"Hammer H3": all the fun about the recognizable SUV

"Hammer H3" is a car that was introduced to the world in 2003. The presentation of the car was in Los Angeles. It was then that the world saw this compact concept. As a basis for the creation of this machine was taken platform Chevrolet Colorado / TrailBlazer. The model turned out to be very interesting, so I would like to tell more about its features.

The most interesting about the model

So, the "Hammer H3" differed from the rest of the large-sized cars with a soft convertible roof, the body of a pickup that opens on three sides, a full drive (it turns on, by the way, only if necessary). And of course, you can not fail to note the trim from Nike.

The chassis was based on a supporting frame with a rear multi-link and front torsion suspension. The body and the driver's cabin are made as a whole. The decision to execute a design in this way came to the developers not spontaneously. This was done to increase the rigidity of the entire structure.

The exterior was decided to do too deliberately rough. "Hammer H3" demonstrates flat body panels, a square box, large headlights and a rectangular radiator lining. All this is the company's trademark features. The length of the machine is 4440 mm, width - 1890 mm, and height - 1790 mm.

About construction

The Hummer H3 pickup truck has a very unusual design. The machine is pretty big. This car has a soft roof, which is easy to unfasten. It's called soft-top. In the body there are side doors, which, at first glance, are invisible. They consist of two halves. One is the top one, which opens sideways. And the other - the lower one, that folds down and turns into a convenient step.

This is a very functional add-on. Thanks to them, you do not have to try to get to things through the whole body. They are at hand. And in the side walls of the cargo compartment developers have built sealed tool boxes (very practical, since they are foldable). The tailgate can be thrown away, due to which a single plane with the bottom of the body is formed.

Intriguing and courageous appearance of this car. His military appearance is largely preserved, but this image designers tried to give ease and originality. Take at least rubber with red stylish inserts and an interesting tread pattern. Bright upholstery with scarlet inserts, too, attracts attention, as well as the lighting devices of the same color. Do not leave indifferent and chrome trim of the dials plus a wide color display.

Specifications

Hummer H3 - hatchback with a powerful 3.5-liter 5-cylinder 350-horsepower engine, which is equipped with a turbocharger. It operates under the control of the 4-speed transmission HydraMatic 4L65-E4.

According to the American classification, this car belongs to medium-sized cars, which have such a feature, as increased cross-country ability. But, despite the reduced size (if you compare it with the predecessor of the Hummer 2), the car retained its off-road qualities and off-road patency, which is inherent in all models of the brand.

Features

"Hammer H3" reviews are mostly positive. And this is not surprising, because its features are a strong steel modular frame, disc brakes equipped with ABS, a self-locking rear differential and a 100% recognizable corporate style. Getting inside the car, you wonder - is it really "Hammer H3". Indeed, everything is very luxurious and harmonious, and only high-quality materials were used in the finish.

The trunk, by the way, is very capacious - it can be increased to 1577 liters from the standard 835, if you fold the rear seat. And they are also preparing a newer version - Hummer Alpha. The model should be modern, with a modernized chassis, retuned suspension, steering and a powerful 5.3-liter engine for 295 liters. from.
