00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:33,133 when they launched the 3-row Palisade crossover utility 27 00:01:33,266 --> 00:01:34,533 4 years ago. 28 00:01:34,666 --> 00:01:36,933 Still the same Hyundai value we

Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy Night Edition, 43 00:02:27,300 --> 00:02:30,666 a way to take the range-topping Calligraphy trim 44 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,933 to an even higher level of exclusivity. 45 00:02:34,066 --> 00:02:38,166 Available in either Abyss Black or this Hyper White, 46 00:02:38,300 --> 00:02:41,800 the Night Edition applies a dark chrome treatment to the grille, 47 00:02:41,933

instrument cluster 72 00:04:07,500 --> 00:04:11,933 resides in front of the driver on Limited trim and above. 73 00:04:12,066 --> 00:04:15,533 As for the rest of the interior, Night Editions adds a unique 74 00:04:15,666 --> 00:04:19,000 blackout theme with some added dark aluminum trim 75 00:04:19,133 --> 00:04:23,866 and devilish 630 watts of Harmon Kardon premium audio. 76 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:28,066 There are also some exclusive premium micro-suede materials 77 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,500 on the seats, though most of our staff 78 00:04:30,633 --> 00:04:32,866 felt they didn't seem quite as luxurious 79 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,933 as the Nappa leather seats in the regular Calligraphy. 80 00:04:37,066 --> 00:04:39,933 Second row captain's chairs here of course, 81 00:04:40,066 --> 00:04:43,333 plus, a power folding third row that holds three. 82 00:04:43,466 --> 00:04:46,800 Palisades come as both seven or eight seaters with up to 83 00:04:46,933 --> 00:04:49,366 16 cupholders! 84 00:04:49,500 --> 00:04:53,466 There's also adequate room for adults in that third row, 85 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:55,900 though seating comfort drastically improves 86 00:04:56,033 --> 00:04:57,500 moving forward. 87 00:04:57,633 --> 00:05:01,133 Cargo capacity remains a strong point for the Palisade, 88 00:05:01,266 --> 00:05:04,566 with 18.0 cubic-feet available behind the third row, 89 00:05:04,700 --> 00:05:06,833 45.8 behind the second, 90 00:05:06,966 --> 00:05:10,966 and a max of 86.4 with all seatbacks folded. 91 00:05:11,100 --> 00:05:14,533 At Mason Dixon Dragway, the Night Edition delivered 92 00:05:14,666 --> 00:05:17,900 a moderate dose of power, enough to battle a little 93 00:05:18,033 --> 00:05:21,866 wheel spin off the line leading to a steady jog to 60 94 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,066 of 7.6 seconds; about a half second slower 95 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,633 than the last Palisade we tested. 96 00:05:27,766 --> 00:05:32,300 Gear changes happened smoothly, causing minor power flow pauses 97 00:05:32,433 --> 00:05:36,200 throughout the quarter-mile, completed in 15.8 seconds 98 00:05:36,333 --> 00:05:39,100 at a respectable 90 miles per hour. 99 00:05:39,233 --> 00:05:43,733 This big unibody bruiser is suspended with MacPherson struts 100 00:05:43,866 --> 00:05:47,700 up front and a multi-link independent setup in back. 101 00:05:47,833 --> 00:05:50,866 They provided a surprisingly nimble platform 102 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,633 for shuffling through our handling course. 103 00:05:53,766 --> 00:05:56,200 There was a reasonable amount of feedback through 104 00:05:56,333 --> 00:05:58,566 the steering wheel, helping us stay on top 105 00:05:58,700 --> 00:06:01,633 of the slight understeer that we encountered. 106 00:06:01,766 --> 00:06:05,533 There was very soft pedal action in our panic braking runs, 107 00:06:05,666 --> 00:06:08,433 along with a reasonable amount of nosedive, 108 00:06:08,566 --> 00:06:12,933 but 102 foot stops from 60 rate great! 109 00:06:13,066 --> 00:06:15,600 All Palisades come with a healthy complement 110 00:06:15,733 --> 00:06:18,966 of active safety features like Lane Keeping Assist 111 00:06:19,100 --> 00:06:22,766 and Highway Driving Assist, while Calligraphies add a more 112 00:06:22,900 --> 00:06:26,800 advanced Parking Collision Avoidance Assist system. 113 00:06:26,933 --> 00:06:29,800 With all-wheel-drive, Government Fuel Economy Ratings 114 00:06:29,933 --> 00:06:33,866 are 19 City, 24 Highway, and 21 Combined. 115 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,933 Even with the Night Edition establishing a new high mark, 116 00:06:38,066 --> 00:06:41,133 it's still priced less than many large 3-row utilities 117 00:06:41,266 --> 00:06:44,733 at $55,245. 118 00:06:44,866 --> 00:06:48,566 That's $3,500 over the standard Calligraphy, 119 00:06:48,700 --> 00:06:53,766 and about $17,000 more than the base SE Palisade. 120 00:06:53,900 --> 00:06:58,733 So, when it comes to this 2024 Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy 121 00:06:58,866 --> 00:07:02,566 Night Edition, there's no need to be afraid of the dark. 122 00:07:02,700 --> 00:07:05,233 The only thing lurking in the shadows here 123 00:07:05,366 --> 00:07:08,800 is more tremendous value, something that Hyundai 124 00:07:08,933 --> 00:07:12,766 has been bringing to light for years and years. 125 00:07:14,233 -->

00:07:29,600 in American transportation. 129 00:07:29,733 --> 00:07:32,000 But there's much more to The Henry Ford 130 00:07:32,133 --> 00:07:34,233 than first meets the eyes. 131 00:07:34,366 --> 00:07:37,833 Our Stephanie Hart had a chance to venture underground 132 00:07:37,966 --> 00:07:40,800 and explore the museum's secret storage areas 133 00:07:40,933 --> 00:07:44,800 filled with an

the Henry Ford museum in Dearborn, Michigan. 137 00:07:54,633 --> 00:07:57,633 While, it's fantastic, this is actually not 138 00:07:57,766 --> 00:07:59,266 what we're here to see. 139 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,666 We're here to check out about 150 or so cars 140 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:06,733 in this secret storage area adjacent to the museum. 141 00:08:06,866 --> 00:08:09,900 A lot of these vehicles haven't been seen in years. 142 00:08:10,033 --> 00:08:13,200 It's definitely cool to be underground surrounded by 143 00:08:13,333 --> 00:08:15,933 100 years of automotive history. 144 00:08:16,066 --> 00:08:21,266 Immediately, this rare 1953 Ford X-100 concept car 145 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:22,900 caught my attention. 146 00:08:23,033 --> 00:08:26,200 It looks very futuristic for its time and back then 147 00:08:26,333 --> 00:08:29,166 it was called a "laboratory on wheels." 148 00:08:29,300 --> 00:08:30,400 MATT ANDERSON: It's interesting to note that some 149 00:08:30,533 --> 00:08:32,633 of the styling cues did make it into production. 150 00:08:32,766 --> 00:08:35,266 The front end looks a lot like Lincoln's from the later '50s 151 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:36,800 and if you look at the rear end, 152 00:08:36,933 --> 00:08:38,000 uh, you can see some Thunderbird. 153 00:08:38,133 --> 00:08:40,933 1953 was the 50th anniversary of Ford Motor Company, 154 00:08:41,066 --> 00:08:43,433 so they wanted to celebrate by building a concept car 155 00:08:43,566 --> 00:08:46,433 with what they describe as 50 new innovations. 156 00:08:46,566 --> 00:08:48,566 STEPHANIE: Some of them, like heated seats 157 00:08:48,700 --> 00:08:51,500 and the telephone, eventually became standard. 158 00:08:51,633 --> 00:08:53,100 Some did not. 159 00:08:53,233 --> 00:08:55,466 Well, some of those new innovations didn't quite 160 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:59,400 catch on like the electric shaver in the glove box 161 00:08:59,533 --> 00:09:02,233 and the Dictabelt recorder in the center console, 162 00:09:02,366 --> 00:09:05,466 the idea being that the driver could dictate a letter, 163 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,100 for example, on his way to work. 164 00:09:08,233 --> 00:09:09,966 MATT: My favorite, uh, idea in the car though: 165 00:09:10,100 --> 00:09:12,433 It actually has hydraulic jacks built into the four corners, 166 00:09:12,566 --> 00:09:14,600 so if you get a flat tire you don't have to mess with 167 00:09:14,733 --> 00:09:15,666 the screw jack. 168 00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,400 The car just lifts itself up off the road. 169 00:09:18,533 --> 00:09:21,200 STEPHANIE: One of the most unusual concept cars here 170 00:09:21,333 --> 00:09:25,233 is the 1962 Budd XR-400. 171 00:09:25,366 --> 00:09:28,166 It was based on a Rambler Ambassador chassis, 172 00:09:28,300 --> 00:09:32,066 but with a powerful V8 engine and a sporty looking body. 173 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:33,800 MATT: You'll recognize this as the same formula 174 00:09:33,933 --> 00:09:35,433 that Ford used with the Mustang, 175 00:09:35,566 --> 00:09:37,533 uh, putting a sporty body on the Falcon. 176 00:09:37,666 --> 00:09:39,333 And it's interesting to wonder what would have happened 177 00:09:39,466 --> 00:09:42,233 if Budd had, uh, convinced AMC to put this thing 178 00:09:42,366 --> 00:09:43,233 into production. 179 00:09:43,366 --> 00:09:45,166 AMC passed, ah, they just thought the car 180 00:09:45,300 --> 00:09:46,033 was a little too small. 181 00:09:46,166 --> 00:09:47,266 I think they also, frankly, 182 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,500 didn't have the financial resources to take a big gamble 183 00:09:49,633 --> 00:09:52,033 like that, but, uh, it's a cool car nevertheless 184 00:09:52,166 --> 00:09:54,000 and a great what-if question. 185 00:09:54,133 --> 00:09:56,433 STEPHANIE: Many people don't realize that electric vehicles 186 00:09:56,566 --> 00:09:59,633 were on our roads at the turn of the 20th century, 187 00:09:59,766 --> 00:10:04,000 cars like this 1912 Baker Electric Victoria model, 188 00:10:04,133 --> 00:10:07,500 and range anxiety was an issue back then too. 189 00:10:07,633 --> 00:10:12,033 MATT: They had range of, oh, probably about 30, 35 miles in-- 190 00:10:12,166 --> 00:10:13,600 in real world conditions, though, uh, 191 00:10:13,733 --> 00:10:16,200 some manufacturers advertised range up to 70 miles 192 00:10:16,333 --> 00:10:18,633 on a charge, which is pretty impressive thinking about 193 00:10:18,766 --> 00:10:20,233 1910 or so. 194 00:10:20,366 --> 00:10:22,400 STEPHANIE: Another significant car in the collection 195 00:10:22,533 --> 00:10:26,433 is this 1923 Copper Cooled Chevrolet. 196 00:10:26,566 --> 00:10:29,033 It's powered by an air-cooled engine. 197 00:10:29,166 --> 00:10:30,366 MATT: There are advantages to that. 198 00:10:30,500 --> 00:10:32,533 You don't have to carry coolant or...or water around. 199 00:10:32,666 --> 00:10:34,900 You are going to be, you know, free of the engine, 200 00:10:35,033 --> 00:10:36,833 uh, cracking or the block cracking if you forget 201 00:10:36,966 --> 00:10:38,266 to drain the water in the winter time. 202 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,366 But unfortunately, Chevy just kind of rushed into production 203 00:10:40,500 --> 00:10:42,866 a little too quickly, so the cars began to overheat, 204 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,566 and of the 759 or so that they built, uh, 205 00:10:45,700 --> 00:10:47,633 all of them were recalled. 206 00:10:47,766 --> 00:10:49,666 STEPHANIE: This one is rare because it was purchased 207 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:54,366 by Ford Motor Company engineers to size up the competition. 208 00:10:54,500 --> 00:10:58,466 This secret storage facility also includes luxury cars. 209 00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:00,233 This one stuck out to me. 210 00:11:00,366 --> 00:11:02,000 Can you guess why? 211 00:11:02,133 --> 00:11:04,200 MATT: One of the more luxurious cars in our collection 212 00:11:04,333 --> 00:11:08,600 is a 1926 Rolls Royce New Phantom that was built 213 00:11:08,733 --> 00:11:12,666 for J.P. Morgan Jr., son of the famous financier 214 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:14,800 and uh, you look at this car, it feels like 215 00:11:14,933 --> 00:11:17,500 it's about one and a half times life size. 216 00:11:17,633 --> 00:11:20,800 STEPHANIE: You probably notice it has an elevated roof. 217 00:11:20,933 --> 00:11:25,233 That's because very tall hats were in style back then. 218 00:11:25,366 --> 00:11:28,700 All of the cars in this secret storage facility eventually 219 00:11:28,833 --> 00:11:32,033 make their way upstairs to the museum's main floor 220 00:11:32,166 --> 00:11:34,166 so everyone can enjoy them. 221 00:11:34,300 --> 00:11:37,266 Each one tells an interesting story about the evolution 222 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,500 of the automobile while empowering us as we steer 223 00:11:40,633 --> 00:11:42,933 toward the future of transportation. 224 00:11:44,433 --> 00:11:46,566 JOHN: Touch-up paint: It isn't just about keeping 225 00:11:46,700 --> 00:11:48,300 your finish pristine. 226 00:11:48,433 --> 00:11:51,333 It can also prevent tiny rock chips from turning 227 00:11:51,466 --> 00:11:54,566 into massive rust spots; but there is an art 228 00:11:54,700 --> 00:11:57,700 to this delicate job as Dan Maffett is about 229 00:11:57,833 --> 00:12:00,533 to show us on MotorWeek's "Your Drive." 230 00:12:01,433 --> 00:12:04,733 ♪ ♪ 231 00:12:04,866 --> 00:12:06,100 DAN MAFFETT: No matter what car you drive, 232 00:12:06,233 --> 00:12:08,000 if you have it long enough, eventually you're going to have 233 00:12:08,133 --> 00:12:12,966 to deal with dings, dents, scratches or even rust. 234 00:12:13,100 --> 00:12:15,433 Now, there's plenty of ways to go about fixing it. 235 00:12:16,166 --> 00:12:17,633 Most people are going to jump to a body shop, 236 00:12:17,766 --> 00:12:19,466 but that can be thousands of dollars. 237 00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:22,666 You can get replacement panels like this, or patch panels, 238 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:24,766 but they're all going to need to be color-matched. 239 00:12:24,900 --> 00:12:26,966 You can find junk yards that have some old stuff for you, 240 00:12:27,100 --> 00:12:29,066 but they're going to be pretty banged up. 241 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,400 Now, we got lucky, a quick search on the Internet, 242 00:12:31,533 --> 00:12:34,433 we found a scrap yard that had this exact year, make, 243 00:12:34,566 --> 00:12:36,833 and model...same paint color. 244 00:12:36,966 --> 00:12:37,966 So, we were able to get the fender 245 00:12:38,100 --> 00:12:40,933 for a fraction of the cost and with a little bit 246 00:12:41,066 --> 00:12:43,700 of touch-up paint, it's going to be brand new." 247 00:12:43,833 --> 00:12:46,100 Now, we're at the fender with our touchup pen. 248 00:12:46,233 --> 00:12:48,433 Now, not all touchup pens are created equal. 249 00:12:48,566 --> 00:12:51,733 I always try to get one that has this nib on the front. 250 00:12:51,866 --> 00:12:53,800 A lot of people don't realize that this is a sander. 251 00:12:53,933 --> 00:12:56,533 So, to start, you want to go through each one of these 252 00:12:56,666 --> 00:12:58,866 little nicks that we have and use this sander 253 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,566 to smooth out the edges of the paint so there's nothing sharp, 254 00:13:01,700 --> 00:13:03,966 and it's going to give a nice surface for this touch up paint 255 00:13:04,100 --> 00:13:05,666 to flow into and stick. 256 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:07,433 So, that's what we're going to start with. 257 00:13:07,566 --> 00:13:08,733 Now, it might not feel like it's doing much, 258 00:13:08,866 --> 00:13:12,133 but that is a very aggressive grit. 259 00:13:12,266 --> 00:13:13,666 One important thing to note is that you're not trying 260 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:15,833 to dig any paint out. 261 00:13:15,966 --> 00:13:18,266 You really just want to focus on smoothing the edges, 262 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:20,466 so that nothing is sharp. 263 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:22,833 A lot of people use this and just go to town 264 00:13:22,966 --> 00:13:25,666 and it creates way more damage than what was there. 265 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:27,833 So, once you've gone through and you've sanded out your edges, 266 00:13:27,966 --> 00:13:29,700 there's two applicators. 267 00:13:29,833 --> 00:13:31,666 There's a pen tip, which is a very fine tip, 268 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,300 and then there's a brush tip inside. 269 00:13:34,433 --> 00:13:35,866 Um...we're going to start with the pen tip 270 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,733 on some of these smaller spots, and just flood it in 271 00:13:38,866 --> 00:13:41,366 with some paint, move to the next spot. 272 00:13:41,500 --> 00:13:43,100 Just do a little bit at a time. 273 00:13:43,233 --> 00:13:45,266 Move around a little bit, so it can set up. 274 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:48,100 You can always go back and clean it up. 275 00:13:48,233 --> 00:13:50,433 Now, when you get to a bigger area like this, 276 00:13:50,566 --> 00:13:55,433 I like to step it up to the brush just to have a little bit 277 00:13:55,566 --> 00:13:58,300 more control of the flow. 278 00:13:58,433 --> 00:14:00,466 Now, I like to put it on a little bit thicker 279 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:02,266 than you normally would, but that allows you to go back 280 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,966 and cut and buff it down a little bit and help that blend. 281 00:14:06,100 --> 00:14:08,966 Now, I'm going to let these all tack up, and then go, uh, 282 00:14:09,100 --> 00:14:11,666 back again and make sure we don't have any holes anywhere. 283 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:13,000 So, once you've got your touch-up paint on, 284 00:14:13,133 --> 00:14:14,766 and it's cured for a good amount of time, 285 00:14:14,900 --> 00:14:17,366 you want to go back with a top coat. 286 00:14:17,500 --> 00:14:19,900 Now, these pens, on the opposite side, 287 00:14:20,033 --> 00:14:23,600 have a top coat applicator. 288 00:14:23,733 --> 00:14:26,266 And just like before, you want to just drag it 289 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:30,933 across your touchups, and that's going to add 290 00:14:31,066 --> 00:14:34,133 a nice layer of protection against UV 291 00:14:34,266 --> 00:14:37,300 and just seal those little touchups in. 292 00:14:37,433 --> 00:14:39,166 Now, it's okay if it looks a little bit blobby. 293 00:14:39,300 --> 00:14:41,566 You can go back with some wet sanding, smooth it out. 294 00:14:41,700 --> 00:14:44,333 Speaking about paint and buffing, 295 00:14:44,466 --> 00:14:46,133 we're going to take this, buff it, 296 00:14:46,266 --> 00:14:48,466 get it to match the luster of this car behind us, 297 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,533 and then we're going to put it on, swap out that rusty one. 298 00:14:51,666 --> 00:14:54,000 Now, as always, if you have any questions or comments, 299 00:14:54,133 --> 00:14:56,133 hit us up right here, at MotorWeek . 300 00:14:58,033 --> 00:15:00,233 JOHN:

SUV, 311 00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,700 as the Coupe does have an aggressive rear rake. 312 00:15:31,833 --> 00:15:34,000 Sporty looks can only get you so far, 313 00:15:34,133 --> 00:15:37,966 but the

00:19:06,700 --> 00:19:09,833 JOHN: The reborn GMC Hummer all-electric pickup 383 00:19:09,966 --> 00:19:13,633 delivered all the off-road chops we expect from a Hummer, 384 00:19:13,766 --> 00:19:16,233 plus, the supercar-like acceleration 385 00:19:16,366 --> 00:19:19,433 of a high-performance EV that we didn't expect. 386 00:19:19,566 --> 00:19:21,466 Well, now things have come full circle, 387 00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:24,766 as the Hummer is once again an SUV. 388 00:19:24,900 --> 00:19:28,000 So, let's burn up some rubber, and some electrons, 389 00:19:28,133 --> 00:19:30,433 and learn what's next for Hummer. 390 00:19:31,533 --> 00:19:40,233 ♪ ♪ 391 00:19:40,366 --> 00:19:43,400 What a roller coaster the Hummer has been on. 392 00:19:43,533 --> 00:19:47,100 In seemingly no time at all it went from aspirational 393 00:19:47,233 --> 00:19:51,466 military-inspired ruggedness, to the poster boy for excess 394 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,500 and environmental irresponsibility; 395 00:19:54,633 --> 00:19:57,900 and then just as quickly, it disappeared altogether 396 00:19:58,033 --> 00:20:02,400 as a casualty of GM's 2009 bankruptcy. 397 00:20:02,533 --> 00:20:08,166 Well, then under the GMC banner, the 2022 Hummer EV Pickup 398 00:20:08,300 --> 00:20:12,400 flipped the script by becoming the ultimate pollution-free EV 399 00:20:12,533 --> 00:20:15,966 at a time when EVs were just becoming mainstream. 400 00:20:16,100 --> 00:20:22,266 Since this 2024 GMC Hummer EV SUV more closely resembles 401 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:26,333 the original, it looks like we've come full circle. 402 00:20:26,466 --> 00:20:30,200 Most of the same stuff that made the pickup version so unique 403 00:20:30,333 --> 00:20:34,233 and so awesome are here: interactive LED lighting, 404 00:20:34,366 --> 00:20:37,866 Crab Walk, Super Cruise, Extract Mode, 405 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,933 Watts to Freedom-- just slightly less of it 406 00:20:41,066 --> 00:20:44,500 as the SUV version has four fewer modules in its 407 00:20:44,633 --> 00:20:47,433 double-stacked battery assemblies that make up 408 00:20:47,566 --> 00:20:49,533 this Ultium platform. 409 00:20:49,666 --> 00:20:53,466 This 3X uses the same three-motor arrangement 410 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,700 as the pickup, one up front and two in the rear, 411 00:20:56,833 --> 00:21:01,666 but "only" 830 horsepower here, due to the smaller battery; 412 00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:06,033 though 11,500 pounds of torque is plenty enough for any 413 00:21:06,166 --> 00:21:09,700 land-based automotive task we can imagine. 414 00:21:09,833 --> 00:21:13,800 As to range, if you opt for the Extreme Off-Road package, 415 00:21:13,933 --> 00:21:16,233 which comes with mud-terrain tires, 416 00:21:16,366 --> 00:21:19,533 you'll be limited to just 298 miles; 417 00:21:19,666 --> 00:21:23,833 but the standard setup here is rated for 314. 418 00:21:23,966 --> 00:21:27,800 We saw as much as 305 available in the gauge display, 419 00:21:27,933 --> 00:21:31,633 so we planned a 302 mile road trip and still had 420 00:21:31,766 --> 00:21:35,233 an indicated 46 miles remaining at the end of it, 421 00:21:35,366 --> 00:21:39,266 putting us on pace for a range of 348 miles. 422 00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:41,933 With a 9.0 inch-shorter wheelbase, 423 00:21:42,066 --> 00:21:46,433 the SUV's tidier package makes for better off-roading agility; 424 00:21:46,566 --> 00:21:49,566 that is, if you're comfortable hammering through trails 425 00:21:49,700 --> 00:21:52,733 in your six-figure EV showpiece. 426 00:21:52,866 --> 00:21:55,933 And the SUV has also brought a few new things 427 00:21:56,066 --> 00:22:00,233 to the Hummer portfolio such as satellite-based trail mapping 428 00:22:00,366 --> 00:22:05,300 as part of the myGMC app and a Power Station onboard generator 429 00:22:05,433 --> 00:22:09,366 that gives you 19.2 kilowatt of power for charging things 430 00:22:09,500 --> 00:22:13,000 out on the trail, including other EVs. 431 00:22:13,133 --> 00:22:16,933 Much like the Hummer EV Pickup, it can be a handful 432 00:22:17,066 --> 00:22:20,600 when you give it a foot-full, as Watts to Freedom launches 433 00:22:20,733 --> 00:22:21,933 are no joke. 434 00:22:22,066 --> 00:22:26,766 Then, only 3.6 seconds to 60 for a borderline cinematic 435 00:22:26,900 --> 00:22:31,566 experience with unique displays and sounds along for the ride. 436 00:22:31,700 --> 00:22:33,233 Nothing is held back here. 437 00:22:33,366 --> 00:22:36,533 Full power is unleashed whether there's enough grip for it 438 00:22:36,666 --> 00:22:39,766 or not, so you tend to get pulled in different directions 439 00:22:39,900 --> 00:22:42,333 as you take off and, for the most part, 440 00:22:42,466 --> 00:22:44,600 the whole way down the track. 441 00:22:44,733 --> 00:22:47,300 We cleared the quarter in 12.3 seconds 442 00:22:47,433 --> 00:22:52,300 at 112 miles per hour as power never really lets up. 443 00:22:52,433 --> 00:22:56,100 It's easy to say that an 8,500 pounds vehicle 444 00:22:56,233 --> 00:22:58,666 probably shouldn't be moving that fast, 445 00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,333 but a few trips through our handling course 446 00:23:01,466 --> 00:23:05,733 reveals it has more than enough stuff to handle that weight. 447 00:23:05,866 --> 00:23:08,000 If you're not afraid of some body roll, 448 00:23:08,133 --> 00:23:11,733 you can push it quite hard, and it will turn in without issues; 449 00:23:11,866 --> 00:23:14,666 the 4-wheel steering clearly helps. 450 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:16,800 And it dealt with that weight just fine 451 00:23:16,933 --> 00:23:20,533 in panic braking runs too, stopping us from 60 452 00:23:20,666 --> 00:23:25,066 in a respectable 130 feet with no drama. 453 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:28,200 With everything forward of the rear seats the same 454 00:23:28,333 --> 00:23:32,300 as the Hummer Pickup, the interior is very familiar. 455 00:23:32,433 --> 00:23:34,866 There's plenty of comfort and space for three 456 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:38,333 in the rear seats...plus, lots of flexibility. 457 00:23:38,466 --> 00:23:41,500 Cargo area is accessed through a side-opening, 458 00:23:41,633 --> 00:23:46,800 power-operated door that reveals 35.9 cubic-feet of space, 459 00:23:46,933 --> 00:23:52,066 which expands to 81.8 cubic-feet with the seatbacks folded; 460 00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:55,700 and of course, there's also 11.3 cubic-feet 461 00:23:55,833 --> 00:23:59,000 in the front under hood cargo area. 462 00:23:59,133 --> 00:24:01,733 But even with the shift to battery power, 463 00:24:01,866 --> 00:24:04,200 this Hummer remains very thirsty, 464 00:24:04,333 --> 00:24:09,466 using 63 kilowatt-hour of energy per 100 miles. 465 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:14,533 Pricing for this 3X starts at $106,945, 466 00:24:14,666 --> 00:24:19,333 the two-motor 2X at $98,845. 467 00:24:19,466 --> 00:24:22,100 Both the same as the Pickup. 468 00:24:22,233 --> 00:24:25,166 While, it can seem more ridiculous than practical, 469 00:24:25,300 --> 00:24:28,133 it's hard not to love the reborn Hummer. 470 00:24:28,266 --> 00:24:31,866 Not only is it a purely unique automotive experience, 471 00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:34,633 but it's a rolling example of what's possible 472 00:24:34,766 --> 00:24:38,166 with battery power, while at the same time 473 00:24:38,300 --> 00:24:42,533 being incredibly fun and surprisingly easy to drive. 474 00:24:42,666 --> 00:24:48,233 The 2024 GMC Hummer EV SUV delivers much the same 475 00:24:48,366 --> 00:24:52,100 macho bravado of the original Hummer H1, 476 00:24:52,233 --> 00:24:54,600 but does it for a new era. 477 00:24:55,933 --> 00:24:58,100 Well, that's our show, I hope you enjoyed it. 478
