On top of the addition of the availability of a E85 Flex Fuel capable 5.3L V8 engine, the mid-size all-terrain vehicles will also see the addition of three new exterior colours.
Both H3-based vehicles will begin arriving in dealerships before the end of 2009 in North America.
“In 2007, Hummer committed to offer a biofuel powertrain in every vehicle by 2010 and follows through on that promise with the addition of a new 300-horsepower, E85 Flex Fuel capable 5.3L V8,” said James Taylor, Hummer CEO. “This is just the first step in Hummer’s evolution to offer responsible, yet highly capable all-terrain vehicles. Future models will be lighter, more efficient and will continue to offer the best blend of off-road capability and on-road performance.”
The new 5.3L V8 Flex Fuel engine is standard in all 2010 Alpha series’ models and is a member of GM’s small-block V-8 family. It is rated at 300 horsepower (224 kW) and 320 lb.-ft. of torque (434 Nm).
Hummer is also introducing three new premium colours for 2010, which include Red Rock Metallic, Silver Stone Metallic, and Canyon Metallic.
Pricing for the 2010 model year H3 remains unchanged from 2009, with a starting MSRP of US$33,390. H3T pricing begins at $30,915, a slight $165 increase from 2009. Hummer has lowered the 2010 H3T Alpha price $335 with a new MSRP of $35,680. All 2010 models also include destination charges of $780.
The 2010 HUMMER H3 and H3T are scheduled to arrive in dealerships in December 2009.
