2026 GMC Hummer EV SUV Review, Pricing, and Specs
Now under GMC's stewardship, the Hummer brand is not shy about being extra. As such, the Hummer EV SUV goes big in some notable ways: mega horsepower numbers, tons of ground clearance and suspension travel, and a heap of tech features aimed at serious off-roading. Plus, everything about it simply looks imposing. Riding on a shorter wheelbase than its pickup sibling, the EV SUV is made even more maneuverable with four-wheel steering that enables the trick CrabWalk mode, which also has benefits when parallel parking. With range estimates topping out above 300 miles, this five-seat SUV has the ability to charge up quickly and plenty of juice to take the path less taken or handle a long road trip—if you can resist the urge to floor it everywhere.
What's New for 2026?
The big news for the 2026 Hummer EV SUV is more power (as if it needed it), but we don't yet know how much more. While the Hummer EV Pickup 3X's output jumps to 1160 horsepower from an even 1000, GMC hasn't released power figures for the 3X SUV, which currently sits at 830 horsepower. The 2026 Hummers get a new four-wheel-steering mode called King Crab that's supposed to enhance off-road maneuverability. And because the new feature is implemented in software, it can be added to prior-year Hummer EVs through an over-the-air update. GMC is also adding a Carbon Fiber Edition with—you guessed it—carbon-fiber exterior trim as well as full-carbon wheels that help drop the claimed 60-mph time to 2.8 seconds. It's available on the 3X trim and comes only in Magnus Gray Matte paint with a Velocity Ember interior color scheme. The updated Hummers are also now capable of bidirectional charging, targeting either another vehicle or a home.
Pricing and Which One to Buy
The price of the 2026 GMC Hummer EV SUV is expected to start around $100,000 and go up to $108,000 depending on the trim and options.
Hummer EV2X
$100,000 (est)
Hummer EV3X
$108,000 (est) 0 $25k $50k $75k $100k $125k $150k $175k
We'd stick with the EV2X, as its options are identical to the pricier EV3X's. The difference comes down to power, with the EV3X getting an extra motor that helps generate a lot more horsepower. The EV3X also comes with torque vectoring four-wheel drive.
EV Motor, Power, and Performance
The EV2X has a dual-motor setup that generates 570 horsepower and what GM claims is 7400 pound-feet of torque. The EV3X has a trio of motors (one up front and two out back) with a claimed 830 ponies and 11,500 pound-feet. However, we've already explained why those incredible torque claims are misleading. Compared with the pickup truck, the SUV has a shorter wheelbase (126.7 inches versus 135.6), which should make it more maneuverable in parking situations and out on the trails. It also inherits our favorite off-road goodies from the truck version, including four-wheel steering with CrabWalk and an adjustable air suspension with Extract mode that can raise it six inches. GMC also pulls at our heartstrings with a full-size spare tire mounted on the rear gate. Plus, there's an optional Extreme Off-Road package that brings special hardware that includes 18-inch wheels on 35-inch all-terrain tires, extra underbody protection, low-mounted cameras for improved visibility while maneuvering, enhanced axles with heavy-duty components, a locking front differential, and rear motors that can electronically mimic a locked diff.
0–60-MPH Times
In our testing, the most powerful Hummer EV SUV hit 60 mph in 3.4 seconds, which is seriously quick for any machine, let alone one this big and heavy. It's likely to get even quicker thanks to the as-yet-undisclosed power boost coming for the 2026 3X model, especially if it's the new Carbon Fiber Edition fitted with composite wheels.

Range, Charging, and Battery Life
We don't yet have numbers for the 2026 model, but the EPA estimates the 2025 Hummer EV SUV maxes out at 315 miles of range, with a low of 282 miles when equipped with mud terrain tires. We only saw 250 miles of range from its 170-kWh battery pack in our 75-mph highway test. Recharging can be quick, however. The SUV's 800-volt architecture gains 100 miles of range in 14 minutes using a DC fast-charger. In our testing, the Hummer SUV required 128 minutes to charge from 10 to 90 percent and averaged a pull of 78 kilowatts. Otherwise, GMC says that a level 2 charger replenishes the pack at up to 19.2 kilowatts, providing 30 miles of range in an hour.
Fuel Economy and Real-World MPGe
The EPA hasn't released any fuel economy information for the 2026 Hummer EV SUV yet, but the most efficient 2025 model earned ratings of 59 MPGe city, 46 MPGe highway, and 53 MPGe combined. MPGe stands for miles per gallon of gas equivalent, an EPA metric that estimates PHEV and EV vehicle fuel efficiency. For more information about the Hummer EV SUV's fuel economy, visit the EPA's website.
Interior, Comfort, and Cargo
The interior of the Hummer EV SUV is part rugged and part sci-fi. Its three-dimensional dashboard boasts both vertical and horizontal air vents and a pair of large displays that include a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster. Rather than frustrate users for the sake of appearances, the Hummer has lots of hard buttons and physical switchgear, including a thick T-shaped shifter and a rotary drive-mode selector on the center console. Some interior materials feel a bit too utilitarian; those lower down on the dash and door panels look and feel out of place in a vehicle this expensive. Another defining feature of the Hummer's cabin is its available removable roof panels. Called the Infinity Roof, the system allows users to lift off the four transparent Sky Panels and the I-bar above the front-seat passengers. Along with storage under the load floor, the SUV Hummer boasts an expansive 82 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seat folded, but the high cargo floor makes it tough to load heavy items.

Infotainment and Connectivity
The Hummer's cutting-edge electric technology is complemented by a large 13.4-inch touchscreen infotainment system and extensive connectivity options. The system can handle navigation, both on- and off-road. A 14-speaker Bose sound system comes standard, as does a subscription-based Wi-Fi hotspot and a wireless smartphone charging pad. The SUV Hummer is also available with a 6.0-kW onboard generator that can be used to power all sorts of equipment and even charge other EVs.
Safety and Driver-Assistance Features
The Hummer EV SUV comes with an enhanced version of GM's Super Cruise hands-free driving system, as well as a host of driver-assistance technology that currently graces many mainstream models. For more information about the GMC Hummer EV SUV's crash-test results, visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) websites. Key safety features include:
Standard forward-collision warning and automated emergency braking
Standard lane-departure warning and lane-keeping assist
Standard adaptive cruise control
Warranty and Maintenance Coverage
The Hummer EV SUV comes with a similar warranty to other General Motors products, which means three-year/36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper coverage and five-year/60,000-mile powertrain coverage.
Limited warranty covers three years or 36,000 miles
Powertrain warranty covers five years or 60,000 miles

Google launches its own ‘MagSafe' with PixelSnap
Google announced its own version of 'MagSafe' called PixelSnap, which allows magnetic accessories to work with the newly launched Pixel 10 series of devices. The company's announcement comes nearly five years after Apple announced its own slew of magnetic accessories with the iPhone 12 in 2020. The company said that through PixelSnap, you can attach wireless chargers, stands, grips, and much more to the Pixel 10. It is also releasing its own PixelSnap cases and compatible accessories. The simplest accessory is a Ring Stand, which attaches to the phone like a puck, and you can pull the ring to use it as a stand. All new Pixel devices are compatible with the Qi2 wireless standard. The Pixel 10 Pro XL has 25W wireless charging compatibility, while all the other devices — the Pixel 10, 10 Pro, and the 10 Fold — have 15W wireless charging compatibility. Google is launching a new PixelSnap charger along with an optional stand. You can use the standalone charger while laying down your phone, or if you want to use your phone while charging, or display home control widgets, you can use the stand. The PixelSnap cases start at $49.99, the PixelSnap Ring Stand is priced at $29.99, the PixelSnap charger costs $39.99, and the PixelSnap charger costs $69.99.

Tech, chip stock sell-off continues as AI bubble fears mount
Tech stocks fell for a second day on Wednesday as investors sold off a slew of tech names amid concerns over the sustainability of the AI boom and a recent market rotation away from some of this year's biggest winners. Among the Magnificent Seven Big Tech stocks, Nvidia (NVDA) was down about 0.8%, and Alphabet (GOOGL, GOOG) stock fell about 0.6%. Amazon (AMZN), Apple (AAPL), and Meta (META) shares fell over 1%. Chip stocks Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and Broadcom (AVGO) dropped more than 2%; Micron (MU) shares plummeted more than 5%. CoreWeave (CRWV), the AI data center company that rents computing power to Microsoft (MSFT) and Meta — making it essentially an AI pure play — also dropped nearly 4%. Palantir (PLTR), a defense tech stock that's seen a major upswing from the AI boom, sank nearly 2%, extending its recent losing streak. The rotation out of AI-linked stocks comes as sentiment soured this week on the market for artificial intelligence, fueled in part by a recent report from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and commentary from OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. Researchers for MIT's Project NANDA authored a report released this week that said 95% of companies it studied are getting no return on AI. The findings of the report were first detailed by Fortune on Monday. That report followed commentary from OpenAI's Altman shortly after the ChatGPT-maker finished out its latest multibillion-dollar funding round, with the CEO telling reporters that he believes there's an AI bubble, a diversion from his prior characterizations. 'When bubbles happen, smart people get overexcited about a kernel of truth,' he said. 'Are we in a phase where investors as a whole are overexcited about AI? My opinion is yes." DA Davidson analyst Gil Luria likened the changing market sentiment to a pendulum. 'This is really just pendulum swinging back,' he told Yahoo Finance on Wednesday. AI stocks have taken off in recent months after a rocky start to the year. A new, cost-effective AI model from Chinese firm DeepSeek released in January cast doubt on the massive sums of money Big Tech was spending to build out AI infrastructure to power the technology — and sent tech stocks tumbling. Two rounds of earnings updates from some of the biggest AI plays in the market and more clarity on Trump's trade policies have since quelled those fears. Investors applauded recent quarterly reports from Big Tech firms Alphabet, Meta, and Amazon, which surpassed Wall Street's expectations as the companies said AI boosted their underlying businesses. That news overrode the fact that those companies also raised their forecasts for spending on AI infrastructure. 'The AI trade was getting so expensive that all it took was some comment from Sam Altman to make the investment community take some profits off the table,' Luria said. Luria added that 'the reality is that AI still has limited applications' beyond consumers talking to AI chatbots and using the tools as a search engine. Some AI bulls, however, maintain faith in the technology's ability to fuel markets to new highs. 'We are still in the early days of the AI Revolution as the use cases are just starting to massively expand as more companies recognize the value creation being driven by a handful of tech companies led by the Godfather of AI [Nvidia CEO] Jensen [Huang] and Nvidia,' wrote Wedbush analyst Dan Ives in a note to investors Wednesday. He added that 'the tech bull cycle will be well intact at least for another 2-3 years given the trillions being spent on AI.' More will be revealed when leading AI chipmaker Nvidia reports its quarterly earnings results after the bell next week on Aug. 27. Laura Bratton is a reporter for Yahoo Finance.

California voters support EV tax incentives, but are wary of sales mandates says poll
California drivers don't want to lose their electric vehicle tax incentives, but even voters in one of the bluest states are wary about reviving plans to phase out gas cars. Voters are split down the middle on whether California should stick to its guns on its Trump-blocked plans to phase out sales of gas cars by 2035, according to an exclusive POLITICO-Citrin Center-Possibility Lab poll. Only 46 percent of the more than 1,400 registered voters surveyed said they support the policy, while 47 percent said no. Yes, there was an obvious partisan split: 60 percent of Democrats said they backed the phase-out, compared with 40 percent of independents and 31 percent of Republicans. But the results offer a note of caution for Gov. Gavin Newsom, who directed the California Air Resources Board to start writing new vehicle emissions rules after Republicans revoked the state's sales mandates for cars and heavy-duty trucks in June. 'None of us really like the idea of government intervening to take something away from us,' said Dan Sperling, a former California Air Resources Board member and director of the University of California, Davis' Institute for Transportation Studies. 'That's even the most liberal of us.' Poll respondents are more bought into Newsom's plan to backfill the soon-to-be-defunct $7,500 federal EV tax credit. Nearly two-thirds — 64 percent — said they would support state-funded tax incentives once the federal subsidy ends Sept. 30, as part of the Trump administration's ongoing attacks on clean energy policy. That question again showed a partisan divide, with 80 percent of Democrats saying they back the approach, compared with 60 percent of independent voters and just 43 percent of Republicans. But the overall result bolsters Newsom's push to backfill incentives that the Biden administration used to coax drivers off fossil fuels, as he suggested using cap-and-trade revenues last year and directed state agencies to consider in a June executive order. But Jack Citrin, a veteran political science professor at UC Berkeley and partner on the poll, said a closer look at the poll results shows that Democrats need to keep affordability in mind. He pointed to the fact that 28 percent of respondents said they'd support new EV incentives only if gas prices aren't impacted and another 20 percent said they should be reserved for low-income buyers, reflecting the fact that cost of living was the top concern of voters polled. And 64 percent of respondents said gasoline prices are putting a significant, extreme or moderate burden on their household budgets. 'That reflects a concern with the cost of all of this,' Citrin said. 'Yes, we're for environmental protection. Yes, we're for all of this, just as long as it doesn't cost a lot.' The poll comes as state agencies released a joint report Tuesday with recommendations for countering Trump's assault, calling on lawmakers to bolster tax incentives, improve charging infrastructure and regulate facilities that attract polluting trucks, but offering few specific timelines or dollar figures. CARB Chair Liane Randolph framed the report — which Newsom asked for in his June order — as a first step in the state's defense against a hostile federal government. 'Clean air efforts are under siege, putting the health of every American at risk,' she said during a press briefing. 'California is continuing to fight back and will not give up on cleaner air and better public health.' Sperling called the report a surprisingly 'modest document,' and said it lacks the specificity he hoped to see. 'The word I would use is disconcerting,' Sperling said when asked about where California stands in its fight against Trump. The POLITICO-Citrin Center-Possibility Lab poll was fielded by TrueDot, the artificial intelligence-accelerated research platform, in collaboration with the Citrin Center and Possibility Lab at UC Berkeley and POLITICO. The public opinion study, made possible in part with support from the California Constitution Center, was conducted in the field between July 28 and Aug. 12. The sample of 1,445 registered voters was selected at random by Verasight, with interviews conducted in English and Spanish, and includes an oversample of Hispanic voters. The modeled error estimate for the full sample is plus or minus 2.6 percent. The policy influencer study was conducted from July 30 to Aug. 11, among 512 subscribers to POLITICO Pro, and the modeled error estimate is plus or minus 3.7 percent. Like this content?
