Comparison Review

Convenience
The Genesis GV80 requires fewer stops at the gas station than the Porsche Macan, 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 Porsche Macan.

Dimensions
Since the Genesis GV80 is much wider than the Porsche Macan, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the Genesis GV80, which is slightly longer than the Porsche Macan.

Handling
The Genesis GV80 has the same turning radius as the Porsche Macan, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When considering towing capacity, the Genesis GV80 is clearly the choice over the Porsche Macan for pulling heavy loads. When it comes to horsepower, the Genesis GV80 has a lot less horsepower than the Porsche Macan.

Powertrain
With its lower torque engine, the Genesis GV80 doesn't do as good a job transmitting power to its wheels as the Porsche Macan.

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