Toyota Prado Vs Hummer H3

I put this page up so that you can compare the Toyota Prado to the Hummer H3.

The Hummer H3 is the smallest Hummer you can get at the time of this writeup. Sure it looks like the original military version and that I guess is the main selling point!

The Hummer is one of the less compared models for some reason but when I tried one it is clear that you should at least have a good look. If there is one major problem is that the Hummer's interior feels small and cramped and the quality of materials could be much much better.  If you are bigger in size you may also find the door openings especially the rear tight.

Specification comparison below!

Although the Hummer does look big in pictures - in reality it's not! Only a 5 seater. Nevertheless if it had better engine options I could live with owning one of these - maybe..

Note that specifications will change according to the trim models available and additional or less accessories. You should check the official Hummer website for your country for the most up to date information.
