## Understanding SUV Types

SUVs come in different sizes: **compact/subcompact** (great for singles or couples), **midsize** (families of 4-5), **3-row/large** (families of 6+). Genesis offers the **GV70** (midsize) and **GV80** (large, 3-row option), both with elegant design and advanced safety features.

## Key Considerations

**Seating & cargo**: Count your passengers and measure cargo needs (sports equipment, groceries, luggage). **Fuel efficiency**: SUVs vary widely in MPG-compare EPA ratings. **Towing & payload**: If you haul a boat or trailer, check capacity. **Comfort & technology**: Genesis SUVs include premium interiors, intuitive infotainment, and safety tech. **Budget**: New, used, or lease-what works for your finances?
