H3

Essentially a smaller, more tractable, and less-expensive version of the HUMMER H2, the mid-size HUMMER H3 debuts for 2006 and is based on the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon pickups. While the five-passenger H3 adopts the brand's classic militaristic styling, but is about 17 inches shorter in length, 6.5 inches narrower and half a foot shorter than an H2. As a result, it's the most agile HUMMER in the line, but is still able to scramble over virtually anything in its path via a choice of two four-wheel-drive systems, each of which are supplemented by both traction and stability control, a locking rear differential and oversized wheels and tires. Unfortunately, the only available powerplant is a 3.5-liter five-cylinder engine that provides a barely sufficient 220 horsepower. Still, the H3 is the first HUMMER to offer a manual transmission for ultimate off-road control. It's also the first HUMMER to achieve noteworthy fuel economy, achieving around 20 miles per gallon on the highway.
