The GMC HUMMER EV carved a new segment as the first and only EV supertruck when it launched. With the new software-enabled King Crab 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 mph launches in just 2.8 seconds) – 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 4×4 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.
In addition to stunning acceleration, the Carbon Fiber Edition provides higher contrast colors and a brighter palette.
All Carbon Fiber Edition Pickups and SUVs feature an exclusive Magnus Gray Matte exterior and Velocity Ember interior theme with colors selected to show movement and form. These special edition units will also include the following as standard:
- Unique 22-inch carbon fiber black wheels
- All-Terrain tires
- Carbon fiber inserts in the mirror caps and skid plate
- Black approach shield
- Black emblems
- Black power tonneau cover (Pickup only)
- 22-inch spare carbon fiber black wheel (SUV only)
More innovation
For 2026, the HUMMER EV will offer bidirectional charging capability for both vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-home. 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.
The 2026 HUMMER EV also comes with enhanced Super Cruise, the industry’s first true hands-free advanced driver assistance system. This includes Hands on Lane Change Assist (HOLCA), which allows for seamless transition between non-Super Cruise mapped and Super Cruise-mapped roads. In addition, Super Cruise will now offer a Lane Change for Route feature to automatically change lanes on Super Cruise-mapped roads if the vehicle’s built-in map is being used.
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 class.
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-In brings expanded entertainment options to enjoy while charging. Powered by OnStar connectivity, owners will receive intelligent EV routing, voice assistance and access to apps like Chrome, GameSnacks, and Prime Video.
Fresh design
The HUMMER EV Pickup and SUV continues to embody the premium off-road lifestyle with bold on-road styling, every day practicality, and GMC’s signature premium comfort.
New for 2026 are two additional exterior paint colors available – Coastal Dune and Auburn Matte – as well as two new interior themes – Granite Drift and Stealth Eclipse.
Available later this summer
Production of the 2026 HUMMER EV will begin later this year at GM’s Factory ZERO Assembly Center in Detroit and Hamtramck, Michigan, home to GMC’s three all-electric trucks: the GMC HUMMER EV Pickup, HUMMER EV SUV and Sierra EV.
The 2026 HUMMER EV Pickup and SUV will be available at GMC EV dealers later this year. Pricing and GM-estimated range will be announced closer to launch.
