Hummer H2 SUV Review
Overview
The SUV in question is the Hummer H2 — man, where to start. This is a beast of a vehicle that does not need to see where it’s going to be able to feel comfortable. It’s bold and brash and has no qualms about its life size. There’s something about driving that makes you feel like you are driving and not like you are conquering. While the H2 was never officially sold in India, enthusiasm had no bounds and the H2 made its way onto our shores. I understand this; the road monster is just simply too irresistible. I’ll take you through everything this machine is capable of in this review (and then all of the downsides you need to be aware of, of course).
Key Takeaways
- The military-inspired, aggressive styling is impossible to miss on the Hummer H2.
- Inside, it’s surprisingly premium with premium materials and a spacious cabin akin to a mobile living room.
- It’s powered by a 6.2L V8 engine, which provides 393 bhp and 563 Nm of torque, which means this SUV speaks power, nothing but raw power.
- The biggest downside? It’s pretty shocking how this thing drinks gas.
- It may not boast good fuel efficiency and has been discontinued for some time, but if you ever wanted a Hummer H2, you’re going to have to pay a premium for it.
We take a look at Exterior Design and Build Quality.
Military-Inspired Aesthetics
So first off, design, the H2’s design because you can’t really not notice it. It kinda has this military-inspired look, that boxy frame like you would find in a tank combined with a wide stance that makes it all the more formidable. Aggressive front grille and massive skid plates have always been something of a bold statement: here’s something built to tackle just about anything. When you do though, yeah, you turn heads, but I’ve had people also stop me and ask questions about it. And that’s the thing I love, it’s not subtle. Driving a celebrity is kind of like that, you don’t melt into the background in a Hummer.
Robust Build and Durability
I love how tough the H2 is. It’s not your typical SUV here, I mean. It’s purpose-built to take whatever you throw at it. At around 3,000kg kerb weight, it’s heavy and solid, and you can feel that solidity the second you sit in it. I’ve never felt that I wouldn’t have to worry too much about crashing the car; that I could hit a boulder and I mean wouldn’t really have to worry about it—well, not boulders but you know. The thing is a tank. It’s an adventure machine that screams high ground clearance and overall ruggedness. This is the SUV for you if you’re looking to go off-roading.

Color Options Available
Anyway, now I’ve always been a fan of bold colors on bold cars, and the H2 gives you just that. No matter if you choose black, yellow, red, or silver, you are making a style statement. I’ve driven a black H2 before and let me tell you, you feel like the king of the road. You’re spending this kind of money — so you want something to really stand out, don’t you?
Interior Features and Comfort
Luxurious Cabin Materials
That is where things begin to get interesting. On the outside, you look at the H2 and think it’s all rugged and rough, but step inside, and you’re in the land of pure luxury. The first time I ever got into one, I was genuinely shocked. Seats are leather, dashboard materials are high quality and the cabin is spacious, screaming comfort. Honestly, you’re kind of in a high-end luxury vehicle here. I’ve traveled in this SUV for long drives and have never felt cramped or uncomfortable. The materials feel premium — bedrock basic stuff — but the vehicle is well executed with just a few thorny niggles like the oil needs and how the rear doors operate. Whether it’s been a bumpy ride, there’s plenty of space to untuck your sleeves and spread out to enjoy the journey.
Advanced Infotainment System
The H2 tech isn’t over the top, but it does exactly what you’d expect it to do. I like the 8-speaker Bose system — for rich sound, blast your favorite playlist on a long drive or just enjoy a podcast, it fills the cabin. Also, there’s Bluetooth connectivity; I can take calls hands-free and I don’t have to fumble with my phone. And it’s easy to navigate and exactly what you need in an SUV this big on adventure.
Seating and Upholstery
In regards to comfort, there’s no seat in the house as good as that of the H2. Legroom is generous — 1049 mm in the front and 980 mm in the rear. The place seems spacier than most apartments in the city. Its leather seats ooze premium feel, and whether you’re the driver or a passenger, you will feel comfortable. Inside the H2, everyone was as happy as I was during road trips. It’s not just rugged, it’s practical.

Performance and Engine Specification
Powerful V8 Engine
It's also where the H2 really comes alive. It’s under the hood where you get a 6.2L V8 engine spitting 393 bhp of power at 5700 rpm and 563 Nm of torque at 4300 rpm. The H2 is for you if you like feeling power at your fingertips… or should I say feet? And whether you’re running around town or highway driving, it has more than enough muscle to it, and it just seems like it’s got plenty for whatever you need. I mean, for something this big, that’s really pretty good: it can go from 0 km/h to 100 km/h in 8.2 seconds.
Off-Road Capabilities
That’s where the H2 earns its stripes. So if you’re the off-roading type, they’re practically looking at you and telling you to take them out for a spin over some rough terrain. Not just city roads, it has full-time four-wheel drive, low-range gearing, and a locking rear differential. It just keeps going; I’ve driven it on dirt paths, through mud, and even in the snow. With high ground clearance, short front and rear overhangs, good breakover, and departure angles, you are able to handle steep inclines. I've never been anything but confident that this thing can handle any challenge out there.
Fuel Efficiency and Mileage
Official Mileage Figures
Now things take a little less exciting turn. But if you’re considering fuel efficiency, the Hummer H2 probably isn’t for you. It's notoriously bad on gas, and it's really bad. We’re talking 3 to 5 km/l, depending on how and where you drive it. If you’re lucky, you can actually get as much as 4 km/l on the highway. Something I had to learn to accept quickly, but if you’re going with a Hummer, you probably know what you’re in for.
Real-World Fuel Economy
For those of you who have never subjected your vehicle to the scrutiny of real life, real-world fuel economy is only slightly better. You’ll feel it at the pump. Just be prepared to visit the gas station more often than you’d hoped unless you plan to only use it for city driving or long road trips. In my case, I learned to tell myself that this is an SUV experience, not an economy.
On-Road Performance
The H2 may be large, but it's an easy machine to handle. It’s big; parking in tight spots can make you nutty, but you’ve got a 6.2L V8 engine working to move you where you need to be. Ventilated disc brakes offer solid braking, and the turning radius is adequate, as one would expect with the size of this truck. It’s got plenty of get-up-and-go around town and it cruises along on the highway.
Closing Remarks of the Hummer H2 SUV
Ultimately, the Hummer H2 is not, in any sense, merely a car. It’s an experience. It’s one of those cars with a massive presence, off-road capabilities, and makes you feel like you can do anything. While the fuel economy is terrible and maintenance is expensive, for the right sort of driver, the H2 is worth every bit of it. The Hummer H2 is something bold, powerful, and fun to drive — if you ask me, you can't go wrong with it.

User Reviews for Hummer H2
H2 is a fantastic SUV and is certainly worth considering
In general, the Hummer H2 vehicle has a truly remarkable look and feel to it. It is a joy to drive, has great features, and offers a unique experience. The only disadvantage is the fuel economy, which is what caused the brand to be discontinued in the first place. When compared to other full-sized SUVs of a similar size, the H2 has a slightly lower fuel economy. However, this is compensated by its distinct styling and its off-roading capability. It is a shame that the H2 was discontinued and GM is rumored to bring it back in an electric form. It will be exciting to see what GM does with the Hummer brand in the future. Despite its fuel economy issues, the H2 is a fantastic SUV and is certainly worth considering.
The interior, which was covered in cheap, beige and grey plastic
As I clambered onto the enormous, American-made vehicle, I was really excited about the prospect of getting to drive it. However, my enthusiasm quickly evaporated when I saw the interior, which was covered in cheap, beige and grey plastic. Oh, and t the centre console storage compartment isn't much better - I accidentally cracked it when I leaned my elbow on it. To be honest, the dashboard material in your kid's Power Wheels is of a higher quality than the one in the Hummer H2.
As terrible of a car as it is, it's simply too captivating to be disregarded.

Made to look cool, but that's about all
When you lay eyes on a Hummer H2, you realize that it was made to look cool, but that's about all. There's a faux central tire inflation system, and the gas mileage is unimpressive at just 12 mpg. Parking the H2 is a challenge due to its size, and the interior isn't very spacious compared to the exterior dimensions. In fact, the cargo space is even smaller than a Honda Pilot's. You'd expect the brakes to be effective, yet it takes forever to slow down, and you get a whiff of burned brake pad emissions in the cabin. Was this normal? Who knows, but it was definitely a frightening experience.
Issues with oil pressure were a typical grievance
Issues with oil pressure were a typical grievance, repairs for this kind of issue can cost up to 5,70,000 INR
Many 2006 Hummer H2 proprietors detailed noisy thumping clamors close by coolant misfortune. Most of them supplanted their oil siphon to determine the issue, yet, in many cases, the issue stayed. Sadly, a few drivers had to supplant their motor to take care of the issue. A few 2003-2006 Hummer H2 proprietors have grumbled that their SUV is inclined to motor stalling and low idle speed. Ordinarily, servicing the throttle body fixed the issue. Throttle body cleaning regularly expenses some place in the scope of 18,000 - 20,000 INR
On the off chance that you experience this issue with your Hummer, note that various hidden issues can cause your H2 to stall. Thus, it's ideal to take your vehicle to an auto fix shop for legitimate analysis.
