Bloomberg says General Motors is considering developing a smaller Hummer pick-up to be sold alongside the current model, opening the door for exporting the Hummer brand into more international markets.
The smaller Hummer would give GM the ability to compete against an electric Ford Ranger Lightning pick-up truck in the US and other countries, along with other promised electric pick-ups like the Tesla Cybertruck.
If developed, the smaller Hummer would likely have a lower starting price point than the current model, making it more accessible to a wider range of consumers.
While the US car giant has yet to confirm whether there is a mid-size Hummer ute in development, but it's possible the vehicle could ride on GM's BEV2 electric vehicle architecture - the same platform that underpins the Chevrolet Blazer EV, Chevrolet Equinox EV, Cadillac Celestiq, and the future Honda Prologue.
Like the current GMC Hummer EV pick-up and SUV, the smaller model would likely offer all-wheel drive and big performance numbers.
The Hummer on sale in the US now promises 746kW and an estimated torque figure of between 1485Nm and 2033Nm from its three electric motors - enough to send the 4100kg pick-up to 100km/h from a standstill in a claimed 3.1 seconds.
