Howdy to the Hummer HX Concept
Jan 09, 2008
More compact than the H3, the HX concept previews a more versatile off-roader from GM’s blingest brand. Almost all of the exterior parts are removable, from the roof panels and the rear-roof assembly to the doors and fender flares.
That means the HX can be transformed from a wagon to a slant-back or a convertible without resorting to dangerous and irreversible chainsaw solutions.
It’s this versatility that Hummer is getting really excited about. “It’s like a four-wheel backpack that’s already fitted with the necessities,” said designer Stuart Norris. We have no idea what he means by this.
The HX is a strict four-seater, with two bucket seats in the back that can be removed for extra cargo room.
Despite the utilitarian, go-anywhere appearance - the HX sits on 35-inch tyres and features a four-wheel-drive system with a locking diff - there are a few luxury touches. Our favourite is the slightly phallic-sounding pop-up gear shifter. Top Gear
