I gotta tell you guys about this beast I finally got my hands on – the 2024 GMC Hummer EV SUV. This thing is a monster, a total unit, and I’m totally stoked about it. So, here’s the lowdown on how it all went.
First off, I started digging around online. Read a ton of reviews, watched a bunch of videos, you know, the usual. Everyone was hyping it up, saying it’s like nothing else out there. The buzz was that this thing was gonna be huge, bold, and basically, a game-changer. I kept seeing words like “rolling technology showcase” and “defies physics” – which, c’mon, who wouldn’t be intrigued?
Then, I saw that these bad boys were finally hitting dealerships. I called up my local dealer and booked a test drive. When I got there, I was looking at the Edition 1, the top-of-the-line version with three motors. I mean, yeah, the base model starts at around $80k, but this one, it’s closer to 100 grand. But, like, it’s a Hummer, right?
Test Drive Time!
When I got into the SUV I tried pressing the start button. I made a few attempts, but the car didn’t start. I asked the salesperson to try it himself, and he started the car on the first attempt. I told him that I couldn’t believe how he managed to start it on the first try. I asked him to shut it down so that I could try again, and he did. I made a few more attempts but had no luck. I’m guessing the electric vehicle has some advanced settings that I couldn’t figure out at the time.
After the salesperson showed me how to start the car, I finally got to take it for a spin. The acceleration is insane, and it was able to hit 60 mph in 3.5 seconds. This thing is heavy, like really heavy at 10,000 pounds, but it moves like a sports car. It’s wild. And the handling? For something this size, it’s surprisingly nimble. I felt like I was playing a video game but in real life.
Off-Road Prowess
Then, of course, I took it to the trail. I’ve heard a lot about its off-road capabilities. With its shorter wheelbase compared to the pickup version, this SUV is supposed to be even better off-road. We’re talking about a 49.6-degree approach angle, a 49.0-degree departure angle, and a 34.4-degree breakover angle. Basically, it can climb over anything.
I put it to the test on some pretty rough terrain. Rocks, mud, steep inclines – you name it. This thing just ate it up. I swear, I could feel the power of those three motors working their magic. I felt like a king of the world.
Final Thoughts
After spending the whole day with the Hummer EV SUV, I was sold. I mean, I knew I wanted it before, but now, I need it. It’s not just a vehicle, it’s an experience. It’s a statement.
So, I went back to the dealership, talked numbers, and pulled the trigger. It was a big decision, no doubt, but I’m telling you, it’s worth it. I’ve been driving it for a few weeks now, and every time I get behind the wheel, it’s an adventure.
Now, some people say this thing is too big, too much. But hey, that’s the point, right? It’s a Hummer. It’s supposed to be over the top. And for me, that’s exactly what I was looking for.
- Pros:
- Insane power and acceleration
- Unbelievable off-road capability
- Head-turning design
- Loaded with tech
- Cons:
- Starting the electric car was hard.
- It’s pricey, no doubt
- It’s massive, so parking can be a challenge
But honestly, the pros far outweigh the cons. If you’re looking for a unique, powerful, and capable SUV, and you’re not afraid to make a statement, the 2024 GMC Hummer EV SUV is the way to go. Trust me, you won’t regret it. I know I don’t. Can’t wait to take it on more off-road adventures.
I’m excited to see how it performs in different conditions and I’ll definitely keep you guys updated on my Hummer journey. Stay tuned!
