2-Line Blurb

140-Character Blurb

The 2026 Volvo EX30 is a diminutive electric SUV with outsized performance and panache. A new Cross Country variant adds rugged vibes.

Cons

<ul>
<li>Limited rear legroom</li>
<li>Limited trim choices</li>
</ul>

Power, Ride, and Handling

Driving Impressions

We won’t bemoan the fact that, at present, the EX30 is only sold in the U.S. in the dual-motor configuration. That’s because it’s furiously fast and unexpectedly fun. Zero to 60 mph in under 3.5 seconds used to be the stuff of supercars, and here we have it on a sensible Volvo subcompact SUV. In fact, the EX30’s 3.4-second blast to 60 mph mirrors that of the high-performance Kia EV6 GT, which is nearly $20,000 more and has a significantly tauter ride quality.
And that’s one of the great things about the EX30: Once you’re done with the stoplight speed-away shenanigans, this Volvo’s ride quality is comfortable and serene. It won’t carve corners like a dedicated high-performance EV SUV like the EV6 GT or Hyundai Ioniq 5 N, but we’re happy trading everyday comfort for those brief moments of canyon carving. If you are, too, then we suspect you’ll be pleased with the EX30’s overall driving manners.
Interestingly, the EX30 defaults to rear-wheel drive in the name of efficiency, but it’s always ready to engage the front motor and wheels when extra traction is needed. Or, you can engage all-wheel drive manually with the touch of an icon on the screen.
The EX30’s regenerative braking is also adept, and features one-pedal driving for those so inclined. In addition to the high regen mode, there is also a low or off mode. In our testing we found the “low” mode more of a “mid.”
The new EX30 Cross Country sits a hair higher and has a slightly softer suspension than the standard EX30, but drives much the same. This is a soft-roader at best, and that will be fine for most buyers. We think the ability to excel driving in the city and highway alike — with a bit of ability to venture off pavement — will suit Volvo drivers.
Range and Charging
The dual-motor EX30 is EPA-rated for 253 miles of range when equipped with 19-inch wheels and 250 when rolling on 20s. Those numbers are below the 318 max of an Ioniq 5, and closer to the Kona Electric’s range of 261 miles. We haven’t seen stats for the EX30 Cross Country, especially one fitted with 18-inch all-terrain tires, but we imagine it will take a small hit. Volvo says the EX30 is capable of charging from 10% to 80% battery capacity in about 27 minutes on a Level 3 public DC fast charger, which is on the fast side. Charging from 0% to 100% using a Level 2 home charger can be accomplished in about eight hours. An NACS adaptor grants the EX30 access to Tesla’s wide-ranging network of Supercharger stations.

Excellent Exterior

Exterior

Measuring eight inches shorter than Volvo’s own XC40 and 10 inches shorter than the diminutive <a href="https://www.kbb.com/lexus/ux/">Lexus UX</a>, the 2026 Volvo EX30 is among the smallest SUVs on the market. But it doesn’t look it. It’s sharply styled and well-proportioned, giving it a real-world presence that belies its dimensions. The clean, modern, and enduring design features sheetmetal that looks like it’s still wet as it flows smoothly over the SUV’s somewhat muscular bones. We think Volvo’s designers nailed it.
The new EX30 Cross Country injects this model with a touch of ruggedness. It sits higher, but not by much — 19 mm or .74 inches, to be exact. There are also bits of black exterior cladding around the wheel arches and skid plates to add to the adventurous appeal. For drivers more serious about venturing off pavement, 18-inch all-terrain tires are available for added grip.

FAQs

Our Favorite Features and Tech

Favorite Features

Pilot Assist 
We’ve logged hundreds of reduced-effort highway miles using Volvo’s Pilot Assist system, cruising comfortably with our feet off the pedals and a ready hand on the wheel. We found the speed, distance, and steering assist system easy to use in the EX30 — just press down on the stalk-mounted transmission selector — but it doesn’t work as well as some others in stop-and-go traffic.
Park Pilot Assist 
The only way the extra-subcompact EX30 could be any easier to park is if it could park itself — which it can do. Very well.
Helpful Home Screen 
Volvo’s latest infotainment system features a robust and smartly organized home screen, offering a wealth of relevant information and easy, intuitive access to functions. Important, since so much is controlled via this screen, including adjustment of the outside mirrors.
Robust Google Integration 
In addition to a smart interface, the EX30’s infotainment system features seamless integration of Google Maps, Google Assistant, and related apps and services. By considering both your destination and charge level, for instance, Google Maps can make it easy to find efficient routes and chargers. Google built-in is especially useful if you own an Android phone or are an otherwise heavy user of Google’s ecosystem. But don’t worry, iPhone devotees, the EX30 also offers wireless Apple CarPlay integration.
Over-the-Air Updates 
Like your mobile phone, the EX30 will get better with time as Volvo releases software updates that can happen while you sleep.
Cross Country version 
We admit to being excited about this new version of the EX30 ever since it was teased at the debut of the standard EX30. It’s just rugged enough to appear outdoorsy without going overboard. It isn’t meant for the Rubicon, but with a bit more ground clearance, skid plates, and those optional all-terrain tires, it will handle dirt roads and snow suitably.

Small, Stylish, and Smart Interior

Interior

The most important thing to know about the interior of the EX30 is that there’s very little legroom for rear-seat passengers. Volvo claims 32.3 inches of legroom in back, which is less than just about every other subcompact SUV and about four meaningful inches shy of the segment average. The EX30 is best for a one- or two-person household that doesn’t need to transport even smaller humans in the backseat on a regular basis or very far.
With that caveat covered, we’re fans of the Volvo EX30’s cabin overall. In contrast with the rear seat accommodations, the EX30 feels like an even larger vehicle in front. Indeed, the key front-row dimensions are all above the segment average. We also found good spots for our drinks and phones, plus a sliding, centrally located storage bin and extra-roomy door pockets (but we wish they included a dedicated bottle holder).
The 5-passenger cabin has a minimalist feel in general, especially up front, where a vertically oriented 12.3-inch screen does double duty for both an instrument cluster and infotainment screen. We advise familiarizing yourself with the controls and settings before launching onto the highway; most controls depend on your finger touching the screen and/or steering wheel, even to do something as simple as adjust the mirrors.
The EX30 also comes with a glass panoramic roof. It doesn’t open but does do a good job of blocking out the sun. If you find our closest star’s rays still too intense, a screen is available for further blockage.
Also note that, as of this writing, only the Apple CarPlay is available in the EX30. Volvo reps tell us that Android Auto will manifest itself via a future update. And if you’re a fan of AM radio, that’s out of the picture altogether, as with other Volvo vehicles.
At just around 12 cubic feet, the EX30 is short on cargo room compared to the competition, but drop the split-folding seatbacks and lower the two-tier load floor and there’s room enough to accommodate the spoils of a trip to your favorite warehouse store — 27.8 cubic feet’s worth, when including the subfloor compartment. Up front, the Volvo EX30 has a small frunk (front trunk), that’s just large enough to hold the charging cord or a small duffel bag.

KBB Editors' Overview

The Volvo EX30 is an all-electric SUV like no other and something of a master of contrasts. It’s the smallest and least expensive battery-powered SUV from the Swedish luxury brand, yet also the fastest and arguably most stylish. This little meatball can blast from zero to 60 mph in just 3.4 seconds, doing so with charming looks that make it appear a coy toy for youthful drivers who prioritize safety and sensibility.
The EX30’s potency comes thanks to a dual-motor, all-wheel-drive setup and an almost-obscene 422 horsepower. And all of this is had at an appealing price that slides below $50,000. Buyers with a more adventurous spirit will be drawn to the new Volvo EX30 Cross Country variant.

When Volvo debuted the EX30, the brand boasted the SUV would have a starting price of around $35,000. But that figure was tied to a single-motor, rear-wheel-drive (RWD) model we’ve yet to see in the U.S. So far, all EX30 models for the U.S. come with the dual-motor, all-wheel-drive (AWD) setup, and that means a price over $46,000. Still, even that higher figure is more in line with mainstream electric SUVs like the (albeit larger) <a href="https://www.kbb.com/kia/ev6/">Kia EV6</a> and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/hyundai/ioniq-5/">Hyundai Ioniq 5</a>, and is substantially less than the high-performance versions of those models. This price also puts the EX30 near that of the best-selling <a href="https://www.kbb.com/tesla/model-y/">Tesla Model Y</a>.
Closer in size to the EX30 is the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/hyundai/kona-electric/">Hyundai Kona Electric</a>, starting in the mid-$30,000 range, which is also where the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/chevrolet/equinox-ev/">Chevrolet Equinox EV</a> falls, and likely near where the all-new <a href="https://www.kbb.com/nissan/leaf/2026/">Nissan Leaf</a> will land, too. For something a bit larger, the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/volvo/ex40/">Volvo EX40</a> is closer to $54,000.
The standard EX30 is available in two trims — Plus and Ultra — while the new EX30 Cross Country will initially arrive in just the top Ultra trim.
Before buying a new Volvo EX30, check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to see what others in your area are paying. The Volvo EX30 resale average is about average for the segment. The higher the resale of a vehicle, the more money you can get when selling or trading-in, which can lower the payment of your next car.

Battery and Efficiency

Under the Hood

The 2026 Volvo EX30’s battery features 69 kWh of total storage and 64 kWh of usable capacity. It can charge at up to 153 kW on a DC fast charger, and up to 11 kW on a Level 2 home charger.
Warranty
The 2026 Volvo EX30 is covered by the automaker’s new-vehicle warranty of four years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first, with the battery and related components covered for eight years or 100,000 miles. This level of coverage is typical among European automakers. Volvo also provides complimentary scheduled maintenance for three years or 36,000 miles.
Safety 
The Volvo EX30 has yet to be crash-tested by either the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). While awaiting results, know that Volvo has staked its reputation on safety, and the EX30 comes with a wealth of active features to prevent EX30 drivers from running into, backing into, or turning into something — or someone — whether inching out of the driveway or cruising down the highway.

2026Chevrolet Blazer EV

2026Chevrolet Blazer EV Archives - Kelley Blue Book

$53,500 - $63,499

$53,500 - $63,499 Archives - Kelley Blue Book

The stylish Chevrolet Blazer EV is a practical and comfortable electric SUV with a lot to offer in modern technology and driving excitement.

<ul>
<li>No Android Auto/Apple CarPlay</li>
<li>Subpar cargo space</li>
</ul>

The 2026 Chevrolet Blazer EV is powered by a 288-horsepower electric motor with front-wheel drive (FWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD). The Chevy Blazer EV drives as well as or better than anything in the segment. The Blazer EV simply goes, stops, and turns with remarkable refinement, delivering a satisfying driving experience. We’ve found it smooth and easy around town — especially when using the excellent one-pedal driving mode — comfortable on the highway, and quicker than most buyers will ever need it to be. It’s an especially good highway cruiser when equipped with GM’s Super Cruise hands-free highway driving system, which is one of our favorites.
The Blazer EV SS that debuted for the 2025 model year significantly turns up the heat with a dual-motor powertrain that pumps out 615 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque, achieving a 0-60 mph time of 3.4 seconds when Wide Open Watts (WOW) mode is engaged. We had good fun testing the Blazer EV SS on the track and the street. Acceleration is forceful and instantaneous, taking an electric SUV that was already engaging to drive and making it a rocket. If you’re looking for an EV that’s both practical and exciting, the Blazer EV SS is one of the best of its kind to fit that bill.
<h3>Range and Charging</h3>
The Chevy Blazer EV&#8217;s range is up to 312 miles when equipped with front-wheel drive and the standard 19-inch wheels. Upgrading to 22-inch wheels or all-wheel drive drops the range estimate to 283 miles, and the special powertrain in the SS model gives it a 303-mile range. These range ratings are on par with most rivals, like the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Ford Mustang Mach-E, but the Tesla Model Y gets a notably longer max range of 337 miles.
Chevy estimates that charging the Blazer EV from 10% to 80% takes about 40 minutes with DC fast charging. That means it can add about 80 miles worth of range in 10 minutes of charging. Using Level 2 charging at home, it can reliably get a full charge overnight.

Sporty Exterior

It can be challenging to design a midsize SUV that looks truly sporty, but the Chevy Blazer EV gets it right. Borrowing a little inspiration from the Camaro, the Blazer EV has muscular body lines and cool wheel designs, but with a sleek light signature that makes it look high-tech. Naturally, the SS model adds a more aggressive look.

Super Cruise 
What might be our favorite hands-free highway driving system is optional in the Chevy Blazer EV. Super Cruise allows for eyes-on-the-road, hands-off-the-wheel driving on more than 400,000 miles of North American highways, and it feels natural and reassuring.
SS model 
Chevy gave us more than we could’ve asked for with the Blazer EV SS, making a whopping 615 horsepower for a 0-60 mph time of 3.4 seconds. This practical 4-door SUV is the quickest and most powerful SS-badged Chevy of all time.
Google built-in 
The Chevy Blazer EV’s infotainment system has a 17.7-inch screen and Google built-in, which means Google Maps, Google Assistant, and the Google Play store are built right in with no phone connection required.
One-pedal driving 
The highest level of brake energy regeneration in the Blazer EV enables drivers to speed up and slow down just by varying the pressure on the accelerator pedal. It’s only necessary to hit the brake pedal when a more urgent stop is required.
Tesla Supercharger access 
Although not a Tesla itself, the Chevy Blazer EV can be charged at Tesla Supercharger stations if you have an adapter, which is available as an accessory from GM. This greatly expands the network where the Blazer EV can plug in, making it more road trip-ready.
Remote access 
Using the myChevrolet Mobile app, owners can lock/unlock doors and set the ideal cabin temperature (including heated seats). When done while it’s still charging, the Blazer EV will use energy from the charger, not the battery.

Modern Interior

Stepping inside the Chevy Blazer EV brings a feeling of piloting a modern and high-tech vehicle while also feeling familiar with no steep learning curves to deal with. The seats are comfortable, the interior space is good, and the controls for everything are where they feel like they should be. Every trim gets an 11-inch digital gauge cluster and a 17.7-inch central infotainment display, but it still has physical knobs and buttons for climate and volume controls.
The back seat space is generous enough for adult comfort, with 39 inches of legroom, which is a little more than the Ford Mustang Mach-E and a little less than the Tesla Model Y. However, at 25.5 cubic feet behind the back seats, its cargo hold is smaller than that of its closest rivals. Also, it doesn’t have a front trunk like some EVs do.
Although this isn’t a knock on the Blazer EV per se, we feel compelled to inform you that the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/chevrolet/equinox-ev/">Chevy Equinox EV</a> has very similar interior space while carrying a significantly lower price tag. The Blazer EV has more rear legroom by less than one inch, and the Equinox EV actually has slightly more cargo room. Something to keep in mind if you visit a Chevy dealer for a test drive.

The Chevy Blazer EV is a good SUV for drivers who want to go electric and would prefer the assurance of a long-established brand with a nationwide dealer network rather than a relative newcomer. The Blazer EV has the range, comfort, and interior space to make it ready for daily driving duties. Meanwhile, its advanced tech features, like a 17.7-inch touchscreen and available hands-free driving, make it feel a little futuristic but not intimidating. For enthusiasts who need something practical, a stunning SS model with 615 horsepower is available. Even if performance isn’t a priority, there’s a lot to like about the Chevy Blazer EV.
We’ve spent hundreds of hours driving and evaluating this generation of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/electric-car/best-electric-suvs/">electric SUVs</a>, including the Chevy Blazer EV.

The Chevy Blazer EV is priced close to the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/tesla/model-y/">Tesla Model Y</a> and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/honda/prologue/">Honda Prologue</a>, but its starting price is undercut a bit by the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/ford/mustang-mach-e/">Ford Mustang Mach-E</a> and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/nissan/ariya/">Nissan Ariya</a>.
Before buying a Blazer EV, check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to know what you should really pay. Chevy Blazer EV resale value is above average for the segment. Recouping more money when selling a vehicle can mean a bigger down payment and lower monthly payments on the next one.

<ul>
<li>Good passenger space</li>
<li>Exciting SS model</li>
<li>Range</li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li>RWD configuration discontinued</li>
<li>Tech Bronze package</li>
</ul>

Other than the SS trim, every 2026 Chevy Blazer EV uses an 85 kWh battery pack. The EPA estimates it gets up to 104 combined MPGe (miles per gallon equivalent) with front-wheel drive and 95 MPGe with all-wheel drive, which makes it a little less efficient than its top rivals from Ford and Tesla, but it still has impressively low fuel costs. Meanwhile, the potent Blazer EV SS uses a 102 kWh battery pack that gets 85 combined MPGe.
<h3>3-Year/36,000-Mile Warranty</h3>
Chevrolet’s new-vehicle limited bumper-to-bumper warranty lasts three years or 36,000 miles, whichever happens first. This coverage is typical among mainstream manufacturers. The battery is covered for eight years or 100,000 miles. Also, Chevrolet includes five years or 60,000 miles of powertrain coverage, plus a free first service within one year or 12,000 miles.
<h3>Safety</h3>
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (<a href="https://www.nhtsa.gov/ratings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NHTSA</a>) issued its top 5-Star overall rating to the Blazer EV. It hasn’t been crash tested by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (<a href="https://www.iihs.org/ratings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IIHS</a>), but the mechanically similar Honda Prologue has, and it got &#8220;Good&#8221; and &#8220;Acceptable&#8221; ratings in every category. Standard safety features in the Blazer EV include active blind-spot monitoring and forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking and pedestrian detection.

The Chevy Blazer EV briefly had the distinction of being the only vehicle on the market available with front-wheel drive (FWD), rear-wheel drive (RWD), or all-wheel drive (AWD). Now, for 2026, the rear-drive configuration has been discontinued. The LT and RS trims are both available with front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive, while the SS model is AWD-only. Also, 2026 ushers in a new Tech Bronze appearance package.

2026GMC HUMMER EV SUV

2026GMC HUMMER EV SUV Archives - Kelley Blue Book

$73,500 &amp; up

$73,500 &amp; up Archives - Kelley Blue Book

The GMC Hummer EV SUV is a beast with stunning performance and rugged capabilities that live up to its aura.

<ul>
<li>Extremely heavy</li>
<li>Inefficient for an EV</li>
<li>Expensive</li>
</ul>

The difference between the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/compare-cars/results?vehicleIds=477556|477553/">two trims</a> of the GMC Hummer EV SUV is in the motors. The 2X model has a dual-motor electric powertrain making 570 horsepower and 7,400 lb-ft of torque. As you may have already guessed by the number, the 3X model has three motors generating 830 hp and 11,500 lb-ft of torque. No, those torque ratings are not typos. Both models have 4-wheel drive (4WD).
We tested the Hummer EV SUV 3X and came away impressed. This super SUV’s acceleration is simply astounding. In our experience driving the 3-motor electric powertrain, the Hummer can be a quiet, comfy cruiser or a cannonball. It’s relaxing to drive on the highway with the standard <a href="https://www.kbb.com/car-news/gms-super-cruise-now-covers-750000-miles-of-roads/">Super Cruise</a> hands-free driving system engaged, but hold on tight when you <a href="https://www.kbb.com/car-news/2026-gmc-hummer-ev-gets-gulp-quicker/">floor the accelerator</a> from a standstill.
The Watts to Freedom launch mode isn’t for the faint of heart; it throws you back in your seat like a steep drop on a roller coaster. With 830 hp and instant torque delivery to all four wheels, the Hummer has all the power you could realistically want.
The Hummer EV SUV is a surprisingly agile behemoth. According to <a href="https://www.kbb.com/gmc/">GMC</a>, it has the same turning radius as the little Chevy Bolt. This feat is achieved with 4-wheel steering; the rear wheels can turn up to 10 degrees. A low center of gravity (thanks to the battery packaged in the floor) and 4-wheel steering make this massive SUV more nimble and easier to park than we expected.
However, the Hummer can only disguise its weight so much. There are still some reminders that this is a hefty electric vehicle. The brakes are adequate, but it still brakes like a big, heavy truck.
The off-road chops of the Hummer EV SUV are admirable if you’re into off-roading with something this big. The Off-Road and Terrain drive modes, a tight turning radius, adjustable ground clearance, and full-length skid plates make the Hummer up for anything. The new KingCrab mode enhances the Hummer&#8217;s 4-wheel steering capability for off-road use.
CrabWalk mode is perhaps a bit gimmicky, but it’s a fun gimmick. We used it to get in and out of tight parallel parking spots — and we may have used it while exiting a drive-thru just to show off. Serious off-roaders will want the upgrades that come with the Extreme Off-Road Package, but every Hummer EV is a capable off-roader.
<h3>Range and Charging</h3>
The GMC Hummer EV SUV’s maximum range is 315 miles in the 2X model and 312 miles in the 3X model. The all-terrain tires on the Extreme Off-Road Package bring a slight penalty to range and efficiency: 289 miles for the 3X and 282 miles for the 2X. Those range ratings are long enough for most people’s daily driving duties, but the Rivian R1S goes up to 410 miles on a full charge.
The Hummer EV has impressive charging speeds. At a DC fast charging station, it can regain 100 miles of range in as little as 14 minutes. With a Level 2 charger at home, it can replenish up to 30 miles of range per hour. Also, the Hummer is able to charge with the expansive Tesla Supercharger network, but you’ll need an adapter from GM.

Macho Exterior

Like its predecessors bearing the Hummer name, the Hummer EV SUV has an unmistakable aesthetic. The GMC badging is quite subtle, but there’s no question that this is a Hummer. It has a boxy shape but still looks futuristic in its third model year with a unique LED light signature and pronounced fender flares.
One of the coolest features of this SUV is the standard Infinity Roof with four modular sky panels. They’re removable and designed to stack up in the frunk. This roof allows you to open up the interior for a more open-air experience; plus, you can roll down the power rear drop glass in the swing gate. Transparent Sky Panels are optional, providing a panoramic view even with the top on.
The size of the Hummer EV SUV is similar to that of the Rivian R1S. Compared to a more traditional full-size SUV like the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/gmc/yukon/">GMC Yukon</a>, the Hummer is a little lower and wider but has a shorter overall length.

Watts to Freedom 
The thrilling Watts to Freedom feature is a launch mode that unleashes the Hummer’s 3.5-second 0-60 mph time with the tri-motor powertrain.
CrabWalk 
Standard on both trims, CrabWalk uses 4-wheel steering to let the vehicle travel diagonally. The rear wheels can point up to 10 degrees in either direction. CrabWalk makes it easy to maneuver past obstacles in off-road situations, mitigating the need to reverse, steer, drive, and repeat.
Super Cruise 
The standard Super Cruise system allows hands-free driving on GM-mapped roads, including over 750,000 highway miles in North America.
UltraVision 
The available UltraVision system uses up to 18 camera views to let you see everything around your SUV, including what’s underneath you. This is useful in off-road driving and in parking lots.
Extreme Off-Road Package 
This available option package turns up the Hummer’s off-road capabilities with 35-inch mud terrain tires, front and rear e-lockers, ball spline half shafts, full-length skid plates, a rubber floor, and more.
Bidirectional charging 
This new feature for 2026 allows the GMC Hummer EV SUV to feed energy back into a house with the right home charging setup. It can also act as a generator for another EV, if needed.

Rugged and Upscale Interior

The interior of the Hummer EV SUV is a far cry from the military vehicle that inspired it. This SUV has premium materials, an upscale design, and the latest tech features. There’s plenty of space in both rows of seats, but we can’t help but think an SUV this big ought to have a third row. The big cargo hold (35.9 cubic feet) gets bigger with fold-flat back seats (81.8 cubic feet). Oh, and there’s an 11-cubic-foot “frunk” under the hood, which we found handy when backed into a charging station at a grocery store.
The interior design strikes a nice balance of rugged and luxurious. It’s also high-tech, with a digital gauge cluster and a vast 13.4-inch infotainment system with beautiful graphics and a user-friendly interface powered by Google. Notably, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are unavailable.
The Hummer’s cabin is designed to be both premium and durable, and it does that job well, but similarly priced electric SUVs feel more elegant inside. We’re mainly thinking of the Rivian R1S, which has a nicer interior (with 3-row seating) and a lower starting price.

The GMC Hummer EV SUV made quite a statement when it first came out in 2024, and it’s still a head-turner in its third model year. It’s an electric vehicle that’s big, bold, and brash, and it’s as powerful and capable as its muscular design implies. It’s also high-tech with features like the Super Cruise hands-free driving system, a Google built-in infotainment system, and bidirectional charging. We can’t help but love its parlor tricks like CrabWalk mode and the Watts to Freedom boost mode, but this roomy SUV can also be used as a practical daily driver. Most electric SUVs are more efficient and more affordable, but none have the presence of the mighty Hummer.

The GMC Hummer EV SUV has few direct rivals, but the closest is the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/rivian/r1s/">Rivian R1S</a>, which has a starting price under $80,000. However, the tri-motor Rivian is priced very close to the Hummer EV SUV 3X. One could also compare the Hummer EV SUV to the mechanically similar Cadillac Escalade IQ, a 3-row electric luxury SUV starting at about $130,000.
Before buying a Hummer EV SUV, check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to know what you should really pay. GMC Hummer EV SUV resale value is outstanding for the segment. Recouping more money when selling a vehicle can mean a bigger down payment and lower monthly payments on the next one.

A substantial 170-kWh battery pack delivers fuel to the motors in the GMC Hummer EV. Although it’s efficient compared to a full-size SUV with a gas engine, efficiency is not a strong suit of the Hummer EV. Rated at 53 combined MPGe for the 2X trim and 52 MPGe for the 3X, it’s one of the least efficient EVs on the market. The Rivian R1S gets up to 85 MPGe combined, good for lower <a href="https://fueleconomy.gov/feg/make.shtml">EPA</a>-estimated fuel costs by a factor of $45 per month. In fact, there are hybrids with gas engines that have lower fuel costs than the all-electric Hummer.
<h3>3-Year/36,000-Mile Warranty</h3>
The GMC Hummer EV SUV is backed by a 3-year/36,000-mile basic warranty and a 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty. The battery and related components are covered by an 8-year/100,000-mile warranty. Additionally, GMC throws in complimentary maintenance for your first visit.
<h3>Safety</h3>
Standard safety features in the GMC Hummer EV SUV include enhanced automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, HD Surround Vision, and the Super Cruise hands-free highway driving system.

What's new for 2026

A new Carbon Fiber Edition is added to the GMC Hummer EV SUV lineup for 2026. As its name implies, it generously heaps on carbon-fiber exterior trim and adds exclusive carbon-fiber wheels. 2026 also introduces the KingCrab 4-wheel steering mode intended for off-roading, which is available on older Hummer EVs as a software update. Another nice update this year is bidirectional charging capability; the Hummer can act as a generator for a house or another EV.

2026GMC Acadia

2026GMC Acadia Archives - Kelley Blue Book

The roomy 3-row 2026 GMC Acadia blends rugged and luxurious in a stylish package that&#8217;s safe, practical, and family-friendly.

<ul>
<li>Below-average resale value</li>
<li>Unrefined engine</li>
</ul>

Power, Ride, And Handling

The 2026 GMC Acadia is powered by a 328-horsepower turbocharged 4-cylinder engine matched with an 8-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. We tend to like having an old-fashioned V6 in a vehicle dedicated to hauling lots of people and cargo, but this turbo-4 did just fine when we tested it in real-life family car duty with all three rows occupied. Even when full of passengers, the Acadia never felt underpowered, but the engine did get a bit noisy under hard acceleration, subtracting from the luxurious feel.
Ride quality is a strong suit of the GMC Acadia. In the Denali model we tested, GMC hit the mark in providing a ride comparable to that of a more expensive luxury SUV. The suspension is supple (especially the optional adaptive suspension in the Ultimate Package), the steering is just right, and the brakes are adequate.
One of our favorite features of the Acadia is <a href="https://www.kbb.com/car-news/gms-super-cruise-now-covers-750000-miles-of-roads/">Super Cruise</a> (optional on every trim), which allows for almost effortless hands-free driving on more than 750,000 miles of North American highways. It even does automatic lane changes. The Acadia’s plush driver’s seat with Super Cruise on and the Bose audio system delivering your music or podcasts isn’t a bad way to eat up miles on the highway.
This might seem like a small thing, but the recently redesigned GMC Acadia remedied one of our biggest gripes with the previous generation. The frustrating, horizontally oriented gearshift buttons are gone, replaced with GM’s easy-to-use electric column shifter. It makes every drive that much more pleasant.
<h3>Fuel Economy</h3>
According to <a href="https://fueleconomy.gov/feg/make.shtml" target="_blank" rel="noopener">EPA</a> estimates, the GMC Acadia’s only engine option returns 20 city/27 highway/23 combined mpg with front-wheel drive and 19 city/24 highway/21 combined mpg with all-wheel drive. These efficiency ratings are just okay for this class, especially with hybrids getting more popular.

Handsome Exterior

<a href="https://www.kbb.com/gmc/">GMC</a> did a nice job visually differentiating the three trims of the GMC Acadia. The base Elevation trim looks nice, if a bit basic, the AT4 model is decidedly rugged, and the Acadia Denali looks like a luxury SUV.

Super Cruise 
GM’s hands-free driving system is among the best of its kind, and it’s optional on all three trims of the GMC Acadia. Super Cruise allows for relaxed, hands-free driving on over 750,000 miles of North American highways.
Rugged AT4 model 
In addition to standard all-wheel drive and a handsome appearance package, the Acadia AT4 comes with an off-road-tuned suspension system, hill descent control, all-terrain tires, and a little extra ride height.
Fancy Denali model 
The Denali name is synonymous with luxury in trucks and SUVs, and the Acadia Denali doesn’t disappoint. It has stylish Galvano Silver exterior trim, 20-inch wheels, a head-up display, and a premium leather interior with heated and ventilated front seats, plus power-folding third-row seats. It gets even fancier in the new Denali Ultimate trim.
Smart Slide seats 
These second-row seats can tilt and slide for easy access to the third row. We can confirm from experience that they work well even with child car seats installed.
15-inch touchscreen 
This customizable Google-based infotainment system has a 15-inch screen, Google Maps, voice control, and so much more. Other standard tech features include an 11-inch digital gauge cluster, Bose premium audio, and a wireless charging pad.
Drive modes 
In addition to the comfortable Tour mode, the GMC Acadia is available with Sport, Snow/Ice, Off-Road, and Tow/Haul drive modes, making it ready for just about anything.

Roomy Interior

The GMC Acadia’s interior upholds its brand’s reputation for blending rugged and luxurious. The front seats are comfortable, and the recent redesign made the technology more modern and intuitive. We like the 15-inch touchscreen display with Google built-in, so all of the familiar apps like Google Maps are at your fingertips. The Acadia gets especially nice in the Denali trim, which offers luxuries like diamond-stitched leather upholstery, heated and ventilated front seats, open-pore wood trim, and a panoramic sunroof. Climb in the back, and the second row is almost as comfortable as the front, especially with the second-row captain’s chairs that are standard in the AT4 and Denali trims (optional in Elevation).
We’ve tested more than enough midsize 3-row SUVs to confirm that not all third-row seats are created equal. However, the way back of the GMC Acadia is one of the good ones. Third-row access is fairly easy when the car is equipped with Smart Slide seats. Once you’re back there, third-row accommodations are pretty good, with 32.1 inches of legroom, four cupholders, two USB-C ports, and two air vents. This third row is still more suitable for kids than adults, but it’s one of the roomier and more easily accessible seating arrangements in this class.
Another strength of the GMC Acadia is its cargo room. There are 23 cubic feet of space behind the third row, 57.3 cubic feet behind the second row, and 97.5 cubic feet behind the first row. That puts it up there with the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/toyota/grand-highlander/">Toyota Grand Highlander</a> and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/volkswagen/atlas/">Volkswagen Atlas</a> as one of the roomiest <a href="https://www.kbb.com/suv/best-mid-size-suvs/">midsize SUVs</a> available.
All of this to say that the GMC Acadia is one of the most ready and willing midsize SUVs to comfortably carry seven people and a load of groceries with little compromise.

The GMC brand has found a sweet spot in producing trucks and SUVs that fall somewhere between mainstream and luxury. The GMC Acadia is one such example: a midsize 3-row family SUV that’s a little more rugged and upscale than most of its rivals while remaining more affordable than similar SUVs from luxury brands. It makes a strong case as a practical family hauler with one of the biggest interiors in its class and excellent safety ratings. Meanwhile, the capable AT4 trim and fancy Denali model give the Acadia a unique personality that makes it stand out.
We’ve spent hundreds of hours driving and evaluating this generation of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/suv/best-mid-size-suvs/">midsize SUVs</a>, including the GMC Acadia.

Because it’s well equipped at the base level and gets pretty luxurious when fully loaded, the GMC Acadia’s pricing is a bit above the average for a midsize <a href="https://www.kbb.com/suv/best-3-row-suvs/">3-row SUV</a>. Keeping it in the GM family, the mechanically identical <a href="https://www.kbb.com/chevrolet/traverse/">Chevy Traverse</a> is a little cheaper, and the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/buick/enclave/">Buick Enclave</a> is a little pricier.
Before buying an Acadia, check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to know what you should really pay. GMC Acadia resale value is below average for the segment. Recouping more money when selling a vehicle can mean a bigger down payment and lower monthly payments on the next one.

Engine and Transmission

A turbocharged 2.5-liter 4-cylinder under the hood of the GMC Acadia makes 328 hp and 326 lb-ft of torque. This engine links to an 8-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is the default setup, with all-wheel drive available as an option or standard in the more off-road-focused AT4 variant. Maximum towing capacity is 5,000 pounds, which is about average for the class.
<h3>3-Year/36,000-Mile Warranty</h3>
GMC’s new vehicle warranty lasts three years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. Powertrains are covered for five years or 60,000 miles, and roadside assistance is included. These are typical terms in the segment. The first scheduled maintenance visit is also free.
<h3>Safety</h3>
The GMC Acadia earned a 5-Star overall safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (<a href="https://www.nhtsa.gov/ratings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NHTSA</a>). It’s also garnered the Top Safety Pick award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (<a href="https://www.iihs.org/ratings/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IIHS</a>) because of favorable crash-test results. Moreover, the Acadia provides a comprehensive array of standard safety features, including active blind spot assistance, Side Bicyclist Alert, and automatic emergency braking at intersections.

For 2026, the Denali Reserve package is discontinued and effectively replaced by the Denali Ultimate trim. It&#8217;s the new peak of luxury and tech in the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/compare-cars/results?vehicleIds=477692|477730|477685/">Acadia lineup</a>, with unique aesthetics inside and out, upgraded interior materials, and premium features like a panoramic sunroof, performance suspension, 22-inch wheels, and a Bose Performance Series 16-speaker audio system.
Also, the Acadia has two new paint options: Glacier White replaces White Frost, and Riverstone replaces Deep Bronze. Additionally, a new Key Card feature allows owners to use a card instead of a traditional key fob to lock, unlock, and start the car.

Despite its relative youth, the 2026 Genesis G90 is a strong player in the large luxury sedan class.

<ul>
<li>Unimpressive fuel economy</li>
</ul>

Power, Ride and Handling

If any driver of a large luxury sedan (as opposed to any large luxury sedan driver) is really interested in blasting away as the lights turn green, the base G90 3.5T will accelerate from standstill to 60 mph in around 5.5 seconds, thanks to its turbocharged V6 generating 375 horsepower. For comparison, an equivalent BMW 740i xDrive has the same number of horses, but will gallop to 60 mph in 4.9 seconds. Or the Mercedes-Benz S 500 4Matic flexes 442 hp and hits 60 mph in 4.2 seconds. The extra thrust of the 409-hp G90 3.5T E-SC shaves about a tenth of a second from its stablemate’s acceleration time.
Not that this kind of metric is really crucial among large luxury sedans. As long as there’s enough muscle to back up their car’s prestigious presence, then most owners should be happy. We’ve never been unhappy with the G90’s gumption. What’s more, <a href="https://www.kbb.com/reviews/experiencing-the-2025-genesis-g90/">the serene cabin and unflustered ride quality have been positively mood-lifting</a>.
The “entry-level” G90 has an adaptive suspension with a camera that reads the road ahead and then adjusts itself within milliseconds to suit. The supercharged G90 enjoys a super-smooth air suspension. Rear-wheel steering comes with the supercharged engine, giving this big car a surprising and enjoyable dash of athleticism. It also helps when maneuvering in tight spots.
<h3>Fuel Economy</h3>
The base 3.5T engine achieves 21 mpg in combined city/highway driving. The electric supercharger and the mild-hybrid setup of the 3.5T E-SC MHEV version results in 20 mpg combined. This isn’t competitive. For example, base versions of the BMW 7 Series and Mercedes-Benz S-Class run to 27 mpg combined and 24 mpg combined, respectively.

Desirable Exterior

“I want this car” was pretty much the standard reaction of our friends and family members whenever they saw the G90. We get it. There’s no design weirdness or conservative blandness, just a well-executed flagship sedan with the right looks to accompany its classy status.
The new-for-2026 Prestige Black version is available in black, or (perhaps less predictably) white. The details that come with it (all in black) are things like the grille, Genesis badges, 21-inch alloy wheels (with floating center caps), and the brake calipers.

Luxurious seating 
The G90’s front seats are supremely comfortable, and we think the rear seats are just as good. Nappa leather upholstery is standard, while the upper trim adds heated/ventilated/massaging/reclining rear seats — plus a rear center console with touchscreen controls and a wireless charging pad.
Bang &amp; Olufsen audio 
We’ve found that the top 23-speaker/1,400-watt surround-sound array excels at reproducing many different types of music. It even has settings like Boston Symphony Hall to give listeners the feeling that they’re in real-life concert venues. The base G90 has a great B&amp;O system as well.
Powered doors 
They don’t just close softly, they also open with the press of a button. One particular detail we really like is how the driver’s door closes automatically once the driver climbs in and steps on the brake pedal. The supercharged model has this as standard.
Genesis Digital Key 2 
This feature turns an iPhone, Apple Watch, or Samsung smartphone into a key through Apple Wallet and Samsung Pass. We found it wonderfully convenient that — in addition to locking, unlocking, and starting the G90 — this function recognizes the driver and loads customized vehicle preferences accordingly.
Highway Driving Assist 2 
Adaptive cruise control, lane centering, and road sign recognition combine in this standard feature to alleviate the grind of long freeway stretches. Like a lot of the driver assistance technology in Genesis vehicles, we’ve found it to be among the best out there.
3.5T E-SC 
Boosting the base engine by 34 hp and 14 lb-ft of torque with an electric supercharger might sound like a lot of effort for not much reward, but we’re fans of this engine’s easy and responsive power delivery.

High-Caliber Interior

Smart design, fine materials, abundant tech, and superb comfort all go toward consolidating the 2026 <a href="https://www.kbb.com/car-news/genesis-shows-off-super-luxe-g90-interior/">G90’s high ranking</a> in the already lofty large luxury sedan class.
The new Prestige Black version is a rich Goth’s fantasy car — with black Nappa leather, “Black Ash” wood trim, anodized black speaker grilles, bespoke key fobs, plus black controls and vents.
Accommodations in the second row are appropriately swish, offering power-adjustable and reclining rear seats that are also heated and ventilated while offering a massage function and an extendable footrest for the passenger-side seat. Add wireless charging and beautifully cushioned headrests covered in a suede-like material, and it is among the poshest second rows on the market. Rear legroom measures 37.8 inches, which we’ve found is plenty for adults of average size. If anyone needs greater space, they can check out the Audi A8, BMW 7 Series, and Mercedes-Benz S-Class — all with more than 40 inches of rear legroom.

We like the Genesis G90 almost more than any other car of its kind. We say “almost” because there’s a tie at the top of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/cars/best-luxury-full-size-cars/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">our full-size luxury car rankings</a>, with the G90 and the Mercedes-Benz S-Class sharing the accolade. It’s not like the rest of the cars in this class are that far behind, however, because these are some of the most impressive conveyances in the world.
They all have superb tech and lavish comfort features. It’s just that <a href="https://www.kbb.com/genesis/">Genesis</a> has impressed us by coming from its lowly position as newest premium marque to major contender in such a short time. And the G90 is not just a great large luxury sedan by a new(ish) company — it would be a fine example of the genre no matter who built it. That’s why it has equal billing with the S-Class, that giant of the luxury sector.
We’ve logged hundreds of hours driving and evaluating this generation of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/cars/best-luxury-full-size-cars/">full-size luxury cars</a>, including the Genesis G90.

The 2026 Genesis G90 has a starting sticker price of $94,195, with the range-topping Prestige Black kicking off at $107,245.

&nbsp;

Buyers in the market for this kind of car generally want the top version and can afford to pay the extra money, so we’re happy to recommend the 3.5T E-SC model and leave it to personal choice regarding cosmetics.
Rivals like the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/bmw/7-series/">BMW 7 Series</a>, <a href="https://www.kbb.com/mercedes-benz/s-class/">Mercedes-Benz S-Class</a>, and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/porsche/panamera/">Porsche Panamera</a> start higher, while the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/audi/a8/">Audi A8</a> and revamped-for-2026 <a href="https://www.kbb.com/lexus/ls/">Lexus LS</a> tend to be more competitive. Keep in mind, though, the G90 also comes with a lot of standard equipment, including all-wheel drive (AWD).
Before buying a new G90 large luxury sedan, check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to know what you should be paying. We expect resale values to be around average for the class. Recouping more money when selling a vehicle can mean a bigger down payment and lower monthly payments on the next one.

The 2026 G90 starts out with a perfectly fine twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 making a correspondingly acceptable 375 hp and 391 lb-ft of torque. This links to a standard all-wheel drive system through an 8-speed automatic transmission.
The more muscular optional configuration keeps the turbochargers, then adds an <a href="https://www.kbb.com/car-news/2023-genesis-g90-gets-supercharged-hybrid-model/">electric supercharger</a>, boosting output to 409 hp and 405 lb-ft of torque. It also brings more mild-hybrid hardware to make the fuel-saving engine stop/restart action appropriately smooth for a flagship sedan.
<h3>5-Year/60,000-Mile Warranty</h3>
The new-vehicle warranty from Genesis lasts five years or 60,000 miles, whichever happens first, with roadside assistance for five years at unlimited mileage. The powertrain is covered for 10 years or 100,000 miles. These terms are among the best in the automotive industry. Genesis also includes three years or 36,000 miles of free scheduled maintenance.
<h3>Safety Ratings</h3>
The 2025 G90 has received the second-highest honor of Top Safety Pick from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (<a href="https://www.iihs.org/ratings/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IIHS</a>). Standard safety features include forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, lane-keeping/lane-following assistance, and a 360-degree camera system.

A Prestige Black version comes along to top the range this year. Based on the variant with the most powerful engine, this treatment is cosmetic, with additions and changes both inside and out. We’ll go into more detail in our Interior and Exterior sections below. This second-generation G90 debuted for the 2023 model year.
