A new teaser video has given us a tantalizing glimpse of the new GMC Hummer EV SUV alee of its launch on Saturday (April 3).

GMC already has a Hummer EV due to hitting the road in September, in the form of the Hummer EV Edition1 pickup. But while we know a lot about that model, details near the SUV version remain scant.

Before you become too excited, the new teaser video, which you lot tin can picket below, is merely 15 seconds long. It shows the pickup version in its total glory, earlier fading into a silhouette of the SUV model, while overlay text confirms that the launch will take place on Saturday.

The voiceover also explains that you'll be able to reserve the Hummer EV SUV from that engagement — which is simply every bit well, given that the Edition1 truck sold out inside an hour of its reveal.

From the silhouette shot, we do know that the SUV model will have a spare tire on the tailgate. We'd too wait it to have a 3rd row of seats inside, whereas the pickup merely has 2, based on the fact that it appears to be slightly longer than the other version.

Aside from this video and a similarly opaque outset teaser, most of what we know about the Hummer EV SUV came from a presentation GM officials made at the Barclays Global Automotive Conference in November.

That showed three of GM's top brass sitting in front end of a trio of vehicles, one of which was the Hummer EV SUV. As with the pickup, this was a black-and-white model, suggesting it may well simply come up in the one color option.

Other than its profile, the SUV version of the Hummer EV is expected to exist very similar to the Edition1 pickup truck version, and that's no bad thing.

The pickup version is absolutely packed with cut-edge tech, including a total off-road package with sideslip plates and rock sliders, adaptive air interruption, agile safety features, and some seriously impressive performance specs.

We're particularly excited about GM's Super Cruise hands-off characteristic; this is essentially the closest you'll get to a cocky-driving vehicle right now and should be a step above the likes of Tesla'southward Autopilot, which requires you to continue i hand on the wheel at all times.

Equally you lot might expect for a Hummer — a vehicle that'south not exactly known for doing things in one-half measures — the Edition1 will besides be super-powerful whether on or off the route. It'due south slated to deliver 1,000hp and will be able to leap from 0-lx mph in just three seconds.

Range-wise, it'll be good for 350 miles, while its fast-charging tech will give it 100 miles of juice in just 10 minutes, assuming yous can find a 350kW charging station.

Pricing details about the Hummer EV SUV will presumably be revealed along with everything else this weekend, but it's unlikely to exist inexpensive: the Edition1 pickup model available this yr will start at $112,595. Slightly cheaper variants will be bachelor over the next few years, simply even the lesser-of-the-range EV3X volition set yous back $90,000 when information technology launches in 2023.

Nor practise we know exactly when the Hummer EV SUV volition hit the road, but 2022 looks likely for this one. We'll permit you know more subsequently the reveal this weekend.
