The 2009 Hummer H2 combines on-road luxuries with off-road capabilities. The H2 is a carryover from the prior model year. This seven-passenger SUV's trademark tank-like exterior is both contemporary and sleek, while the 2009 H2's inside is equipped with a wealth of added features. Impressive power and flex fuel implementation round out the H2's positive attributes. On the flip side, the Hummer H2 is sure to have poor fuel economy, but without EPA estimates, buyers will not know until they drive it. Not only that, only one transmission and one engine are available, so consumers will not have the ability to customize the H2 to fit their unique driving demands, unlike the Cadillac Escalade.

Under the hood, this 2009 Hummer is equipped with a 393 horsepower Vortec 6.2L V8. The four-door model gets around 415-lbs per foot of torque as well. The Hydra-Matic six-speed automatic transmission is convenient, but some buyers might rather opt for a manual. However, the full-time four-wheel drive will certainly impress those wanting to take the H2 on rough terrain. The three-piece welded ladder-type frame gives the Hummer H2 more durability than most full-size SUVs on the market. Also, all-terrain tires come standard on the model.

Inside, the 2009 H2 has more standard features than almost any other comparable. Remote vehicle starter, leather seating, in-dash six-disc CD changer, and power door locks are all included. Buyers can upgrade to a touch-screen DVD navigation unit in the top two trims, complete with MP3 compatibility and Bose surround sound. Another luxury feature that can be added is a heated windshield washer fluid system. This system will come in handy for consumers that live in cold climates or those that simply experience harsh winters.

The H2 is fitted with a towing package that includes a receiver hitch for those that are looking for a pickup truck alternative. Heated side mirrors will be beneficial during inclement weather, and a brush grille guard protects the model's front end. The optional chrome accent package adds a bit of flair to the otherwise monotone exterior.

With a base MSRP of $59,590, the 2009 Hummer H2 will certainly not be on every consumer's must-have list. However, for those that can afford it, the H2 is worth every penny. Exceptional performance, lots of luxury features, and a great number of options make the 2009 H2 a worthwhile purchase. Not only that, the aggressive profile and versatility make the SUV a good pick for large families and buyers who simply want to drive a commanding vehicle.
