Safety
Warranty
Chevrolet’s powertrain warranty covers the Corvette 1 year and 10,000 miles longer than Maserati covers the MC20. Any repair needed on the engine, transmission, axles, joints or driveshafts is fully covered for 5 years or 60,000 miles. Coverage on the MC20 ends after only 4 years or 50,000 miles.
The Corvette’s corrosion warranty is 2 years and 50,000 miles longer than the MC20’s (6/100,000 vs. 4/50,000).
There are over 25 times as many Chevrolet dealers as there are Maserati dealers, which makes it much easier should you ever need service under the Corvette’s warranty.
Reliability
The MC20’s redline is at 8000 RPM, which causes more engine wear, and a greater chance of a catastrophic engine failure. The Corvette has a 6600 RPM redline.
J.D. Power and Associates rated the Corvette first among compact premium sporty cars in their 2021 Initial Quality Study. The MC20 isn’t in the top three in its category.
Fuel Economy and Range
An engine control system that can shut down some of the engine’s cylinders helps improve the Corvette’s fuel efficiency. The MC20 doesn’t offer a system that can shut down part of the engine.
The Corvette has a standard cap-less fueling system. The fuel filler is automatically opened when the fuel nozzle is inserted and automatically closed when it’s removed. This eliminates the need to unscrew and replace the cap and it reduces fuel evaporation, which causes pollution. The MC20 doesn’t offer a cap-less fueling system.
Tires and Wheels
The Corvette has a standard easy tire fill system. When inflating the tires, the vehicle’s integrated tire pressure sensors keep track of the pressure as the tires fill and tell the driver when the tires are inflated to the proper pressure. The MC20 doesn’t offer vehicle monitored tire inflation.
Changing a flat tire near traffic can be dangerous and inconvenient. The run-flat tires standard on the Corvette can be driven up to 50 miles without any air pressure, allowing you to drive to a service station for a repair. The MC20 doesn’t offer run-flat tires.
Chassis
The design of the Chevrolet Corvette amounts to more than styling. The Corvette has an aerodynamic coefficient of drag of .32 Cd. That is significantly lower than the MC20 (.38). A more efficient exterior helps the Corvette go faster and keeps the interior quieter. It also helps the Corvette get better fuel mileage.
The Corvette’s standard power retractable hardtop allows a seamless transition from an open car, to a completely sealed coupe. The MC20 doesn’t offer a retractable hardtop.
The Corvette uses computer-generated active noise cancellation to help remove annoying noise and vibration from the passenger compartment, especially at low frequencies. The MC20 doesn’t offer active noise cancellation.
Cargo Capacity
The Corvette Coupe has a much larger trunk than the MC20 Coupe (12.6 vs. 5.3 cubic feet).
A standard locking glovebox and standard locking center console keeps your small valuables safer in the Corvette. The MC20 doesn’t offer locking storage for small valuables.
Ergonomics
The Corvette has a standard remote vehicle starting system, so the vehicle can be started from inside the driver's house. This allows the driver to comfortably warm up the engine before going out to the vehicle. The climate system will also automatically heat or cool the interior. The MC20 doesn’t offer a remote starting system.
The Corvette offers an optional heads-up display that projects speed, tachometer, turn signal and navigation instruction readouts in front of the driver’s line of sight, allowing drivers to view information without diverting their eyes from the road. The MC20 doesn’t offer a heads-up display.
The Corvette’s standard power window controls are mounted on the armrest for easy access. The MC20’s available power window controls are spread out on the center console where they can’t be seen without the driver completely removing his eyes from the road.
The Corvette’s variable intermittent wipers have an adjustable delay to allow the driver to choose a setting that best clears the windshield during light rain or mist. The MC20’s
The Corvette’s power mirror controls are mounted on the armrest for easy access. The MC20’s power mirror controls are on the dash where they are possibly hidden by the steering wheel and are awkward to manipulate.
Optional air-conditioned seats in the Corvette keep the driver and front passenger comfortable and take the sting out of hot seats in Summer. The MC20 doesn’t offer air-conditioned seats.
On extremely cold winter days, the Corvette’s optional heated steering wheel provides comfort, allowing the driver to steer safely and comfortably before the car heater warms up. The MC20 doesn’t offer a heated steering wheel.
