Comparison Review

Comfort
Due to its greater rear head- and legroom, backseat passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Genesis G70 than the Nissan Versa. Offering just a little more front head- and legroom than the Genesis G70, drivers may find the Nissan Versa a little roomier and somewhat more comfortable.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Genesis G70 as you will with the Nissan Versa, as they get the same number of miles per tank of gas.

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 Versa, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Genesis G70 is much wider than the Nissan Versa, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the Genesis G70, which is slightly longer than the Nissan Versa.

Handling
The Genesis G70 has a larger turning radius than the Nissan Versa, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

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

Powertrain
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 Versa.

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