Comparison Review

Comfort
Due to its greater rear head- and legroom, backseat passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Genesis G80 than the Lexus IS 350. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between the Genesis G80 and the Lexus IS 350 in the front seats.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Genesis G80 as you will with the Lexus IS 350, 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). The Genesis G80 is somewhat more expensive than the Lexus IS 350.

Dimensions
Since the Genesis G80 is much wider than the Lexus IS 350, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. If you go with the Genesis G80, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Lexus IS 350.

Handling
The Genesis G80 has a significantly larger turning radius than the Lexus IS 350, making it much more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
The Genesis G80 has less horsepower than the Lexus IS 350, so it will probably be somewhat slower.

Powertrain
With somewhat higher torque, the engine of the Genesis G80 transmits a bit more power to the wheels than the Lexus IS 350.

Utility
In terms of seating you'll be able to fit the same number of people in both the Genesis G80 and the Lexus IS 350.
