New Hummer H3 V8, the most capable and powerful off-road adventure vehicle

Notes and media contacts

About Hummer:
Hummer is the fruit of an agreement signed between General Motors and AM General back in December 1999. The iconic Humvee is the original Hummer, the cornerstone of the brand. Its core values are still largely maintained in current Hummer line-up, the most capable line-up of off-road vehicles that don't compromise on luxury.

In the Middle East, Hummer's line-up consists of the H2 which reflected an evolution of the brand making Hummer more accessible to a wider civilian audience upon its launch in 2003; the midsize H3 that widened the brand's appeal to a an even broader range of owners. The H3T with its pick up capabilities complete the line-up.
