The H2, which is the second in the series of vehicles that has been manufactured under the Brand name Hummer by the General Motor Corporation, is actually a six-seater which looks somewhat like a big truck. Primarily used as an American Military vehicle, the inspiration for creating this automobile was taken from the Humvee military automobile.
The frame assembly of the H2 is composed of three definite parts and the whole vehicle weighs a massive 8600 lbs. Fitted with a 6.0 litre 316 hp V8 engine, the 0-60 mph mark is reached in 14.7 seconds. Its front suspension system and muscular build has accorded quite a bit of loyal followers, but it is a fact that driving a Hummer H2 around is not exactly the best think to do if you are on a shoestring budget, because of its high fuel consumption.
The stage is all set for the 2008 Hummer H2 SUV which showcases an entirely new and enhanced interior that goes well with its rough and tough image. Features like a dressed up instrument panel, seats that are more comfortable and stylish, rear seat a/c or heating, entertainment audio and video systems etc make the ride more enjoyable and comfortable.
One of the most remarkable features of the new 2008 Hummer H2 is its light weight 6.2 litre V8 engine made from aluminium that has a power output of 393 hp and 415 lb-ft torque. The use of variable valve timing technology to increase its performance has been met with open arms mainly due to the fact that such a system offers an increase in fuel efficiency. A 6-speed automatic gearbox that is controlled electronically adds more smoothness to the ride quality in combination with the heavy-duty front suspension and a five-link rear suspension.
In short, with some great interiors and adequate safety features, the new Hummer H2 is a vehicle that is all set to capture the market speedily.
