HUMMER H2
The 2008 HUMMER H2 and H2 SUT have a completely redesigned, more refined interior that combines luxury with HUMMER's legendary ruggedness. It features for example a completely redesigned instrument panel, new seats – including a full third-row seat for two passengers – new door trim panels, new controls and a new rear-seat heating/air conditioning system.
The heart of the '08 H2 is a new, 6.2 litre V-8 engine. Its rating of 293 kW (393 hp) marks an increase of about 20 percent over the previous engine. A new six-speed Hydra-Matic 6L80 RWD automatic transmission, with manual shift capability, increases towing capacity from 2,948 kg to 3,727 kg. New safety features include roof rail head curtain side air bags with rollover sensing system, new traction control system and tire pressure monitoring system.
