2026 GMC HUMMER EV: A more capable, more advanced supertruck
05/15/2025
GMC
The GMC HUMMER EV carved a new segment as the first and only EV supertruck when it launched. With the new software-enabled King Crab1 off-road rear-steer mode (available over-the-air to all HUMMER EV owners as a bonus) and faster acceleration (GMC HUMMER EV Carbon Fiber Edition Pickup offers 0-60 mph2 launches in just 2.8 seconds3) - the 2026 edition is now more capable and more advanced than ever.
Unrivaled off-road capability
Fresh for 2026 is the launch of King Crab, an all-new advanced rear-steer mode experience. King Crab takes the HUMMER EV's standard four-wheel steer agility to the next level to further improve maneuverability in off-road settings. The feature is standard across the 2X and 3X Pickup and SUV trims.
When King Crab mode is activated, the rear wheels turn significantly faster than the front wheels. That results in more maneuverability when navigating tight spaces off-road, moving around obstacles or rock crawling. No other 4x4 offers this kind of rear wheel agility.
But this new feature isn't just available on the 2026 model, King Crab is also expected to launch to all 2022 through 2025 HUMMER EV Pickup and SUV owners through an OTA update available later this year. King Crab fulfills a promise set at the HUMMER EV Pickup's original launch to deliver on the famed "Mystery Mode" button where owners could submit their own "epic ideas" to GMC.
New vehicle features like King Crab are made possible through hardware and software all working together with vehicle integration to seamlessly showcase everything an all-electric vehicle can be - with a new feature off-roaders want.
"The refreshed HUMMER EV enhances an already amazing vehicle with new software innovations and forward-thinking design," said Al Oppenheiser, GMC HUMMER EV chief engineer. "From the start, we aimed to provide HUMMER EV owners over-the-air software updates. All 2026 HUMMER EV owners will have access to our latest software going forward, allowing new features to be introduced throughout the vehicle's lifecycle."
Carbon Fiber Edition: The quickest HUMMER EV ever
The 2026 model reveals the exclusive HUMMER EV Carbon Fiber Edition Pickup and SUV with only a limited number scheduled for production. Available for the 3X Pickup and SUV, this is the latest limited edition under the HUMMER EV nameplate.
Enabled by the available 24-module battery, the Carbon Fiber Edition Pickup not only looks incredible, but it also takes the title as the quickest HUMMER EV yet - launching from 0-60 mph in a jet-setting 2.8 seconds. This faster-than-ever supertruck was made possible through optimization of software and propulsion calibration, as well as developments in hardware and analysis work.

Unique 22-inch carbon fiber black wheels
All-Terrain tires
Carbon fiber inserts in the mirror caps and skid plate
Black approach shield

More innovation
For 2026, the HUMMER EV will offer bidirectional charging capability for both vehicle-to-vehicle5 and vehicle-to-home6. With vehicle-to-vehicle, the 2026 HUMMER EV can transfer power to another compatible EV. And a vehicle-to-home-capable 2026 HUMMER EV can provide power to a home in a blackout when properly equipped.
HUMMER EV also offers new Super Cruise7 enhancements, including integration with Google Maps that navigates to the correct lane for your chosen route with ease when on Super Cruise-capable roads. And, newly-added hands-on functionality keeps you centered in your lane and adapts to the speed of the driver ahead, all while your hands remain on the steering wheel. Then, when you reach a Super Cruise-enabled road, the steering wheel lightbar turns green and hands-free driving will automatically engage for added comfort. Adaptive Cruise control has also been upgraded so the driver can choose to automatically adjust speed to match posted speed limits.
The capability continues with the available 24-module HUMMER EV 3X Pickup delivering 1,160 horsepower and 13,000 lb-ft of torque, which makes it the most powerful truck available in its class8.
Also new for 2026: further optimization of the HUMMER EV's damper tuning, resulting in improved overall ride quality.
The 13.4-inch diagonal premium GMC infotainment center includes a customizable split view screen for consistent access to important vehicle data. Google Built-In9 brings expanded entertainment options to enjoy while charging. Powered by OnStar connectivity10, owners will receive intelligent EV routing, voice assistance and access to apps like Chrome, GameSnacks, and Prime Video.
