The innovative King Crab rear-steering mode is new for 2026 and represents a major step forward in off-road capability. This advanced steering feature repositions the vehicle on challenging trails and dramatically enhances off-road control, giving drivers a distinct advantage in tough environments. The Hummer EV's available 4 Wheel Steer tightens the turning radius for easier navigation on narrow trails and urban streets alike. Combined with extensive suspension travel, selectable drive modes, and functional underbody armor, the Hummer EV SUV is engineered for true adventurers who demand both on-road refinement and serious off-road performance. Owners of earlier Hummer EV models can also receive King Crab functionality via a software update. Ready to explore? Contact Markquart Motors at (715) 833-0444 to schedule a test drive.
