What kind of off-road driving technologies are standard in the 2022 GMC HUMMER EV Edition 1?

The 2022 GMC HUMMER EV has drawn a lot of attention for a lot of different reasons. It’s the world’s first all-electric supertruck. It’s going to be able to generation 1,000 horsepower. It’s the return of the iconic HUMMER name. And so on. But one thing we haven’t touched on a ton yet is that it’s going to be a beast of an off-road vehicle. We thought we’d highlight what kind of off-road driving technologies will be standard in the upcoming GMC HUMMER EV Edition 1 when it becomes available.

“Whether driving on the highway or climbing over rocks, the HUMMER EV will be configurable for driver preferences. It’s an incredible personalized and engaging driving experience that makes the full capability of the vehicle simple and comfortable to use. [Terrain Mode] offers a great feeling of control, by optimizing regenerative braking, friction braking and drive motor torque all through the accelerator pedal. Once you’ve tried it off-roading, you’ll quickly realize the benefits.” Aaron Pfau, Lead Development Engineer, GMC HUMMER EV
