January 04, 2008 - Independence Hummer, one of the leading Hummer dealers in Charlotte, North Carolina, is proud to announce that the 2008 Hummer H3 Alpha has won the coveted Four-Wheeler of the Year award, organized by Four-Wheeler auto magazine.
This year marks the Hummer division’s first-ever win in this competition organized, every year, since 1974 by Four-Wheeler magazine.
Contenders for the 2008 event were six new four-wheel-drive sport-utility vehicles: the Hummer H3 Alpha and the full-size Hummer H2, the Jeep Liberty and Grand Cherokee CRD, the Nissan Pathfinder, and the Toyota Land Cruiser.
The H3 Alpha emerged victorious in the most challenging categories of the competition, including Off-Road Performance, Exterior Styling, and Empirical Scoring, which measures data such as acceleration and braking, power to weight ratio, and ramp over angles. The test consisted of a 1,000-mile curriculum on streets, highways, rocky trails, desert sand dunes, water crossings, and steep hills. Elevations ranged from sea level to in excess of 6,000 feet.
The H3 Alpha is the second member of HUMMER’s exclusive Alpha series and is powered by a new, 5.3L V-8 engine that delivers 295 horsepower and 317 lb-ft. of torque. It is partnered with a four-speed automatic transmission and enables a maximum towing capacity of 6,000 pounds.
