The 2027 Hummer EV Icon 25 Celebrates A Long-Dead Gas Guzzler

  • GMC has introduced the 2027 Hummer EV Icon | 25 Edition.
  • Yellow and black model celebrates the H2’s 25th anniversary.
  • 2027 model also gains native NACS port for easier charging.

General Motors is celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Hummer H2 by introducing the Hummer EV Icon | 25. It’s a special edition “born from a legacy of bold design, cultural impact and unmistakable presence.”

That’s overly ambitious praise for a slow-selling EV lineup and a brand that was dead for a decade, but the model wears a bright yellow Icon paint job inspired by the eye-catching hue offered on the H2. It’s contrasted by a number of black accents including the wheels, cladding, mirrors, and roof. The model also has black recovery points and skid plates.

Interior changes are likewise minor, but include a new Jet Black cabin with unique infotainment graphics. They’re joined by a serialized badge on the dashboard, which notes the vehicle is one of 250. Buyers will also receive an “exclusive keepsake,” but GMC declined to say what it is.

The Icon | 25 package will be offered on 2X and 3X versions of the truck and SUV. There’s no word on pricing, but the 2026 models begin at $97,825 before a $2,695 destination fee.

2027 Model Year Updates

Besides the special edition, GMC announced a handful of model year updates including a native North American Charging Standard (NACS) port. It allows for easy access to Tesla Superchargers and the company noted the change doesn’t impact its vehicle-to-home bidirectional charging capability.

Additional changes are limited, but buyers will find four other new exterior colors known as Azurite Blue, Dark Ember, Dark Ridge, and Deep Void Matte. There are also two new 22-inch wheel designs.

The 2027 GMC Hummer EV will go into production later this year and feature familiar powertrains. This means the model offers up to 1,160 hp (865 kW / 1,176 PS) and can hit 60 mph (96 km/h) in as little as 2.8 seconds.

GM’s EV Trucks Bombed, So Dealers Are Offering Huge Discounts

  • Dealers are slapping big discounts on slow-selling GM electric trucks.
  • A new 2024 model has been marked down by more than $21,000.
  • Many trucks have been transformed into courtesy transportation vehicles.

General Motors had high hopes for electric trucks, so they went all in with a Chevrolet Silverado EV as well as two GMC pickups. Unfortunately for them, they’ve all been a massive flop.

The sales chart paints a brutal picture as Silverado EV sales have plunged 32.5% through the first six months of the year. Dealers have only sold 3,672 units, and that equates to a mere 612 per month.

While Sierra EV sales were up 9.8% to 3,044 units, those gains were more than offset by a huge drop in demand for the GMC Hummer EV lineup. Sales of the truck and SUV plunged 54.9% through June to 3,601 vehicles.

Adding all those sales up results in a mere 10,317 units. To give you an idea of how bad that is, Chevrolet found 25,418 buyers for the ancient Express van.

Given low sales and lackluster demand, it’s no surprise that dealers are offering huge discounts on the Silverado EV. One of the biggest appears to be from Carr Chevrolet, which still has a 2024 model on their lot. To get rid of the work truck, the $75,345 pickup has been given a hefty $21,396 discount. This lowers the cost of entry to $53,949 before a $250 document fee.

McCarthy Chevrolet in Lee’s Summit, Missouri, also has a relic from 2024. In this case, it’s an upscale RST which stickered for $96,995. However, even after a $15,000 discount, it still feels overpriced at $81,995.

If you’d rather not have an electric truck that dates back to the Biden administration, Advantage Chevrolet of Hodgkins, Illinois, has an $8,589 discount on their 2026 Silverado EV LT Max Range. Since the model originally stickered for $95,584, buyers can now get it for $86,995.

It’s a similar story at Clay Cooley Chevrolet in Texas, where pricing on a 2026 Silverado EV LT has been slashed by $9,000. That lowers the cost of entry to $53,995.

If you’d rather opt for the more attractive Sierra EV, there are plenty of discounts to be found. AutoNation Buick GMC Corpus Christi is offering $10,565 in savings on a 2026 Elevation Extended Range. This lowers the price tag from $79,335 to $68,770.

Covert Buick GMC has knocked $7,000 off the price of their Sierra EV Elevation Extended Range. It now stickers for $60,685 before a $225 document fee.

Those are just a few examples, but there are countless others out there. As a result, it pays to shop around and haggle. It’s also worth noting that a number of dealers appear to be putting the EVs into service as courtesy transportation vehicles.
