New for 2009
The Off-Road Adventure package now includes a front locking differential along with the locking rear differential.
Exterior
The H3 is easily identifiable as a Hummer due in part to its short overhangs, upright windshield and windows, wide track and immense tires. Flat, chiseled surfaces also make the H3 noticeable. The seven-slot grille is flanked by round headlights in square openings.
§ Minimum 8.5 inches of ground clearance
§ Two-foot water-fording depth
§ Standard front tow hooks
§ Rear swing gate incorporates fixed glass and a door-mounted full-size spare tire
§ Thirty-two-inch all-terrain Goodyear tires or 33-inch Bridgestone tires
§ Sixteen-inch wheels are standard and 18-inch chrome rims are optional
§ Optional sunroof
Interior
The comparatively new H3 never came under the same fire as the larger H2 for its interior design and materials. Its quality is higher to begin with, and the model's lower overall price probably keeps expectations lower. Sporty bucket seats up front and a 60/40-split folding rear bench accommodate up to five occupants.
§ Standard cloth upholstery
§ Optional heated leather seats
§ Standard remote keyless entry and three 12-volt power outlets
§ Optional backup camera
Under the Hood
The H3 is powered by a 3.7-liter inline-five-cylinder engine with dual overhead cams and variable valve timing. It makes 239 hp and 241 pounds-feet of torque. In the H3 Alpha, as important as the V-8's 300 hp is a jump to 320 pounds-feet of torque from the regular engine's 241 pounds-feet.
§ Five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission
§ 4,500-pound towing capacity with inline-five-cylinder
§ Standard full-time four-wheel drive
§ Underbody skid plates
Safety
OnStar comes standard with one year's worth of safety and security service. After that, a monthly fee is required to maintain the service.
§ Side curtain airbags
§ Electronic stability system
§ Antilock brakes
