This system pairs with the automaker's 20-module battery pack, providing 570 horsepower and 7,400 lb-ft of torque. That's more than enough power to go wherever your heart desires, the instant distribution of torque to the wheels ensuring responsive acceleration and plenty of traction on all terrains. Four-wheel drive is standard and pairs with selectable drive modes. For confidence on challenging terrains, you can activate the standard CrabWalk mode. This mode adjusts steering so you can move the SUV diagonally to traverse tight trails. To get out of or over tough spots, you can switch to Extract mode, which works with the model's adaptive Air Ride suspension to enhance ground clearance. Formidable Design Commanding the road with its bold presence, the new HUMMER EV SUV is a vehicle that won't pass unnoticed. This behemoth draws attention with flashy styling elements, including a rugged profile, signature LED lighting, and an LED lightbar on the grille spelling HUMMER. The wheels are huge and designed to take you over any type of terrain, but the style blends right in on bustling city streets. The interior is as exceptional as the exterior, offering unrivaled comfort to riders in both rows. Heated front and rear seats can keep you toasty in cold weather, and the front seats also boast power adjustments for optimized support. Tech features include a 13.4-inch center touchscreen with Google built-in and a 14-speaker Bose Surround audio system that allows you to blast music at full volume without losing sound quality. 2025 HUMMER EV SUV 3X Tri-Motor Powertrain If you like the 2X's features but want to enhance them with more power, you can't go wrong with the 3X model. Its main upgrade is the tri-motor powertrain with one front and two rear motors. This system pairs with the same 20-module battery pack and produces 830 horsepower and 11,500 lb-ft of torque, which is much more power than you can expect from any electric SUV. Watts to Freedom Beyond exceptional power, this trim also boasts standard Watts to Freedom.
