More facts on the wonder that’s Hummer
The H3 uses the 3.7 L (3653 cc) Atlas straight-5 engine, the same engine that is used in the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon pickup trucks. The H3 concept car was a pickup truck, and currently introduced as a conventional SUV, with a future model close to the concept being planned to be launched in the third quarter of 2008.
This 20-valve DOHC unit produces 242 hp (180 kW) at 5600 rpm and 242 ftlbf (327 Nm) at 2800 rpm. It is available with a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission that includes GM’s Stabilitrak vehicle stability control. Its 111.9 in (2842 mm) wheelbase is 1.1 in (28 mm) shorter than the GMT360 SUVs.
It includes an electronically-controlled dual-speed transfer case and electronic locking differential. The H3 has full-time four wheel drive, meaning all 4 wheels are permanently powered.
Since it is rated at less than 8500 lb (3856 kg) (GVWR), Hummer is required to provide official fuel economy ratings.
Tested by many companies, the Hummer H3 with automatic transmission is targeted at 15mpg, approximately 13 in the city and 18 on the highway.
The H3 is also available in manual transmission, 16mpg, with 15 in the city and 19 in the highway.
