Audi Q7 vs. HUMMER H2 SUV Review

Utility
The HUMMER H2 SUV and the Audi Q7 can accommodate the same number of passengers. The HUMMER H2 SUV is a better choice than the Audi Q7 in terms of hauling capacity, especially if you frequently need to carry a lot of gear or big dogs. Towing is substantially more the H2 SUV's forte than it is the Q7's.

Performance
With respect to horsepower, the HUMMER H2 SUV packs quite a punch and will knock the Q7 down a few rungs. On the other hand, keep in mind that high horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums.

Dimensions
The HUMMER H2 SUV is substantially more bulky than the Audi Q7. Your wallet will hurt more every time you fill up the HUMMER H2 SUV than the Audi Q7 because of its larger tank. The HUMMER H2 SUV and the Audi Q7 compete for the same parking spaces.

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. The Q7 is significantly cheaper to get to the dealership than the H2 SUV. As far as MSRP, the Audi Q7 costs substantially less than the HUMMER H2 SUV.

Handling
With its tighter turning circle, the Audi Q7 is definitely more agile than the HUMMER H2 SUV, something to consider if you do a lot of city driving; however, keep in mind that a vehicle with a tight turning circle may feel a bit twitchy on the highway.

Drivetrain
The Audi Q7's engine is tremendously smaller than the HUMMER's. Note that a smaller engine usually has to work a little harder; however, smaller engines are often cheaper to fix. Torque is the force that lets you accelerate quickly, and in this respect, the HUMMER is tremendously more powerful than the Q7. The HUMMER H2 SUV packs quite a wallop compared to the Q7 regarding torque, which is roughly equivalent to acceleration.

Comfort
While the front cabin in the HUMMER H2 SUV offers a bit more head room than the Audi Q7, there really isn't much of a difference. The ampler interior dimensions of the HUMMER H2 SUV make it substantially more spacious for your passengers than the Audi Q7.

Warranty
The Audi Q7 and the HUMMER H2 SUV have the same basic after-sale protection.
