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 G80 than the Mercedes-Benz C-Class. Offering just a little more front head- and legroom than the Genesis G80, drivers may find the Mercedes-Benz C-Class a little roomier and somewhat more comfortable.

Convenience
With the Mercedes-Benz C-Class you will definitely be making less frequent stops at the gas station than with the Genesis G80, 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 G80 will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
The Genesis G80 is a little wider than the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, so getting in and out of the car in a crowded parking lot may be a little more of a squeeze. If you go with the Genesis G80, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Mercedes-Benz C-Class.

Handling
The Genesis G80 has about the same turning radius as the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, allowing equal maneuverability in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Genesis G80 is somewhat more powerful than the Mercedes-Benz C-Class.

Powertrain
With somewhat higher torque, the engine of the Genesis G80 transmits a bit more power to the wheels than the Mercedes-Benz C-Class.

Utility
In terms of seating you'll be able to fit the same number of people in both the Genesis G80 and the Mercedes-Benz C-Class.
