2010 Hummer H4 Preview

After the presentation of the Hummer HX concept car on the Detroit Motor Show we had a pretty good impression of a smaller Hummer, that is coming up. But, while the HX shows more a rough, tough dune-buggy- like vehicle, the production version, of course, will be a lot less exaggarated and more accessible for consuments.

The H4’s design is defined by typical Hummer-design clues, such as the grille, the head- and taillights and the overall boxy design. However, these are all given a modern inerpretation and a more futuristic twist. The design style is very plain, simple and geometric.

The taillights are more inspired by the legendary Hummer H1, simple, but functional. Also the splitted windshield has it’s roots at the H1.

This Hummer is really small. The size would be comparable to a Land Rover Freelander or a Jeep Wrangler. The main target is probably a young generation that is looking for action and fun, combined with prestige, without wanting to spend that much money on a huge H2. An affordable alternative, with, because of the smaller size, better driving charasteristics too.
