2008 Hummer H2, H3
MSN Autos
With fuel prices steadily rising across America throughout 2007, many consumers thought spiraling fuel costs would be the death knell of big Hummer SUVs.
However, the strong presence of these go-anywhere vehicles has kept interest alive enough for the company to introduce a new version of the H3 and a restyled H2 for the 2008 model year. The H3 Alpha is at the top of the H3 lineup, offering higher performance as well as increased luxury. The added performance is courtesy of a 5.3-liter V8 engine producing 300 horsepower, which gives the Alpha a towing capacity of 6,000 pounds—a 33 percent increase over the standard H3. A Chrome Appearance package, 16-inch chrome wheels, a 4.10 rear axle ratio and special Alpha identification, including a prominent tailgate badge, horn pad badge and embroidered front headrests with the “Alpha” insignia also help differentiate this special H3. Meanwhile the larger H2 and H2 SUT get fresh styling inside with some minor changes on the exterior. The instrument panel is all new, as are the seats, door trim, controls and the new rear-seat DVD entertainment system. A number of new audio systems are now available. The 2008 Hummer H2 is also available with a powerful 6.2-liter V8 engine that produces 393 horsepower, increasing towing capability to a maximum 6,500 pounds.
