Every day is a great day when you get to drive the Genesis G70 or the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, especially when you know you’re getting into a high-performance set of wheels.
On the base level, both sedans are equipped with a 2.0L Turbocharged inline 4-cylinder engine, nearly identical with over 250 horsepower. They also come with Rear Wheel Drive and offer available All Wheel Drive. Additionally, the G70 and the C-Class both have automatic transmissions.
However, that’s where the similarities end, and the Genesis begins to assert its dominance.
There are certain performance features you can enjoy even without upgrading to another engine. One of these features allows you to dial up greater control over steering, stability, transmission and throttle.
In the C-Class, you’ll have four drive modes to choose from: Comfort, Sport, Individual, and Eco. However, the G70’s Intelligent Drive Mode system provides a total of six modes. Not only does it match those same four modes already mentioned, but then the G70 exceeds the capabilities of the C-Class by adding two additional modes: Smart and Sport+. That way, you can completely personalize your drive.
Over the years, vehicle manufacturers all around the world have stepped up their game regarding safety—and the Genesis G70 and the Mercedes-Benz C-Class are no exceptions. After all, protecting you and your passengers is of the utmost importance when you’re behind the wheel.
Both models are loaded with many safety features to help keep you and others safe. They utilize a cutting-edge network of sensors, radar, and cameras to add an extra layer of protection. Some of their shared safety features include a Rearview Camera, High Beam Assist , and a range of advanced airbags.
Genesis takes your safety a few steps further to ensure your complete peace of mind. As such, the G70 comes standard with these additional protective features:
- Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
- Lane Keeping Assist
- Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist
The Mercedes-Benz makes similar features available, but they don’t come standard as they do in the Genesis.
Whether you’re driving around the block or taking a long trip with friends or family, everyone in the cabin will enjoy the ride more if there’s enough room to stretch out without intruding on each other’s space.
The front row of the Genesis offers you and your copilot 42.6 inches of legroom and 39.8 inches of headroom, which is more than the 41.7 inches of front legroom and 37.5 inches of headroom you’ll get in the Mercedes-Benz. The rear passengers in both vehicles will have comparable headroom and legroom.
Today’s drivers—and passengers, for that matter—expect a certain level of connectivity and convenience, especially when it comes to luxury sedans like the Genesis G70 and the Mercedes-Benz C-Class. Fortunately, these models deliver.
Both the G70 and the C-Class include smartphone integration through Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, a multimedia touchscreen in excess of 10 inches, and keyless entry systems.
Make no mistake—the Genesis G70 and the Mercedes-Benz C-Class set the benchmark when it comes to luxury sedans. However, Genesis of Dearborn thinks that drivers in Dearborn, Detroit, Southfield MI will gravitate toward the G70 based on its additional performance offerings, safety features, and interior space and amenities.
