Overview & Reviews

The 2008 Hummer H2 hits the ground with a familiar look but more power under the hood and welcome refinement inside. Highlights include a new 393-horsepower V8, a completely redesigned instrument panel, new seats -- including a full third-row seat for two passengers -- revised door trim panels and controls, and new comfort, entertainment and safety features.

• Distinctive styling, unmatched off-road capability, beefy V8 engine.

• Cumbersome proportions, poor outward visibility, limited cargo room, abysmal fuel economy.

  H2 IS KING! - 2008 Hummer H2
  By HUMMER RULES! - October 27 - 2:17 am

  Owning this vehicle has been a dream of mine forever. I finally decided to purchase and dont have "BUYERS REMORSE" yet. My family loves it and we are planning trips for future adventures. People tend to stare when we drive down the street. And when I enter the vehicle Its like a whole new world. I absolutely love my decision and happy to be an owner.

  The best SUV! Like nothing else! - 2008 Hummer H2
  By SD90 - May 29 - 9:51 am

  Ive only had this H2 for a month, but I love it so far. It puts a smile on my face every time I get in it! The gas mileage is better than I expected with the new 6.2L / 6 speed transmission. Im getting 16 mpg city driving, and 19 hwy, (Imp mpg, I am in Canada!) Its about the same as my 07 Ram 3500 Diesel, (NOT the dual rear wheel) For you that want to figure it out, my last fill up, I went 230 km on 34 L. It was on the highway between 100-110 km/h. The interior is much more refined than the 03 - 07 models. The exterior doesnt have to be changed at all! It still looks like nothing else on the road. You feel very safe while driving in the H2. I love it!

  Great at what it is supposed to be. - 2008 Hummer H2
  By Gman - May 17 - 9:12 am

  The H2 is a full size offroad truck based SUV, so its 12-13 mpg city, 14- 15 mpg highway is on par with other truck based SUVs of its size, difference is that nothing looks, rides, performs like a H2. New interior is excellent, my kids love it, and those who dont like it need to understand that there are plenty of other SUVs that eat gas as much as it does, just those vehicles are not American, so they are not a target. Great Vehicle for what it is, not when compared to a Prius. Hummer deserves to live on, and for some, it will forever.

  MPG Isnt As Bad As You Might Think! - 2008 Hummer H2
  By TSamuel - July 9 - 2:35 pm

  I just got my 08 H2 after having an 05 H2 for the last three years. I drive 25 to 30,000 miles per year so comfort, reliablity and safety are my main priorities. The new design is no different to most people on the outside but the inside 08 is far more plush, updated and comfortable. The instrument panel takes some getting use to but it really is gorgeous. The gas mileage is the same from my 05. 12 to 13 MPG. No biggie when you consider Range Rovers or Mercedes AMGs are getting about the same MPG. Its a heck of a fun ride for the family and I. Not a moment goes by that Im not feeling far more safe than the car next to me...thats for sure!

  Like No Other! - 2008 Hummer H2
  By Mike - May 5 - 12:09 pm

  I traded in my 2003 Infiniti G35 for this Hummer. I have owned the Chevy Tahoe and Suburban in th past. I chose the H2 over the Escalade and the Infiniti QX56. The ride is so smooth and comfortable. The gas mileage leaves a lot to be desired, but what do you expect?! Features in the 2008 actually do feel luxury. After driving the G35 which was a great car, I did not want to sacrifice the luxury I had become accustomed to in the G35 not a problem with the 2008 H2.

  Not Very Impressed with this Vehicle - 2008 Hummer H2
  By Jason Methlin - April 22 - 10:34 pm

  Bought my first Hummer two months ago and regret it already. Poor mileage, poor performance and even worse, it has been in the shop more than it has been with me.

  Much Improved - 2008 Hummer H2
  By Bodyimager - April 6 - 5:03 pm

  In 2006, I purchased a new H2. I really grew to like this SUV, using it for the daily commute, long family trips, and for hunting/hauling the ATV. Like all H2 owners, you deal with its shortcomings for the privilege of driving a SUV "Like no other." Then came the 2008 re-do. I saw one at test track in Disneys Epcot, then rented one in Denver. I was amazed at the changes. As a result of being so impressed, I recently purchased a new 2008 lux model, had the dealership add chrome bits from the trade-in, and I love it. I took a chance on the Sedona leather and it looks great. I highly recommend the new model.

  First Hummer - 2008 Hummer H2
  By K McGuire - November 5 - 8:22 pm

  My first Hummer. I choose it over the Escalade. The new interior is quality in design and comfort. Touch screen navigation, XM radio is easy to use. Back-up camera was an important addition. The six speed 6.2L is great for our trips to Vermont.

  Huge Improvement - 2008 Hummer H2
  By DonClaudio - October 4 - 8:43 pm

  I traded my 06 H2 against the 08 model and I really can say that the H2 has finally grown up. The new 6 speed automatic is a perfect match for the new 6.2l engine. Brake feel has improved as well and the steering is more direct now. Fuel economy is improved by 15% compared to the 06 H2.
