Genesis vs Mercedes Chandler
Mercedes Pits Its Old Reputation Against Genesis’ Growing Popularity
Here’s why this premium brand comparison is so relevant to today’s luxury car shopper.
In an article about the ascendancy of the Korean automaker, Motor Trend noted that Genesis models are true individuals that are unique from the ground up. They are NOT simply dressed-up versions of cheaper cars. And that’s how Genesis has taken the fight to Mercedes.
Of course, many luxury shoppers don’t realize this. They trend toward the old brands, choosing Mercedes SUVs in Chandler, rather than seeking the disruptor. Keep scrolling to find out how Genesis has changed the marketplace.
Gorgeous and Sophisticated
Visual sophistication is a hallmark of every Genesis. What’s more, those good looks are enhanced by top notch craftsmanship and the best materials available today. True luxury is built into the cars not added on.
Praising Genesis, Car and Driver noted that its sedan is “easy to confuse with a Bentley”. Kelley Blue Book has written that the G90 design “turns heads” while US News calls it “classy” and Motor Trend calls it “extraordinary”. Edmunds praises the GV80 for its “ striking design with a unique elegance”.
Kelley Blue Book has called Genesis a class leader as well. The brand simply couldn’t receive this accolade without meeting these visual benchmarks for its entire fleet.
From the award-winning sports sedan G70 to the ultimate GV80 SUV, every model is a beauty. Genesis leases and loans are extremely competitive when you use the financing department at our Genesis Scottsdale dealership. To find out more, just click here for easy Online Pre-Approval.

Plus there are seven Genesis models on the Editors’ Choice list.
Even as its stable of models has grown, Genesis has earned some of the best scores from JD Power. These include excellent marks for initial quality, dependability, and technology. While Genesis performs at the top of the rankings, Mercedes is average at best.
Most recently, Genesis earned the highest ranked brand for the JD Power 2025 US Tech Index. Additionally, Genesis Intelligent Assistant app earned the top ranking in another recent JD Power study.

Genesis vs Mercedes Prices
For many, the price is not the essential part of luxury car shopping. What’s more important is what you are getting for your luxury car dollar. After all, that’s why you aren’t looking at basement prices. You want something really good that shows off your style and personality.
“Genesis’s formula of mixing high-end materials with attractive interior design and contemporary tech features isn’t unique,” writes Car and Driver. What is unique, they write, is “delivering a level of luxury that looks and feels like it should cost thousands more than it does—while actually costing the same or less than the most popular SUVs in its class.”
Regardless of which Genesis model you buy, the brand is sure to fulfill your wishes for the most amenities and the best technologies. Since prices often start lower, you may find your costs the same, or you may realize meaningful savings when compared to Mercedes prices in Chandler.
However, the difference between Mercedes and Genesis is really much more about luxury value than the dollars saved or spent. To find comprehensive reviews on the latest luxury models, click here. 
Ownership Costs
In many ways, Mercedes relies on its reputation to supply value. However, this reliance on past victories means that it doesn’t make any extra effort to reward luxury shoppers. Mercedes-Benz warranties are minimal, providing only four years of coverage.
You can compare that to five years (60,000 mi) of bumper to bumper and 10 years (100,000 miles) of gas or hybrid powertrain coverage with Genesis. Standard maintenance is complimentary for the first three years, up to 36,000 miles. This helps pay you back for choosing Genesis as your luxury brand.
Furthermore, Genesis includes three years of connected services. Your Genesis Intelligent Assistant App can assist you with destination searches, remote start, remote climate control, and more. 
Conclusion
Now that you know more about the ways that Genesis is disrupting the marketplace for old stalwarts, like Mercedes-Benz in Scottsdale, it’s time to do some hands-on research. After all, luxury car shopping can be tons of fun.
