GREAT MANEUVERABILITY
The 4-Wheel Steer capability not only enables CrabWalk, but also allows all four wheels to work together to provide a smaller turning circle. 4-Wheel Steer — available on all three GMC EVs — enables CrabWalk. At low speeds, CrabWalk turns the rear wheels in the same direction as the front wheels, allowing diagonal movement of the vehicle. “Try parking it and turning around with a tight turn to see how it drives.

GMC HUMMER EV PICKUP
The bold and capable GMC HUMMER EV Pickup started the GMC EV revolution. Chief Engineer Al Oppenheiser is one of the team members who helped develop the amazing pickup and followed that up with the equally impressive SUV. “The GMC HUMMER EV Pickup had one mission from its inception — take away any reason why someone would not consider an electric off-road Supertruck,” he says. Mission accomplished.

The Infinity Roof’s four modular sky panels and front I-bar are removable to create an open-air experience.
To get over or out of a tough spot, initiate Extract Mode to help surmount obstacles. For a different type of thrill, engage the available Watts to Freedom and unleash the HUMMER EV Pickup’s astounding acceleration: available 0–60 mph in approximately 3 seconds
Like Gillespie, Oppenheiser encourages people to get behind the wheel and experience the GMC EVs. “I think one of the best things about the GMC HUMMER EVs is the rear-steering capability, which provides 10 degrees of rear steer to help offer a turning circle similar to a much smaller vehicle,”

GMC HUMMER EV SUV
If you crave the open road or trail, but need the security and protection of enclosed space, the GMC HUMMER EV SUV was designed with you in mind, offering many of the same features — CrabWalk, Extract Mode and Watts to Freedom, for example — as its pickup counterpart.
At the same time, the SUV offers its own unique benefits. “The SUV is arguably the more nimble of the two GMC HUMMER EVs,” Oppenheiser says. It has a shorter wheelbase than the HUMMER EV Pickup and a higher departure angle, which could make it even more desirable for off-road enthusiasts. And with nearly 82 cu. ft. [81.80 cu. ft.
To move passengers and cargo alike, the GMC HUMMER EV SUV offers an available 830 hp and 11,500 lb-ft of torque (based on GM estimates) and an EPA-estimated 314 miles of range.
As with the other GMC EVs, Oppenheiser urges drivers to get behind the wheel of the SUV to experience all the incredible capabilities and appreciate how the purposeful technology helps make this vehicle enjoyable to drive. “Drive the HUMMER EV SUV in low-speed maneuvers to see how surprisingly nimble the vehicle is, which makes the SUV experience in the GMC HUMMER EV game-changing,” Oppenheiser says.
