GMC’s Hummer EV hits UAE and Kuwait streets: GMC Middle East has launched its Hummer EV pickup truck and SUV in UAE and Kuwait, according to a statement. The EVs are set to be introduced to other unspecified markets later this year.
The specs: The Hummer EV pickup comes in the EV1 and EV 3X models. Both models have three motors, a 529 km electric range, 1k horsepower, and 15.59k newton meters of torque. The SUV models also boast three engines, a 480 km electric range, 830 horsepower, and 15.59k newton meters of torque. The models feature 0-100 kmh performance in approximately 3 seconds for the pickup and 3.5 seconds for the SUV. The EVs come with different charging options, and can charge up to 80% in 12 or 22 hours, depending on the charger type.
The EVs have additional features: GMC’s Adaptive Air Suspension with Extract Mode lets the driver elevate the vehicle height by up to 149 mm, the statement adds. This extra clearance tackles tough off-road challenges, from sand dunes and boulders to water crossings.
They can crab walk too? The models include a four-wheel steer with the CrabWalk maneuver system, which allows the front and rear wheels to turn in the same direction at low speeds, allowing the EV to move more diagonally.
