Land Rover Range Rover Sport vs. HUMMER H2 SUT Review

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. It costs about the same to get the Land Rover Range Rover Sport to the dealership as the HUMMER H2 SUT. When it comes to MSRP, the HUMMER H2 SUT costs significantly less than the Land Rover.

Utility
Neither the HUMMER H2 SUT nor the Land Rover has a marked advantage with respect to seating capacity. The HUMMER H2 SUT is likely a better choice than the Land Rover Range Rover Sport regarding transporting cargo, especially if you often need to carry a lot of gear or pets.

Comfort
Taller drivers will considerably enjoy the extra head room in the H2 SUT's front cabin compared to the Range Rover Sport. The H2 SUT offers more head- and leg-room to your passengers than the Land Rover Range Rover Sport does.

Dimensions
The HUMMER H2 SUT is considerably heavier than the Land Rover Range Rover Sport. Your wallet will hurt more every time you fill up the HUMMER H2 SUT than the Land Rover because of its bigger tank. The Land Rover Range Rover Sport and the HUMMER H2 SUT compete for the same parking spaces. The H2 SUT's longer wheelbase will result in a smoother, more stable ride; however, the Land Rover Range Rover Sport may give a nimbler feel in daily traffic.

Handling
With its tighter turning radius, the Land Rover is definitely more maneuverable than the HUMMER H2 SUT, something to consider if you do a lot of city driving; on the flip side, keep in mind that a vehicle with a tight turning circle may feel a bit twitchy on the highway.

Drivetrain
The HUMMER has a more sizeable engine than the Land Rover Range Rover Sport. Keep in mind that smaller engines typically get better gas mileage, but smaller engines can be stressed more. Torque equals pickup, and the H2 SUT will have picked up and gone by the time the Range Rover Sport finally gets moving. The Land Rover Range Rover Sport could learn a lesson or two from the HUMMER H2 SUT when it comes to torque.

Warranty
The Land Rover Range Rover Sport and the HUMMER H2 SUT have the same basic warranty.
