Then came the Hummer H3. The H3's styling still proclaimed loudly that it's a card-carrying member of the Hummer guild, and the truck had more off-road capability than just about every other midsize SUV when the pavement ends.
Unless you were driving the "Alpha" version, which boasted V8 power, the Hummer H3 was painfully slow in certain situations.
Current Hummer H3
The Hummer H3 was a midsize SUV that was produced from 2006-'09. Hummer addressed the power shortage in 2007, bumping it up to 3.7 liters and 239 hp. In our Hummer H3 road test, we recorded a 0-60-mph time of 11 seconds. Allowed to play in the dirt, the smallest Hummer was basically unstoppable.
For optimum performance, adding the optional Off-Road Suspension package yielded a shorter-geared transfer case for better hill climbing and descending, a locking rear differential, 33-inch off-road tires and firmer suspension tuning.
Outward visibility was hampered by the gun-slit-style windows and tailgate-mounted spare tire.
Aside from its engine updates, there were few changes during the Hummer H3's single generation. Stability control and side curtain airbags were made standard for '08 and a rearview camera became optional.
