Dubai, United Arab Emirates - With its unmistakable HUMMER design and a compact, go-anywhere driving ethic, the HUMMER HX concept challenges the hierarchy of the trail. HUMMER displayed the nimble, reconfigurable off-roader at the 2008 North American International Auto Show.
More compact than a HUMMER H3 - 2,057 mm wide, with a 2,616-mm wheelbase - the HX concept is an open-air, two-door off-road SUV 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 offers an open-air driving experience via a pair of removable roof panels above the driver and front passenger, and a removable rear roof assembly. With the roof panels and roof assembly removed, the HX is transformed into a true convertible. Additional convertible features include easily removable pins in the exposed hinges allow the doors to be removed quickly and the composite fender flares which can be quickly removed for additional trail/rock clearance.
