Hummer H2
     
THE ALL NEW 2008 HUMMER H2 SUV
 
H2 SUT
     
The All New 2008 HUMMER H2 Features   The Most Capable Sport Utility Truck Ever Built
H2 gets a completely redesigned and more refined interior that combines luxury with HUMMER's legendary ruggedness; enhanced safety features and a more powerful 6.2L all-aluminum small-block V-8 engine, rated at 393 horsepower (an increase of about 20 percent over the previous engine) and a Hydra-Matic 6L80 six-speed automatic transmission. Also, the 6L80 has a "tap up/tap down" capability that allows the driver to manually select upshifts and downshifts with a button on the column shifter.
 
Like its brother, the H2 SUV, the SUT carries passengers and cargo with comfort and ease. With four passengers on board, the bulkhead at the rear of the SUT's passenger compartment remains upright. When cargo requires more space, a 4-foot by 6-foot (122-cm by 244-cm) pickup bed can be created by powering the rear window into the Midgate, then folding forward the Midgate and rear seat.
     
Enhanced Performance - Improved Efficiency   Interior Features
Performance-optimizing engine technologies, such as variable valve timing, and the six-speed's wide gear ratios, including a "tall" overdrive gear, enable the improved performance and efficiency over previous models. The new powertrain combination helps the 2008 H2 and H2 SUT deliver an additional 1,500 pounds (680 kg) in towing capacity - an increase from 6,500 pounds (2,948 kg) to 8,000 pounds (3,629 kg).
 
The new interior delivers a refined, premium feel while maintaining HUMMER's trademark ruggedness. All-new interior features include refined, premium appointments, a completely redesigned instrument panel, and a new rear-seat overhead DVD entertainment system, navigation system, a rear-view camera system and heated windshield washer fluid.
     
All New Luxury Appointed Interior   Underneath
The new interior delivers a refined, premium feel while maintaining HUMMER's trademark ruggedness. All-new interior features include refined, premium appointments, a completely redesigned instrument panel and all-new, more comfortable seats with a full third row seat for two passengers, and a new rear-seat overhead DVD entertainment system, navigation system, a rear-view camera system and heated windshield washer fluid.

The 2008 H2 also offers a remote starting system that enables the vehicle's interior to be heated or cooled prior to driving. OnStar and XM Satellite Radio are standard.
 
While the 2008 H2 SUT is offered with a new powertrain and interior, its foundation remains the same: a fully welded ladder-type frame that features a modular, three-piece design incorporating a number of hydroformed components. This design delivers outstanding strength, stiffness and dimensional accuracy.

H2SUT has a short overhang for radical approach and departure angles, and exceptional ground clearance for minimal impact on trails. Standard 17-inch wheels, heavy-duty independent front suspension and a five-link rear suspension provide superior handling, carrying and towing capability. The solid rear axle ensures durable sure-footedness, particularly in tight, off-road situations.
     
Hummer H2, Interior   Hummer H2 SUT
     
From the flushness of the controls to the feel of the materials - H2 exudes craftsmanship. Fine details like leather seat piping create a consistent, premium interior design style across the entire HUMMER family. New door trim panels, new controls, new rear-seat heating/air conditioning system, and new rear-seat overhead DVD entertainment with a standard premium Bose surround sound system bring a fullness to the 2008 H2.
 
Also standard is underbody protection and rocker protection. These elements help the H2 SUT deliver on HUMMER's mantra of capability, including traveling through streams 24 inches (508 mm) deep, climbing 16-inch (406-mm) steps and rocks and paddling through deep sand or snow.
     
 
H2 SUT and SUV Safety Features
New standard safety features include new electronic stability control system with rollover mitigation technology, panic brake assist and roof rail head curtain side air bags with rollover sensing system. HUMMER engineers have improved interior comfort and safety by mounting the front seat safety belts to the vehicle's B-pillars rather than to the seats themselves. This change enabled engineers uncompromised comfort tuning for the seats. Front seat safety belt pretensioners are new, too, and are standard.
 
Complementing the H2 SUT and SUV lineup's performance and comfort changes are enhancements to the safety system. They include several new standard features and options:

HUMMER's Rear Vision Camera & Navigation System.
An additional optional feature that contributes to a safer driving experience

OnStar Safe and Sound is standard and now offers the optional Turn-By-Turn navigation system.

Roof rail head curtain side air bags for first, second (and third-row passengers on H2 SUV) with rollover sensing system

Safety belt pretensioners (first-row seats)

Electronic stability control system with rollover mitigation technology

New traction control system

Tire pressure monitoring system

Panic brake assist feature - the first application for a full-size GM truck or SUV - which detects emergency braking situations and maintains maximum brake pressure to help stop the vehicle more quickly and with more control - Now standard feature on all H2 models.
