The continuation of the Hummer H3 lineup was expected. However, the manufacturer managed to surprise its fans with a very unconventional solution. The Hummer EV SUV off-road vehicle will lose its internal combustion engine. Hummer is becoming an electric vehicle. Sounds powerful. And attractive.
Hummer EV SUV – What are the manufacturer’s prospects
The new model was officially introduced in 2021. But mass production is only planned for 2023. And this point is quite disappointing. As the manufacturer has officially announced the technical specifications and fully revealed the design with interior trim.
Within 2 years, Chinese or perhaps European brands will definitely come up with something more interesting and very similar to the Hummer EV SUV. And it’s not a fact that the style in the automotive industry won’t change significantly over this period. It’s clear that the shapes of the Hummer H3 look unappealing on cars from other brands. But some buyers will definitely switch to competitors within 2 years if there are interesting offers.
Another point that concerns buyers is the electric motor without support for an internal combustion engine. The Hummer EV SUV is interesting for city driving. But for off-road adventures in forests and mountains – it’s quite unserious. Perhaps the manufacturer will offer a set of solar panels or a set of replaceable batteries for extreme enthusiasts. But in the presented version, the off-road vehicle looks inadequate.
Technical specifications of the Hummer EV SUV
At the off-road vehicle presentation, it was announced that the new model can accelerate from zero to 100 km/h in 3.5 seconds. And one battery charge will be enough for 500 kilometers of driving. For 2021 technologies, this is quite good. Perhaps in 2 years, these figures will improve significantly.
A plus for the General Motors brand is the decision to release several models within one lineup. Their differences lie in engine specifications and configurations. This is convenient for buyers with different budgets. Now, we just need to wait 2 years and resist the urge to buy other brands’ off-road vehicles.
