CONQUERING HERO

From their inception, the revolutionary GMC HUMMER EV Pickup and SUV have used the torturous trails, monstrous boulders and steep inclines of the world’s off-roading mecca—Moab, Utah—as their personal proving grounds.   

The Moab desert and its more than 1,000 miles of unforgiving terrain are legendary—and infamous—among off-roading enthusiasts.  

So, naturally, it was the perfect place for the automotive press to experience the HUMMER EV 3^X SUV’s off-roading prowess firsthand. Recently, some of the same engineers who honed the capabilities of the HUMMER EV SUV took journalists to Moab to show off the SUV’s off-roading mastery.  

Todd Hubbard, lead vehicle dynamics off-road performance engineer, said it best, “Moab is iconic for its challenging off-road trails, and a key location in the development and validation of the GMC HUMMER EV SUV. The HUMMER EV SUV is a master of maneuverability, tackling many of the trails of Moab with ease. With a shorter wheelbase than the Pickup, allowing for improved breakover and departure angles, and other common key features like 4-wheel steer, the HUMMER EV SUV is an off-road champion.”  

From behind the wheel, the media gained insights into how the SUV’s revolutionary features—including available UltraVision* and its class-exclusive underbody cameras, available Extract Mode* and 4-Wheel Steer with available CrabWalk*—left no boulder, trail or elevation unconquered.
