Cybertruck). Actually plan on getting another H2 for backup. From what I’ve read on hummer forums, not too many are liking the new Hummer EV. It’s mostly a Hummer by name. My H2 was actually built at AM General (with GM parts of course).
Come on, lets not spread EV FUD… If the Hummer EV has a 350 mile range and you put a 10k lb airstream behind it, the range will drop to 120-150 miles, that is true…. this is the major decision maker for an EV pickup, if you are a family that pulls a big trailer around often, EV technology might not be ready for you seamlessly, but if you pull it 500 miles once a year, ya, you have a couple charging stops, but that is no biggie for the other 364 days in the year of pure pleasure. For me I pull heavy trailers, but very short distances, never more then 20 miles, so its not an issue for me.
I cannot comment on Cybertruck because Tesla has not built a production model yet to evaluate, the Concept they built 2 years ago was fake, it had Model X rear performance motor in the back, and Model 3 performance rear motor in the front, and had a full length tube frame, no welded exoskeleton, you can read about it in Motortrend, they were given behind the scenes to watch it be built. Like Elon says “concepts are easy” “production is hard” Let’s wait and see when Tesla starts production of Cybertruck sometime next year and see if it meets the specs, and price? If it does hit the those targets I agree with you, it will be the best value if you can tolerate the looks. I think it will be more like the $35K model 3, they will build a few and lose money, and then quickly raise the price.
I think you have that backwards the Hummer EV was fake the Cybertruck was real at reveal. It actually works and was not CGI. Towing, this is truck country so big shoes to fill. 350 mile range, you’ll get like 100 miles at most towing, that’s not FUD that’s a fact. That’s not good at all and won’t work for most who need a truck. For those that never haul anything it’s fine. The fact is if you need to haul anything, you’re better off with diesel or gas for the time being, until they start putting more battery capacity in these. You would need 1000 plus range of normal driving capacity to meet what a gas/diesel truck can do with one tank of gas not to mention, refill in a matter of a few minutes. Not saying EV isn’t the future, it’s just a long ways off from practical.
EV isn’t necessarily the future. Hydrogen or synthetic might be the future. EV is an example of what happens when political considerations put their thumb on the scale of the market.
The other thing that gets annoying is comparing the transition from ICE to EV to the transition from horses to automobiles. The analogy doesn’t hold. With the horse to automobile transition, new technology replaced all the functions of the horse and buggy with even more capabilities. EV doesn’t even satisfy the current capabilities of ICE cars let alone extend what a car is capable of doing.
I think the ‘thumb on the scales thing’ benefited Hydrogen vehicles for too many decades….. They’ve had their Chance…. Of course China and Japan might be able to eventually do something with the technology – but to me it is a too complicated and inefficient way to push a vehicle down the street.
Natural Gas vehicles only required Hardened Valve Trains to be fully practical. Home Refuelers were ‘almost’ perfected 20 years ago, and are far less daunting a challenge than efficient Hydrogen generation at home is now.
That’s why I said EV, EV could be hydrogen powered too. But it’s early and everything now is early adopter pricing so count me out. I’m too poor.
Getting back to measuring the EV width, I just checked on my H2 width in various places. The widest is of course the mirrors while extended (98.5″) and collapsed (86.5″). Of course they usually don’t count the mirrors or they are included as a separate figure. From the outside track if that is where they are measuring the EV truck, the H2 with stock tires is 83.5″ so 81.2″ is incorrect. I know the brochures indicate 81.2″, they may have only measured the body not the tire track. However with stock side steps, the width is 85.5″ which I think should count as that is not collapsable and part of the truck and it’s factory. But to fit thru anything you need at least 86.5″ with mirrors collapsed for the H2.
The other thing I don’t really like is the roof. Had a few vehicles with removable tops and it’s great at first but then I found it was too much hassle. Rather just have a hard top with large sunroof. Plus you need all that space up front to store them. And the SUV, can’t believe they didn’t include a 3rd row but maybe that option is coming. The SUV is kind of pointless, might as well just get the truck, can probably get a topper for the bed and then have more covered cargo than the suv.
