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.
