How we verify Hummer H3 performance data

We include only independently published road-test results from automotive publications. Manufacturer-claimed 0–60 times are excluded unless clearly labeled. When multiple publications test the same Hummer H3 trim, each run is listed separately — weather, tires, surface, rollout, and instrumentation all affect results.

Hummer H3 performance FAQs

6 questions
The quickest Hummer H3 on record is the 2008 Hummer H3 Alpha, which runs 0–60 mph in 8.3 seconds and clears the quarter-mile in 16.30 seconds at 87.0 mph.
The slowest recorded Hummer H3 is the 2006 Hummer H3 SUV, which takes 11.3 seconds to reach 60 mph and runs 17.70 seconds in the quarter.
Averaged across all 10 verified runs, a Hummer H3 reaches 60 mph in 9.90 seconds and completes the quarter-mile in 17.32 seconds at roughly 80.4 mph.
We have verified test data for 2 model years. Each year shows every recorded run, the publication that measured it, and the trim-level details.
Every figure is sourced from published road tests by Car and Driver, Motor Trend and Motor Week. We don't use manufacturer claims — only independently timed runs — so the numbers reflect what the car actually does.
0–60 and quarter-mile results depend on driver technique, ambient temperature, tire condition, road surface, altitude, and testing instrumentation. A published figure is a single sample, not an absolute — which is why we show the range of verified runs rather than one number.
