What to Expect from the Upcoming GMC Hummer EV SUV (and How to Reserve Yours)

 

In 2020, it’s almost as if automakers banded together to provide some hope to fans of classic off-road vehicles—something positive in a year that would prove difficult for so many people for a variety of reasons. Surely, that’s why we’ve seen the reemergence of several legendary 4x4 nameplates, right?

Or, it could simply be that automakers are not going to let their competitors one-up them (admittedly, this is the most likely reason). Whatever the case, here we are in 2021, and we’ve learned that one of the most anticipated vehicles in recent memory is set to hit dealerships in early 2023: the GMC Hummer EV SUV. If you thought the Humvees of old were tough, well, it’s safe to say that this new era will not disappoint. 

GMC is accepting reservations for its new creation, and there are no strings attached. All you have to do is register for your preferred trim and pay a fully refundable $100 deposit. That’s right—registering puts you under no obligation to actually buy the vehicle, but it will hold your spot in line. Whether you’re dead-set on purchasing the GMC Hummer EV SUV or are just a spectator, there’s really no downside to making a reservation. 

Liberty Buick GMC is here with the skinny on what consumers can look forward to from the 2024 Hummer EV SUV, as well as some details about the registration process:

 

GMC Hummer EV SUV Trims

As with the pickup version, the GMC Hummer EV SUV is set to offer four trims over the first several years of its release, all varying in features and price: the Edition 1, 3X, 2X, and 2. Here’s the gist of what we know about each model:

 

Hummer EV Edition 1

The first trim of Hummer EV SUVs is called the “Edition 1.” It is set to roll into dealerships in early 2023 as a 2024 model, and it will be the fully-loaded version of the SUV. 

While this run of special editions is limited, GMC has not articulated exactly how many will be available. We do know that reservations for the Edition 1 are full, but consumers can still get on the waitlist, which could come in handy if a considerable number of reserved consumers back out or if the automaker decides to raise the ceiling on production. 

For the initial launch, the GMC Hummer EV SUV Edition 1 will come in Moonshot Green Matte exterior paint with black above the beltline. The grille consists of a crystal light that displays “HUMMER,” and there are several “H” graphics sprinkled around the SUV. As far as power goes, you can expect up to 830 horsepower and a 0-60 mph of 3.0 seconds. The first available model will be an on-road edition that includes 22-inch premium wheels, assist steps, special badging, and floor liners. The price is $105,595, which is $7,000 less than the Edition 1 of its pickup truck sibling. 

Buyers who want the off-road package will need to spare $5,000 more, and in return, will get 18-inch wheels with 35-inch tires, underbody armor, heavy-duty half shafts, rock sliders, and a front eLocker and virtual rear lockers. Even bigger tires (37-inch) will be an option from dealers. 

 

Other Trims

The Hummer EV SUV 3X and 2X models are expected to arrive at dealerships in Spring 2023. The former still offers three electric motors and starts at $99,995. The latter is equipped with two motors, is estimated at 625 hp and a 0-60 mph of 4.0 seconds, and comes with a starting price of $89,995. The base two-motor Hummer EV SUV (the EV2) is anticipated for a release in spring 2024 at $79,995. It provides the same power as the 2X, though the range on a single charge falls from 300 to 250 miles. This model uses 400-volt fast charging, but you can opt for 800 volts, which is what all other Hummer EV SUV models come with. 

 

How to Reserve Your Hummer EV SUV

If you’re sold on getting a 2024 GMC Hummer EV SUV, or even if you’re still, on the fence, it’s easy to reserve your spot. Simply log on to the GMC Hummer EV microsite and follow these four steps: 

1. Pick a Trim

Buick! Buick! Buick! Coming Hot Off the Line at a Great Low Price

 

Buicks are one of America’s most reliable brands, and now more than ever, Buick’s dedication to building formidable, classic vehicles is paying off. Since American-made cars are coming off the line faster than ever, there are more Buick vehicles available, and as always, at a great price. At Liberty Buick GMC, we have everything you need to know about why this year is the best year to buy a Buick. 

Over the past seven years, Buick has managed to completely overhaul its entire lineup of vehicles. The veteran car company has taken a classic that has been around longer than most other sedans, the Regal, and successfully turned it into a luxurious, sturdy, and powerful machine—something many other American car companies are still struggling to produce in a sedan. Buick has also created something new and enticing in the Encore, a compact SUV. This sporty ride has helped provide a new face for Buick, something brighter and more vibrant, and this “new vibe” seems to be working for the car company. If Buick has lacked in distant years with marketing themselves as a competitive car company, it sure doesn’t show now. Buick is not only in the game, they are upfront helping to lead the charge.

 

A Couple of Our Favorites

The Buick Encore and the Buick Enclave are excellent SUV choices. Each has its own unique characteristics and special features, but they both share in Buick’s commitment to quality, and both have served as a perfect foil to overpriced, luxury SUVs. With the Encore and Enclave, you get the luxury, not the superfluous cost.  

Let’s start with the Buick Encore. Slated as a “Premium Small SUV,” this is slightly smaller of the two SUVs, and though it might not be considered as family-friendly as the Enclave, the Encore is perfect for the commuter. It comes with premium comfort, a quiet ride, and a number of impressive features. Under the hood, the all-new Buick Encore has a 1.4-liter turbocharged, four-cylinder engine with six-speed automatic transmission. It sits high, and even though it’s not the biggest SUV on the lot, it still has plenty of room to stretch and store and relax. As anyone who lives in or near the city knows, traffic in Charlotte is fun. The standstill can be painful, but it doesn’t have to be, especially with great fuel economy. 24 mpg city and 32 mpg highway keep dollars in your pocket—honestly, these numbers sound more like that of a small sedan than an SUV. But the Encore is not your normal SUV: Rather than a gas-guzzling six or eight-cylinder engine, the Encore incorporates a turbocharged four-cylinder engine that saves you at the pump but gets you moving when you need to. And, it comes with the Buick Infotainment System, and available Alexa Built-In, which keep your hands free and always connected.

Though the pollen is just a tad disagreeable at the moment, once everything is in bloom and the Allegra has kicked in, you remember that the nice thing about living in a city with winding roads, arching hills, and endless trees is the natural beauty they provide. This is where the comfort of the Buick Encore comes into play. The substantially plush front seats keep you comfortable for long periods of time. The surprisingly spacious back seats have plenty of room for stretching out and enjoying the seemingly always-green landscapes of the QC. And the mix of muted colors and line-work throughout the Encore’s interior induce a calm, tranquil atmosphere, keeping you happy the entire ride home.

Enclave

Buick’s truest family vehicle is the Enclave. Buick created the Enclave back in 2008 with the understanding that modern drivers needed something that had the look and sophistication of a luxury SUV, but the roominess and comfort of a minivan. The result was a high-selling crossover vehicle that continues to be praised for its classy look—chrome waterfall grille and curvy line work throughout the body—and its ability to haul up to seven passengers without feeling stuffed.

With its three rows of seating, it can hold up to seven passengers comfortably. Its ultra-smooth ride is due to the tough 3.6-liter, V-6 engine, which has noticeable punch and power. The “Three Row, Premium SUV” Enclave comes with 4-wheel antilock disc brakes, nine-speed automatic transmission, all-wheel drive, plus available WiFi hotspots and so much more.

Whether you are a single commuter or a small family driver looking for something smooth and stylish, or you need something roomy and powerful enough for fun trips with the entire crew, Buick has the vehicle for you.

Top 5 Reasons To Buy A Buick 

The Buick brand continues to accelerate as vehicle sales increase among an ever-growing customer base. The American car company’s updated marketing plan and bold new colors and designs are keeping Buick relevant, innovative, and impressive—increasingly to younger drivers. Here are five reasons you should be driving a one:

1. A competitive lineup. Over the recent years, Buick has overhauled its complete lineup of vehicles. Paying more attention to details such as performance, up-to-date technology, design, and safety, Buick has been able to create a collection of cars and SUVs that hold high levels of luxury at a reasonable price.
2. Luxury at a low price. Buick is considered a luxury line of vehicles, and if you have driven any of the new models, you’re likely to agree. The extra-smooth ride and handling. The plush seats and calm, cool interior lighting. It all makes you feel like you are in something elegant and expensive. But what makes this luxury car company unique is the level of quality you get for such a reasonable price. Buick has bridged the gap between reasonable pricing and high quality. And continuously high sales and vehicle ratings show this is paying off big.
3. No strings attached. When buying a Buick there are no gimmicks. What you see is what you get. All warranties, for used or new Buicks, are clear and honest, and you never have to worry about inflated costs for basic necessities like oil changes and tire replacements. The Buick brand works against the notion that all car companies and car sellers are trying to pull the wool over the consumer’s eyes. A clear and honest approach to car building and selling is the only way Buick operates.
4. A bright future. Buick is the oldest running American car company. And it is thriving. Buicks sell all over the world—China is actually the company’s biggest market. And the company has big plans for impressive new vehicles to come out. When you buy Buick you support quality craftsmanship, honest marketing, and good old American ingenuity.

No matter how you cut it, Buick is pretty impressive. It’s not just the vehicles they make, it’s the thought and care that goes into every detail of the entire process. They choose to be honest and forthright in what they do. There are no scandals, no pretending to be something they are not. And that’s the same type of operation being run at Liberty Buick GMC. We are here to serve you, and that means honesty and expertise from start to finish. Come in and see us today at Liberty Buick GMC and let us get you into a brand new Buick or GMC—you will be glad you made the choice to car shop with us.
