The GMC HUMMER EV carved a new segment as the first and only EV supertruck when it launched. With the available new software-enabled King Crab1 off-road rear-steer mode and faster acceleration and the extremely limited GMC HUMMER EV Carbon Fibre Edition Pickup launching 0-96 kmph2 in just 2.8 seconds3 – the 2026 edition is now more capable and more advanced than ever.

Unrivaled off-road capability

Fresh for 2026 is the launch of King Crab1, an available all-new advanced rear-steer mode experience. King Crab1 takes the HUMMER EV’s standard four-wheel steer agility to the next level to further improve maneuverability in off-road settings. The feature is standard across the 2X and 3X Pickup and SUV trims.

When King Crab1 mode is activated, the rear wheels turn significantly faster than the front wheels. That results in more maneuverability when navigating tight spaces off-road, moving around obstacles or rock crawling. No other 4x4 offers this kind of rear wheel agility.


But this new feature isn’t just available on the 2026 model: King Crab1 is expected to also launch to all 2022 through 2025 HUMMER EV Pickup and SUV owners through an over-the-air update available later this year. King Crab1 fulfills a promise set at the HUMMER EV Pickup’s original launch to deliver on the famed “Mystery Mode” button where owners could submit their own “epic ideas” to GMC.

“The refreshed HUMMER EV enhances an already amazing vehicle with new software innovations and forward-thinking design,” said Al Oppenheiser, GMC HUMMER EV chief engineer. “From the start, we aimed to provide HUMMER EV owners over-the-air software updates. All 2026 HUMMER EV owners will have access to our latest software going forward, allowing new features to be introduced throughout the vehicle's lifecycle.”

Carbon Fibre Edition: The quickest HUMMER EV ever

The 2026 model reveals the exclusive HUMMER EV Carbon Fibre Edition Pickup and SUV with only an extremely limited number scheduled for production. Available for the 3X Pickup and SUV, this is the latest limited edition under the HUMMER EV nameplate.

Enabled by the 24-module battery, the Carbon Fibre Edition Pickup not only looks incredible, but it also takes the title as the quickest HUMMER EV yet – launching 0-96 kmph2 in a jet-setting 2.8 seconds3. This faster-than-ever supertruck was made possible through optimization of software and propulsion calibration, as well as developments in hardware and analysis work.

All Carbon Fibre Edition Pickups and SUVs feature exclusive Magnus Gray Matte exterior4 and Velocity Ember interior theme with colors selected to show movement and form. These special edition units will also include the following standard:

  • Unique 22-inch carbon fiber black wheels
  • All-Terrain tires
  • Carbon fibre inserts in the base hood, mirror caps, and skid plate
  • Black approach shield
  • Black emblems
  • 22-inch spare carbon fiber black wheel (SUV only)

More innovation

The 2026 HUMMER EV also comes with enhanced Super CruiseTM5 capability, the industry's first truly hands-free driver assistance system (3-year trial included*).

The capability continues with the available 24-module HUMMER EV 3X Pickup6 also delivering 1,160 horsepower and 13,000 lb-ft of torque, which makes it the most powerful truck available in its class.

Also new for 2026: further optimization of the HUMMER EV's damper tuning, resulting in improved overall ride quality.

The 13.4-inch diagonal premium GMC infotainment center includes a customizable split view screen for display offering an immersive and personalized infotainment experience with an app store and up to 8 years of voice control and navigation.
