Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the back seat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Genesis G80 than the Genesis G70, due to its greater head- and legroom. Offering just a little more front head- and legroom than the Genesis G70, drivers may find the Genesis G80 a little roomier and somewhat more comfortable.

Convenience
The Genesis G80 requires fewer visits to the gas station than the Genesis G70, making it more convenient to drive.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). Based on MSRP, the Genesis G70 is clearly a better financial choice over the Genesis G80.

Dimensions
Since the Genesis G70 is much slimmer than the Genesis G80, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. If you go with the Genesis G70, you'll have a much easier time finding a large enough space to park than you will with the Genesis G80.

Handling
The Genesis G70 has about the same turning radius as the Genesis G80, allowing equal maneuverability in and out of tight spots.

Performance
The Genesis G70 has less horsepower than the Genesis G80, so it will probably be somewhat slower.

Powertrain
With its lower torque, the Genesis G70 doesn't do as good a job transmitting power to its wheels as the Genesis G80.

Utility
In terms of seating you'll be able to fit the same number of people in both the Genesis G70 and the Genesis G80.
