Hummer EV test drive: leave the road behind – The National

Hummer EV test drive: leave the road behind – The National

If you’ve ever had a shopping trolley that enjoys travelling at 45 degrees instead of in a straight line, you’ll know how it feels to drive the new Hummer EV in Crab Mode.

This mode is one of many new ways an electric powertrain frees up thinking and allows driving without playing to the rules of combustion engines and their mechanical packages.

The National was in Detroit at GM’s top secret proving ground to try several new electric vehicles coming our way, and the priority was to jump behind the wheel of the all-new Hummer EV, which is sure to lock out the order books when it goes on sale early next year. There are no price indications for the UAE market yet, but it starts at $111,000 in the US.
