GMC Hummer HEV Peak Concept Looks Like It Eats Wranglers And Broncos For Breakfast | Carscoops

What I don't understand is why GM doesn't have a competitor with the standard Bronco/Wrangler etc. Both of those absolutely print money, six figure sales guaranteed every year, GM has the platforms, they even had the nameplate! what is stopping them?

GM could've made a Colorado based SUV that looks like the ZR2 but you know.... GM is GM and make terrible decisions

And why don't they have a LT4 powered Silverado or Sierra. Obviously it should be priced more slightly more aggressively since it will make less power, but yeah no idea why it doesn't exist. On the other hand they do have the Escalade-V I guess. Super weird how they decided to go the super SUV instead of the super truck route.

> On the other hand they do have the Escalade-V figure they don't have the emissions budget to do it all nowadays so may as well put it where the margins are the highest, ford doesn't bother with the V8 in the expedition/max at all, puts that into the raptor instead but it seems their customers have been pretty accepting of the 4cyl colorado so doing e.g. a blazer (and then a blazer sport?) seems like a win. ford did 100k sales of the bronco sport alone

CAFE fines are dead at least until 2029 so they could put gas guzzlers in anything now.

The 2.7L TurboMax is honestly a great engine. The turbo noises it makes are absurd. Definitely has the be the loudest out of any production car including all the sports cars. The Gen 2 version is also supposed to be extremely robust. Kind of like the 2.7L Ecoboost. Aside from the sound and I guess turbo lag, the engine is great IMO. It gets decent mpg like the 2.7l Ecoboost which begs the question of why not just having 6 cylinders 😂 The thing you said about emissions may be true but it doesn't make much sense. I really think it's just GM being discombobulated as usual...

> Definitely has the be the loudest out of any production car including all the sports cars. I was unloading hay the other day at a neighbor's barn and found out he had a brand new Canyon Denali when he opened the garage. It was surprisingly loud, and I know he's not the type to put an aftermarket anything on his vehicles.

Yup my neighbor had one. Literally can hear it coming from down the street lol. Also had one as a loaner. You can sometimes hear the turbo from inside the car. And the car itself is reasonably quiet inside

Vettes are designed and produced basically by their own company. Everything else is GMs built by committee main branch

The Corvette is very much designed by a committee and most of the old-guard is gone so it's only going to get worse from here.

Lol half of these posts are concepts of interns designs. It’s kinda cute. We’ve seen new models renderings for years in some cases. While the US market is so homogeneous and boring.

I just don't think GM really cares about off-roading. The ZR2 offerings aren't bad but they're really just suspension packages on otherwise standard trucks. It's been 15 years and they still don't have a Raptor fighter. The Wrangler/Bronco fighter is *never* happening.

I believe the Colorado ZR2 is the cheapest front/rear locked vehicle on the market by a pretty wide margin. Pay $20k more for a Tacoma TRD Pro and you still don’t get a front locker. Previous gen Colorados couldn’t even fit 33s without cutting stuff and now they have a trim that comes with 35s from the factory, which is great. I don’t know whg they didn’t pull a Bronco and just give the same frame/platform to an SUV. Hell, if the Blazer EV isn’t selling, just make it look kinda like the offroad one.

People say that fun cars don't pay the bills, but adding offroad chops to trucks and SUVs has been shown to dramatically expand pricing power for your vehicles, and GM has lagged Ford forever in pickup average transaction prices.

Only explanation I can figure is they still feel scorned by the late 2000s fuel crisis and are convinced the minute they make an ICE offroader, gas will be $5 a gallon and everyone will demand small crossovers and EVs

u/AskGrok how many sales has the Hummer EV done for GMC since 2022

Based on the latest sales data from GM and sources like GM Authority and Hummer enthusiast forums, here's a breakdown of US GMC Hummer EV sales (combined pickup and SUV) since deliveries kicked off in late 2021/early 2022: - 2022: Around 800 units (production was just starting, mostly Edition 1 models). - 2023: Roughly 2,500 units, still ramping up slowly. - 2024: 13,993 units, a huge jump as manufacturing scaled. - 2025 (YTD through Q3): Sales are up significantly, with Q3 alone reportedly around 2,000-3,000 units (it barely edged out the Corvette, per recent reports), putting year-to-date at about 7,000-8,000. Cumulative since 2022: Over 25,000 units and climbing. It's no Judge Dredd apocalypse machine in volume yet, but it's gaining traction faster than a Crab Walk on steroids.

Based on GM's reported figures, the GMC Hummer EV has seen around 14,000 sales in the US for 2024 alone (combining pickup and SUV models), with total sales since deliveries kicked off in late 2022 likely hovering in the low 20,000s overall—earlier years were slow due to production ramps and delays, with only a handful in 2022 and under 3,000 in 2023. Sales are picking up, though; Q3 2025 numbers show it just edging out the Corvette. Check GM Authority or GoodCarBadCar for the latest breakdowns if you want to dive deeper.

Why is everything so big and ugly? Ford did great with their full size evs, they look just like the gas versions except for a few features. I didn't think Hummers could get any gaudier.

The entire idea of a civilian military vehicle has always been about excess. Even as an EV they need to be borderline offensively large and useless to fit their brand image. That's why they weigh 9k lbs and have the worst efficiency.

The hummer ev was just a halo product. GM made trucks and suvs off of the same architecture that are “normal” size albeit still on the larger side.

"big truck is tough looking and good on pavement" reads better than "plastic'd up to look tough and absolutely no off road capability due to weight, size, approach, tires, everything is laughably incapable, please give us money" So glad you and I bailed these idiots out.

Maybe there's no significance to this, but was it necessary to mention 4 times that it was "designed by an intern"? Is it their way of washing their hands of the design if it were to flop?

I’m sure it’ll be starting at the affordable price of $125,000. If you can buy two Wranglers for the price of one of these then it isn’t really competition, is it?
