HUMMER H2 SUV vs. Mercedes-Benz G-Class Review

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Mercedes-Benz packs quite a punch and will knock the HUMMER down a few rungs. However, note that high horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums. With that kind of horsepower, both the HUMMER H2 SUV and the Mercedes-Benz G-Class are true sportscars.

Drivetrain
The HUMMER's engine isn't much more massive than the G-Class's. Torque is the force that lets you accelerate quickly, and in this respect, the Mercedes-Benz G-Class is considerably more powerful than the HUMMER H2 SUV. Torque equals pickup, and the Mercedes-Benz G-Class will have picked up and gone by the time the HUMMER H2 SUV finally gets moving.

Utility
Drivers with frequent child-duty might favor the H2 SUV over the Mercedes-Benz G-Class. The HUMMER is likely a better choice than the G-Class with respect to transporting cargo, especially if you frequently need to carry a lot of cargo or massive dogs. The HUMMER H2 SUV outpulls the G-Class by a big margin.

Comfort
Taller drivers will substantially enjoy the extra head room in the Mercedes-Benz G-Class's front cabin compared to the HUMMER H2 SUV. The ampler interior dimensions of the Mercedes-Benz make it roomier for your passengers than the H2 SUV.

Dimensions
The HUMMER H2 SUV is substantially more bulky than the Mercedes-Benz G-Class. Your wallet will hurt more every time you fill up the H2 SUV than the Mercedes-Benz G-Class because of its larger tank. The Mercedes-Benz G-Class and the HUMMER H2 SUV compete for the same parking spaces. The G-Class's shorter wheelbase may produce a less-settled highway ride but a more agile feel in daily traffic than the HUMMER H2 SUV.

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. It costs approximately the same to get the Mercedes-Benz to the dealership as the H2 SUV. The HUMMER H2 SUV is tremendously less costly than the Mercedes-Benz G-Class regarding MSRP.

Warranty
The Mercedes-Benz G-Class and the HUMMER H2 SUV have the same basic after-sale protection.
