Dodge Charger vs. Hyundai Genesis Review

Cost
As far as gas mileage, the Hyundai Genesis is a bit better than the Dodge Charger, but not by much. With respect to fuel economy, the Hyundai Genesis and the Dodge Charger don't differ much. In terms of MSRP, the Charger costs substantially less than the Hyundai.

Utility
The Hyundai Genesis and the Dodge Charger can accommodate the same number of passengers.

Convenience
You likely won't have to visit your friendly gas station more often with the Charger than with the Hyundai Genesis, because both offer comparable ranges.

Comfort
Taller drivers will significantly enjoy the extra head room in the Hyundai Genesis's front cabin compared to the Charger. While the rear of the Dodge Charger offers a bit more head- and leg-room than the Hyundai Genesis, there frankly isn't much of a difference.

Dimensions
The Dodge Charger's tank is almost the same size as the Hyundai Genesis's, though the Hyundai Genesis's is somewhat bigger. The Hyundai Genesis and the Dodge compete for the same parking spaces.

Performance
With that kind of horsepower, both the Hyundai Genesis and the Charger are legitimate speedsters.

Handling
With their comparable turning circles, the Hyundai Genesis and the Dodge Charger quite certainly handle approximately the same into and out of tight spots.

Drivetrain
The Hyundai Genesis has a more sizeable engine than the Dodge Charger. Bear in mind that smaller engines typically get better gas mileage, but a smaller engine usually has to work a little harder. Torque is the force that lets you accelerate quickly, and in this respect, the Genesis is considerably more powerful than the Dodge Charger.

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