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 G90 than the Mercedes-Benz C-Class. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between the Genesis G90 and the Mercedes-Benz C-Class in the front seats.

Convenience
With the Mercedes-Benz C-Class you will definitely be making less frequent stops at the gas station than with the Genesis G90, 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 G90 will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Genesis G90 is much wider than the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. If you go with the Genesis G90, 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 G90 has a larger turning radius than the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Genesis G90 has a much more powerful engine than the Mercedes-Benz C-Class. However, something you should consider is that higher horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums.

Powertrain
With somewhat higher torque, the engine of the Genesis G90 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 G90 and the Mercedes-Benz C-Class.
