Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Volkswagen Taos than in the Genesis GV70, due to its greater head- and legroom.
The Volkswagen Taos 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.
Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Genesis GV70 as you will with the Volkswagen Taos, as they are both able to travel similar distances on a 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 GV70 will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Volkswagen Taos, which has a much lower MSRP.
Dimensions
Since the Genesis GV70 is much wider than the Volkswagen Taos, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging.
If you go with the Genesis GV70, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Volkswagen Taos.
Handling
The Genesis GV70 has the same turning radius as the Volkswagen Taos, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.
Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Genesis GV70 greatly out-muscles the Volkswagen Taos.
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 Taos.
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 Taos.
The Genesis GV70 has less cargo space than the Volkswagen Taos, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
