Nissan Engineers are Benchmarking a Hummer EV

A Hummer EV pickup truck has been seen driving around by Nissan engineers.

Any guesses for why they'd be using a Hummer EV? Maybe an electric version of the Titan?


The GMC Hummer EV introduces a new chapter of GM off-roaders, mating The General’s latest all-electric propulsion technologies with the rough-and-ready legacy of the Hummer nameplate. Interestingly, Nissan was recently spotted benchmarking the GMC Hummer EV, even though it currently does not offer any sort of rival. Which begs the question – why is Nissan benchmarking the GMC Hummer EV?

As we can see here, this GMC Hummer EV Pickup is finished in Interstellar White. As GM Authority covered previously, all GMC Hummer EV Pickup Edition 1 models are finished exclusively in Interstellar White, with 2023 model-year vehicles offering seven exterior paint options total.

So then, Nissan has a GMC Hummer EV Pickup for benchmarking. What exactly is the Japanese automaker up to?

Well, suffice to say, it’s unclear at this point. At present, Nissan doesn’t offer a competitor for the GMC Hummer EV Pickup and, for now at least, harbors no known plans to develop such a vehicle. The only Nissan trucks on offer in the U.S. right now are ICE-powered, including the Nissan Frontier, which was redesigned for the 2022 model year, and the Nissan Titan, which is poised for discontinuation with no clear replacement.

Interesting! Give it the crabwalking feature!

Nissan better hurry because Tacoma EV is rumored to be out in late 2024.

If Nissan comes up with another EV, based on how the Ariya has gone, it will be another 3+ years before anyone sees it. Another year or 2 for people to get their hands on it.

Uh-oh, and then they might languish on the sales lots! 😆

I don’t think there will be a repeat unless there’s another worldwide lockdown.

BTW, i think Nissan will be acquired in the next 3-5 yrs by Toyota. I see consolidation in the EV race. Just a wild guess.
