The 2022 GMC Hummer EV Truck Is Incredibly Hefty

The 2022 GMC Hummer EV should have enough power to move its weight. The three-motor Edition 1 model is expected to provide 1,000 hp and 11,500 lb-ft of torque. Keep in mind that the torque figure is measured at the wheels after torque multipliers, but it could still work out to about 1,000 lb-ft of motor torque.

The 2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz N Would Be a Phenomenal Upgrade

It's possible that the 2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz N wouldn't require more power, but we will have to see how fast the 2.5-liter engine can go first. It provides the Santa Cruz with a towing capacity of 5,000 lbs and is paired with an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission.
