The HUMMER H3

HUMMER H3

Designed with Iconic looks for Global Appeal

HUMMER design is certainly iconic and the H3’s distinctive looks make it instantly recognisable as a HUMMER family member.  Power and strength emanate from its chiselled surfaces, while its short overhangs, pronounced fender flares and huge 32-inch outside diameter tyres hint at outstanding off-road capability. 

Headlights have an oval design with a chrome surround.  Clear lenses with amber bulbs, specially designed side blinker lamps and a unique tail lamp design were also adopted to meet international and UK lighting requirements.  A headlamp levelling system is standard and a redesigned rear bumper with standard trailer hitch and enlarged step is combined with a new Rear Protection Under Run Device and rear fog lamps.

The large side-hinged tailgate has a fixed glass heated rear window, standard rear wiper and carries the full-size spare tyre.  The spare has a lockable cover embossed with HUMMER. 

Other exterior design highlights are a protective aluminium front skid plate; hefty, stamped-steel front and rear bumper bars; a composite front fascia, with a ‘HUMMER’ logo moulded into the nearside, standard dual heavy duty front tow hooks, and a welded-on rear bumper recovery hook.

In the UK, the H3 is available in a choice of three solid and six metallic exterior colours: Black, Birch White and Victory Red (solid), plus Ocean Blue, Arctic Silver, River Rock, Torch, Sandstone and Lunar Gray (metallic).

Expressive, refined HUMMER-brand ambience

The interior design of the HUMMER H3 represents the start of an entirely new design theme for HUMMER.  From the outset it was designed to be a vehicle for everyday driving and that focus strongly influenced the design, with comfort and intuitive function as key factors.

The H3’s interior design is expressive, refined and true to the brand’s ambience.  The interior fittings have tight panel gaps and flush surfaces, and the tone is lightened with the use of bright trim accents and the use of colour.

Front and rear, there is generous head, leg and shoulder room.  The perception of roominess within the vehicle is boosted by a headliner trimmed in a pale tight-weave fabric.  The pillar mouldings are finished in the same colour to harmonise with the headliner.  The large 916 x 624 mm powered sunroof offered on the H3 as an option can be opened, closed or set to the ‘vent’ (tilt) position.

The centre stack, which is a flush fit to the dashboard, is finished in a new material called Nissha.  This material carries a metallic finish for a premium look, but is resistant to light reflection and smudges - for excellent wear.  Nissha is also featured in the instrument cluster, which is positioned to ensure an optimal view of the road and maximum clarity for its easy-to-read liquid crystal displays.  A driver information centre includes four levels of controls arranged horizontally for easy use.

The standard easy-opening, one-piece tailgate makes for convenient loading and unloading of the cargo area which measures 1273 mm wide x 811 mm long with the rear seats upright.  In this mode, capacity is a generous 835 litres and folding down the 60/40 split rear seat expands cargo volume to 1597 litres.

Tough, durable materials protect the cargo area sidewalls, while the floor is covered by a rubberised Tufflor material, which is superior to traditional carpets, mats or rubber floors in its resistance to scratches and damage.

H3 customers have a choice of five interior colour combinations - all Ebony and Ebony with Light Cashmere seat cushion inserts for the standard cloth seats.  For the leather trim, the choice is all Ebony with Pewter piping, Ebony with Morocco-toned seat cushion inserts and piping, or light Cashmere with Ebony piping.
