Comparison Review

Comfort
Due to its greater rear head- and legroom, backseat passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Genesis G80 than the Hyundai Elantra HEV. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between the Genesis G80 and the Hyundai Elantra HEV in the front seats.

Convenience
With the Hyundai Elantra HEV you will definitely be making less frequent stops at the gas station than with the Genesis G80, due to its tank size and fuel economy.

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 G80 will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Hyundai Elantra HEV, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Genesis G80 is much wider than the Hyundai Elantra HEV, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. If you go with the Genesis G80, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Hyundai Elantra HEV.

Handling
The Genesis G80 has a larger turning radius than the Hyundai Elantra HEV, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Genesis G80 has a much more powerful engine than the Hyundai Elantra HEV. However, something you should consider is that higher horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the engine of the Genesis G80 does a much better job of transmitting power to the wheels than the Hyundai Elantra HEV.

Utility
In terms of seating you'll be able to fit the same number of people in both the Genesis G80 and the Hyundai Elantra HEV.
