Overview

The 2010 Hummer H3 SUV is a rugged and capable vehicle that is designed for off-road adventure. It is available in four trims: the base, Adventure, Luxury, and Alpha. The 2010 Hummer H3 competes with other midsize SUVs such as the Jeep Wrangler and Toyota 4Runner, but it is not as fuel efficient or as car-like to drive as most of the other SUVs in its class.

Under the hood, the Hummer H3 is powered by a 3.7-liter five-cylinder engine that produces 239 horsepower and 241 lb-ft of torque. This engine is paired with a five-speed manual transmission and a four-wheel drive system.

The interior of the 2010 Hummer H3 is spacious and well-appointed, with comfortable seats and a variety of standard features, including a six-speaker audio system and a satellite radio. The Adventure and Luxury trims add even more luxury amenities, such as leather seating and a sunroof. Externally, the Hummer H3 is unmistakable with its boxy, rugged design. It features a bold grille, large headlights, and a high ride height.

Safety features on the 2010 Hummer H3 include standard four-wheel anti-lock brakes, traction control, and stability control. The H3 also comes with standard front and side-impact airbags for the driver and front passenger.

Overall, the 2010 Hummer H3 is a capable and unique SUV that is well-suited for off-road adventure. However, its poor fuel economy and poor on-road handling may make it less appealing as a daily driver. We have a few Hummer Electric listings in our Inventory ranging from $115,139 to $350,000.

Buying Advice

Out of the two trims offered for the Hummer H3, we would advise going with the base trim. It comes with 16-inch alloy wheels, full skid plates, hill-start assist, air-conditioning, cruise control, fog lamps, OnStar connectivity, Bluetooth, and a six-speaker CD player with satellite radio integration. For the outdoorsmen, we would recommend adding in the Off-Road Adventure package which gives you more freedom points and the option to justy create your own roads. We especially liked the Birch White, Black, and Canyon Metallic paint schemes for the H3 making it more imposing on the road.
