Mercury Mountaineer vs. HUMMER H3 SUV Review

Utility
The Mercury Mountaineer's bigger trunk will accommodate more sizeable items than the HUMMER H3. The Mercury Mountaineer will very likely prove handier than the HUMMER H3 for those of you with frequent child-cargo. The Mercury Mountaineer is a better choice than the H3 as far as hauling capacity, especially if you frequently need to carry a lot of cargo or large beasts. The Mercury Mountaineer outpulls the HUMMER H3 by a big margin.

Dimensions
The HUMMER H3 is a little more ponderous than the Mercury Mountaineer. The Mountaineer's tank is roughly the same size as the HUMMER H3's, though the HUMMER H3's is a tad bigger. The HUMMER H3 and the Mercury compete for the same parking spaces.

Convenience
You'll indubitably take the HUMMER H3 for a fill-up approximately as often as the Mercury Mountaineer.

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. It costs roughly the same to get the HUMMER H3 to the dealership as the Mercury Mountaineer. When it comes to fuel economy, the Mercury Mountaineer is a little better than the H3, but not by much. As far as MSRP, the Mercury Mountaineer costs approximately as much as the HUMMER H3 (though the HUMMER H3 is a little cheaper).

Handling
The H3 and the Mercury Mountaineer have approximately similar tires. With their comparable turning radii, the Mercury Mountaineer and the HUMMER H3 definitely handle about the same into and out of tight spots.

Drivetrain
The Mercury Mountaineer's engine is significantly more sizeable than the H3's. Note that bigger engines may use more gas than smaller ones. Torque equals pickup, and the Mercury Mountaineer will have picked up and gone by the time the HUMMER H3 finally gets moving.

Comfort
While the front cabin in the HUMMER H3 offers a bit more head room than the Mercury Mountaineer, there honestly isn't much of a difference. While the rear of the Mercury provides a bit more head- and leg-room than the HUMMER H3, there honestly isn't much of a difference.

Overview
The basic after-sale protection that comes with the Mercury Mountaineer isn't quite as generous as the HUMMER H3's.
