The GM design team has shared an early preliminary sketch that it used during the design process for the GMC Hummer EV pickup.

This rendering is described by GM as an ideation sketch, which likely means it was used while the automaker was still deliberating on the final design for the production GMC Hummer EV pickup. It looks quite a bit different than the vehicle that will hit U.S. roads later this year, incorporating angular bodywork, large alloy wheels and a small black-painted tailgate with red Hummer lettering, small square LED taillights mounted high up on the rear fascia. This design sketch also doesn’t have features like the GMC MultiPro tailgate, glass Infinity Roof, power rear drop glass and power tonneau cover.
The design pictured in this sketch also has a lot in common with the production GMC Hummer EV, though. The overall silhouette of the vehicle is the same, while the doors and greenhouse section also have a very similar structure.
The GMC Hummer EV Edition 1, which is the first variant of the EV pickup that will be available, features a three-motor setup producing more than 1,000 horsepower, enabling the 9,000-pound off-roader to sprint from zero to 60 mph in three seconds. A 200 kWh battery gives the pickup an estimated driving range of 350 miles per charge. The vehicle will ride on the dedicated GM BT1 large electric vehicle platform and will be produced at the GM Factory Zero plant in Hamtramck, Michigan. The vehicle also utilizes GM’s Ultium lithium-ion battery design and new Ultium Drive electric motors.
The 2022 Hummer EV Edition 1 will have a starting MSRP of $112,595. The first customer deliveries should commence in either the late fall or winter of this year.

Yeah, they should have done smth like that with the rear end. Because the production’s rear looks like dodge,ford or whatever. They are all the same from behind.
It’s a pickup, and all pickups have the same general purpose, so they almost all looks the same. When you make the design different you usually just take away usability or utility.
That’s even uglier than the production model.
What an ugly turd, GM and design oxymoron . Look at auto history, what vehicles are most sought after, not sharp and edgy or square, The European have the us beat to hell and back.
This is America not Europe you morons.
The Question to me is GM just recalled some of the EV’s with electric fires so you had to park them outside.. We just had a big electric battery fire here in Il. The Fire Dept. didn’t know how to put out the fire. They were told to use Porter Cement dust to smother it. So from what I think if I understand it. Nobody has a answer on how to put out the fire. Don’t you think the car makers should tell the Fire Dept. how to put out the fire or do they have to carry around Cement dust, what about when it’s raining.
“Futuristic “ or just purposefully and unnecessarily weird? What’s behind the big push for disharmony in everything nowadays? What are they trying to train us to accept? Look around. It’s everywhere and in everything. Our senses and norms are being assaulted at every level. Pervasive perversion.
I kinda like it, but it looks like a Toyota FJ.
