The Hummer EV CrabWalk ek aisa feature hai jo sab ki nazar ko attract karta hai — chaaron wheels ko diagonally steer karke aap apni SUV ya truck ko “crab-style” chalate hain. Is look mein naya hai, lekin practical use cases par nazar daalne par ye feature controversial bhi hai.
CrabWalk Kaise Kaam Karta Hai
CrabWalk 4-wheel steering system ka ek mode hai — jab mode activate hota hai, rear wheels front wheels ke direction ke saath angled hote hain (max ~10 degree).
Is mode me vehicle diagonally move kar sakti hai — matlab aap traditional forward/back turning ke bajay diagonal direction me chal sakte hain.
Limitations hain: CrabWalk sirf low speeds (generally < 20–25 mph) me activate hota hai.
Situations Jahan CrabWalk Useful Ho Sakta Hai
Tight Parking / Narrow Spaces: Agar aap ek large SUV/truck drive kar rahe hain, aur parking lot ya narrow driveway me cramped space hai — diagonal movement se maneuver thodi asaan ho sakti hai.
Off-Road Trails / Rough Terrain: Rough off-road terrain ya path jahan aapko obstacles ke beech adjust karna ho — CrabWalk se rear wheels front ke saath align hoke vehicle ko sidestep karne me madad mil sakti hai.
Large Vehicle Maneuverability: Considering size of Hummer EV (badi SUV/truck), 4-wheel steering + CrabWalk ka hona — normal steering se thodi flexibility badha sakta hai.
Limitations — Jab CrabWalk Zyada Useful Nahi
Speed & Use-case Restrictions: CrabWalk low-speed mode hai. Daily highway driving ya fast traffic me iska koi fayda nahi; aur feature automatically disengages above certain speed.
Real-World Utility Rare: Kuch reviewers bolte hain ke regular driving, parking ya off-roading me, jo benefit hai usse normal steering ya 4-wheel steering hi de sakti hai.
Marketing vs Practicality: CrabWalk ka “wow” factor hai — diagonally chalna, crab-style move — jo ads aur marketing me impressive lagta hai, lekin real life me bahut zyada occasions nahin milte jahan aap actively is feature ka use karein.
Ek review me likha gaya:
“While CrabWalk is mostly useful for marketing, King Crab (rear-steer mode) reigns supreme as it can actually be useful in certain day-to-day scenarios.
Verdict: Gimmick Ya Useful Tech?
Agar aap frequent urban driving, normal parking, ya regular commuting karte hain — toh CrabWalk zyada faida nahin dega; yeh ek “cool feature” se zyada nahin hai.
Agar aap off-road, tight parking lots, narrow driveways, ya large vehicle maneuvering jaisi situations face karte hain — tab CrabWalk (ya uska upgrade) kaam aa sakta hai.
