The Hummer H4 or HX is a proposed SUV reportedly in development by the General Motors Hummer division. GM may have a finished model to introduce to the market in 2008 or 2009. It is expected to compete with the Jeep Wrangler for market share. The development on new Hummer models so far has been towards SUVs that are more suitable for city traffic, a development which culminated in the Hummer H3. However, the H4 is likely to be more basic, and the focus is once again on off-road ability.
The H4 will likely be smaller than the three previous Hummers (including the H1) and is reportedly conceived to compete with the Jeep Wrangler. The design and look of the H4 has not yet been decided as GM is still deciding on what platform to build the H4. It is, however, likely that the H4 will use a shortened version of the platform currently used by the H3.
HX CONCEPT PROVIDES VISION OF A RUGGED, OPEN-AIR HUMMER
- Youthful, open-air entry-level-size HUMMER
- Designed by a trio of young designers
- Convertible body with removable roof panels and modular rear roof assembly
- Easily removable fender flares and doors
- Full-time 4WD with front and rear locking differentials
- Aeronautically inspired interior with functional, lightweight design elements
- Reconfigurable instruments for highway and off-road driving
- 3.6L SIDI V-6 E85 FlexFuel engine with six-speed automatic transmission
More compact than a HUMMER H3 – 81 inches (2,057 mm) wide, with a 103-inch wheelbase (2,616-mm) – the HX concept is an open-air, two-door off-road vehicle that packs the off-road acumen for which HUMMER has become legendary, along with an easily convertible body that acclimates to varied trail conditions, cargo needs or passenger whims. Its design is based on the ideas developed by a trio of young designers who are new to the HUMMER studio.
"The HX is HUMMER's vision an agile, trail-ready, open-air vehicle that fits the lifestyles of everyone who needs or wants to drive off road," said Martin Walsh, HUMMER general manager. "Of course, it carries exceptional off-road capability and the distinctive styling for which all HUMMERs are known."
