Think of the H2 SUV as a junior version of the H1 Hummer. It has the boxy body of H1 with a flat roof and 4-door cabin, but the package is smaller and more friendly for navigating city streets.
H2 rides on a modified version of the chassis of GM's Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon wagons, with mechanical components including a humongous 315-hp 6.0-liter V8 engine borrowed from full-size Chevrolet-GMC trucks.
A broad track and extended wheelbase with brief overhangs and super-sized tires work to make H2 exceptionally stable, and a high ground clearance with underbody skid-plate shielding ensures it can navigate rough off-road terrain. Every H2 stocks a Borg-Warner two-speed electronically controlled full-time 4WD system. The system divides torque from the engine either 40/60 percent front-to-rear for running at speed with differentials unlocked or 50/50 percent with differentials locked.
Riders in H2's spacious cabin rest on firm bolstered seats and encounter luxurious accommodations with optional leather upholstery and high-tech audio and navigation gear. The second-row bench holds up to three adults and an optional third-row jump seat, which can be folded or removed to expand rear cargo space, fits a teenager.
