THE
2008 HUMMER H3 | H3 Alpha | H3X
The 2008 H3 comes packed
with all the legendary capability, strength and power you'd
expect from a member of the HUMMER family. But it's also the
most manoeuvrable, most fuel-efficient and most affordable
HUMMER ever built. Which means it's just as comfortable making
grocery runs or tackling city traffic as it is climbing a
406 mm (16 in.) vertical wall or wading through 610 mm (24
in.) of water. It's the compact HUMMER that's designed to
fit your life - wherever you go.
H3
has a Peak Fuel Economy of up to 20 mpg!
Big on style and extremely rugged. The
H3 stands at 15.2 cm (6 in.) shorter in height and 7.6 cm
(3 in.) shorter in length than its bigger brother, but H3
takes full advantage of its compact size. In fact, it's shorter
in length and width than the Jeep Commander, which means it
can take manoeuvrability and accessibility to the next level.
Whether it's dealing with highway traffic, parking on a busy
street or tackling tough terrain on the weekend, it's got
what it takes to meet all your everyday driving needs. It's
the mid-size HUMMER with life-sized capabilities.
With a surprising fuel efficiency
rating of 15.7L/100km (city) and 11.5L/100km (highway), the
H3 is the most fuel efficient HUMMER ever built. The truth
is, it's actually more fuel efficient than the Ford Explorer
on city roads. But going further for a lot less, doesn't mean
you have to compromise on capability. A 3.7L Vortec I-5 engine
under the hood lets you flex your muscle while delivering
an impressive 242 hp and 242 lb.-ft. of torque. The result
is an everyday vehicle with all the power and brawn you'd
expect from a member of the HUMMER family.
Stylishly
Affordable
Good looks don't
have to come at a cost. The HUMMER H3 is more affordable than
the Nissan Pathfinder. Even better, the H3 still turns heads
- on and off the road. One glance, and you'll instantly know
that it takes its striking design cues from its bigger brothers,
including a signature 7-slot louvered grille, menacing tires,
rectangular windows and an embossed skid plate. The HUMMER
H3 - Affordable, stylish and definitely eye-catching.
H3 Alpha Male Doesn't Just
Lead, It Dominates
The first V8-powered H3
is beating a path all its own. Introducing the 2008 H3 Alpha.
The ultimate H3. Its 300 horsepower 5.3L V8 not only gets
you way out there with even greater authority, it can also
tow up to 2722 kg (6000 lb.) — an increase of 33 percent
over other H3s. While its capabilities are daunting, its level
of refinement also separates it from the pack, with features
such as standard leather appointed seating surfaces, a premium
seven-speaker sound system with in-dash six-disc CD changer
and an available rearview camera system. The dominating mid-size
SUV — H3 Alpha.
H3X Comes Customized With Loads
of Luxury
The H3X comes factory customized
with luxurious appointments throughout, including upgraded
interior seating and sound system, custom Hummer wheels, and
a more sporty exterior that sets it apart from the crowd.
H3
Was Engineered for On-Road Supremecy
And Off-Road Leadership Among Midsize SUV's
The
H3 represents a significant step in the HUMMER brand's rapid
growth, and an important product for its new network of dealers.
It joins the H1, the cornerstone HUMMER that was based on
the legendary military vehicle; the H2 SUV, the more modern
and civilized full-size HUMMER; and the H2 SUT launched in
2004 that features an innovative reconfigurable cargo bed.
H3 Fords 24" Streams,
Climbs 16" Vertical
Steps And Easily Conquers Deep Sand With It's
Larger All-Terrain &
Bridgestone 33" Tires
The H3 also has a
standard new Borg-Warner two-speed electrically controlled
full-time four-wheel-drive system with a 2.64:1 ratio low-range
gear reduction for highly controlled off-road obstacle climbing.
An optional version provides aggressive low range gearing
–- a 4.03:1 ratio –- for ultimate obstacle-climbing
control.
H3's more maneuverable size provides advantages, such as a
37-ft. turning circle and 9.1-inch ground clearance, which
contribute to maximum breakover angle of 25 degrees (with
33-inch tires). Serious off-road performance is also aided
by the maximum approach angle of 40 degrees and maximum departure
angle of 37 degrees. These approach and departure angles permit
the H3 to drive right into a hole and back out again, without
getting hung up in front or rear.
H3 provides a surprisingly smooth, comfortable ride, along
with the responsive handling and braking control that customers
want for daily driving. And the luxury equipped custom Hummer
H3X offers you enhanced interior and exterior style and presence.
