The Genesis GV80 offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Land Rover Discovery, with comparable head- and legroom. The Genesis GV80 will be popular with taller drivers and passengers in the front seat, due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Land Rover Discovery.
