Utility
Drivers with frequent kid-duty might favor the typical SUV over the H2 SUT. The HUMMER H2 SUT is likely a better choice than the typical SUV in terms of transporting cargo, especially if you often need to carry a lot of luggage or sizeable pets. Towing is significantly more the HUMMER H2 SUT's forte than it is the typical SUV's.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the HUMMER H2 SUT packs quite a wallop and will knock the typical SUV down a few rungs. On the flip side, keep in mind that high horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums.

Dimensions
The H2 SUT is tremendously heavier than the typical SUV. Your wallet will hurt more every time you fill up the HUMMER H2 SUT than the typical SUV because of its bigger tank. The HUMMER H2 SUT and the average SUV compete for the same parking spaces. The HUMMER H2 SUT's longer wheelbase will likely result in a smoother, more stable ride; on the other hand, the typical SUV may give a nimbler feel in daily traffic.

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. The typical SUV is considerably cheaper to get to the dealership than the HUMMER H2 SUT. The HUMMER H2 SUT is tremendously more expensive than the typical SUV with respect to MSRP.

Handling
With its tighter turning circle, the typical SUV is definitely more maneuverable than the HUMMER H2 SUT, something to consider if you do a lot of city driving; on the other hand, note that a vehicle with a tight turning circle may feel a bit twitchy on the highway.

Drivetrain
The HUMMER H2 SUT's engine is tremendously bigger than the typical SUV's. Bear in mind that larger engines may use more gas than smaller ones. Torque equals pickup, and the HUMMER H2 SUT will have picked up and gone by the time the typical SUV finally gets moving. The average SUV could learn a lesson or two from the HUMMER H2 SUT in terms of pickup.

Comfort
While the front cabin in the HUMMER H2 SUT offers a bit more head room than the typical SUV, there really isn't much of a difference. The HUMMER H2 SUT is not particularly roomier for your passengers than the average SUV.

Overview
The basic warranty that comes with the average SUV isn't quite as generous as the HUMMER H2 SUT's.
