Despite its truck-construction, the H2 provides a comfortable on-road and off-road ride. "H2's ride doesn't beat you up," says Motor Trend, and Motor Week says, "In terms of comfort, it's right on par with the GMC Yukon Denali."

The reason the H2 has such a surprisingly comfortable ride for a heavy, off-road vehicle is its suspension. "Progressive-rate rear coil springs and high-pressure gas monotube shocks take much of the credit here," says Motor Trend. The standard suspension in the front is an independent setup with torsion bars, 46-mm monotube gas-charged shocks and a 36-mm stabilizer bar. Standard rear suspension is a five-link variable-rate coil spring setup with 46-mm monotube gas-charged shocks and a 30-mm stabilizer bar. Though the standard suspension shares many components with GM trucks, Edmunds notes that "key suspension components were beefed up to handle the additional demands of severe off-road duty, while a special frame design in front isolates the front axle for less vibration and noise in the cabin."
