Hummer EV SUV

The GMC Hummer EV SUV is a full-size electric off-roader that occupies a niche essentially of its own making: a luxury truck-based SUV priced near six figures with military-inspired styling and genuine technical ambition. Reviewers at MotorTrend and Car and Driver consistently highlight its Extract Mode air-suspension-aided CrabWalk diagonal driving capability and the 3X trim's 830-horsepower tri-motor powertrain as genuinely novel features rather than marketing novelties. It competes loosely with the Rivian R1S but skews heavier, more theatrical, and more expensive.

3X tri-motor produces 830 hp and hits 0–60 mph in 3.5 seconds — exceptional for a vehicle weighing over 9,000 lbs

CrabWalk four-wheel steering mode and Extract Mode suspension lift enable off-road maneuverability that reviewers at MotorTrend confirmed works as advertised in real trail conditions

Watts to Freedom launch-control mode on the 3X delivers repeatable, consistent acceleration runs without notable power fade

Removable roof panels and open-air driving experience are a distinctive feature not offered by any direct EV competitor

Ultifi-based 13.4-inch infotainment system with Super Cruise hands-free driver assistance is among the more capable setups in GM's lineup

EPA-rated 303 miles of range on both trims is modest relative to the price point; real-world range drops considerably when driving at highway speeds or using four-wheel drive aggressively

Curb weight exceeding 9,000 lbs makes handling ponderous on-road and causes significant tire wear, a concern noted by Car and Driver long-term testers

Starting price of $98,845 for the 2X and $106,945 for the 3X places it well above the Rivian R1S and Ford F-150 Lightning, with interior material quality that reviewers note does not fully justify the premium

Charging infrastructure for a vehicle with this energy demand remains a practical limitation; DC fast charging is capped at 350 kW but real-world sustained rates are often lower

The Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV slots between the smaller EQA/EQB crossovers and the flagship EQS SUV, targeting luxury buyers who want a practical five-seat footprint without stepping up to the larger model's price. Built on the same dedicated EVA2 platform as the EQS, it carries over much of that car's technology and interior craftsmanship. Reviewers consistently highlight the available Hyperscreen dashboard and the genuinely premium cabin quality, while also noting that its real-world range and charging speeds trail rivals like the BMW iX and Cadillac LYRIQ at this price point.

Cabin materials and fit-and-finish are broadly praised as class-appropriate, with soft-touch surfaces and Mercedes-typical attention to detail throughout

The optional MBUX Hyperscreen spans the entire dashboard and draws consistent attention from reviewers for its visual impact and functionality

EQE 500 4MATIC trims reach 0-60 mph in 4.6 seconds, providing strong real-world passing and merging performance for a mid-size luxury SUV

Ride quality is repeatedly described as smooth and well-composed on the standard air suspension, absorbing highway imperfections without harshness

At 279 miles EPA-rated, the rear-wheel-drive 350+ trim leads the lineup in range and represents the most efficient entry point into the EQE SUV family

DC fast charging is capped at 170 kW, which lags behind rivals like the Cadillac LYRIQ (190 kW) and BMW iX xDrive50 (195 kW) and results in longer stops on road trips

The 4MATIC variants drop EPA range to 253 miles, a meaningful reduction that reviewers at InsideEVs and Car and Driver flag as below average for the segment and price

The MBUX infotainment system draws repeated criticism for burying common climate and audio functions in submenus, requiring multiple taps for tasks that physical controls would handle immediately

Starting at $79,050 before options, and with popular packages adding thousands quickly, the EQE SUV is expensive relative to rivals that offer comparable or greater range for less money
