The background

The Hummer H1 is a full-size four-wheel-drive utility vehicle based on the M998 Humvee, which was developed by AM General when it was a subsidiary of American Motors Corporation (AMC). Originally designed strictly for military use, the off-road vehicle was released to the civilian market.

The civilian version was produced from 1992 through 2006 and was the first of what became the Hummer line. AM General built both the H1 and the Humvee in its Mishawaka, Indiana, facility. GM stopped marketing the H1 in the 2006 model year, but AM General continued production of the military Humvee versions through 2018.

The engineering

Power comes from 5.7  other versions carried different engines, listed in the specification table below. It weighs 2880 kg. It shifts through a GM TH400 / 3L80 3-speed automatic / GM 4L80-E 4-speed automatic / Allison 1000 5-speed automatic. The layout matters: drive goes to all four wheels, which is what lets the power be used on a wet road. The wheelbase is 130 in. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.

Where it sits

Its family tree is legible: assembly was at Mishawaka, Indiana, United States. Its contemporaries in the catalogue — the Subaru Impreza, the Renault Twingo, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class — show what else the money bought that year. Its GM (General Motors) stablemates include the 1955 Chevrolet and the 1957 Chevrolet.
