Comparison Review

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

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Acura TLX as you will with the Genesis G80, 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). Based on MSRP, the Acura TLX is clearly a better financial choice over the Genesis G80.

Dimensions
The Acura TLX is about the same width as the Genesis G80. When looking at overall length, the Acura TLX takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Genesis G80.

Handling
The Acura TLX has a larger turning radius than the Genesis G80, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

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

Powertrain
With its lower torque, the Acura TLX 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 Acura TLX and the Genesis G80.
