Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Genesis GV80 than in the Mazda CX-30. 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 Mazda CX-30.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Genesis GV80 greatly out-muscles the Mazda CX-30.
