Dodge Challenger vs. Hyundai Genesis Coupe Review

Utility
The Dodge Challenger will quite certainly prove more practical than the Hyundai Genesis Coupe for those of you with frequent kid-cargo.

Performance
With that kind of horsepower, both the Dodge and the Hyundai Genesis Coupe are true speedsters.

Dimensions
The Genesis Coupe's tank is almost the same size as the Dodge Challenger's, though the Dodge Challenger's is slightly larger. The Hyundai Genesis Coupe and the Dodge Challenger compete for the same parking spaces.

Convenience
You'll most definitely take the Hyundai for a fill-up almost as often as the Dodge Challenger.

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. It costs about the same to get the Dodge Challenger to the dealership as the Hyundai Genesis Coupe. There isn't much of a difference in gas mileage here, but if you must know, the Hyundai Genesis Coupe is a tad more economical than the Dodge Challenger. When it comes to fuel economy, the Hyundai Genesis Coupe and the Dodge Challenger don't differ much. As far as MSRP, the Hyundai costs considerably less than the Dodge Challenger.

Handling
With its tighter turning radius, the Dodge Challenger is quite certainly more maneuverable than the Hyundai Genesis Coupe, something to consider if you do a lot of city driving; on the other hand, bear in mind that a vehicle with a tight turning circle may feel a bit twitchy on the highway.

Drivetrain
The Dodge Challenger has a larger engine than the Hyundai Genesis Coupe. Bear in mind that smaller engines are often cheaper to fix, but smaller engines can be stressed more. The Hyundai Genesis Coupe could learn a lesson or two from the Dodge Challenger regarding torque.

Comfort
While the front cabin in the Dodge offers a bit more head room than the Hyundai, there really isn't much of a difference. The Challenger provides more head- and leg-room to your passengers than the Hyundai Genesis Coupe does.

Warranty
The basic after-sale protection that comes with the Dodge isn't quite as generous as the Genesis Coupe's.
