Comparison Review

Comfort
The Genesis G70 offers a bit more room for passengers in the back seat than the Nissan Altima. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between the Genesis G70 and the Nissan Altima in the front seats.

Convenience
With the Nissan Altima you will definitely be making less frequent stops at the gas station than with the Genesis G70, due to its tank size and fuel economy.

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). The Genesis G70 will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Nissan Altima, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
The Genesis G70 is about the same width as the Nissan Altima. The Genesis G70 is slightly shorter than the Nissan Altima, which may make it easier to park.

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

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Genesis G70 has a much more powerful engine than the Nissan Altima. However, something you should consider is that higher horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums.

Due to its much higher torque, the engine of the Genesis G70 does a much better job of transmitting power to the wheels than the Nissan Altima.
