Yea, I would assume so. But, he did mention that driving impressions are embargoed for a bit so it probably be the same stuff. Didn't really learn much new here except to see the area under the back load floor. Unless I missed something...
Just saw a post that the embargo ends later this month.

According to GM Authority, March 23rd seems to be when people will be sharing their full reviews.


While we will soon be behind the wheel of the 2024 GMC Hummer EV SUV, we will only be able to share driving impressions starting March 23rd, so we’ll be unable to answer any questions until then. We encourage readers to post their questions in the comments section below, and we’ll get back to you on the date above.

Hmm, I didn't know about the power rear door, my wife wishes her Defender had that. Does anyone else offer a power side opening door? I'm also always curious why side opening rear hatches don't open to the left, so you can load it parked on the street without stepping into traffic or walking around the door.

Supposedly hatches typically open from the driver side/are hinged on the passenger side. E.g., GX460, Jeep, Bronco in the US all have passenger side hinges. FJ Cruiser is left hinged, but maybe because it's a Japanese vehicle (though that wouldn't explain the GX), as is the Mercedes G Class. Not aware of any others being power operated, though.

If you get a flat tire and have to change it, you do not want the tire access on the street side of the vehicle. You will need to open the rear first to get the tools and jack.

I guess in that case a set of road flares spaced out enough will help keep you safe.
Yeah, you do tend to open your rear door more often to get stuff in and out than change a tire. It's weird on Defender as well because the default right-hand drive models open to the right allowing easy access when driving/parking on the left side of the road but they don't flip it for left-hand drive markets to save money on parts.
