On the EPA test cycle the MC20 gets better mileage than the 911 Coupe:

The MC20 has 1.6 gallons more fuel capacity than the 911’s standard fuel tank (18.5 vs. 16.9 gallons), for longer range between fill-ups.

The MC20 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 911 doesn’t offer a cap-less fueling system.

For better stopping power the MC20’s standard brake rotors are larger than those on the 911:

For better traction, the MC20 has larger tires than the 911 (F:245/35R20 & R:305/30R20 vs. F:235/40R19 & R:295/35R20).

The MC20’s 245/35R20 front and 305/30R20 rear tires provide better handling because they have a lower 35 series front and 30 series rear profile (height to width ratio) that provides a stiffer sidewall than the 911’s standard 40 series front and 35 series rear tires.

For better ride, handling and brake cooling the MC20 has standard 20-inch wheels. Smaller 19-inch front wheels are standard on the 911.

For a smoother ride and more stable handling, the MC20’s wheelbase is 9.8 inches longer than on the 911 (106.3 inches vs. 96.5 inches). The MC20’s wheelbase is 9.6 inches longer than on the 911 GT3 (106.3 inches vs. 96.7 inches).

For better handling and stability, the track (width between the wheels) on the MC20 is 3.6 inches wider in the front and 3.3 inches wider in the rear than the average track on the 911.

The MC20 Coupe handles at 1.08 G’s, while the 911 S Coupe pulls only 1.06 G’s of cornering force in a Car and Driver skidpad test.

The MC20 Coupe has a larger trunk than the 911 Coupe with its rear seat up (5.3 vs. 4.6 cubic feet).

The MC20 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 911 doesn’t offer a remote starting system.

The MC20’s standard easy entry system glides the driver’s seat back, making it easier for the driver to get in and out. An easy entry system costs extra on the 911.

If the windows are left open on the MC20 the driver can close them all from a distance using the remote. On a hot day the driver can also lower the windows the same way. The driver of the 911 can only operate the windows from inside the vehicle, with the ignition on.

To quickly and conveniently keep personal devices charged without cables tangling and wearing out, the Maserati MC20 has a standard wireless phone charging system (Qi) in the center console. The 911 doesn’t offer wireless personal charging.
