Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the GMC Yukon than in the Genesis GV80, due to its greater head- and legroom. The GMC Yukon will be a hit with tall drivers and their front seat passengers, since it has greater front head- and legroom than the Genesis GV80.

Convenience
The Genesis GV80 requires fewer stops at the gas station than the GMC Yukon, 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 GMC Yukon.

Dimensions

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

Powertrain
