2008 HUMMER H2 Luxury

Presenting a truly remarkable offering: this 2008 Hummer H2 Luxury 4x4 SUV, a vehicle that stands as a bold testament to rugged capability paired with premium refinement. With an astonishingly low mileage of just 68,706 miles—exceptionally rare for its model year—this H2 represents a unique opportunity to own one of the most iconic SUVs ever produced, in a condition that reflects its careful use and preservation. The 2008 model year brought substantial upgrades to the H2, transforming it into a more refined and powerful version of its former self. At the heart of this transformation is the all-new heavy-duty 6.2-liter V8 engine, delivering an impressive 393 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque. This substantial power upgrade is complemented by a newly introduced six-speed automatic transmission with “tap-up and tap-down” manual shifting capability. The combination provides a noticeable improvement in acceleration, towing capacity (up to 8,000 pounds), and overall drivability. According to Car and Driver, the 2008 H2 “zips in and out of strip-mall battlegrounds faster than you can sing ‘Oh, beautiful for unwavering might.’” This enhanced powertrain also contributes to smoother highway cruising, thanks to improved gearing and reduced reliance on downshifts, making long journeys far more comfortable than previous iterations. Externally, the 2008 H2 retains its signature aggressive stance but features subtle refinements that elevate its road presence. The front fascia was revised with larger grille slot openings and a silver-painted lower bumper, giving it a fresh yet unmistakably Hummer look. The bold “HUMMER” lettering on the grille has also been updated, reinforcing its commanding identity. Inside, the H2 underwent a complete overhaul in 2008, addressing prior criticisms of interior quality with significant improvements. The cabin now features soft-touch materials, a redesigned instrument panel, and upgraded switchgear that exudes a sense of craftsmanship previously absent. The new seats include body-mounted safety belts, improving the fit of the shoulder straps for greater comfort and safety. This particular H2 Luxury includes the highly sought-after Luxury Preferred Equipment Group, a package with an original MSRP of $6,410. It brings a host of premium features such as a rear-seat DVD entertainment system with a roof-mounted screen—perfect for keeping passengers entertained during long drives—and an upgraded audio system with navigation. This navigation system, a $1,720 upgrade, includes a rear-vision camera, enhancing visibility and maneuverability in tight spaces. The practicality of the H2 is further amplified by the inclusion of a full-size third-row seat, offering true seven-passenger capacity. The third-row seat is removable, allowing for additional cargo space when needed. Despite its imposing size and off-road prowess, the H2 remains remarkably versatile, making it suitable for both urban commutes and outdoor adventures. From a historical perspective, this specific Hummer H2’s life in California adds a noteworthy layer of appeal. California’s mild climate means the vehicle has been spared exposure to harsh winter conditions and road salt, factors that often contribute to accelerated wear and corrosion in vehicles from other regions. This California residency is reflected in the vehicle’s clean history report, with no accidents or damage reported to Carfax. Off-road enthusiasts will appreciate the H2’s unparalleled capability in tackling rugged terrain. With a ground clearance of over 10 inches, generous approach and departure angles (39.8 and 37.1 degrees, respectively), and a dual-range transfer case, this Hummer can conquer obstacles that most other SUVs wouldn’t dare to attempt. As Motor Trend noted, the H2’s “four-wheeling skills” are exceptional, with its six-speed transmission’s lower first gear and manual selection mode providing a crawl ratio of 39:1—a 20 percent improvement over earlier m
