Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Lexus GX 550 than in the Genesis GV80, due to its greater head- and legroom. The Genesis GV80 offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Lexus GX 550, making it a little more comfortable for the driver and front passenger.

Convenience
The Genesis GV80 requires fewer stops at the gas station than the Lexus GX 550, 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). When looking only at MSRP, the Genesis GV80 will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Lexus GX 550.

Dimensions
The Genesis GV80 is a little narrower than the Lexus GX 550, so you'll have an easier time getting in and out of the car in a tight parking spot. When looking at overall length, the Genesis GV80 takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Lexus GX 550.

Performance
In terms of towing capacity, the Lexus GX 550 is clearly the choice over the Genesis GV80 for pulling heavy loads. The Genesis GV80 has a little less horsepower than the Lexus GX 550.

Powertrain
The Genesis GV80 has much lower torque than the Lexus GX 550, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Genesis GV80 and the Lexus GX 550.
