The original Hummer H2 just turned 25 years old, and GMC is marking the occasion with its electric offspring.

For the past quarter-century, you’ve been able to roughly divide opinion on the iconic Hummer SUV into “it’s bad” or “it’s obnoxious.” There wasn’t much room for gray area, and to celebrate a massive (if polarizing) vehicle, GMC is releasing an appropriately rousing tribute to the model that really cemented its brutal reputation: the Hummer H2. Meet the 2027 GMC Hummer EV Icon | 25. See, it doesn’t even have a “normal” name, because GM needed to put a vertical line in there so you In fact Focus on those component pieces – it’s an icon and it’s 25 years old.

Basically, the 2027 GMC Hummer EV ICON | The 25 is a specially styled, limited-run model that features the same yellow color as the big, boxy SUV that everyone alive at the time remembers and marveled at when it arrived on the scene in 2002. Naturally, the modern iteration is still an EV rather than a 6.0-liter V8-powered beast. That said, you get up to a wild 1,160 horsepower and – at least using the unorthodox method GM uses to express it – 13,000 lb-ft of torque (if you measure). directly On wheels, and not on motors as we are all accustomed to).

The ICON color scheme is more or less the gist of this special edition (as well as some badging), although 2027 GMC Hummer EV buyers finally get a standard NACS charging port with the new model year as well. Vehicle-to-home bidirectional charging is available to provide power to a properly equipped home. You can still get a 24-module battery pack that enables huge power and a 2.8-second 0-60 time… which again, as if I need to point out, is completely ridiculous in such a massive vehicle. The air ride suspension, four-wheel steering, Crabwalk, Super Cruise, roof panels and all your other favorite Hummer goodies are still here.

2027 GMC Hummer EV Icon | The 25 special editions will be available in 2X or 3X versions for pickups and SUVs. GMC didn’t announce pricing in its Wednesday statement, but said we’ll get closer to the production figure later this year. However, the price for the dual-motor 2X model of the Hummer EV already starts at $99,895. This nod to history will easily net you a head start over $100,000, no matter what that number is for you In fact If you want to pick one up look for the production number. Only 25 will be sold in the US and Canada.

GMC’s public debut for this special Hummer EV will be the 2026 ESPYs Awards, which will take place tonight, July 15, in New York City.
