Comparison Review

Comfort
The Genesis GV80 offers a bit more room for passengers in the back seat than the Lexus RX 500h. The Genesis GV80 will be popular with taller drivers and passengers in the front seat, due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Lexus RX 500h.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Genesis GV80 as you will with the Lexus RX 500h, 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 GV80 is somewhat more expensive than the Lexus RX 500h.

Dimensions
Since the Genesis GV80 is much wider than the Lexus RX 500h, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. When looking at overall length, the Genesis GV80 takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Lexus RX 500h.

Handling
The Genesis GV80 has the same turning radius as the Lexus RX 500h, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.

Performance
