DETAILS

The H3 is designed to get you through the most off-road obstacles unscathed with its fully welded steel frame, 9.7 inches of ground clearance, and full undercarriage protection. The H3 is also particularly adept in water, being able to ford 24 inches at 5 mph and 16 inches at 20 mph. And a 37.4° approach angle coupled with a 34.7° departure angle will help you get rid of most of your hang-ups.

Since the H3 was designed to handle extreme off-road conditions, it stands to reason that it’s surefooted on-road as well, but that didn’t stop our engineers from adding a few "just in case" vehicle safety features, you know, just in case. The swing gate is mounted with a full-sized spare, the standard OnStar comes with a 1-year Safe and Sound Service Plan* and remote keyless entry with a panic button provides the driver with an heightened sense of security.

Powering the H3 is the Vortec® 3.7L engine. It turns out 239 hp at 5800 rpm and 241 lbs-ft of torque at 4600 rpm with either the five-speed manual or the available four-speed automatic transmission. Being both high-tech and lightweight, the Vortec® 3.7L further brings to the H3 a perfect balance between performance and fuel economy.**

With options like nine exterior colors, six interior choices, and a wide variety of individual accessories, you can be sure you’ll be able to create a HUMMER that is all your own.

INNOVATION

VORTEC 3.7L

Breathing life into the H3 is the Vortec 3.7L five-cylinder engine that generates an impressive 241 lb-ft of low-end torque at 4600 rpm and strikes a perfect balance between performance and fuel efficiency.* Being both high-tech and lightweight, this "smart engine" is highly durable, making it the perfect choice for the H3, allowing us to offer a HUMMER 100,000-mile/5-year transferable Powertrain Warranty,† whichever comes first.

The Vortec 3.7L is available with either a standard, smooth shifting five-speed manual transmission or a Hydra-Matic 4L60-E electronically controlled four-speed automatic transmission. The automatic transmission includes shift modes specific to the low-range operation, which, combined with speed-based throttle progressions, help optimize drivability in low-range off-highway conditions.

* EPA-estimated mpg 14 city/18 highway.

BRAKING

Stop. Let’s take a moment to talk about the H3’s braking system.

FOUR-CHANNEL ANTILOCK BRAKING

The Four-Channel Antilock Braking System (ABS), standard on the H3, allows you steering control even under extreme braking, without tire "lock up." The ABS in the H3 also adjusts to changing roads, helping you to come to a smooth, controlled stop on almost any surface. For example, after heavy rains, a washboard- type pattern can develop on dirt roads. The H3’s ABS is able to recognize this surface and react by preventing the ABS from continually repeating a cycle of applying and depressurizing the brakes.

DYNAMIC REAR BRAKE PROPORTIONING

Another integral part of this intelligent braking system is Dynamic Rear Brake Proportioning. This system modulates rear brake pressure and ensures that braking is balanced between both front and rear brakes. In English, that means the nose of the H3 won’t dive down while braking hard. And in any language, that means your passengers might not even notice what just happened.

And as is the case with all HUMMERS, there’s more.

STABILITRAK ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM

The StabiliTrak Electronic Stability Control System, standard on the H3, provides more precise, all-weather control by applying braking forces to help correct oversteer or understeer. This is particularly useful on slick surfaces or during emergency maneuvers, such as swerving to avoid an object in the road.

HILL START ASSIST

Hill Start Assist System prevents the vehicle from rolling during vehicle drive off.

AIR BAGS

All H3s come standard with dual-stage driver and right-front passenger air bags with Passenger Sensing System. This system decides whether to enable or suppress the front passenger air bags based on the passenger seated weight. The air bag is enabled when the system classifies the occupant as a larger adult and automatically turns off whenever the seat is unoccupied or if a smaller adult occupies it. In addition, the H3 has a number of child-based safety features like the LATCH system for anchoring child seats in the rear, rear-door child locks and "anti-pitch protection" for the power windows and sunroof.

Another key feature on the H3 are the standard head curtain side air bags* with Rollover Sensing System with roof line to belt rollover sensors. In the event of a moderate to severe side-impact collision, the head curtain side air bags inflate, providing added head-impact protection for the front and rear passengers sitting next to the doors.

*Always use safety belts and correct child restraints for your child’s age and size. Even in vehicles equipped with the Passenger Sensing System, children are safer when properly secured in the rear seat. Never place a rear-facing infant restraint in the front seat of any vehicle equipped with an active frontal air bag. See the vehicle Owner’s Manual and child safety seat instructions for more safety information.

ONSTAR®
DRIVING CONFIDENCE

See how OnStar® is giving drivers greater confidence on the road.

Standard for one year on HUMMER H3 is the state-of-the-art OnStar system. First and foremost, OnStar means safety. With built-in Automatic Crash Response your vehicles OnStar® system automatically connects to an OnStar Advisor and provide your H3’s exact location, along with critical crash details such as severity and type of crash. The Advisor asks whether you need assistance and can request emergency help to be sent right to you, right away – even if you are unable to ask for it.

But, we hope that never happens. So we made sure OnStar would still be useful to you in a multitude of other ways. For example, if you ever make the unfortunate mistake of locking your keys inside your HUMMER, you can call the OnStar center and an Advisor can send a signal to unlock your doors remotely.† If your "check engine" light ever illuminates or you suspect trouble, at the touch of a button on your H3’s rear view mirror, your OnStar Advisor can help by running a diagnostic check of your engine, even while you’re still driving. Or, if you've reported your vehicle stolen, OnStar can assist authorities with its quick recovery by using GPS technology.†

Also, with OnStar Turn-by-Turn Navigation,* Getting driving directions has never been this easy. It's the simplest and smartest navigation system. And its simple because it only takes one button push to get your directions; PUSH the Blue Button, TELL the Advisor your destination, LISTEN to the voice guided directions that are delivered as your need them, ARRIVE at your destination. And, Since OnStar is constantly updating its mapping database you never have to worry about out-dated maps or DVD's, and a live OnStar advisor is there to help you.

OnStar can help you stay connected with OnStar Hands-Free Calling,‡ which allows you to make and receive hands-free calls in your H3 while keeping your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road.

AND WITH YOUR NEW H3 YOU WILL RECEIVE THE ONSTAR® SAFE & SOUND SERVICE PLAN.

FULL-TIME 4WD

Powered by an electronically controlled, fully integrated powertrain system, the H3 is a versatile full-time 4WD vehicle with full-function traction control.

The powertrain-integrated, two-speed, electronically-controlled, full-time 4WD system enables you to go places even the most seasoned SUVs couldn’t dream of. By offering both high and low range, high for on-road and low for off-road, the H3 gives you more precise throttle control and more horsepower at slower speeds for times when you need it. This, coupled with the full-function, single-wheel traction control, allows the H3 to marry matchless off-road capability with fuel efficiency.*

*EPA-estimated mpg 14 city/18 highway.

ON THE OUTSIDE

PROTECTION

With all this off-road capability, exterior protection is obviously imperative. To that end, the H3 boasts underbody protection that runs the entire length of the vehicle beginning with the thick, solid aluminum front skid plate. This shield helps protect the frame and front suspension components from rock strikes and other hard hits. Also standard are three high-strength steel skid plates to help protect the oil pan, fuel tank and the transfer case.

An available Underbody Protection Package features two skid plates, providing enhanced protection for the transfer case and the transmission oil pan as well.

Also available is full-body Rocker Panel Protection designed to help protect the sides of the vehicle from even the meanest off-road threats.

With all these features, the H3 not only makes sure you can get your truck into the rough country, but also makes sure you have all the protection required to get back.

OFF-ROAD CAPABLE

The H3’s large tires, wide stance, and short front and rear overhangs combine not only to carve a distinctly HUMMER silhouette, but also to provide stability, outstanding ground clearance and enhanced rock-climbing capability. The skid plates provides vital underbody protection while off-roading. The large tires also enhance traction both on and off-road.

In short, the H3 is capable of…

GROUND CLEARANCE
Standard 32" tires: 9.7 in.
Optional 33" tires: 10.5 in.
Vertical scaling height: 16 in.
Side slope capability: 40%
