GMC Adds Rear-Steer Mode and Carbon Fibre Edition to 2026 HUMMER EV Lineup

New King Crab mode improves rear-wheel steering agility for off-road performance.
Limited Carbon Fibre Edition hits 0–96 km/h in 2.8 seconds with 24-module battery.
OTA updates expand features across 2022–2025 HUMMER EV models.

GMC has updated its HUMMER EV for the 2026 model year with a new rear-steering mode, enhanced performance, and an exclusive Carbon Fibre Edition, as production prepares to begin later this year.

The new King Crab rear-steer mode is now standard on all 2X and 3X Pickup and SUV trims, allowing the rear wheels to turn faster than the front for greater maneuverability in tight off-road spaces. The feature will also be made available via an over-the-air update for all HUMMER EV Pickup and SUV models from 2022 through 2025.

An extremely limited Carbon Fibre Edition Pickup and SUV join the 2026 lineup, offering a 0–96 km/h acceleration time of just 2.8 seconds. Enabled by the 24-module battery and advanced propulsion calibration, the edition is now the quickest HUMMER EV available. Both versions feature a Magnus Gray Matte exterior and Velocity Ember interior along with carbon fibre accents and 22-inch wheels.

The 2026 HUMMER EV 3X Pickup remains the most powerful in its class, delivering 1,160 horsepower and 13,000 lb-ft of torque. Enhancements to damper tuning are designed to improve ride quality, while a 13.4-inch infotainment display with a split view screen and integrated app store is standard. GMC has also included an upgraded Super Cruise driver-assistance system with a 3-year trial period.

Production of the 2026 HUMMER EV will begin in summer 2025 at GM’s Factory ZERO facility in Detroit and Hamtramck. Canadian deliveries will begin later in the year. Final pricing and range figures will be released closer to launch. Both the 2025 EV Pickup and SUV 2X start at $131,098.
