Motor Trend has reported that Hummer will be adding the newest and smallest SUV to its lineup. The long-awaited H4 has been given the green light to become a production vehicle. But when will we see it?
According to blog master Rory Jurnecka at Motor Trend:
The two-door, four-seat H4 should feature proportions similar those of the Jeep Wrangler and will represent the new entry-level model in the Hummer lineup, slotting in just underneath the H3. According to the Hummer Guy report, the doors, fender flares, and roof will be removable, and its wheelbase and height will be shorter. But it'll still be clearly recognizeable as a Hummer.
We're guessing the H4 should be fully trail-capable and just as functional as the H1 was designed to be, should the going get tough. After all, Hummer does have an image to uphold even if the majority of Hummers battle potholes rather than rocks. In addition, the smaller model will make an easier sell outside of the U.S.
Rumors have been flying for some time about the so-called baby Hummer, also known as the H4. Now, according to Automotive News and the Hummer fan site Hummer Guy (http://www.hummerguy.net/hummer-news/hummer-h4-no-longer-just-a-concept-vehicle), the small SUV project is in development and has received the go-ahead for production.
While the model year predictions are different -- anywhere from 2009 to 2011 is being tossed about -- one thing is clear, the long-awaited small Hummer is on the fast track to dealer showrooms. According to Hummer Guy, a concept version of the vehicle, called the HX, will first be seen at the 2008 Detroit show and has already been shown to Hummer dealers by brand honcho Martin Walsh.
