Comparison Review

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
The Mercedes-Benz GLE 450 requires fewer stops at the gas station than the Genesis GV80, 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 Mercedes-Benz GLE 450.

Dimensions
The Genesis GV80 is a little wider than the Mercedes-Benz GLE 450, so getting in and out of the car in a crowded parking lot may be a little more of a squeeze. When looking at overall length, the Genesis GV80 takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Mercedes-Benz GLE 450.

Performance
In terms of towing capacity, the Mercedes-Benz GLE 450 is clearly the choice over the Genesis GV80 for pulling heavy loads. When it comes to horsepower, the Genesis GV80 has a lot less horsepower than the Mercedes-Benz GLE 450.

Powertrain
With its lower torque engine, the Genesis GV80 doesn't do as good a job transmitting power to its wheels as the Mercedes-Benz GLE 450.

Utility
The Genesis GV80 has less seating than the Mercedes-Benz GLE 450, making the Mercedes-Benz GLE 450 the better choice, if you need to chauffeur many passengers.
