Detroit – In a move that would make Tony Stark nod in approval and off-road purists question their life choices, GMC has just unleashed the 2026 Hummer EV lineup — now faster, smarter, crabbier, and dressed in carbon fiber couture.
Remember when Hummer went electric and became the world’s only EV supertruck? Well, it just got super-er. The 2026 model introduces King Crab Mode — an over-the-air update that lets your rear wheels hustle harder than the front ones. It’s not just four-wheel steer anymore; it’s four-wheel show-off. Perfect for rock crawling or just dramatically exiting the Whole Foods parking lot.
And yes, this crab walks so you can flex.
The Carbon Fiber Edition: Because Subtlety is for Sedans
Need to go from 0 to 60 mph in a breath-holding 2.8 seconds in something the size of a Manhattan studio? Enter the Carbon Fiber Edition — Hummer EV’s limited-run, matte grey beast that looks like it was carved from fighter jet dreams. Exclusive to 3X Pickup and SUV trims, it’s equipped with:
- Carbon black 22-inch wheels
- Carbon fiber mirror caps and skid plates
- A spare carbon fiber wheel (because style doesn’t stop at flats)
- A moody Velocity Ember interior that whispers, “I crush boulders, but in style.”
Bidirectional Brilliance: Power to the People (and their homes)
New for 2026: your Hummer EV can now power your neighbor’s car and your house during a blackout. That’s right — vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-home charging is now on the menu. So the next time the power cuts out, you won’t be the guy lighting candles — you’ll be the guy lighting up the block.
Smarter Than Your Average Truck
With updated Super Cruise that syncs with Google Maps (and probably your horoscope next), hands-on enhancements, adaptive cruise upgrades, and a glowing green lightbar that signals when you can go full sci-fi and take your hands off the wheel, the 2026 Hummer EV continues to blur the line between truck and tech deity.
Also onboard: a 13.4-inch split-screen infotainment hub, Google Built-In apps (including Chrome and Prime Video), and enough horsepower (1,160 hp to be exact) to tow your trailer, your neighbor’s ego, and maybe a small moon.
New Looks, Same Muscle
Two new shades join the color palette — Coastal Dune and Auburn Matte — along with interior themes Granite Drift and Stealth Eclipse, which sound more like Bond movie titles than truck options.
Production begins at GM’s Factory Zero in Detroit later this year. Pricing? Range? More crab-related puns? Stay tuned.
Until then, rest assured: the 2026 Hummer EV isn’t just a truck. It’s a six-ton, zero-emission flex that moonwalks sideways and could probably jump start a space station.
Because when the apocalypse comes, you want to survive in something with carbon fiber wheels and a button called “Mystery Mode.”
