Highlights of the Hummer H3
Introduction
The Hummer brand has been synonymous with rugged, military-inspired vehicles since 1992, when the civilian model of the Army's High Mobility Multi-Purpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV), also known as the HUMVEE, hit the market as the Hummer M998. Over the years, the brand evolved with the introduction of the Hummer H2 in 2001, followed by the Hummer H3 in 2005. Let's delve into what sets the Hummer H3 apart from its predecessors.
Performance and Efficiency
The Hummer H3 is equipped with a Vortec 3.5L inline-five engine, delivering 220 horsepower at 5600 rpm and 225 lb.-ft. of torque at 2800 rpm. It achieves approximately 20 MPG and offers a choice between manual and automatic transmissions?"a first for the brand. The 4-wheel drive features a fully locking rear differential, complemented by underbody shielding, traction control, and GM's StabiliTrak vehicle-stability enhancement system.
In terms of off-road capability, the H3 can navigate through 16 inches of water at 20 mph or 24 inches at 5 mph. It can also tackle 16-inch steps and rocks with ease. Buyers can choose between two tire types: a 33-inch tire from Bridgestone or a 32-inch all-terrain tire from Goodyear.
Interior Features
The H3 offers an array of optional interior upgrades, including heated leather seats, front bucket seats, and 60/40 split rear seats. Additional options feature an electric sliding sunroof, a DVD-based navigation radio, four GM OnStar-compatible audio systems, and XM satellite radio. Convenience is maximized with power windows and locks, a rear window defogger, adjustable mirrors, and multiple auxiliary power outlets.
Advanced Off-road Technology
The Hummer H3’s Borg-Warner 4-wheel drive system includes a two-speed, electrically controlled function with a 2.64:1 low-range gear reduction, and an alternative version offers 4.03:1 for optimal control in challenging terrains. This system caters to all driving conditions, boasting better off-road maneuverability than the H1 and H2. Highlights include a 37-foot turning radius, 9.1-inch ground clearance, and impressive approach and departure angles.
Frame and Suspension
The H3's modular three-piece frame ensures superior strength. It features an independent torsion bar suspension at the front and semi-elliptical leaf springs at the rear. Standard skid plates protect steering components, while optional chassis-bottled rocker panel protectors offer additional safety.
Safety and Exterior Design
The H3 comes with ABS traction control, pinion steering with a 17:1 ratio, and a dynamic rear proportioning anti-lock braking system. Exterior highlights include a rear swing gate with fixed glass, standard rear wiper and defogger, and a swing gate-mounted spare tire to maximize cargo space. Its safety features are robust, featuring a reinforced passenger compartment, a fully welded ladder-type frame, dual front airbags, optional side-curtain airbags, and anti-theft systems.
Conclusion
The Hummer H3 may not have the imposing size of its predecessors, but it offers exceptional maneuverability in urban settings without compromising its renowned off-road capabilities. With a host of advanced features and safety measures, the H3 offers a well-rounded package for adventure seekers and city drivers alike.
