You Are What You Drive - A Bottom Line Review
By Tony Leopardo - The Car Guy © AutoWire.Net
What is a Hummer? The Hummer is a massive high performance all electric EV luxury SUV built in the General Motors Detroit truck assembly plant in Michigan, and sold worldwide by GMC. The Hummer's EV power comes from GM's advanced Ultium Battery Platform, and the 3X designation indicates it is the models top tier trim, utilizing a specialized tri-motor AWD all wheel drive system, rather than the standard dual motor setup. With a base window sticker price of around $105,000 to $108,000, this heavy duty 5 passenger vehicle combines electric high speed power with a host of military inspired off road capabilities.
Here are the key specifications & performance factors of a 2026 GMC 3X Hummer:
Powertrain: The 3X model has a tri-motor electric configuration with one motor in the front and two electric motors in the rear, providing electronic 4WD four wheel drive.
Power Output: Generates up to 830 HP horsepower and 11,500 lb-ft of torque.
Acceleration: Reaches 0 to 60 mph in approximately 3.5 seconds using the Watts to Freedom WTF launch mode, wink, wink.
Driving Range: GM estimated range is 310 miles on a full battery charge.
Charging: Built on an 800 volt DC fast charging architecture that supports rates up to 300 kW, so you can add 100 miles of driving range in only 10 minutes.
Signature Hummer features include:
CrabWalk: Has 4 wheel steering allowing diagonal movement, dubbed CrabWalk.
Extract Mode: Has an adaptive air suspension system that can lift the vehicle significantly higher for extra clearance in Extract Mode.
Infinity Roof: Includes 4 glass removable transparent sky panels that can be stored in the front trunk area, now called the frunk on electric vehicles.
Super Cruise: Offers advanced hands free driving assistance on compatible highways.
To promote this 2026 model this week GMC sent me a Hummer 3X to test drive and review. The base window sticker price for this 4x4 all electric SUV is $105,000. The options on the SUV are: the extreme off road package for $9,995 and the GM NACS DC charging adapter for $275. The manufacturer's suggested retail price, MSRP, including the $2,695 delivery charge is: $118,265.
After adding in the state and local sales tax, plus the DMV and dealer fees, the out the door and in your driveway total purchase price came to $133,048. At just 48 bucks over $133 Grand you get GMC's top of the line 3X extreme off road 4x4 SUV that has 4 wheel steering with CrabWalk, Super Cruise hands free driving, and can charge up to 100 miles in less than 10 minutes at a Telsa high voltage public charging station.
Why buy one? The 2026 GMC Hummer 3X EV SUV stands out if you are looking for a massive high tech electric super truck, that pairs supercar acceleration with extreme off-road engineering. Stepping up to the tri-motor 3X trim unlocks high performance metrics and specialized tactical driving modes that you can not find on any other electric SUV.
High performance in a 5 ton SUV. The core reason to opt for the 3X model over the base 2X model is the tri-motor powertrain.
Power Output: The 3X produces 830 HP horsepower and 11,500 lb-ft of wheel torque.
Watts to Freedom mode: Engaging the WTF launch control mode drops the air suspension and pushes the vehicle from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds.
Electric Range: Despite its over 10,000# pound weight, the standard 3X configuration achieves an estimated 310 to 312 miles of driving range on a full battery charge.
Off Road Maneuverability: Its size would normally make tight areas tough to manage, but GMC packs the 3X model with unique chassis tech to cheat physics.
King Crab Mode: New for the 2026 model year, an over-the-air update enables a sharper 4 wheel steering option where the rear wheels turn at a much higher angle. This allows the SUV to drive diagonally and achieve a tighter 36.5' foot turning radius.
Extract Mode: If you get hung up on big boulders or deep water, the adaptive air ride suspension can lift the SUV up to a class leading 16.1" inches of ground clearance.
Off Road Armor: Choosing this package equips the vehicle with heavy duty underbody skid plates, rock sliders, and 18" inch wheels wrapped in aggressive mud terrain tires.
Open Air Living: The Hummer bridges utility with an open air luxury lifestyle.
Infinity Roof: The vehicle comes with 4 removable transparent Sky Panels that can be easily stowed in the power operated front eTrunk, changing it into an open air rooftop.
Super Cruise: For highway driving, GM’s stellar Super Cruise Hands-Free tech is now standard equipment, integrated with Google Maps to shift lanes for navigation routes.
Bidirectional Charging: The 2026 updates bring a 6.0 kW vehicle-to-home V2H power capabilities. This allows you to jump start other EVs, or add back up power to your home during land line power blackouts.
