How does it compare to the Rivian R1T and Ford Lightning? Who is it for? Let's find out.
The 2024 Hummer EV is the five-door version of GM's infamous electric moonshot. It's slightly shorter and less powerful than the pickup but still bold-faced and brutally fast. What does it gain (and lose) compared to the truck?
Our Rivian review: • The Rivian R1T Does Ev...
Ford Lightning Review: • The Ford F-150 Lightni...
*I realize that the Lightning is a pickup truck but there's not many players in this space right now.
** I have learned there IS a button to close the frunk, underneath a lip near the bumper. Strike that complaint from the record, your honor.

You don’t have to have a personal interest in the Hummer to acknowledge the fact it’s a job well done. This easily has to be the most *hated* on vehicle that’s currently available and on the market right now. The first ever of its kind and it’s American made, yet nothing but a bunch of American haters. If Mazda or Hyundai built the same exact thing, everyone would be praising them. 😂

This video compared to the Integra review which has a similar style is so much better paced and less corny (less forced). It seems like you take notes from past videos and improve upon them. just thought I'd show appreciation as a long term viewer! Keep up the stellar work.

Much prefer sitting in this than the Rivian or the Defender. I think it feels special. Love the roof t tops and how far forward the windscreen is with the open roof. I have had a H2 for 20 years and this was not at all on my radar for a next purchase - been leaning toward a Taycan Cross Turismo but have driven 3 and always come away unimpressed. I’ll have to drive one of these now and give it some further thought.

@kamilb8232 Жыл бұрын

Zach I presume the button is in the same place as the pick up truck variant of the Hummer. It's just not intuitive because it's on the front bumper. Not as many outlets as F150, but there is one regular 120V outlet in the center console for those people sitting in the back seat.

The swing gate is the biggest downside I see next to the price. I understand why there is a swing gate. Having the spare tire hanging on it is the reason. But if the glass can be open separately it solves the problem. Loading anything that would require open the gate, means you'll probably have enough room anyway. Remove the rear steering, undercarriage camera, lower HP a bit and it will reduce cost and make it more affordable. Most people won't use any of those features anyway.

I do wonder if vehicle orders these days (not just Hummer EV) are solely in hopes to make money on the resell and not actual market interest. 90k orders is a LOT of Hummer EV's, I don't see it being that popular/affordable but maybe I underestimate the debt of many and the absurd purchases people make. I see these claimed numbers as the internet wagon warriors, only ~15% can afford or will actually buy a new wagon (e.g. RS6 Avant, M3 Touring). Curious how fast value on these will plummet when the honeymoon phase wears off.
