2026 Hummer EV: What Upgrades and Changes Can We Expect?

[super8]

Is it too early to start discussing the 2026 Hummer EV and the upgrades or changes GMC might introduce?

After four years on the market, it’s likely due for a mid-cycle refresh. What features or improvements would you like to see?

It's never too early! It's surprising to me that the Hummer EV has been on the market for four years already. I would have to think a mid-cycle refresh would be announced sometime this year.

I would love to see an update to the electronics or at least an over-the-air update to improve some things that other EV manufacturers offer. I would also like more interior/ambient lighting and massaging front seats.

What features / upgrades / additions would be welcomed?

From another thread, it would be nice to see State of Charge shown as a percentage on the driver's screen.

how about massaging seats....

If changes are being made, when could we start hearing about them? In the fall?

I'm hoping we get a teaser within the next couple of months.

Fyi.. I was inquiring about the vehicle to home energy system that GM has developed and the current Hummer isnt enabled for it. Other EVs like cadillac Lyric & Optic, chevy silverado and Blazer, GMC Denali, etc all are already capable. When I inquired about the Hummer they told me the 2026 Models would be enabled/capable.

The above is all I know about the 2026 Model, however as far as my desire goes, I hope they get rid of the gold trim on the interior (I think it looks tacky) and would be great if they could make it more capable for camping, such as include a solar panel connect port that could be used to recharge the battery directly from solar panels while out camping vs having to use an external battery and the regular ev charge port. It would be a trickle charge of course depending on how many panels were connected but if camping a few days with good sun conditions, it could add a few miles of charge. Additionally, a shell angled like the military hummers, which could have an opening lid with tent attachments for sleeping in the back (this would be on the Hummer truck version of course. Imagine opening the tail gate and the shell lid, and zipping in a tent to inclose the truck bed. There would be a good 7 ft of space and with an air mattress one could sleep comfortably). So if anyone from GM is listening I think this would be a game changer!!

Also, I think the base model should be the off road version and upgrades should be geared towards the bigger rims, etc...

Lol. The rose gold trim is on the vents is my favourite thing about the hummer...I dont want it looking like every other vehicle.

Get the aux battery or larger battery on SUV. I’m surprised how well the Hummer EV battery lasts. Starlink mini options would be helpful. Slant back option would be cool. Show the vehicle locked in the app like Tesla does rather than a button just to press and lock. Deeper storage compartment in rear. More intuitive infotainment!

I agree

GMAuthority published an article today stating that regular production for the 2026 GMC Hummer EV Pickup and SUV is set to begin on July 14, 2025. Dealers can start submitting orders on May 30.

No major changes are expected for the 2026 model, but like other GM EVs, it’s expected to feature a North American Charging Standard (NACS) connector instead of the current CCS port.
