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 Nissan Versa. The Nissan Versa will be a favorite with taller drivers due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Genesis G80.

Convenience
The Genesis G80 will require fewer stops at the gas station than the Nissan Versa, making it more convenient to drive.

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 Nissan Versa, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Genesis G80 is much wider than the Nissan Versa, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. 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 Nissan Versa.

Handling
The Genesis G80 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 G80 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 G80 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 G80 and the Nissan Versa.
