The HUMMER nameplate turns 25 this year, and GMC is celebrating the only way a supertruck brand knows how: with a bright yellow, limited-run birthday present. Meet the 2027 GMC HUMMER EV ICON | 25, a special edition that headlines a round of meaningful updates for the entire 2027 HUMMER EV lineup.
Beyond the anniversary edition, the 2027 model year brings a change every HUMMER EV owner will feel at the charger: a native NACS charge port on every Pickup and SUV. Add five new colors and two new 22-inch wheel options, and this is a bigger refresh than the model year number suggests.
ICON | 25: A Yellow Throwback to the H2
If the ICON | 25’s paint looks familiar, that’s the point. The exclusive “ICON” exterior color is a modern reinterpretation of the yellow that made the HUMMER H2 a rolling billboard back in the early 2000s. GMC pairs it with a new Jet Black interior and a black front approach shield for a stance that reads purpose-built rather than nostalgic.
Inside, each ICON | 25 wears serialized badging on the instrument panel marking it as one of a limited production run. Unique infotainment graphics in the drive mode screens nod to HUMMER heritage models, and every buyer gets an exclusive keepsake commemorating the 25th anniversary.
The ICON | 25 package will be offered on 2X and 3X trims of both the Pickup and SUV. GMC gave it a fittingly flashy debut too: the truck rolled out publicly at the 2026 ESPYS in New York City on July 15, where GMC returned as the Official Vehicle Sponsor of the awards show at Lincoln Center’s David H. Koch Theater.
“Twenty-five years ago, HUMMER first captured attention and established itself as an immediate icon. Today, HUMMER remains instantly recognizable as an all-electric supertruck that continues to turn heads,” said Michael MacPhee, Global Vice President, Buick and GMC.
Every 2027 HUMMER EV Gets a NACS Port
Here’s the change with real day-to-day impact. All 2027 HUMMER EV Pickups and SUVs will come equipped with a native North American Charging Standard (NACS) inlet. No more adapter juggling to plug into Tesla-style Superchargers; the port is built in from the factory.
Vehicle-to-home bidirectional charging carries over as an available feature. Paired with the GM Energy PowerShift Charger and V2H Enablement Kit, a V2H-capable HUMMER EV can help power a properly equipped home during an outage. It’s the kind of capability that turns a 9,000-pound truck into a backup generator with a driveway view.
What Else Is New for 2027
The 2027 model year also expands the palette and the wheel catalog. Here’s the quick rundown of lineup-wide changes:
| Change | Details |
|---|---|
| Charge port | Native NACS inlet standard on all Pickup and SUV models |
| New colors | ICON, Dark Ridge, Azurite Blue, Dark Ember, Deep Void Matte |
| New wheels | Two new 22-inch wheel options |
| Special edition | ICON | 25 limited run on 2X and 3X trims, Pickup and SUV |
| V2H charging | Available bidirectional vehicle-to-home charging continues |
The capability hardware that made the HUMMER EV famous isn’t going anywhere. The 2027 trucks continue to offer 4-Wheel Steer with CrabWalk and King Crab, Air Ride Adaptive suspension, and Extract Mode, which raises the vehicle roughly 6 inches to clear off-road obstacles. Available Super Cruise hands-free driver assistance, the Infinity Roof with removable Sky Panels, and up to 18 available camera views on the Pickup all return as well.
Still an Absurdly Quick Supertruck
The headline numbers remain properly silly. With the optional 24-module battery, the 2027 HUMMER EV 3X Pickup delivers up to 1,160 horsepower (GM estimated), 13,000 lb-ft of torque at the wheels, and 0-60 mph in as little as 2.8 seconds. That’s a truck that out-launches most sports cars while weighing as much as two of them.
Production Timing and Availability
Production of the 2027 GMC HUMMER EV and the ICON | 25 begins later this year at General Motors’ Factory ZERO Assembly Center in Detroit and Hamtramck, Michigan, the same plant that has built every HUMMER EV since the nameplate’s electric rebirth. Both will be sold in the U.S. and Canada, with MSRP and full details coming closer to production.
For context on how far the badge has come: the H2 debuted at the Los Angeles Auto Show in 2002, the H3 followed in 2004, and GMC brought HUMMER back as an EV in 2020. Twenty-five years after the original captured attention, the anniversary edition wears the same yellow. Some things just work.
