Hummer H2 2006 has a brutal, rough, but very attractive appearance. To reduce wind noise when driving, engineers improved the sealing of windows and increased the thickness of the windshield by 20%.
The manufacturer took care of the comfort of the driver and passengers. Wide doorways make landing and disembarkation from the car and extremely easy. Special attention of engineers was paid to the design of the seats. Comfortable front seats have electric adjustment of a pillow and back on eight parametres, electric adjustment of a lumbar support on four parametres and memory for two different drivers.
In the standard version, the seats have textile upholstery. When ordering leather upholstery, the front seats have independent electric heating of the cushions and backrests with the possibility of setting different degrees of heating. Second-row passengers also receive adjustable seat cushions with electric heating. The backrest of the second row seat is divided in a ratio of 60/40 and folded separately. To ensure maximum comfort, the height of the backrest is increased. In addition, the rear seat can be quickly folded and dismantled to significantly increase the useful volume of the luggage compartment. Inside Hummer H2 2006 has a variety of storage compartments for small items, which is very convenient for long trips. The volume of the luggage compartment varies from 1132 to 2452 liters.
The center console of the “airplane” type and the gear lever, accentuated fittings, round air vents and surfaces with a relief texture – everything point to the functional military style of the Hummer. The on-board computer H2, which is a real information center for the driver, is capable of issuing up to 28 different kinds of messages reflecting the status of various car systems. It will report on the current fuel balance in the tank and the power reserve, average fuel consumption, daily mileage.
Salon is of 6-seater (2 + 3 + 1). The standard features include front airbags, child seat locks, front seatbelts attached to the seats, adjustable head restraints for all seats and numerous handrails in the cabin. Two-zone electronic climate control, included in the standard configuration, allows the driver and passenger in the front seat to choose the most comfortable temperature and blowing mode. Large round deflectors located in the center and along the edges of the instrument panel, as well as on the rear end of the center console of the cabin, ensure optimal air circulation.
Bose audio system with a CD player and 8 speakers, radio, automatic volume control according to the speed is a standard. The rear seat audio control console has headphone jacks. Depending on the version on the Hummer, you can find front airbags, remote central locking, electric drive and heated seats, rear air suspension, leather interior, chrome trim and other equipment.
The long wheelbase provides stability on the road and comfort for passengers while driving. Short overhangs help overcome various obstacles. Cornered wheels and wide track make Hummer H2 2006 the true conqueror of all roads. All versions are equipped with only a system of permanent all-wheel drive Borg Warner with a demultiplier. The work of this system is aimed at “pulling” H2 from the most impassable pit and from the quicksand.
In the Hummer H2 2006 there are four modes of all-wheel drive “4HI”, “4HI Lock”, “4LO Lock” and “4LO Lock” with the locking of the rear differential. The first is used when driving on ordinary roads, when the torque is distributed from the front to the rear axle in a ratio of 40/60 percent. The second mode is suitable for slippery coatings, it locks the axle differential and divides the torque in half between the rear and front axle. The “4LO Lock” mode works the same as the previous one, with only one difference – the gear ratio becomes lower, which allows to keep the power flow of the engine at the limit when overcoming the most serious off-road. And, finally, the 4th mode is forced by locking the rear differential, when the rear axle wheels receive the same amount of torque from the engine.
The car climbs up to vertical obstacles 40 cm high, without any discomfort to passengers. It is capable of towing a trailer with a gross mass of up to 2,272 kg and quietly overcoming reservoirs up to a depth of 20 inches. Also, he can carelessly move around deep sand and loose snow.
Hummer H2 2006 has an impressive underbody protection over the entire length of the body and a lot of reinforced units designed for operation in severe road and climatic conditions. A fully welded ladder frame, consisting of three modules, allows you to minimize body vibration when driving. In the front bumper built-in large tow hinges and bracket for the installation of the winch.
The car has a powerful 322-hp, 6.0-liter V8 engine from the Vortec family. The engine energy is transferred to the wheels through a 4-speed automatic transmission. The engine is equipped with a special fuel delivery system Hitachi, part of the electronic throttle control system. This makes it possible to choose one of two modes of accelerator control, depending on whether the vehicle is traveling on the asphalt or along the country road. Choosing the operating mode of the transfer box (High Open or High Lock), you accordingly get the dynamics of acceleration for driving on asphalt, or the ability to more accurately dose the fuel for overcoming heavy off-road.
Hummer H2 2006 has many functions to ensure active and passive safety, incorporated in the design of its body, internal and external equipment and running gear. The dimensions of the car and the exceptional strength of its frame help protect passengers if a collision still occurs. The highest strength is achieved thanks to special design solutions, such as an integral welded front frame design, extremely strong door frames made from one piece of steel and large, solid bumpers. Specially designed energy-absorbing deformable zones in the front, combined with the most rugged safety cage among all full-sized GM trucks, provide reliable protection for the car passengers.
Today the American company Hummer is a part of the General Motors concern. It specializes in the production of monumental SUVs with increased capacity.
