“Off-road enthusiasts have been patiently waiting for this, and now with a new V8 engine, the most capable off-road vehicle has also become the most powerful,” said Adib Takieddine, Hummer marketing manager.
The new cast aluminum VortecTM 5.3L V8 engine pumps 344hp and puts out a torque of 318Nm at 4000rpm.
The H3 V8’s other best in-class off-road features include the steepest approach and departure angles, tightest turning circle and lowest idle speed gearing.
At 37.5 degrees, the H3 V8 has a 12.9 per cent advantage over its nearest in-class competitor when climbing steep slopes and at 34.6 degrees, the H3 V8 has a 19.3 per cent advantage over its nearest in-class competitor when going down steep slopes.
With a tighter turning circle, the H3 V8 can successfully navigate through narrower obstacles than any other vehicle in its class.
The H3 V8 also has the lowest idle speed gearing in its segment, with a crawl ratio of 68.9:1. This provides more control when crawling at low speeds or over large obstacles and provides better braking when descending steep slopes.
“The new H3 V8 will provide the adventure of a lifetime, on or off the road. Now you can push it harder, faster, higher and even lower than ever before. It is the ultimate ‘do anything, go anywhere’ off-road adventure vehicle,” said Mr Takieddine.
The H3 V8 is the newest member in a growing family, including the HUMMER H2, H2 SUT, H3 and H3T.
Like the other members, the H3 V8 will come with the standard four-year/100,000km regional warranty.
