The first GMC Hummer EV Pickup has arrived in the UK – priced at £320k and boasting 1,000hp of power.

The fully electric truck combines 350 miles of zero-emission range with blistering supertruck performance

Imported by luxury car dealer Clive Sutton, the fully electric truck combines 350 miles of zero-emission range with blistering supertruck performance.

Thanks to its 1,000hp and 1,627Nm of torque, the pickup truck can hit 60mph in just 3.3 seconds.

But it’s also equipped for “otherworldly” offroad skills, thanks to independent front and rear suspension, full underbody armour, rock sliders and the optional ‘Ultravision’ system, which makes use of 18 cameras to enable accurate navigation around obstacles or in tight spaces.

It also boasts spacious seating for five, plus a pickup load bed cargo area, while its supersize dimensions – 2.0m high, 2.34m wide, and more than 5.5m long – mean it will certainly stand out from the crowd.

Despite this, it’s said to have the manoeuvrability of a much smaller vehicle thanks to its optional ‘Crabwalk’ capability that utilises rear-wheel steering to enable the truck to traverse diagonally at low speeds.

Other features include four-wheel steering and an optional ‘Extract’ mode that allows the entire truck to raise around 15cm. Air suspension works to optimise aerodynamics by lowering the car at motorway speeds.

Clive Sutton, founder and CEO, said: “As soon as the GMC Hummer EV was announced our customers have been desperate to see the model in the UK! Now that we have imported the first one, we anticipate orders outstripping supply as buyers clamour to be among the first in Europe to own this electric supertruck.”

Despite being revealed a year ago, production volumes for the new Hummer EV have been low, seriously constraining availability and elevating demand Stateside. As a result, the pickup currently sells for more than $200k in the domestic market and the Edition 1 being brought over will cost around £320k OTR, due to international shipping, VAT duty, local registration fees, and vehicle conformity testing. The Sutton team also offers a two-year / 50,000-mile warranty with each Hummer EV.
