That is not a Humvee, it is a one of the Vehicles being considered as a replacement for it.
These replaced the Humvee in Afghanistan and Iraq. Originally developed in South Africa.
These are replacing the Humvee not because the Humvee was not a good offroad vehicle, but because the Humvee is not built to be resistant to IED/Mine explosions.
The unit you are picturing is the BAE systems RG-31 Mk3A which is resistant to IED explosions. The resistance partly is a result of having a V-shaped hull underneath, which is a feature all the latest IED resistant vehicles share.
