Equipped with Advanced Features such as CrabWalk and Super Cruise

GMC, General Motors' (GM) SUV and pickup truck brand, announced on May 11 that it will officially launch the "Hummer EV SUV" in the Korean market. The Hummer EV SUV, GMC's flagship electrified SUV, is designed for customers who value diverse lifestyles and individuality, targeting everything from urban daily life to outdoor and off-road adventures.

The Hummer EV is a flagship model that incorporates innovative technologies such as "CrabWalk" and "Super Cruise," based on GM's dedicated electric vehicle platform, while inheriting the rugged identity of the original internal combustion engine Hummer through electrification. It is equipped with a 578ps dual-motor eAWD system, offers a driving range of 512 km per charge, and supports up to 300 kW DC fast charging with an 800V electric system.

The core technology of the Hummer EV is its electronic four-wheel steering system, which allows all four wheels to steer together, reducing the turning radius. CrabWalk is a feature that controls the rear wheels to rotate at the same angle as the front wheels during low-speed driving, enabling the vehicle to move diagonally. This enhances maneuverability in situations where the vehicle needs to escape from tight spaces or make precise adjustments on rough terrain.

King Crab Mode allows the rear wheels to steer even faster than the front wheels, providing a dynamic driving sensation similar to drifting while maintaining vehicle control. This further improves maneuverability and enables more precise vehicle control in narrow passages or around obstacles during off-road driving.

The Adaptive Air Ride Suspension, when activated in Extract Mode, raises the vehicle height by approximately 149 mm, helping the vehicle to easily overcome rough obstacles such as rocky terrain or water pools.

The Hummer EV is equipped with GM's advanced driver assistance system, "Super Cruise." Currently available on approximately 23,000 km of highways and major arterial roads in Korea, Super Cruise enables "hands-free driving," allowing the driver to take their hands off the steering wheel while keeping their eyes on the road ahead. It detects traffic flow, maintains distance between vehicles, and automatically changes lanes as needed, offering a new level of driving experience.

22-inch premium finish alloy wheels, high-strength aluminum side steps, and black tow hooks mounted on the left and right sides of the front have been designed for durability and accessibility in real-world usage.

The Infinity Roof consists of four removable sky panels and a front I-Bar. The transparent sky panels protect passengers from the external environment while letting in natural light, providing occupants with a spacious and open feel.

The interior is centered around advanced displays and an intuitive interface. The 11-inch color LCD cluster and 13.4-inch color touchscreen clearly provide driving information and vehicle functions, making it easy for the driver to access necessary information.

The TMAP connected service, comprising TMAP Auto and NUGU Auto, delivers an optimized navigation experience for Korean drivers and enables voice control for certain vehicle functions such as destination setting, climate control, and convenience features, enhancing driving comfort and focus. It is offered in a single 2X trim, and the vehicle is priced at 246.57 million won (including 3.5% individual consumption tax).

Meanwhile, to celebrate the launch of the Hummer EV, GMC is holding a pre-order event from the 11th to the 19th. Customers who sign a contract during this period and complete delivery by June 10 will be eligible for a lottery to receive an exclusive front storage tray accessory for the Hummer EV SUV. The front storage tray is a dedicated storage accessory optimized for the eTrunk of the Hummer EV SUV.
