HUMMER H2 SUT vs. Cadillac Escalade Review

Utility
The Escalade will most definitely prove friendlier than the HUMMER for those of you with frequent kid-cargo. The HUMMER is a better choice than the Cadillac Escalade when it comes to transporting cargo, especially if you frequently need to carry a lot of stuff or sizeable dogs.

Performance
With that kind of horsepower, both the Cadillac Escalade and the H2 SUT are genuine speedsters.

Dimensions
The HUMMER H2 SUT is considerably heavier than the Cadillac Escalade. Your wallet will hurt more every time you fill up the HUMMER H2 SUT than the Cadillac Escalade because of its larger tank. The HUMMER and the Cadillac Escalade compete for the same parking spaces.

Cost
With respect to MSRP, the Cadillac Escalade costs considerably more than the HUMMER H2 SUT.

Handling
With its tighter turning circle, the Cadillac Escalade is most certainly nimbler than the H2 SUT, something to consider if you do a lot of city driving; on the flip side, bear in mind that a vehicle with a tight turning circle may feel a bit twitchy on the highway.

Drivetrain
The H2 SUT has no lessons to learn when it comes to torque from the Cadillac Escalade.

Comfort
While the front cabin in the Cadillac Escalade offers a bit more head room than the H2 SUT, there frankly isn't much of a difference. While the rear of the HUMMER H2 SUT provides a bit more head- and leg-room than the Cadillac Escalade, there frankly isn't much of a difference.

Warranty
The HUMMER H2 SUT and the Escalade have the same basic warranty.
