Suzuki Jimny Takes on Hummer H2 in Drag Race

Introduction

In a surprising matchup, a modern Suzuki Jimny goes head-to-head with an early 2000s Hummer H2 in a drag race video by Carwow. While the Jimny is known for its versatility, it’s not typically associated with quick acceleration. However, this race proves to be full of surprises.

The Competitors

The Suzuki Jimny is a 2020 model with a 1.5-liter naturally-aspirated inline four engine that produces 101 horsepower. On the other hand, the Hummer H2 is a two-decade-old SUV with a V8 engine. While the exact horsepower of the H2 is debated, it is estimated to be around 325 horsepower.

The Race

During the drag race, the Jimny initially takes the lead due to its manual transmission and the H2 driver’s slow reaction time. However, the Hummer quickly catches up and completes the quarter mile in 18.8 seconds, slightly faster than the Jimny’s 19.1 seconds.

The Braking Test

One of the most surprising aspects of the race is the poor performance of the Hummer’s brakes. In a high-speed braking test, the Jimny outperforms the H2 significantly. The H2 takes 80 meters longer than the Jimny to stop from 60 mph, highlighting serious brake issues.

Conclusion

Despite its lack of acceleration, the Suzuki Jimny puts up a good fight against the Hummer H2 in this drag race. The race also reveals the H2’s braking problems, emphasizing the importance of well-functioning brakes. Watch the video to see the full race and the unexpected twists that occur.
