A tribute to the discontinued Hummer H1 which was based on the military Humvee, the Hummer H2 is based on the Chevrolet Tahoe platform. Technically larger than the original H1, the H2 platform has actually been modified for proper off-road duty in keeping with the Hummer name. In 2005, the Hummer H2 wagon was joined by a second model called the SUT, or Sport Utility Truck. The SUT version, as its name implies, looks like a pickup, characterized by its unique tailgate, short pickup bed, and a
standard tailgate-mounted full-size spare tyre. The new 6.2-litre V8 was
introduced for 2008, mated to a new six-speed automatic and a mild facelift that
includes a new interior. Features include air suspension, roof rack crossbars, an AM/FM 6-disc CD changer, leather seats, onboard air compressor, ESP, ABS brakes, numerous airbags, reverse camera and a first aid kit. Options include exterior chrome appearance package, 17-inch chrome wheels, chrome tubular assist steps, navigation and a third-row seat for the wagon. The Hummer H2 offers truly impressive off-road capabilities. However, its size makes us wish it was banned from on-road use.

Hummer H3
The H3 is the smallest addition to the Hummer line-up. Based on the Chevrolet Trailblazer platform, it is a midsized, five-passenger 4WD wagon that carries the military design cues and off-road capabilities of the Hummer H1, but puts them in a smaller and ultimately more affordable package. The H3 provides a good level of off-roading equipment, with luxury features to boot, and at a very good price. With rising petrol prices, the H3 is awkwardly marketed by touting its improved fuel economy for a Hummer, though still hardly impressive. The H3 comes with a new 3.7-litre five-cylinder engine from 2007, with a standard five-speed manual or an optional four-speed automatic. The 5.3-litre V8 Alpha model was added for 2008, with a four-speed automatic. The H3 delivers serious off-road capability, with low-range gearing and good ground clearance. The base price includes cloth seating for five, power windows and locks, remote keyless entry, a CD audio system, cruise control and all-terrain tyres on 16-inch wheels. Safety features include ABS brakes, traction control, frontal and side-impact airbags and a tyre-pressure monitoring system. Options include leather seating, chrome wheels, in-dash six-CD changer, navigation, a power sunroof
and more.
