The CrabWalk feature deserves special mention, it allows all four wheels to turn in the same direction, enabling diagonal movement that can be invaluable when navigating tight spots or positioning the vehicle on difficult terrain.
Combined with extract mode, which can raise the suspension significantly, the Hummer EV can overcome obstacles that would stop lesser vehicles.
While its enormous battery pack adds substantial weight, it also provides tremendous range for off-grid adventures.
For those who want the ultimate in electric off-road presence and capability, the Hummer EV delivers an experience unlike any other.
The Fisker Ocean Force E builds on the already impressive Ocean SUV platform, adding purpose-built off-road upgrades for adventure seekers.
This vehicle strikes a balance between everyday usability and serious off-road capability.
According to Top Gear, the Force E comes equipped with 33-inch all-terrain tires, reinforced wheels, and full-length titanium underbody protection, a serious commitment to off-road durability. The increased ground clearance allows it to navigate challenging terrain while maintaining the Ocean’s efficient electric powertrain.
Inside, Fisker has created a robust rubberized interior with added grab handles, acknowledging that off-road adventures can get messy. This practical approach means owners can enjoy their adventures without worrying about damaging delicate interior surfaces.
The Force E represents an interesting middle ground in the electric off-roader space, more capable than conventional electric SUVs but more accessible than the extreme Hummer EV. For many adventurers, this balance might be just right.
If you’re looking for an electric off-roader that prioritizes on-road performance but can still handle light off-road duties, the Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo offers a compelling package.
This wagon-styled variant of the Taycan sports car features adaptive air suspension and a dedicated Gravel mode that raises the ride height and optimizes traction systems for unpaved surfaces.
Top Gear notes that while it won’t tackle the Rubicon Trail, it’s perfectly suited for gravel roads, forest trails, and rally-inspired driving.
“The Taycan Cross Turismo proves you don’t need to sacrifice performance when venturing off the beaten path—it delivers Porsche’s legendary driving dynamics with surprising all-terrain capability.”
The Cross Turismo combines Porsche’s legendary performance with surprising utility, offering cargo space, roof rails, and just enough ground clearance for light adventure duty. For luxury-minded buyers who occasionally venture beyond the pavement, this electrified Porsche provides a unique blend of capabilities.
No discussion of off-road vehicles would be complete without mentioning Jeep, and the upcoming all-electric Jeep Recon promises to bring the brand’s legendary capabilities into the electric era.
