The Genesis GV70 offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Mercedes-Benz GLA 250, with comparable head- and legroom. The Genesis GV70 offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Mercedes-Benz GLA 250, making it a little more comfortable for the driver and front passenger.

Convenience

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 GV70 is somewhat more expensive than the Mercedes-Benz GLA 250.

Dimensions
Since the Genesis GV70 is much wider than the Mercedes-Benz GLA 250, 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 Mercedes-Benz GLA 250.

Handling
The Genesis GV70 has the same turning radius as the Mercedes-Benz GLA 250, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.

Performance
