Exterior |
| HUMMER design is iconic.
H3's daring looks make it readily identifiable as a HUMMER. It's a
matter of form following function. Features like its wide track width,
short overhangs and huge tires provide stability, outstanding ground
clearance and quick rock-climbing capability in off-road driving. |
| The H3's flat, chiseled
surfaces; upright windshield and windows; signature seven-slot louvered
grille; round headlamps housed inside square openings; and pronounced
fender flares are all pure HUMMER. Power and strength emanate from
its cube-like metal billet form. |
| Large tires are a staple
of HUMMER style, clearly signaling the trucks' capability. H3's 32-
and 33-inch tires carry that family trait strongly. Six-lug 16-by-7.5-inch
aluminum wheels are standard, with chrome wheels available. |
| The large rear swing gate
encompasses fixed glass, standard rear wiper, defogger and full-size
spare tire. The swing gate-mounted spare, a HUMMER first, enhances
interior cargo room. |
| Among other exterior design
highlights are a highly protective aluminum front skid plate; hefty,
stamped-steel front and rear bumper bars; a composite front fascia,
with "HUMMER" molded into the driver's side; standard front
tow hooks; and a welded-on rear bumper recovery hook. |

Interior |
| The H3's interior is inviting
and modern, blending premium cues with world-class craftsmanship.
Upscale touches include a perforated, leather-wrapped and stitched
steering wheel and automatic transmission shift handle; bright-accented
instrumentation; brushed, machine-finished trim plates; chrome door
release handles; chrome bezel for the automatic transmission shifter;
and a chrome H3 emblem in the center of the steering wheel. |
| Where most drivers &
passengers spend their time is in the sporty front bucket seats and
60/40 split rear seats, with foam inserts and soft bolsters, provide
both comfort and good off-road operating support. They are available
in standard cloth and optional leather. |
| On the dash the instrument
panel is positioned to ensure an optimal view of the road, with easy-to-read
liquid crystal displays and a driver information center in the center
of the cluster. A center stack includes four levels of controls arranged
horizontally for easy use. |
| For the audiofiles their
are four audio systems available, all compatible with GM's OnStar
system and optional XM Satellite Radio. They include an optional touch-screen
DVD-based Navigation Radio, with a 6.5-inch screen, separate DVD and
CD slots, Radio Data System capability and navigation map database. |
| In the roof a large, 36.1-by-24.6-inch
power sunroof is available and includes easy-to-operate "express"
opening and closing functions, with anti-pinch safety protection. |
| Some additional standard
electronic features include power windows and door locks with lockout
protection; electric rear window defogger; outside power-adjustable
manually folding rearview mirrors; self-dimming "electrochromic"
inside rearview mirror with compass and outside temperature indicator;
and three 12-volt, covered auxiliary power outlets (two in front,
one in the cargo area). |
