The Hummer HX has gone from sketch to design to concept and now it is ready to wheel out on the stage at the Detroit Auto Show to show its stuff. Based as an entry-level Hummer and aimed to compete directly against the relatively unchallenged Jeep Wrangler the Hummer HX appears to be intended to rule the trail. Beneath the hood the HX Concept is packing a 3.6 liter SIDI E85 FlexFuel engine that can take both regular gasoline and ethanol based E85. That same engine is producing 304-hp and 273-ft lb of torque with a six-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission sending that power to all four wheels.
here are those who think of Hummer as a wasteful SUV builder and there are those who love their Hummer and all it provides. The Hummer HX Concept steps a bit out of the typical Hummer mold as it is the smallest Hummer yet designed, has the first FlexFuel standard engine and is designed around an aeronautical theme of light weight materials. While these steps will not earn them the Al Gore Gold Medal for Environmentalism it just might peak the interest of many car/SUV buyers.
