Comparison Review

Comfort
The Genesis G70 offers rear passengers about the same space to stretch out as the Mercedes-Benz C-Class with comparable rear head- and legroom in both vehicles. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between the Genesis G70 and the Mercedes-Benz C-Class in the front seats.

Convenience
With the Mercedes-Benz C-Class you will definitely be making less frequent stops at the gas station than with the Genesis G70, 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). When looking only at MSRP, the Genesis G70 will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Mercedes-Benz C-Class.

Dimensions
Since the Genesis G70 is much slimmer than the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. When looking at overall length, the Genesis G70 takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Mercedes-Benz C-Class.

Handling
The Genesis G70 has about the same turning radius as the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, allowing equal maneuverability in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Genesis G70 is somewhat more powerful than the Mercedes-Benz C-Class.

Powertrain
With somewhat higher torque, the engine of the Genesis G70 transmits a bit more power to the wheels than the Mercedes-Benz C-Class.

Utility
In terms of seating you'll be able to fit the same number of people in both the Genesis G70 and the Mercedes-Benz C-Class.
