2008 Hummer H3 Exterior Review [ 2007 ]
Based on analysis of 56 H3 reviews and test drives.
Exterior - What the Auto Press Says
Although smaller than other Hummer SUVs, the 2008 H3 still has an appealing military-transport appearance. Kelley Blue Book says the H3 "doesn't pretend to be anything other than what it is: A capable, traditional Sport Utility Vehicle that looks the part of a serious off-road machine."
Nobody would describe a Hummer as sleek and stylish, but there's no question that squared-off, military looks are part of its appeal. The Washington Post says the H3 has a high "head-turning quotient," later writing "Even avowed SUV haters took time to eyeball this one." U.S. News reviewer Rick Newman says the H3's "distinctive Hummer styling is about as bold as it gets, rectangular and defiant in a world of slicked-back dandies."
