Anaheim GEnesis Shoppers Compare
The 2020 Genesis G70 vs 2020 Genesis G80

The 2020 Genesis G70 is a compact luxury sports sedan that has quickly made a name for itself, proving to be a formidable rival for the likes of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class and the BMW 3 Series. Anaheim Genesis shoppers appreciate the G70’s incredible driving dynamics, ample safety technology equipment, and long list of features that come standard. The Genesis G70 recently won the North American Car of the Year Award.

 

The 2020 Genesis G80 is the brand’s midsize luxury sedan. Slotting between the G70 and G90, the G80 provides an enjoyable ride that will keep Anaheim Genesis commuters very comfortable while driving to and from the office. It offers buyers all the features of rival vehicles, with a price tag that’s a lot less costly.

 

We’ll compare these two sedans and explain their differences, so you can determine which one is right for you.
