Although outward visibility is compromised for style, the H3 seats five in relative comfort. Lots of ground clearance, aggressive approach and departure angles, standard skid plates and optional 33-inch off-road tires further emphasize the H3's go-anywhere demeanor. Available for hard-core off-roaders is an optional 4:1 low-range that allows the junior Hummer to creep down seriously steep trails without using the brakes. Full-time four-wheel drive is standard with a two-speed transfer case. As it stands, the H3 is downright sluggish compared to rivals such as the Nissan Xterra, Toyota FJ Cruiser and Jeep Grand Cherokee V8.Īlthough it may not be speedy, the 2007 Hummer H3 is not without its charms. Still, with a weight of 4,700 pounds, the portly H3 could really use a more powerful V6 or even a V8. This year sees a sorely needed boost in output, with horsepower increasing by 22 to 242 hp and torque increasing by 17 pound-feet, for a total of 242 lb-ft. Based loosely on the midsize Chevrolet Colorado/GMC Canyon pickup platform, the H3 is more suited to tackling narrower trails than the broad-of-beam brutish H2.Īlthough it shares only about 15 percent of its components with the Colorado/Canyon, the H3 does have the same five-cylinder engine. Trading on the tough truck styling cues of its much larger H2 brother, the 2007 Hummer H3 is a lot more reasonable in terms of size and cost.
