2026 GMC HUMMER EV: Redefining Supertruck Performance with Power, Precision, and Innovation


The 2026 GMC HUMMER EV isn't just back—it's bolder, smarter, and faster than ever. As the world’s first and only all-electric supertruck, GMC's HUMMER EV has once again redefined what’s possible in EV innovation, off-road agility, and high-performance luxury. From jaw-dropping speed to game-changing technology, the 2026 model is poised to dominate roads and trails alike—firmly establishing itself as the future of American electric performance.

The Evolution of a Supertruck

Since its groundbreaking debut, the GMC HUMMER EV has carved its own niche, pioneering a new era of electrified off-road dominance. For 2026, the supertruck returns with major updates that amplify its already legendary capabilities. A standout among these is the all-new, software-enabled King Crab Mode—a rear-wheel-steer feature that offers unprecedented agility on challenging terrain. Now standard across the 2X and 3X Pickup and SUV trims, this advanced mode is being rolled out as a complimentary over-the-air (OTA) update to owners of 2022–2025 models.

"When King Crab is engaged, the HUMMER EV’s rear wheels turn faster and more significantly than the front wheels, giving drivers unmatched control when maneuvering around obstacles or rock crawling," said Al Oppenheiser, GMC HUMMER EV Chief Engineer. “This is more than a mode; it's a promise fulfilled—an off-road dream delivered through software integration and cutting-edge engineering.”

This feature fulfills GMC’s earlier teaser about a “Mystery Mode” and reflects the brand’s commitment to ongoing innovation based on owner input. In essence, it’s the HUMMER EV community helping shape the future of their vehicle through digital evolution.

A Supercharged Speed Machine: The Carbon Fiber Edition

For those seeking adrenaline, the 2026 HUMMER EV Carbon Fiber Edition is the fastest HUMMER ever produced—ripping from 0 to 60 mph in a blistering 2.8 seconds. Enabled by a 24-module battery, refined propulsion calibration, and advanced hardware optimization, this pickup is as ferocious as it is visually striking.

This exclusive edition boasts the Magnus Gray Matte exterior paired with a dynamic Velocity Ember interior—delivering a visual palette designed to evoke motion and performance. Each model is equipped with:

22-inch black carbon fiber wheels

All-terrain tires

Carbon fiber mirror caps and skid plate accents

Black approach shield and emblems

SUV models include a 22-inch spare carbon fiber wheel

Limited in production and available only on 3X Pickups and SUVs, the Carbon Fiber Edition exemplifies elite design merged with next-level electric power.

Next-Level Tech & Charging Capability

Tech-forward doesn’t begin to describe the 2026 HUMMER EV. This latest model introduces bidirectional charging—allowing vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-home power transfers. Whether helping charge another EV or powering your home during an outage, the HUMMER EV is now more versatile than ever before.

Super Cruise™, GMC’s hands-free driving technology, is also enhanced with seamless Google Maps integration for easier lane guidance and route planning. New hands-on mode features help maintain lane centering and adaptive cruise control, adjusting speeds based on traffic and posted speed limits.

Powerhouse Performance, Reinvented

Under the hood—or rather, under the frame—the 2026 HUMMER EV 3X Pickup packs a serious punch: 1,160 horsepower and a mind-bending 13,000 lb-ft of torque, making it the most powerful truck in its class. Optimized damper tuning ensures an even smoother, more refined ride across all terrains.

Inside, a 13.4-inch diagonal infotainment screen with split-view capability keeps essential vehicle information front and center. With Google Built-In, entertainment and productivity apps like Chrome, Prime Video, and GameSnacks are easily accessible while charging. And with OnStar connectivity, HUMMER EV drivers receive intelligent routing, real-time voice assistance, and seamless over-the-air updates.

Style Meets Substance

The 2026 HUMMER EV isn’t just about rugged strength—it’s about premium luxury and personal expression. New for this model year are two additional exterior shades: Coastal Dune and Auburn Matte, along with two fresh interior themes: Granite Drift and Stealth Eclipse, allowing owners to customize their ride with bold elegance.

Made in America, Ready for the World

Production of the 2026 GMC HUMMER EV Pickup and SUV begins this summer at GM’s Factory ZERO Assembly Center in Detroit-Hamtramck, Michigan—home to GMC’s electric vehicle legacy, including the HUMMER EV Pickup, HUMMER EV SUV, and Sierra EV.

The 2026 HUMMER EV will be available at GMC EV-certified dealers later this year. Pricing and EPA-estimated range figures will be released closer to launch.
