HUMMER H2 SUV vs. Infiniti FX50 Review

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. It costs almost the same to get the Infiniti to the dealership as the HUMMER H2 SUV. In terms of MSRP, the H2 SUV costs almost as much as the Infiniti FX50 (though the Infiniti FX50 is a bit cheaper).

Utility
The H2 SUV will most certainly prove handier than the Infiniti FX50 for those of you with frequent kid-cargo. The HUMMER H2 SUV is likely a better choice than the Infiniti FX50 regarding transporting cargo, especially if you often need to carry a lot of gear or large animals. The HUMMER outpulls the Infiniti FX50 by a large margin.

Comfort
Taller drivers will significantly enjoy the extra head room in the HUMMER H2 SUV's front cabin compared to the FX50. The ampler interior dimensions of the HUMMER H2 SUV make it considerably roomier for your passengers than the Infiniti FX50.

Dimensions
The HUMMER is tremendously heavier than the FX50. Your wallet will hurt more every time you fill up the H2 SUV than the Infiniti because of its bigger tank. The HUMMER H2 SUV and the FX50 compete for the same parking spaces. The H2 SUV's longer wheelbase will likely result in a smoother, more stable ride; on the flip side, the FX50 may give a more agile feel in daily traffic.

Handling
With its tighter turning circle, the Infiniti FX50 is most certainly nimbler than the HUMMER H2 SUV, 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 HUMMER H2 SUV has a more massive engine than the Infiniti FX50. Note that smaller engines are often cheaper to fix, but smaller engines can be stressed more. The Infiniti could learn a lesson or two from the H2 SUV when it comes to pickup.

Warranty
The basic after-sale protection that comes with the H2 SUV isn't quite as generous as the FX50's.
