Comparison Review

Comfort
The Genesis G80 offers rear passengers about the same space to stretch out as the Lexus ES 300h with comparable rear head- and legroom in both vehicles. The Genesis G80 will be a favorite with taller drivers due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Lexus ES 300h.

The Lexus ES 300h requires fewer visits to the gas station than the Genesis G80, making it more convenient to drive.

Cost
