Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Mercedes-Benz GLE 450 than in the Genesis GV80, due to its greater head- and legroom. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the Genesis GV80 and the Mercedes-Benz GLE 450.

Convenience
With the Mercedes-Benz GLE 450, you will definitely be making fewer stops at the gas station than with the Genesis GV80, due to its tank size and fuel economy.

Cost
