2008 Hummer H2 Base 4WD Automatic

Model Highlights

The 2008 Hummer H2 is built on the four-wheel-drive Chevy Tahoe platform, but with a heavier-duty frame and sturdier suspension components. Its high seating position and imposing stance has the tough-guy appeal of the H1, but with an MSRP that starts at $56,655. Two body styles are available: a sport utility body and what Hummer calls an SUT, or a sport utility truck with an open-air 4x6-foot pickup-style bed. Even though the H1 and H2 share the same attitude, the H2 differs significantly from the original military-style H1 in many ways. It features an extensive list of luxury and comfort-oriented equipment. Leather front and rear heated seats are standard as are eight-way power adjustable seats. A standard driver information center monitors fuel economy, vehicle speed history and 23 different vehicle systems such as coolant and transmission temperature, and oil level and pressure. No fewer than six auxiliary 12-volt power outlets are standard throughout the cabin. Added sound insulation makes day-to-day use more comfortable. Remote keyless entry and dual-zone automatic climate control are standard, as is a Bose AM/FM stereo with six-disc CD changer. OnStar with one year of service and XM satellite radio are included. Surprising to some is that the H2 is actually larger than the H1. Off-road capabilities are still impressive, as the H2 can ford 20 inches of water and climb over boulder size pavement chunks with its 9.7-inch ground clearance. Both the H2 and the H2 SUT are available in three grades: Base, Adventure, and Luxury. The Adventure includes an air compressor, air suspension, a first aid kit, rubber floor mats, unique 17-inch aluminum wheels, a tool kit, and a brush guard. The Luxury trim adds a rear entertainment system, rearview camera system, a sunroof, third row seating and a number of chrome enhancements. The 2008 Hummer H2 has grown up with new levels of comfort and convenience, but off-roading enthusiasts needn't be alarmed: it still remains a Hummer at heart.
