If you thought Captain America had a thing for Harley-Davidson’s burly bikes, think again. A decade ago, Steve Rogers wouldn’t be caught on two wheels unless they sported the iconic roar of a Milwaukee V-twin. Harley and Cap have been as inseparable as peanut butter and jelly since his very first MCU outing. But times, like superheroes, evolve. Over the years, Cap has gone from roaring past alien invasions on a Harley to commandeering a sleek pre-production C7 Corvette and even a fully-electric Audi e-tron. Talk about a glow-up!
Fast forward to “Captain America: Brave New World,” and Sam Wilson (our new Cap) narrows the playing field. Enter the GMC brand as the superhero’s exclusive ride supplier. Front and center? The GMC Hummer EV SUV. Yes, the massive, 9,000-pound, all-electric juggernaut takes the limelight, proving that someone didn’t skip their leg day.
And if you’re sitting there thinking, “How the heck does a nine-ton fridge on wheels work for a guy who hops out of planes for a living?”—we’re with you. Fear not, though, because this beast has more guts than meets the eye. Boasting 1,000 horsepower and absurd acceleration, it’s here to remind you that this is no ordinary EV. Testers clocked the Hummer EV Edition 1 blasting from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.3 seconds. That’s Porsche 911 Carrera speeds wrapped in a body that could square off against the Hulk—and maybe even win.
This isn’t GMC’s first tango in the MCU either. Back in 2014’s “The Winter Soldier,” GM shamelessly paraded its Chevrolet stars, shoving the Corvette Stingray, Impala, Suburban, Tahoe, and Malibu into our faces in what felt like a two-hour-long car ad. Now, the Hummer EV struts through Sam Wilson’s debut solo flick like it owns the streets, and frankly, it kind of does.
But that’s not all, folks. Early in the movie, Sam also makes use of a GMC Sierra pickup—a subtle nod to practicality amidst the superhero antics. Yet, much like Steve Rogers’ Harley Softail Breakout from days of yore, the Sierra doesn’t get much of a spotlight. Maybe it’s just not as camera-friendly?
Whether you’re Team EV or just here for the Marvel magic, one thing’s for sure—the Hummer EV SUV proves that even Captain America’s choice of ride needs to be nothing short of epic.

About Honda
Honda has built a strong reputation for offering a diverse lineup of clean, safe, fun, and connected vehicles. Its award-winning range includes the Civic and Accord sedans, as well as popular SUVs such as the HR-V, CR-V, Passport, Prologue, and Pilot. The lineup also features the Ridgeline pickup and the Odyssey minivan.
Leading the way in electrification, Honda’s growing electrified vehicle range already accounts for more than a quarter of its total sales in 2024. This lineup includes the all-electric Prologue SUV, hybrid-electric Accord, CR-V, and Civic models, and the CR-V e:FCEV Fuel-cell electric vehicle. Later this year, Honda’s highly anticipated hybrid-electric Prelude will also join the family.
Commitment to Local Manufacturing
Honda has proudly produced vehicles in America for over 40 years, with eight major manufacturing facilities across the U.S. By 2024, more than 99% of Honda vehicles sold in the U.S. were made in North America, including nearly 60% built in America using both domestic and globally sourced parts.
Acura has officially unveiled its next-generation electric vehicle—the Acura RSX. This groundbreaking premium EV, inspired by the Acura Performance EV Concept, represents Acura’s commitment to innovation and electrification. The all-new RSX is the first vehicle to be built on Honda’s advanced EV platform and will debut the cutting-edge ASIMO OS operating system, showcased at CES 2025. Additionally, the RSX will roll off the production line at the highly anticipated Honda EV Hub in Ohio, developing further excitement ahead of its start of production later this year.
A Design Steeped in Elegance and Performance
Real-world testing for the Acura RSX has commenced with prototype models on the road this week, outfitted in a distinctive camouflage wrap. Designed by the Acura global team, the wrap highlights the RSX’s sleek coupe-inspired silhouette. Patterns on the camouflage are crafted to emulate light passing through, reflecting a sense of calm, strength, and inner power—the very essence of Acura design.
“The RSX nameplate makes a comeback with a forward-thinking EV design that aligns with Acura’s heritage of fun-to-drive performance,” remarked Mike Langel, Assistant Vice President, Acura National Sales. “The all-new RSX will bolster Acura’s expanding EV portfolio while continuing the momentum created by our existing lineup of SUVs and sedans, including the ADX, RDX, MDX, TLX, and Integra.”
Expanding the Horizon with the 2025 ADX
Spring ushers in the arrival of another significant milestone for Acura—the launch of the 2025 Acura ADX, a turbocharged premium compact SUV. This innovative gateway model strengthens Acura’s SUV offerings and appeals to a new generation of drivers.
Honda EV Hub – A Revolution in Manufacturing
Acura’s EV innovation is backed by Honda’s ambitious efforts at the Honda EV Hub in Ohio, a state-of-the-art facility reimagining vehicle production. Scheduled to begin EV production later this year, the Honda EV Hub embodies sustainable and highly efficient manufacturing practices, enabling the production of internal combustion, hybrid-electric, and battery-electric vehicles on a single line.
Mike Fischer, Executive Chief Engineer and leader of the Honda North American BEV Project, stated, “The RSX will not only be the first EV to emerge from the Honda EV Hub but also signals a shift in how we approach manufacturing—an effort driven by quality, efficiency, and environmental responsibility.”
The reimagined facilities include advancements like megacasting technology at the Anna Engine Plant for building larger, more robust Intelligent Power Units (IPU), which house the RSX’s battery and form part of the vehicle’s platform. This is an entirely new capability for Honda globally, reflecting its pioneering leap forward in EV manufacturing.
Acura’s Vision – Precision Crafted Performance
Acura continues to epitomize performance, innovation, and craftsmanship through its growing lineup of vehicles. With sport sedans like the Integra and TLX and SUVs such as the RDX, MDX, and ZDX all contributing to the brand’s success, the addition of the ADX and RSX cements Acura’s leadership in evolving the automotive landscape.
Built on the DNA of Precision Crafted Performance, Acura’s vehicles offer expressive design, advanced engineering, and dynamic driving experiences. By delivering on its electrification goals and further perfecting its core lineup, Acura solidifies its reputation as a trusted leader among automotive and EV enthusiasts.
Whether you’re drawn to Acura’s performance legacy or eager to explore the future of electrified driving, the RSX EV and the Honda EV Hub reaffirm Acura’s dedication to shaping the automotive industry for generations to come.
