Once upon a time, Mercedes-Benz were the preserve of the privileged few. It was a premium brand bought by premium people for premium money. Yet nowadays, here in the UK, the three-pointed star finds it way onto more driveways than Renault, Peugeot, Citroen and even Vauxhall. So what do you do now if you want an exclusive, luxury car that stands you apart from the new normal? Well you may wish to consider a Genesis. This is the latest premium brand from Hyundai. It's been quite busy too, launching many new luxury models to compete with the more established, and dare we say, more ubiquitous, luxury German brands. But here it is launching its latest car straight into one of the most hotly contested sectors of them all - the premium compact crossover. So, the question is, would you buy a Genesis over a Mercedes-Benz? As always, we do the hard work for you and bring you the definitive verdict.
