Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the back seat will feel a little more squished in the BMW 228 Gran Coupe than in the Genesis G70, due to the BMW 228 Gran Coupe's smaller rear head- and legroom. Offering just a little more front head- and legroom than the BMW 228 Gran Coupe, drivers may find the Genesis G70 a little roomier and somewhat more comfortable.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the BMW 228 Gran Coupe as you will with the Genesis G70, as they get the same number of miles per tank of gas.

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 BMW 228 Gran Coupe will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Genesis G70.

Dimensions
Since the BMW 228 Gran Coupe is much slimmer than the Genesis G70, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. The BMW 228 Gran Coupe is slightly shorter than the Genesis G70, which may make it easier to park.

Handling
The BMW 228 Gran Coupe has about the same turning radius as the Genesis G70, allowing equal maneuverability in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the BMW 228 Gran Coupe is significantly less powerful than the Genesis G70. The good news is that, reportedly, cars with lower horsepower engines often have lower insurance premiums.

Powertrain
With its lower torque, the BMW 228 Gran Coupe doesn't do as good a job transmitting power to its wheels as the Genesis G70.

Utility
In terms of seating you'll be able to fit the same number of people in both the BMW 228 Gran Coupe and the Genesis G70.
