Safety

Earlier warning of stopped traffic, traffic signals, dangerous road conditions, weather, or accidents, can keep driver's safer and prevent crashes. The EQE SUV has Car-to-X Communication, a system that seamlessly communicates important warnings to the driver about impending danger, if they're available. The GV60 doesn’t offer a system that can receive automated systems from infrastructure or other vehicles.

Both the EQE SUV and the GV60 have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, front side-impact airbags, driver knee airbags, side-impact head airbags, front and rear seatbelt pretensioners, 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, front and rear parking sensors, rear cross-path warning and driver alert monitors.

The Mercedes EQE SUV weighs 410 to 939 pounds more than the Genesis GV60. The NHTSA advises that heavier vehicles are much safer in collisions than their significantly lighter counterparts.

Brakes and Stopping

The EQE SUV AMG offers optional heat-treated ceramic brake rotors, which last ten to twenty times as long as conventional cast iron rotors, don’t rust, don’t fade during repeated high speed braking, and their lighter weight contribute to better braking, handling and acceleration. The GV60 doesn’t offer ceramic brake rotors.

Tires and Wheels

For better traction, the EQE SUV’s optional tires are larger than the largest tires available on the GV60 (275/40R21 vs. 255/45R20).

Changing a flat tire near traffic can be dangerous and inconvenient. The run-flat tires available on the EQE SUV can be driven up to 50 miles without any air pressure, allowing you to drive to a service station for a repair. The GV60 doesn’t offer run-flat tires.

Suspension and Handling

The EQE SUV has a standard automatic front and rear load leveling suspension to keep ride height level with a heavy load or when towing. The GV60 doesn’t offer a load leveling suspension.

The EQE SUV’s drift compensation steering can automatically compensate for road conditions which would cause the vehicle to drift from side to side, helping the driver to keep the vehicle straight more easily. The GV60 doesn’t offer drift compensation steering.

For a smoother ride and more stable handling, the EQE SUV’s wheelbase is 5.1 inches longer than on the GV60 (119.3 inches vs. 114.2 inches).

For better handling and stability, the track (width between the wheels) on the EQE SUV is .8 inches wider in the front and 1.1 inches wider in the rear than on the GV60.

For better maneuverability, the EQE SUV with rear wheel steering’s turning circle is 3.8 feet tighter than the GV60’s (35.4 feet vs. 39.2 feet).

Chassis

The EQE SUV is 62.4 inches shorter in height than the GV60, making the EQE SUV much easier to wash and garage and drive (lower center of gravity).

Passenger Space

The EQE SUV has 2.7 inches more front headroom, 1.4 inches more front shoulder room, 1.3 inches more rear headroom, 3 inches more rear legroom and 1.1 inches more rear shoulder room than the GV60.

Cargo Capacity

The EQE SUV has a larger cargo volume with its rear seat folded than the GV60 with its rear seat folded (55 vs. 54.7 cubic feet).

Towing

Maximum trailer towing in the Genesis GV60 is limited to 2000 pounds. The EQE SUV offers up to a 4000 lbs. towing capacity.

Ergonomics

Unlike the driver-only memory system in the GV60, the EQE SUV has standard driver and passenger memory, so that when drivers switch, the memory setting adjusts the driver’s seat, steering wheel position and outside mirror angle and the front passenger seat also adjusts to the new passenger’s preset preferences.

Heated windshield washer nozzles are optional on the EQE SUV to prevent washer fluid and nozzles from freezing and help continue to keep the windshield clear in sub-freezing temperatures. The GV60 doesn’t offer heated windshield washer nozzles.

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

To help drivers see further while navigating curves, the EQE SUV offers optional adaptive headlights to illuminate around corners automatically by reading vehicle speed and steering wheel angle. The GV60 doesn’t offer cornering lights.
