Overview & Reviews
A new "Alpha" trim level debuts for the 2008 Hummer H3, giving the pudgy SUV what it needed most -- a serious infusion of power via a 5.3-liter V8. Other notable changes this year include standard side curtain airbags and the availability of a rearview camera.
- Serious off-road ability, smooth ride on pavement, stable handling, simple cabin controls, comfortable seats.
- Tepid performance with inline-5, poor outward visibility for shorter drivers, subpar cargo space, terrible gas mileage.
