The main reason why Jimny has crazy Off the line acceleration because they are designed to tow heavy vehicles or hill-climbing on steep elevation so they can pull them out easily. I owned my 1994 Jimny and 1998 Carry so i know exactly how they worked. They dont have amazing 0-60 like they only can do about 15 seconds to reach that BUT in 0-30 they can do just in under 4 seconds which bring the main point of car itself.
Weight is the #1 reason for off the line acceleration. That's why a human runner can outrun a car for the first few meters. 130 Nm seens quite weak for towing and hillclimbing though. I know you don't need much hp for towing, but enough Newtonmeters are essential. 🤔
Great features and presentation and always by Matt. I've been thinking, who does Matt remind me of. Firstly I thought it was a lad from school, but then tonight, I watched Rising Damp.... Rigsby!!!!😂
The power window trick - operating all windows with one button - is really cool and probably unique, for closed body vehicles. But every convertible has the same, at least all the ones I owned the last 15 years.
@@rian0xFFF That is incorrect. Just as an example, the 4.5l V8 in the Ferrari 458 has 562HP, the 5l V8 in the Ford Mustang Darkhorse has 500HP. European V8s don't have the turbos for power, but for extra torque, way lower fuel consumption and lower emmissions compared to the US counterparts.
Well as a person from the US that Hummer is having an issue or he is not pushing the gas all the way down. Here they do the 1/4 mile in 16.1 sec (dry) and top out at around 100 mph. That being said brake boosted start for the 16.1.
12:56 - Can someone please tell him that ABS, does help with the 'Power' of the brakes & their performance, ABS stops them from locking up *IF* the brakes are powerful enough to lock a wheel . . . . . this isn't even powerful enough to scrub off speed let alone lock a wheel . . . . so blaming the ABS is nothing to do with it Those brakes need an overhaul at a dealers, and maybe new pads, discs & brake fluid bleed
This H2 and the other one featured in an off road episode both have : 6 liter engine that makes 345hp with 4 gears tranny. Not 400hp 6.2L with 6 gears. GET UR FACTS STRIGHT MATT
If you want a true outdoors car for any terrain: Take the Jimny If you want to show off (or you are military personel and need a vehicle that can be armored): Take the Hummer. Yet none of those belong on the dragstrip😅
@@aadityaarora6389 Only real SUVs, like back in the day, with the very tall and strong suspensions and giant tires. Modern SUVs are very useless, they are a tall chasis, but low-ish to the ground, the hummer and maybe the bronco are the closest to a proper SUV.
ABS does not make the vehicle brake better - it simply prevents the wheels from locking up under heavy braking, thus allowing you to still be able to steer. You should *technically* be able to brake in a shorter distance without ABS modulation provided you don't lock up...
1st sentence, you're correct, ABS prevents locking the wheels onto the surface, so you still can steer away from obstacles, and also distribute between front and rear wheels.that's all. Usually longer breaking distance. (Hummer driver has no idea what he's talking about, and a danger on the road as he finds this breaking distance ok) 2nd sentence 1st part correct. is lock or no lock shorter ?: it depends on resistance (break pads/discs vs tires/roadsurface): sometimes (most times ?) locking up the wheels will give you shorter breaking distance !
Theoretically yes, if you manage to not lock up your wheels, braking distance could be shorter, BUT most people panic and press the brake pedal even harder when wheels lock up and car starts to skid, which lovers the braking force thus giving the feeling of the brakes are failing, which explains why people depress the brake pedal even harder. So, in most cases ABS actuated braking will be shorter than ABS not actuated braking, Unless you are a professional racing driver 😊
@1wasinAlpha @ugge101 in NO case ever does braking distance get shorter when wheels lock up! It increases by almost 50%! I could experience that for myself many times over my years of go-karting and you can try that for yourself on a track, or with your car ona lonely road if your car allows turning off the ABS. Please inform yourself and srop spreading this dangerous misconception! Also, ABS regulates brake pressure to every wheel individually as fast the physical parts can possibly move, no human can ever outperform this precision, as evidenced by the favt that Formula 1 braking distances were the shortest they've ever been during the seasons when ABS was used.
Hummer specs are WRONG WRONG! That is an earlier 6.0L H2 ( 4 Speed Transmission) not the later 6.2L model with the 6 Speed. The 6.2L H2 was 2008 and 2009 only. The 6.0L was only 325hp and 365tq and way slower with the 4 speed. C'mon guys!
I wouldn't be making any fuss over it being a 6 litre that puts out barely over 300hp. Those are 2L 4cyl numbers. Same with the 6.2L and it's meagre 400hp. Sure 400hp is nothing to snuff at, but still, there are stock 2L 4cyl out there that will put out 375.
@@fermitupoupon1754 There are way more factors to consider than a peak HP number between a 2L 4cyl and a 6L V8. For starters the 4cyl requires a turbo to achieve those numbers so it's not a fair comparison. If you add a turbo to 6L LS v8 you'd make at the very least 500+ hp. Then you also have the difference in torque numbers and more importantly, the power curve. Higher displacement engines will produce way more torque at low rpm's than a 4cyl and carry that high torque pretty linearly through the entire rev range. For comparison the 6.0 putting out 300hp comes off of idle making 300 lb ft of torque immediately and max of 365 at peak. The 300hp 2L will barely make 100lb ft off idle and slowly climb up to less torque at max than the 6.0 started with. Meaning even though they have the same peak hp the 6.0 is producing way more power overall. I have encountered this irl as well. My coworker thought the same years ago. He had an early 2000s 3.0 v6 manual Accord coupe and I had a 2004 jeep grand cherokee laredo 4x4 with the 4.0 inline 6cyl. After talking about our cars and telling him the jeep is quicker than you'd think, he said I wouldn't stand a chance in a race against his accord. We looked up the specs and the accord had 230hp and the jeep has 195hp plus the jeep weighed like 800 lbs more. So I agreed he would probably be faster and we left it there. But we eventually had an impromptu race leaving work one day at the same time. He took off squealing tires in front of me so I took off after him and whipped around in front of him at the u turn a few hundred yards down the highway. So we get a clearing and we take off and I floor it. He stays right on my ass the whole time. I let off at 110 and we go our separate ways. The next day I asked him why he didn't try and pass me. He said he couldn't and had it floored the whole time.
The Hummer stats are all wrong. It's a 6.0L V8, not a 6.2L. It's a 4 speed auto, not a 6 speed. That is, unless someone swapped out the OEM engine & trans.
He did hit the brakes in the UK, but it stopped in the USA.

Brakes were already shot so it definitely is not that bad
that tank/truck weight almost 3 tones empty, need to be six wheeled not four and use air brake
The exhaust on the hummer😂😂😂 it looks ready bad!!
I love to see Mat's growth. From buying a Jimny to daily driving an RS7 ♥
9:14 this is why you need to shift manually even in a automatic. You can put the car in 1st 2nd and 3rd for a reason. "Drive" is for the weak.
automatics are for the weak
I can't believe that a "car guy" wouldn't know that he could manually shift his automatic transmission. I do it almost daily in my 4.0 jeep wj.
There is no reason that stopping distance should be legal
Actually the jimny did a great job 👏
I didn’t expect that
I love the Jimny design so much.
you have to switch on your headlights in some Japanese brands to get the car washers to work .
1:48 This thing sounds better than the 911 turbo s 😂😐..
You wonder why I like offroaders....
Yeah, but it's modified, and modified 911 Turbo S sounds also very very good
So true 😅😅😅😂😂😂😂
Father vs son 😂
That’s an insult towards the Jimny!
@@MigV40Very true, but to be fair. When they side by side, the Hummer made the the Jimny look like a Barbie Jeep. 😂
Typical chapri Indian comment😂
The main reason why Jimny has crazy Off the line acceleration because they are designed to tow heavy vehicles or hill-climbing on steep elevation so they can pull them out easily. I owned my 1994 Jimny and 1998 Carry so i know exactly how they worked.
They dont have amazing 0-60 like they only can do about 15 seconds to reach that BUT in 0-30 they can do just in under 4 seconds which bring the main point of car itself.
Weight is the #1 reason for off the line acceleration. That's why a human runner can outrun a car for the first few meters.
130 Nm seens quite weak for towing and hillclimbing though. I know you don't need much hp for towing, but enough Newtonmeters are essential. 🤔
Great features and presentation and always by Matt. I've been thinking, who does Matt remind me of. Firstly I thought it was a lad from school, but then tonight, I watched Rising Damp.... Rigsby!!!!😂
10:16 why are you running 🤣🤣
3:25 probably only when the lights are on, same on my old Nissan
He is to stupid and unprofessional to know that basic thing.
1, 5 little Jinmi superb
After watching too many Carwow videos, seeing these two cars cross the finish line, feels like watching them in slow-mo 😅
The power window trick - operating all windows with one button - is really cool and probably unique, for closed body vehicles. But every convertible has the same, at least all the ones I owned the last 15 years.
Hummer is a V8 but its an American V8 so very underpowered.... Truest words I've heard in a long time lol...
Well it's an old american V8. Modern american V8s are just fine.
@@senzelian Not against their European counterparts
@blazzz13 European V8 needs turbos to get the same power as naturally aspirated V8 Americans
@@rian0xFFF lmao, your off your trolley mate 🤣🤣 in Europe we prefere a V10 or V12...
@@rian0xFFF That is incorrect. Just as an example, the 4.5l V8 in the Ferrari 458 has 562HP, the 5l V8 in the Ford Mustang Darkhorse has 500HP. European V8s don't have the turbos for power, but for extra torque, way lower fuel consumption and lower emmissions compared to the US counterparts.
Well as a person from the US that Hummer is having an issue or he is not pushing the gas all the way down. Here they do the 1/4 mile in 16.1 sec (dry) and top out at around 100 mph. That being said brake boosted start for the 16.1.
Hummers are for a "special kind of men". Don't want to call them idiots, but...
I like the Jimmy more.
Carwow, don’t ever change, pls.
One button all windows - actually loved that on the SAAB 9-3! My Peugeot 307 could do that with the remote. Don't most cars have this, nowadays?
Now make a drag race between a G63 and that Hummer 😎
but not a G63 cus itll win too easy it should be the lowest spec G instead
That Hummer is going to kill someone if they don't fix those brakes.
12:56 - Can someone please tell him that ABS, does help with the 'Power' of the brakes & their performance, ABS stops them from locking up *IF* the brakes are powerful enough to lock a wheel . . . . . this isn't even powerful enough to scrub off speed let alone lock a wheel . . . . so blaming the ABS is nothing to do with it
Those brakes need an overhaul at a dealers, and maybe new pads, discs & brake fluid bleed
There have been a lot of ridiculous races on Carwow and I think this one takes the cake, and I am here for it 😂
"You classing this as a successful brake test....?"🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hummer was released at the wrong times 😢 3 years ago and it would have a Hellcat engine
3 years ago they brought it back as an EV
This H2 and the other one featured in an off road episode both have : 6 liter engine that makes 345hp with 4 gears tranny. Not 400hp 6.2L with 6 gears.
GET UR FACTS STRIGHT MATT
This irked me on the other tests as well. My brother in law has the 6.2 with the 6 speed and for its size it’s quite quick
Hummer is giving me mad NFS Underground 2 vibes! Sounds amazing ❤
The brake test is so hilarious 😂😂😂😂😂😂
If you want a true outdoors car for any terrain: Take the Jimny
If you want to show off (or you are military personel and need a vehicle that can be armored): Take the Hummer.
Yet none of those belong on the dragstrip😅
If these two had a kid we'd have an actually practical vehicle that looks cool too ... And we could call it either Humny or Jimmer.
SUV is a Super Useless Vehicle regardless.
@@rattlehead999 how is it useless? Theres parts of the world where only SUVs are feasible and you need AWD SUVs to even go from one place to another
@@aadityaarora6389 Wy SUVS? A AWD Station Wagon would be plenty and also better on fuel
@@aadityaarora6389 Only real SUVs, like back in the day, with the very tall and strong suspensions and giant tires.
Modern SUVs are very useless, they are a tall chasis, but low-ish to the ground, the hummer and maybe the bronco are the closest to a proper SUV.
It exists and its called Jeep Wrangler😂
ABS does not make the vehicle brake better - it simply prevents the wheels from locking up under heavy braking, thus allowing you to still be able to steer. You should *technically* be able to brake in a shorter distance without ABS modulation provided you don't lock up...
1st sentence, you're correct, ABS prevents locking the wheels onto the surface, so you still can steer away from obstacles, and also distribute between front and rear wheels.that's all. Usually longer breaking distance. (Hummer driver has no idea what he's talking about, and a danger on the road as he finds this breaking distance ok)
2nd sentence 1st part correct. is lock or no lock shorter ?: it depends on resistance (break pads/discs vs tires/roadsurface): sometimes (most times ?) locking up the wheels will give you shorter breaking distance !
@@ugge101 Too many variables to say "most times". We can agree on sometimes, though. 🙂
Theoretically yes, if you manage to not lock up your wheels, braking distance could be shorter, BUT most people panic and press the brake pedal even harder when wheels lock up and car starts to skid, which lovers the braking force thus giving the feeling of the brakes are failing, which explains why people depress the brake pedal even harder. So, in most cases ABS actuated braking will be shorter than ABS not actuated braking, Unless you are a professional racing driver 😊
@@1wasinAlpha most times when wheels lock up, the breaking distance is shorter than when not.
@1wasinAlpha @ugge101 in NO case ever does braking distance get shorter when wheels lock up! It increases by almost 50%! I could experience that for myself many times over my years of go-karting and you can try that for yourself on a track, or with your car ona lonely road if your car allows turning off the ABS. Please inform yourself and srop spreading this dangerous misconception!
Also, ABS regulates brake pressure to every wheel individually as fast the physical parts can possibly move, no human can ever outperform this precision, as evidenced by the favt that Formula 1 braking distances were the shortest they've ever been during the seasons when ABS was used.
DAVID and GOLOITH a legendary battle😂😂
Ein Video mit Hasan Blitz wäre echt cool! 🎥🏎 Den mal in Action zu sehen, wäre der Hammer - der Typ hat's richtig drauf!
Hummer specs are WRONG WRONG! That is an earlier 6.0L H2 ( 4 Speed Transmission) not the later 6.2L model with the 6 Speed. The 6.2L H2 was 2008 and 2009 only. The 6.0L was only 325hp and 365tq and way slower with the 4 speed. C'mon guys!
I wouldn't be making any fuss over it being a 6 litre that puts out barely over 300hp. Those are 2L 4cyl numbers. Same with the 6.2L and it's meagre 400hp. Sure 400hp is nothing to snuff at, but still, there are stock 2L 4cyl out there that will put out 375.
@@fermitupoupon1754 There are way more factors to consider than a peak HP number between a 2L 4cyl and a 6L V8. For starters the 4cyl requires a turbo to achieve those numbers so it's not a fair comparison. If you add a turbo to 6L LS v8 you'd make at the very least 500+ hp.
Then you also have the difference in torque numbers and more importantly, the power curve. Higher displacement engines will produce way more torque at low rpm's than a 4cyl and carry that high torque pretty linearly through the entire rev range.
For comparison the 6.0 putting out 300hp comes off of idle making 300 lb ft of torque immediately and max of 365 at peak. The 300hp 2L will barely make 100lb ft off idle and slowly climb up to less torque at max than the 6.0 started with. Meaning even though they have the same peak hp the 6.0 is producing way more power overall.
I have encountered this irl as well. My coworker thought the same years ago. He had an early 2000s 3.0 v6 manual Accord coupe and I had a 2004 jeep grand cherokee laredo 4x4 with the 4.0 inline 6cyl. After talking about our cars and telling him the jeep is quicker than you'd think, he said I wouldn't stand a chance in a race against his accord. We looked up the specs and the accord had 230hp and the jeep has 195hp plus the jeep weighed like 800 lbs more. So I agreed he would probably be faster and we left it there.
But we eventually had an impromptu race leaving work one day at the same time. He took off squealing tires in front of me so I took off after him and whipped around in front of him at the u turn a few hundred yards down the highway. So we get a clearing and we take off and I floor it. He stays right on my ass the whole time. I let off at 110 and we go our separate ways. The next day I asked him why he didn't try and pass me. He said he couldn't and had it floored the whole time.
The Hummer stats are all wrong. It's a 6.0L V8, not a 6.2L. It's a 4 speed auto, not a 6 speed. That is, unless someone swapped out the OEM engine & trans.
Nah its not swapped, you can tell from the engine view. They just got it all wrong.
It’s even 5.8L
It depends on the year of the Hummer. For the 2008 mode year, the H2 got a powertrain update, with a 6.2L V8 and 6-speed auto.
@@hakeemsd70m as he said in that rolling start race, that the car shifted up to fourth at 75mph, i guess that was the final gear available
