The 2024 Hummer EV Redefines Dominance on Dubai’s Roads
Shereen Shabnam
There are few vehicles that turn heads quite like the Hummer and being in Dubai, that’s saying something. Driving the all-new 2024 Hummer EV SUV through the city felt like reclaiming the streets with commanding presence and ultra-modern confidence. With roots that go back to our office’s beloved Hummer H1 in the past, this latest evolution is not just an upgrade – it is a transformation. From a rugged military beast to refined electric luxury tank, the Hummer EV is a bold declaration of design, technology, and brute performance.
Exterior
Gone are the boxy, utilitarian looks of yesteryear that we were used to when we went for meetings in the orange office Hummer. The new Hummer EV ushers in a sculpted, futuristic silhouette while still channeling the iconic Hummer attitude. Up front, a glowing HUMMER EV light bar leads the charge alongside IntelliBeam LED headlamps and a power-operated hood. The Infinity Roof with removable sky panels adds an open-air thrill that is perfect for cruising under the Dubai skyline. Rugged details like 18” black aluminum wheels with machined accents, full underbody armor, and extreme off-road components ensure it’s as ready for the desert dunes as it is for downtown.
Interior
Step inside, and the cabin greets you with a level of refinement that defies the Hummer legacy. The tri-zone climate control, ventilated leather seats, and a premium Bose audio system deliver instant comfort and immersion. You are surrounded by high-tech touches, from a 13.4” GMC Premium Infotainment System with Google Built-In to the 12.3” Driver Information Center. The ultra-wide HD Surround Vision makes maneuvering this beast effortless. With luxury finishes and purposeful design, it’s clear this Hummer isn’t just about power—it’s about prestige.
Technology
The Hummer EV is packed with forward-thinking features. Highlights include adaptive cruise control, One-Pedal Driving with regen-on-demand, and the legendary CrabWalk mode via Electronic 4-Wheel Steer—perfect for tight urban turns or showing off in front of a crowd. Wireless charging, seamless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, and Google Assistant keep you connected, while safety tech like Lane Keep Assist, Pedestrian Alerts, and Enhanced Automatic Parking Assist ensure you’re protected from all angles.
Performance
Here is where the Hummer EV truly blows everything else away. With 830 horsepower and an earth-shaking 12,880 Nm of torque from its three Ultium-powered motors, it launches from 0–100 km/h in just 3.5 seconds—thanks to the Watts to Freedom mode. The 480 km range is more than enough for long hauls across the Emirates, while features like adaptive air ride suspension and electronically locking differentials make every terrain conquerable. Driving it in Dubai felt like I was controlling a high-tech freight train wrapped in opulence.
Final Verdict
The new Hummer EV isn’t just an electric SUV, but a statement. It honors its rugged past while embracing a bold electric future, combining outrageous performance, luxury interiors, and segment-defining technology. Driving it around with my motoring obsessed daughter made it a lot more fun and I felt like I owned every street because with the Hummer EV, you don’t just drive. You dominate.
