The 2008 H3 SUV is a 4-door, 5 passenger luxury sport-utility, available in 5 trims, ranging from the Base to the Alpha. It bears a military-inspired design and an amazing off-road capability. It still lives up to its off-road reputation with a powerful engine and rugged suspension.
“The base H3 and H3X are powered by a 242-hp, 3.5-liter, in line five-cylinder engine bolted to a 5-speed manual transmission. The H3 Alpha brings V-8 power for increased towing and stronger acceleration offering 317 pounds/feet of torque and 6,000 pounds of towing capacity (3,000 for the base model.).”
The 2008 Hummer H3 receives a new front bumper design, new distinctive HUMMER front grille insert, new protective front skid plate and a new finish on the standard 7.5 x 16-inch alloy wheels.
Compared to the H2, the H3 is 16.9 inches (429 mm) shorter in length, six inches (152 mm) shorter in height and 6.5 inches (165 mm) narrower.
It also has its strict and active safety features. 4-wheel anti-lock disc brakes with Dynamic Rear Proportioning balanced brake pressure between front and rear. Dual front airbags and head curtain side airbags.
As always, I can say that Hummers doesn’t excel in its handling dynamics. Though I understand that it isn't supposed to be a sports car, but other trucks handle better. But I was totally impressed with the H3's suspension and off road power.
The hummer H3’s iconic design continues to make it one of the most easily recognizable vehicles on the road.
