4 years ago.
01:34.666 --> 01:36.933 align:start position:15% line:58% size:70%
Still the same Hyundai value
we loved,
01:37.066 --> 01:40.800 align:start position:12.5% line:58% size:75%
but with more luxury, and more
room for growing families.

Available in either Abyss Black

03:10.800 --> 03:14.766 align:start position:12.5% line:10% size:77.5%
All-wheel-drives get additional
Snow and Tow driving modes,

03:30.800 --> 03:33.633 align:start position:22.5% line:10% size:55%
Nothing changes there,
but it's more than enough
03:33.766 --> 03:36.900 align:start position:15% line:10% size:72.5%

03:43.466 --> 03:46.633 align:start position:15% line:10% size:72.5%
In addition to steering wheel
mounted paddle shifters,

45.8 behind the second,

At Mason Dixon Dragway,
the Night Edition delivered
05:14.666 --> 05:17.900 align:start position:20% line:10% size:62.5%
a moderate dose of power,
enough to battle a little
05:18.033 --> 05:21.866 align:start position:22.5% line:10% size:57.5%
wheel spin off the line
leading to a steady jog to 60
05:22.000 --> 05:25.066 align:start position:32.5% line:10% size:37.5%
of 7.6 seconds;
about a half second slower
05:25.200 --> 05:27.633 align:start position:22.5% line:10% size:55%
than the last Palisade
we tested.
05:27.766 --> 05:32.300 align:start position:12.5% line:10% size:77.5%
Gear changes happened smoothly,
causing minor power flow pauses
05:32.433 --> 05:36.200 align:start position:15% line:10% size:70%
throughout the quarter-mile,
completed in 15.8 seconds
05:36.333 --> 05:39.100 align:start position:20% line:10% size:62.5%
at a respectable 90 miles

05:39.233 --> 05:43.733 align:start position:17.5% line:10% size:67.5%
This big unibody bruiser is

05:53.766 --> 05:56.200 align:start position:15% line:10% size:72.5%
There was a reasonable amount
of feedback through
05:56.333 --> 05:58.566 align:start position:27.5% line:10% size:47.5%
the steering wheel,
helping us stay on top
05:58.700 --> 06:01.633 align:start position:15% line:10% size:72.5%
of the slight understeer that
we encountered.
06:01.766 --> 06:05.533 align:start position:10% line:10% size:80%
There was very soft pedal action
in our panic braking runs,
06:05.666 --> 06:08.433 align:start position:12.5% line:10% size:75%
along with a reasonable amount
of nosedive,
06:08.566 --> 06:12.933 align:start position:22.5% line:10% size:57.5%

Even with the Night Edition
establishing a new high mark,
06:38.066 --> 06:41.133 align:start position:10% line:10% size:80%
it's still priced less than many
large 3-row utilities
06:41.266 --> 06:44.733 align:start position:37.5% line:10% size:27.5%
at $55,245.
06:44.866 --> 06:48.566 align:start position:12.5% line:10% size:77.5%

Calligraphy,
06:48.700 --> 06:53.766 align:start position:12.5% line:10% size:77.5%
and about $17,000 more than the
base SE Palisade.
06:53.900 --> 06:58.733 align:start position:12.5% line:10% size:75%

It's definitely cool to be
underground surrounded by
08:13.333 --> 08:15.933 align:start position:10% line:84.67% size:80%
100 years of automotive history.
08:16.066 --> 08:21.266 align:start position:17.5% line:63.33% size:67.5%
Immediately, this rare 1953
Ford X-100 concept car
08:21.400 --> 08:22.900 align:start position:25% line:84.67% size:50%
caught my attention.
08:23.033 --> 08:26.200 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:60%
It looks very futuristic
for its time and back then
08:26.333 --> 08:29.166 align:start position:32.5% line:79.33% size:37.5%
it was called a
"laboratory on wheels."
08:29.300 --> 08:30.400 align:start position:12.5% line:63.33% size:77.5%
MATT ANDERSON: It's interesting
to note that some
08:30.533 --> 08:32.633 align:start position:12.5% line:63.33% size:77.5%
of the styling cues did make it
into production.
08:32.766 --> 08:35.266 align:start position:12.5% line:63.33% size:75%
The front end looks a lot like
Lincoln's from the later '50s
08:35.400 --> 08:36.800 align:start position:10% line:84.67% size:80%
and if you look at the rear end,
08:36.933 --> 08:38.000 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:50%
uh, you can see some
Thunderbird.
08:38.133 --> 08:40.933 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:72.5%
1953 was the 50th anniversary
of Ford Motor Company,
08:41.066 --> 08:43.433 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:75%
so they wanted to celebrate by
building a concept car
08:43.566 --> 08:46.433 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:65%
with what they describe as
50 new innovations.
08:46.566 --> 08:48.566 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:60%
STEPHANIE: Some of them,
like heated seats
08:48.700 --> 08:51.500 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45%
and the telephone,
eventually became standard.
08:51.633 --> 08:53.100 align:start position:35% line:84.67% size:32.5%
Some did not.
08:53.233 --> 08:55.466 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:57.5%
Well, some of those new
innovations didn't quite
08:55.600 --> 08:59.400 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:65%
catch on like the electric
shaver in the glove box
08:59.533 --> 09:02.233 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:72.5%
and the Dictabelt recorder in
the center console,
09:02.366 --> 09:05.466 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:75%
the idea being that the driver
could dictate a letter,
09:05.600 --> 09:08.100 align:start position:35% line:79.33% size:30%
for example,
on his way to work.
09:08.233 --> 09:09.966 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:55%
MATT: My favorite, uh,
idea in the car though:
09:10.100 --> 09:12.433 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:77.5%
It actually has hydraulic jacks
built into the four corners,
09:12.566 --> 09:14.600 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:72.5%
so if you get a flat tire you
don't have to mess with
09:14.733 --> 09:15.666 align:start position:32.5% line:84.67% size:37.5%
the screw jack.
09:15.800 --> 09:18.400 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:70%
The car just lifts itself up
off the road.
09:18.533 --> 09:21.200 align:start position:17.5% line:63.33% size:65%
STEPHANIE: One of the most
unusual concept cars here
09:21.333 --> 09:25.233 align:start position:20% line:63.33% size:60%
is the 1962 Budd XR-400.
09:25.366 --> 09:28.166 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:62.5%
It was based on a Rambler
Ambassador chassis,
09:28.300 --> 09:32.066 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:72.5%
but with a powerful V8 engine
and a sporty looking body.
09:32.200 --> 09:33.800 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:67.5%
MATT: You'll recognize this
as the same formula
09:33.933 --> 09:35.433 align:start position:10% line:84.67% size:80%
that Ford used with the Mustang,
09:35.566 --> 09:37.533 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:62.5%
uh, putting a sporty body
on the Falcon.
09:37.666 --> 09:39.333 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:75%
And it's interesting to wonder
what would have happened
09:39.466 --> 09:42.233 align:start position:30% line:79.33% size:40%
if Budd had, uh,
convinced AMC to put this thing
09:42.366 --> 09:43.233 align:start position:30% line:84.67% size:40%
into production.
09:43.366 --> 09:45.166 align:start position:32.5% line:79.33% size:37.5%
AMC passed, ah,
they just thought the car
09:45.300 --> 09:46.033 align:start position:22.5% line:84.67% size:57.5%
was a little too small.
09:46.166 --> 09:47.266 align:start position:17.5% line:84.67% size:67.5%
I think they also, frankly,
09:47.400 --> 09:49.500 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:62.5%
didn't have the financial
resources to take a big gamble
09:49.633 --> 09:52.033 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:47.5%
like that, but, uh,
it's a cool car nevertheless
09:52.166 --> 09:54.000 align:start position:15% line:84.67% size:72.5%
and a great what-if question.
09:54.133 --> 09:56.433 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:70%
STEPHANIE: Many people don't
realize that electric vehicles
09:56.566 --> 09:59.633 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:72.5%
were on our roads at the turn
of the 20th century,
09:59.766 --> 10:04.000 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:62.5%
cars like this 1912 Baker
Electric Victoria model,
10:04.133 --> 10:07.500 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:75%
and range anxiety was an issue
back then too.
10:07.633 --> 10:12.033 align:start position:15% line:63.33% size:70%
MATT: They had range of, oh,
probably about 30, 35 miles in--
10:12.166 --> 10:13.600 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:62.5%
in real world conditions,
though, uh,
10:13.733 --> 10:16.200 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:72.5%
some manufacturers advertised
range up to 70 miles
10:16.333 --> 10:18.633 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:70%
on a charge, which is pretty
impressive thinking about
10:18.766 --> 10:20.233 align:start position:37.5% line:84.67% size:27.5%
1910 or so.
10:20.366 --> 10:22.400 align:start position:12.5% line:63.33% size:75%
STEPHANIE: Another significant
car in the collection
10:22.533 --> 10:26.433 align:start position:17.5% line:63.33% size:65%
is this 1923 Copper Cooled
Chevrolet.
10:26.566 --> 10:29.033 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:72.5%
It's powered by an air-cooled
engine.
10:29.166 --> 10:30.366 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:65%
MATT: There are advantages
to that.
10:30.500 --> 10:32.533 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:77.5%
You don't have to carry coolant
or...or water around.
10:32.666 --> 10:34.900 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:50%
You are going to be,
you know, free of the engine,
10:35.033 --> 10:36.833 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:62.5%
uh, cracking or the block
cracking if you forget
10:36.966 --> 10:38.266 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:62.5%
to drain the water in the
winter time.
10:38.400 --> 10:40.366 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:72.5%
But unfortunately, Chevy just
kind of rushed into production
10:40.500 --> 10:42.866 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:52.5%
a little too quickly,
so the cars began to overheat,
10:43.000 --> 10:45.566 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:62.5%
and of the 759 or so that
they built, uh,
10:45.700 --> 10:47.633 align:start position:17.5% line:84.67% size:65%
all of them were recalled.
10:47.766 --> 10:49.666 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:67.5%
STEPHANIE: This one is rare
because it was purchased
10:49.800 --> 10:54.366 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:77.5%
by Ford Motor Company engineers
to size up the competition.
10:54.500 --> 10:58.466 align:start position:15% line:63.33% size:70%
This secret storage facility
also includes luxury cars.
10:58.600 --> 11:00.233 align:start position:20% line:63.33% size:62.5%
This one stuck out to me.
11:00.366 --> 11:02.000 align:start position:27.5% line:63.33% size:45%
Can you guess why?
11:02.133 --> 11:04.200 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:77.5%
MATT: One of the more luxurious
cars in our collection
11:04.333 --> 11:08.600 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:52.5%
is a 1926 Rolls Royce
New Phantom that was built
11:08.733 --> 11:12.666 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:50%
for J.P. Morgan Jr.,
son of the famous financier
11:12.800 --> 11:14.800 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:72.5%
and uh, you look at this car,
it feels like
11:14.933 --> 11:17.500 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:77.5%
it's about one and a half times
life size.
11:17.633 --> 11:20.800 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:75%
STEPHANIE: You probably notice
it has an elevated roof.
11:20.933 --> 11:25.233 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:72.5%
That's because very tall hats
were in style back then.
11:25.366 --> 11:28.700 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:75%
All of the cars in this secret
storage facility eventually
11:28.833 --> 11:32.033 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:65%
make their way upstairs to
the museum's main floor
11:32.166 --> 11:34.166 align:start position:17.5% line:84.67% size:67.5%
so everyone can enjoy them.
11:34.300 --> 11:37.266 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:72.5%
Each one tells an interesting
story about the evolution
11:37.400 --> 11:40.500 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:57.5%
of the automobile while
empowering us as we steer
11:40.633 --> 11:42.933 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:50%
toward the future of
transportation.
11:44.433 --> 11:46.566 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:52.5%
JOHN: Touch-up paint:
It isn't just about keeping
11:46.700 --> 11:48.300 align:start position:25% line:84.67% size:52.5%
your finish pristine.
11:48.433 --> 11:51.333 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:60%
It can also prevent tiny
rock chips from turning
11:51.466 --> 11:54.566 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:60%
into massive rust spots;
but there is an art
11:54.700 --> 11:57.700 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:57.5%
to this delicate job as
Dan Maffett is about
11:57.833 --> 12:00.533 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:62.5%
to show us on MotorWeek's
"Your Drive."
12:01.433 --> 12:04.733 align:start position:10% line:10% size:7.5%
♪ ♪
12:04.866 --> 12:06.100 align:start position:22.5% line:42% size:55%
DAN MAFFETT: No matter
what car you drive,
12:06.233 --> 12:08.000 align:start position:17.5% line:42% size:67.5%
if you have it long enough,
eventually you're going to have
12:08.133 --> 12:12.966 align:start position:17.5% line:42% size:65%
to deal with dings, dents,
scratches or even rust.
12:13.100 --> 12:15.433 align:start position:22.5% line:42% size:55%
Now, there's plenty of
ways to go about fixing it.
12:16.166 --> 12:17.633 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:52.5%
Most people are going
to jump to a body shop,
12:17.766 --> 12:19.466 align:start position:32.5% line:79.33% size:37.5%
but that can be
thousands of dollars.
12:19.600 --> 12:22.666 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:75%
You can get replacement panels
like this, or patch panels,
12:22.800 --> 12:24.766 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:60%
but they're all going to
need to be color-matched.
12:24.900 --> 12:26.966 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:70%
You can find junk yards that
have some old stuff for you,
12:27.100 --> 12:29.066 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:50%
but they're going to
be pretty banged up.
12:29.200 --> 12:31.400 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:65%
Now, we got lucky, a quick
search on the Internet,
12:31.533 --> 12:34.433 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:52.5%
we found a scrap yard
that had this exact year, make,
12:34.566 --> 12:36.833 align:start position:15% line:84.67% size:72.5%
and model...same paint color.
12:36.966 --> 12:37.966 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:47.5%
So, we were able to
get the fender
12:38.100 --> 12:40.933 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:65%
for a fraction of the cost
and with a little bit
12:41.066 --> 12:43.700 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45%
of touch-up paint,
it's going to be brand new."
12:43.833 --> 12:46.100 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:60%
Now, we're at the fender
with our touchup pen.
12:46.233 --> 12:48.433 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:62.5%
Now, not all touchup pens
are created equal.
12:48.566 --> 12:51.733 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:70%
I always try to get one that
has this nib on the front.
12:51.866 --> 12:53.800 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:72.5%
A lot of people don't realize
that this is a sander.
12:53.933 --> 12:56.533 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:70%
So, to start, you want to go
through each one of these
12:56.666 --> 12:58.866 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:62.5%
little nicks that we have
and use this sander
12:59.000 --> 13:01.566 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:75%
to smooth out the edges of the
paint so there's nothing sharp,
13:01.700 --> 13:03.966 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:72.5%
and it's going to give a nice
surface for this touch up paint
13:04.100 --> 13:05.666 align:start position:22.5% line:84.67% size:57.5%
to flow into and stick.
13:05.800 --> 13:07.433 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:67.5%
So, that's what we're going
to start with.
13:07.566 --> 13:08.733 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:67.5%
Now, it might not feel like
it's doing much,
13:08.866 --> 13:12.133 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45%
but that is a very
aggressive grit.
13:12.266 --> 13:13.666 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:67.5%
One important thing to note
is that you're not trying
13:13.800 --> 13:15.833 align:start position:25% line:84.67% size:52.5%
to dig any paint out.
13:15.966 --> 13:18.266 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:72.5%
You really just want to focus
on smoothing the edges,
13:18.400 --> 13:20.466 align:start position:20% line:84.67% size:62.5%
so that nothing is sharp.
13:20.600 --> 13:22.833 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:60%
A lot of people use this
and just go to town
13:22.966 --> 13:25.666 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:75%
and it creates way more damage
than what was there.
13:25.800 --> 13:27.833 align:start position:10% line:79.33% size:80%
So, once you've gone through and
you've sanded out your edges,
13:27.966 --> 13:29.700 align:start position:20% line:84.67% size:60%
there's two applicators.
13:29.833 --> 13:31.666 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45%
There's a pen tip,
which is a very fine tip,
13:31.800 --> 13:34.300 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:60%
and then there's a brush
tip inside.
13:34.433 --> 13:35.866 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:47.5%
Um...we're going to
start with the pen tip
13:36.000 --> 13:38.733 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:77.5%
on some of these smaller spots,
and just flood it in
13:38.866 --> 13:41.366 align:start position:30% line:79.33% size:40%
with some paint,
move to the next spot.
13:41.500 --> 13:43.100 align:start position:12.5% line:84.67% size:77.5%
Just do a little bit at a time.
13:43.233 --> 13:45.266 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:62.5%
Move around a little bit,
so it can set up.
13:45.400 --> 13:48.100 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:55%
You can always go back
and clean it up.
13:48.233 --> 13:50.433 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:72.5%
Now, when you get to a bigger
area like this,
13:50.566 --> 13:55.433 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:67.5%
I like to step it up to the
brush just to have a little bit
13:55.566 --> 13:58.300 align:start position:20% line:84.67% size:62.5%
more control of the flow.
13:58.433 --> 14:00.466 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:60%
Now, I like to put it on
a little bit thicker
14:00.600 --> 14:02.266 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:60%
than you normally would,
but that allows you to go back
14:02.400 --> 14:05.966 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:65%
and cut and buff it down a
little bit and help that blend.
14:06.100 --> 14:08.966 align:start position:17.5% line:68.67% size:67.5%
Now, I'm going to let these
all tack up, and then go, uh,
14:09.100 --> 14:11.666 align:start position:17.5% line:68.67% size:67.5%
back again and make sure we
don't have any holes anywhere.
14:11.800 --> 14:13.000 align:start position:20% line:68.67% size:60%
So, once you've got your
touch-up paint on,
14:13.133 --> 14:14.766 align:start position:20% line:68.67% size:62.5%
and it's cured for a good
amount of time,
14:14.900 --> 14:17.366 align:start position:20% line:68.67% size:60%
you want to go back with
a top coat.
14:17.500 --> 14:19.900 align:start position:30% line:79.33% size:40%
Now, these pens,
on the opposite side,
14:20.033 --> 14:23.600 align:start position:17.5% line:84.67% size:67.5%
have a top coat applicator.
14:23.733 --> 14:26.266 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:52.5%
And just like before,
you want to just drag it
14:26.400 --> 14:30.933 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:52.5%
across your touchups,
and that's going to add
14:31.066 --> 14:34.133 align:start position:32.5% line:79.33% size:37.5%
a nice layer of
protection against UV
14:34.266 --> 14:37.300 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:65%
and just seal those little
touchups in.
14:37.433 --> 14:39.166 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:65%
Now, it's okay if it looks
a little bit blobby.
14:39.300 --> 14:41.566 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:62.5%
You can go back with some
wet sanding, smooth it out.
14:41.700 --> 14:44.333 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:50%
Speaking about paint
and buffing,
14:44.466 --> 14:46.133 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:62.5%
we're going to take this,
buff it,
14:46.266 --> 14:48.466 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:65%
get it to match the luster
of this car behind us,
14:48.600 --> 14:51.533 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:75%
and then we're going to put it
on, swap out that rusty one.
14:51.666 --> 14:54.000 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:67.5%

Mercedes-Benz GLC SUV
15:08.300 --> 15:11.000 align:start position:30% line:10% size:40%
arrived for '23,
we figured the sportier Coupe
15:11.133 --> 15:12.600 align:start position:22.5% line:10% size:57.5%
wouldn't be far behind;
15:12.733 --> 15:15.433 align:start position:30% line:10% size:40%

it's Mercedes,
15:21.366 --> 15:25.966 align:start position:15% line:10% size:70%
and this AMG GLC 43 Coupe is
a prime example of that.
15:26.100 --> 15:29.066 align:start position:15% line:10% size:72.5%
There's no doubt it looks the
part when compared to the SUV,
15:29.200 --> 15:31.700 align:start position:22.5% line:10% size:55%
as the Coupe does have
an aggressive rear rake.
15:31.833 --> 15:34.000 align:start position:15% line:10% size:72.5%
Sporty looks can only get you
so far,
15:34.133 --> 15:37.966 align:start position:12.5% line:10% size:75%

rated at 416 horsepower,
15:50.666 --> 15:54.800 align:start position:12.5% line:10% size:75%
quite a leap from the standard
GLC's 255 HP.
15:54.933 --> 15:57.400 align:start position:20% line:10% size:62.5%

16:13.300 --> 16:16.566 align:start position:20% line:10% size:62.5%
but certainly firmer than
the "regular" GLC's setup,
16:16.700 --> 16:19.300 align:start position:15% line:10% size:72.5%
and we appreciate the ability
to switch between sporty
16:19.433 --> 16:21.800 align:start position:10% line:10% size:80%

16:21.933 --> 16:24.633 align:start position:20% line:10% size:62.5%

21:13.933 --> 21:16.233 align:start position:15% line:10% size:70%
which comes with mud-terrain
tires,
21:16.366 --> 21:19.533 align:start position:20% line:10% size:62.5%
you'll be limited to just
298 miles;
21:19.666 --> 21:23.833 align:start position:17.5% line:10% size:67.5%
but the standard setup here
is rated for 314.
21:23.966 --> 21:27.800 align:start position:12.5% line:10% size:77.5%
We saw as much as 305 available
in the gauge display,
21:27.933 --> 21:31.633 align:start position:20% line:10% size:60%
so we planned a 302 mile
road trip and still had
21:31.766 --> 21:35.233 align:start position:12.5% line:10% size:77.5%
an indicated 46 miles remaining
at the end of it,
21:35.366 --> 21:39.266 align:start position:12.5% line:10% size:75%
putting us on pace for a range
of 348 miles.
21:39.400 --> 21:41.933 align:start position:22.5% line:10% size:57.5%
With a 9.0 inch-shorter
wheelbase,
21:42.066 --> 21:46.433 align:start position:12.5% line:10% size:75%
the SUV's tidier package makes
for better off-roading agility;
21:46.566 --> 21:49.566 align:start position:12.5% line:10% size:75%
that is, if you're comfortable
hammering through trails
21:49.700 --> 21:52.733 align:start position:10% line:10% size:80%
in your six-figure EV showpiece.
21:52.866 --> 21:55.933 align:start position:25% line:10% size:50%
And the SUV has also
brought a few new things
21:56.066 --> 22:00.233 align:start position:12.5% line:10% size:77.5%
to the Hummer portfolio such as
satellite-based trail mapping
22:00.366 --> 22:05.300 align:start position:12.5% line:10% size:75%
as part of the myGMC app and a
Power Station onboard generator
22:05.433 --> 22:09.366 align:start position:12.5% line:10% size:77.5%
that gives you 19.2 kilowatt of
power for charging things
22:09.500 --> 22:13.000 align:start position:30% line:10% size:42.5%
out on the trail,
including other EVs.
22:13.133 --> 22:16.933 align:start position:12.5% line:10% size:77.5%
Much like the Hummer EV Pickup,
it can be a handful
22:17.066 --> 22:20.600 align:start position:15% line:10% size:72.5%
when you give it a foot-full,
as Watts to Freedom launches
22:20.733 --> 22:21.933 align:start position:35% line:10% size:30%
are no joke.
22:22.066 --> 22:26.766 align:start position:15% line:10% size:70%
Then, only 3.6 seconds to 60
for a borderline cinematic
22:26.900 --> 22:31.566 align:start position:12.5% line:10% size:77.5%
experience with unique displays
and sounds along for the ride.
22:31.700 --> 22:33.233 align:start position:17.5% line:10% size:65%
Nothing is held back here.
22:33.366 --> 22:36.533 align:start position:12.5% line:10% size:77.5%
Full power is unleashed whether
there's enough grip for it
22:36.666 --> 22:39.766 align:start position:17.5% line:10% size:65%
or not, so you tend to get
pulled in different directions
22:39.900 --> 22:42.333 align:start position:25% line:10% size:50%
as you take off and,
for the most part,
22:42.466 --> 22:44.600 align:start position:15% line:10% size:72.5%
the whole way down the track.
22:44.733 --> 22:47.300 align:start position:22.5% line:10% size:55%
We cleared the quarter
in 12.3 seconds
22:47.433 --> 22:52.300 align:start position:12.5% line:10% size:75%
at 112 miles per hour as power
never really lets up.
22:52.433 --> 22:56.100 align:start position:20% line:10% size:60%
It's easy to say that an
8,500 pounds vehicle
22:56.233 --> 22:58.666 align:start position:15% line:10% size:70%
probably shouldn't be moving
that fast,
22:58.800 --> 23:01.333 align:start position:22.5% line:10% size:57.5%
but a few trips through
our handling course
23:01.466 --> 23:05.733 align:start position:12.5% line:10% size:77.5%
reveals it has more than enough
stuff to handle that weight.
23:05.866 --> 23:08.000 align:start position:22.5% line:10% size:57.5%
If you're not afraid of
some body roll,
23:08.133 --> 23:11.733 align:start position:12.5% line:10% size:77.5%
you can push it quite hard, and
it will turn in without issues;
23:11.866 --> 23:14.666 align:start position:25% line:10% size:50%
the 4-wheel steering
clearly helps.
23:14.800 --> 23:16.800 align:start position:22.5% line:10% size:55%
And it dealt with that
weight just fine
23:16.933 --> 23:20.533 align:start position:17.5% line:10% size:65%
in panic braking runs too,
stopping us from 60
23:20.666 --> 23:25.066 align:start position:20% line:10% size:62.5%
in a respectable 130 feet
with no drama.
23:25.200 --> 23:28.200 align:start position:17.5% line:10% size:65%
With everything forward of
the rear seats the same
23:28.333 --> 23:32.300 align:start position:25% line:47.33% size:52.5%
as the Hummer Pickup,
the interior is very familiar.
23:32.433 --> 23:34.866 align:start position:20% line:47.33% size:62.5%
There's plenty of comfort
and space for three
23:35.000 --> 23:38.333 align:start position:20% line:47.33% size:62.5%
in the rear seats...plus,
lots of flexibility.
23:38.466 --> 23:41.500 align:start position:12.5% line:10% size:75%
Cargo area is accessed through
a side-opening,
23:41.633 --> 23:46.800 align:start position:10% line:10% size:80%
power-operated door that reveals
35.9 cubic-feet of space,
23:46.933 --> 23:52.066 align:start position:10% line:10% size:80%
which expands to 81.8 cubic-feet
with the seatbacks folded;
23:52.200 --> 23:55.700 align:start position:32.5% line:10% size:35%
and of course,
there's also 11.3 cubic-feet
23:55.833 --> 23:59.000 align:start position:22.5% line:10% size:57.5%
in the front under hood
cargo area.
23:59.133 --> 24:01.733 align:start position:17.5% line:10% size:65%
But even with the shift to
battery power,
24:01.866 --> 24:04.200 align:start position:27.5% line:10% size:47.5%
this Hummer remains
very thirsty,
24:04.333 --> 24:09.466 align:start position:20% line:10% size:62.5%
using 63 kilowatt-hour of
energy per 100 miles.
24:09.600 --> 24:14.533 align:start position:17.5% line:10% size:65%
Pricing for this 3X starts
at $106,945,
24:14.666 --> 24:19.333 align:start position:15% line:10% size:70%
the two-motor 2X at $98,845.
24:19.466 --> 24:22.100 align:start position:15% line:10% size:70%
Both the same as the Pickup.
24:22.233 --> 24:25.166 align:start position:22.5% line:10% size:57.5%
While, it can seem more
ridiculous than practical,
24:25.300 --> 24:28.133 align:start position:25% line:10% size:52.5%
it's hard not to love
the reborn Hummer.
24:28.266 --> 24:31.866 align:start position:12.5% line:10% size:75%
Not only is it a purely unique
automotive experience,
24:32.000 --> 24:34.633 align:start position:17.5% line:10% size:65%
but it's a rolling example
of what's possible
24:34.766 --> 24:38.166 align:start position:27.5% line:10% size:47.5%
with battery power,
while at the same time
24:38.300 --> 24:42.533 align:start position:20% line:10% size:60%
being incredibly fun and
surprisingly easy to drive.
24:42.666 --> 24:48.233 align:start position:17.5% line:10% size:65%
The 2024 GMC Hummer EV SUV
delivers much the same
24:48.366 --> 24:52.100 align:start position:15% line:10% size:72.5%
macho bravado of the original
Hummer H1,
24:52.233 --> 24:54.600 align:start position:17.5% line:10% size:65%
but does it for a new era.
24:55.933 --> 24:58.100 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:55%
Well, that's our show,
I hope you enjoyed it.
