Compare the2023 Nissan Ariya VS 2023 Genesis GV60

The Nissan Ariya has standard driver and front passenger side knee airbags mounted low on the dashboard. These airbags helps prevent the driver and front passenger from sliding under their seatbelts or the main frontal airbags; this keeps them better positioned during a collision for maximum protection. Knee airbags also help keep the legs from striking the dashboard, preventing knee and leg injuries in the case of a serious frontal collision. The GV60 doesn’t offer a front passenger side knee airbag.

Both the Ariya and the GV60 have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, front side-impact airbags, driver knee airbags, front seat center airbag, side-impact head airbags, front and rear seatbelt pretensioners, height adjustable front shoulder belts, four-wheel antilock brakes, traction control, electronic stability systems to prevent skidding, crash mitigating brakes, daytime running lights, lane departure warning systems, blind spot warning systems, rearview cameras, rear cross-path warning, driver alert monitors and available around view monitors.

There are almost 4 times as many Nissan dealers as there are Genesis dealers, which makes it much easier should you ever need service under the Ariya’s warranty.

	Ariya	GV60
70 to 0 MPH	168 feet	180 feet	Car and Driver

The Ariya Platinum+ handles at .86 G’s, while the GV60 Performance pulls only .83 G’s of cornering force in a Car and Driver skidpad test.

For better maneuverability, the Ariya’s turning circle is 3.8 feet tighter than the GV60’s (35.4 feet vs. 39.2 feet).

The Nissan Ariya may be more efficient, handle and accelerate better because it weighs up to about 350 pounds less than the Genesis GV60.

The Ariya has .6 inches more front headroom and .2 inches more rear headroom than the GV60.

The Ariya has a larger cargo volume with its rear seat folded than the GV60 with its rear seat folded (59.7 vs. 54.7 cubic feet).

The Ariya’s cargo area is larger than the GV60’s in almost every dimension:

	Ariya	GV60
Length to seat (2nd/1st)	38.3”/74.8”	35.3”/68”
Max Width	54.6”	47.4”
Min Width	43.3”	41”
Height	26.9”	28”

Unlike the driver-only memory system in the GV60, the Ariya Platinum+ has a passenger memory, so that when drivers switch, the memory setting adjusts the driver’s seat, steering wheel position (with optional power wheel adjuster) and outside mirror angle and the front passenger seat also adjusts to the new passenger’s preset preferences.

To improve rear visibility by keeping the rear window clear, the Ariya has a standard rear wiper. The GV60 doesn’t offer a rear wiper.

The Ariya is available in both front-wheel drive and four-wheel drive configurations. The GV60 doesn’t offer a two-wheel drive configuration.
