I would expect that there are smaller Hummer versions coming, but compared to everything else on their plate right now, what’s the rush?
Just the Cadillac brand alone has Optiq, Escalade iQ, and Vistiq all in launch / ramp mode now. Chevrolet and GMC are introducing lower trims of the Silverado and Sierra EVs. Buick will need something like yesterday because they are about to be sledgehammered in the new Trump tariff world. They only have one vehicle in the portfolio that isn’t imported. Plus CT4 and CT5 end of life has already been announced so expect EV sedans to come from Cadillac soon. So, yeah, mid-size pickups and smaller Hummers are likely coming, but back burner. Especially since Colorado / Canyon are selling well.

A small SUT/SUV combo from GMC would fill two holes in the portfolio. I noticed on my block a neighbor came home with not one, but two, Bronco Sports. I don't know if those were panic buys (given prospective tariffs and MSM fear mongering). GMC could build a BEV Maverick/Bronco Sport type combo. That would be cool.
