HUMMER in 2008 for Europe

H3 benefits from refinements and updates
H2 gets new engine and new interior

The 2008 model year promises to be a period of further growth for HUMMER in Europe with various refinements and updates, new interiors and a new engine. These developments clearly demonstrate the commitment of this, already legendary iconic brand to raise its profile and brand awareness in the European market.

HUMMER H3
The HUMMER H3’s iconic design continues to make it one of the most easily recognizable vehicles on the road. Model year 2008 comes with a new front bumper design, new distinctive HUMMER front grille insert, new protective front skid plate and a new finish on the standard 7.5 x 16-inch alloy wheels.
The HUMMER H3 is powered by the GM Vortec 3.7 litre, inline five-cylinder engine. It delivers 180 kW (244 hp) at 5,600 rpm and 328 Nm of torque at 4,600 rpm. An optional diesel engine will be added to the H3 at a later date. The H3 offers, as the first Hummer ever, the choice of a manual or an automatic transmission.

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.
