Hummer H3 On Sale at Australia Now
The HUMMER H3 will be sold in three versions on the Australian market: the H3, the H3 Adventure and the H3 Luxury.

The Australian Hummer H3 is powered by a 3.7 liter in-line five cylinder petrol engine, developing 180kW at 5,600rpm and 328 Nm of torque at 4,600 rpm. The Australian Hummer H3's Vortec 3700 engine has dual overhead cams and variable valve timing.

The striking new HUMMER H3 has secured more than 400 pre-launch customer orders ahead of its official launch this week.

With its imposing on-road presence and purpose-built off-road capability HUMMER is one of the most recognisable brands in the world.

The introduction of the H3, the brand's economical and manoeuvrable mid-size SUV, in North America has also helped make HUMMER one of the fastest growing brands.

HUMMER is launching in Australia with H3 in three models - entry level H3, the ultimate off-road H3 Adventure and highly specified H3 Luxury.

Director of GM Premium Brands, Parveen Batish, says the H3's Australian launch is part of a successful global roll-out for HUMMER.

"The H3 has proved itself in some of world's most challenging environments from Australia's Rocky Track to the famous Rubicon Trail," Mr Batish said.
"This outstanding off-road performance, together with its iconic design and city-friendly size make it the ideal vehicle to launch the brand in this market."

The first customers to order an H3 earlier this year have started taking delivery of their cars this month.

"Australians are clearly excited by the HUMMER brand, and we're finding our buyers are confident, independent minded and embrace the H3 for bringing a sense of fun and adventure to their lives," Mr Batish said.

H3 packs authentic HUMMER style and capability into more compact dimensions. Compared to the famous HUMMER H2, H3 is 39mm shorter in length, 171mm shorter in height and 73mm narrower, allowing it to navigate city traffic and still deliver HUMMER trademark crawling and climbing capability.

You are correct, but at least it isn't a bloated poser wagon (estate), dressed like a SUV (crossover). Since the Jeep Cherokee of yore, there aren't many real off-roaders left on the market. I m not suggesting you take this vehicle seriously, but most other SUVs/crossovers out there are even more worthless.

This vehicles biggest liability is its moniker and styling cues. Looking like a Hummer is not socially acceptable.

What is not acceptable is a half-ass clone of the real Hummer, the H1. The H2 and H3 just don't measure up to the H1. I sure hope the government auctions all the surplus Humvees off to the civilian market once the hostilities in Iraq are over.
