Vehicle model
GMC Hummer EV
The GMC Hummer EV revives the Hummer name as a fully electric vehicle, offered as a pickup and as an SUV. Launched in the early 2020s, it marks GMC's spectacular entry into high-end electric vehicles, with a massive footprint, high performance and pronounced off-road capabilities. Positioned as a statement and technological vehicle, it targets enthusiasts seeking power, range and exclusivity all at once. Its standout features include CrabWalk mode (diagonal movement via four-wheel steering) and Watts to Freedom mode for blistering acceleration. In Quebec, its very high weight and all-wheel drive require large-size winter tires capable of supporting a significant load; its very large-diameter wheels (22 inches and up) call for specific, generally expensive tires.

Technologies, engines and platforms
Built on GM's Ultium platform, the Hummer EV gets a very-high-capacity battery (about 200 kWh) and two or three electric motors, with the tri-motor versions reaching nearly 1,000 hp. It features four-wheel steering, fast charging and built-in Google infotainment.
Tires and wheels
Tire and wheel compatibility
Étant des véhicules lourds et imposants, les GMC utilisent surtout de grandes jantes : couramment de 17 à 22 pouces sur Sierra et Yukon, le Hummer EV pouvant dépasser ces diamètres. Les Canyon et VUS plus compacts emploient des dimensions plus modestes. Les camionnettes et grands VUS pleine grandeur partagent fréquemment l'entraxe à 6 boulons typique des trucks GM, alors que les modèles plus petits ont d'autres configurations. Au Québec, des pneus d'hiver adaptés à ces véhicules lourds et souvent à quatre roues motrices sont essentiels; prévoir des pneus toutes saisons robustes ou un second train hiver, idéalement en respectant les dimensions d'origine ou des équivalences validées.
