Since the Genesis GV70 is much wider than the Kia Seltos, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging.
If you go with the Genesis GV70, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Kia Seltos.
Handling
The Genesis GV70 has a larger turning radius than the Kia Seltos, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.
Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Genesis GV70 greatly out-muscles the Kia Seltos.
Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Genesis GV70 does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Kia Seltos.
Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Genesis GV70 and the Kia Seltos.
The Genesis GV70 has less cargo space than the Kia Seltos, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
