Lexus ES 350 vs. Hyundai Genesis Review

Utility
The Lexus ES 350 and the Hyundai can accommodate the same number of passengers.

Performance
With respect to horsepower, the Genesis packs quite a punch and will knock the Lexus down a few rungs. However, note that high horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums.

Dimensions
The Lexus ES 350's tank is approximately the same size as the Hyundai's, though the Genesis's is a bit bigger. The Lexus ES 350 and the Hyundai Genesis compete for the same parking spaces. The Lexus ES 350's shorter wheelbase will give a more agile feel in daily traffic. On the flip side, the Hyundai Genesis is likely to have a smoother, more stable ride.

Convenience
You'll quite certainly take the ES 350 for a fill-up approximately as often as the Hyundai Genesis.

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. It costs almost the same to get the Hyundai to the dealership as the Lexus. There really isn't much of a difference in gas mileage here, but if you must know, the Lexus ES 350 is slightly more economical than the Hyundai. The Hyundai Genesis won't tax your gasoline budget considerably more than the ES 350 will. When it comes to MSRP, the Lexus ES 350 doesn't cost much less than the Hyundai Genesis.

Handling
With their comparable turning radii, the Hyundai Genesis and the Lexus most certainly handle almost the same into and out of tight spots.

Drivetrain
The Lexus ES 350 and the Hyundai Genesis have similar-sized engines, with a slight advantage to the Hyundai Genesis.

Comfort
Taller drivers will substantially enjoy the extra head room in the Hyundai Genesis's front cabin compared to the ES 350. The Hyundai Genesis offers more head- and leg-room to your passengers than the Lexus ES 350 does.

Warranty
The basic after-sale protection that comes with the Lexus ES 350 isn't quite as generous as the Hyundai Genesis's.
