What Sort of Vehicles Does Hummer Make?

The Hummer H1 was a massive and brutish SUV that was spartan compared to modern standards. The H2 was meant to be a more urbane take on the concept, and was still large and capable. The H3 was a midsize SUV and pickup, based on the Chevrolet Colorado platform. The current Hummer EV is sold under the GMC brand, and is offered as a two-row SUV or a four-door pickup. Both are some of the largest and heaviest electric vehicles sold today. The Hummer EV has swift acceleration, lots of high-tech features, and impressive off-road capabilities.
