Comparison Review

Comfort
The Genesis GV70 offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Volkswagen ID.4, with comparable head- and legroom. The Volkswagen ID.4 offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Genesis GV70, offering the driver and front passenger a bit more room and comfort.

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 GV70 will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Volkswagen ID.4.

Dimensions
Since the Genesis GV70 is much wider than the Volkswagen ID.4, 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 GV70, which is slightly longer than the Volkswagen ID.4.

Handling
The Genesis GV70 has a significantly larger turning radius than the Volkswagen ID.4, making it much more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When considering towing capacity, the Genesis GV70 is clearly the choice over the Volkswagen ID.4 for pulling heavy loads. When it comes to horsepower, the Genesis GV70 greatly out-muscles the Volkswagen ID.4.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Genesis GV70 does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Volkswagen ID.4.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Genesis GV70 and the Volkswagen ID.4. The Genesis GV70 has less cargo space than the Volkswagen ID.4, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
