The Hummer H3 retains the boxy air intakes, an almost vertical front windshield, round headlights in a square light frame, a straight waterfall seven-hole tank grille, four-wheel automatic inflators, and an astonishingly large trunk volume, which is worthy of the Hummer's domineering. While maintaining the rugged style of the Hummer H2, the smaller body of the Hummer H3 is more suitable for city driving, and there is also a considerable improvement in comfort. Heated leather seats, a power sunroof, and a DVD navigation system add more comfort to everyday use. After the H1 and H2, the H3 will set a new benchmark for off-road capability in the mid-size sport utility vehicle market.

Basic features

As one of the characteristics of the Hummer, the H3 retains the boxy air intakes. The almost vertical front windshield, round headlights in a square light frame, a straight waterfall seven-hole tank grille, four-wheel automatic inflators, and an astonishingly large trunk volume are worthy of the Hummer's domineering. The length, width and height of the Hummer H3 are 4742mm, 2170mm and 1893mm, which is indeed a full size smaller than the H2's 4819mm/2062mm/1967mm. While maintaining the rugged style of the Hummer H2, the smaller body of the Hummer H3 is more suitable for city driving, and there is also a considerable improvement in comfort. Heated leather seats, a power sunroof, and a DVD navigation system add more comfort to everyday use. After the H1 and H2, the H3 will set a new benchmark for off-road capability in the mid-size sport utility vehicle market.

The 2006 H3 retains the charm of the original Hummer and excellent off-road ability, while the smaller size and more fuel-efficient layout make it more suitable for market needs. Following the H1 and H2, the H3 will set a new benchmark for off-road capability in the mid-size sport utility vehicle market. It will be available in the spring of 2005.

The wide fenders appear to have been removed, making them more suitable for driving on narrow forest paths. The short cargo compartment at the rear can be lengthened or even doubled. Just fold the rear seats and place them under the floor, open the door between the rear seat and the cargo compartment frame, and let nature breath. The roof can be fully opened.

The H3 is very comfortable to cruise on city roads and offers the climbing abilities characteristic of a Humvee. Powered by a Vortec 3500 engine, twin overhead camshafts, and variable valve timing, the H3 delivers outstanding performance while delivering good fuel economy. The fuel consumption of the H3 is about 11.7.

The ride quality of the Hummer H3

The Hummer H3 is a comfortable ride that you won't be disappointed with when you switch from a passenger car such as a sedan or wagon. The front suspension is equipped with a double wishbone type that is also used in sedans and wagons and a leaf rigid type that is used in full-scale SUVs and trucks with a hard-rear suspension. The rear suspension is a leaf-rigid type, but it is not a rigid bouncing ride like a truck, and it is a setting suitable for daily driving as a passenger SUV.

The main feature of the H3 design is a mid-size SUV with the ability to go off-road. The heart of this SUV's capabilities comes from an electronically controlled all-wheel drive system. new features such as a fully locked rear differential, traction control, underbody protection, and GM's Stabil Trak Vehicle Stability Enhancement system.

It offers some very upscale options like heated leather seats, a large electric sliding sunroof, a DVD navigation system, and plenty of custom accessories.

Appearance

Hummer H3 exterior

The exterior of the Hummer H3 is a style that is instantly recognizable as a Hummer. Straight character lines and body panels, small square side windows, a nearly upright windshield, and a plate grille with vertical slits make you feel like a Hummer no matter where you look. The door handles and mirrors are plated and combined with the front grille to give them a metallic feel. The back door opens sideways and can be handled in the same way as a side door, making it easy for anyone to open and close.

The H3 front center mesh has 7 rectangular air intakes and a double round light design, which is standard on the Hummer. The extensive chrome seven-hole front grille and mirrors, a front hood with "shutters", an almost vertical front windshield, narrow, flat side windows, and wide tires are the basic features that make the H3 look exactly like the H2, inheriting the Hummer's family lineage to the greatest extent. The front bumper, which does not look like a bumper, is presented in a special PU material in a black plain way, and two of the giant tow hooks that look like they are enough to drag the tank car are a must, although it is not necessary or necessary to do so, but it successfully shapes the strong image and style of Hummer in terms of visual presentation.

The H3 combines the unique style and capabilities of a Hummer into a mid-size layout. Compared to the H2, the H3 is 16.9 inches (429 mm) shorter, 6 inches (152 mm) shorter, and 6.5 inches (165 mm) narrower. The approximate size is about the size of a mid-size car. The exterior of the H3 has added more elements of transformation than the previous two generations, but the windshield of the sturdy front grille, the external oil cooler, and the spare tire hanging from the rear of the car are still full of manly strength. The wide fenders appear to have been removed, making them more suitable for driving on narrow forest paths. The short cargo compartment at the rear can be lengthened or even doubled. Just fold the rear seats and place them under the floor, open the door between the rear seat and the cargo compartment frame, and let nature breath. The roof can be fully opened.

Interior

The interior of the Hummer H3 is characterized by its linear and high-quality space. From here, we will explain the interior of the Hummer H3 for each part.

In addition to its unique body shape, the interior of the H3 is also more "civilian". The layout is also roughly the same as that of the same class of SUVs, and the materials and materials have been greatly improved compared to the cheap materials of the H2. The buttons on the center console are in harmony with the background and are meticulously worked. The overall interior is highly textured, and the numbers on the dashboard are clear and easy to read. The wide leather seats are soft and comfortable, and the thick leather rear wraps the steering wheel and gear lever, which feels very good. The internal panel of the H3 is made of waterproof black plastic, which also plays a good role in resisting dirt. The 5-seater H3 has a very large luggage space. The rear seat backrest can reach a luggage volume of 1577 liters when folded down, and there are four storage spaces under the floor of the compartment, and there are three behind the seats, which are more convenient to use. However, the floor of the luggage compartment after the rear seats are folded is not even, and the gap in the fold is large, making it difficult to remove small items that fall into it.
