The Quattroporte has standard whiplash protection, which use a specially designed headrest to protect the driver and front passenger from whiplash. During a rear-end collision, the whiplash protection system moves the headrests forward to prevent neck and spine injuries. The CT5 doesn’t offer a whiplash protection system.

To help make backing out of a parking space safer, the Quattroporte has a standard rear cross-path warning system, which uses sensors in the rear bumper to alert the driver to vehicles approaching from the side, helping the driver avoid collisions. Only the CT5 Premium Luxury/Sport has a rear cross-path warning system.

Both the Quattroporte and the CT5 have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, front side-impact airbags, driver knee airbags, side-impact head airbags, front seatbelt pretensioners, height adjustable front shoulder belts, four-wheel antilock brakes, traction control, electronic stability systems to prevent skidding, crash mitigating brakes, daytime running lights, lane departure warning systems, blind spot warning systems, rearview cameras and available all wheel drive.

Engine

The Quattroporte has more powerful engines than the CT5:

	Horsepower	Torque
Quattroporte GT 3.0 turbo V6	345 HP	369 lbs.-ft.
Quattroporte Modena 3.0 turbo V6	424 HP	428 lbs.-ft.
Quattroporte Trofeo 3.8 turbo V8	580 HP	538 lbs.-ft.
CT5 2.0 turbo 4-cylinder	235 HP	258 lbs.-ft.
CT5 3.0 turbo V6	335 HP	405 lbs.-ft.

Fuel Economy and Range

The Quattroporte has 3.6 gallons more fuel capacity than the CT5 (21.1 vs. 17.5 gallons), for longer range between fill-ups.

Transmission

The Quattroporte Trofeo’s launch control uses engine electronics to hold engine RPM’s precisely in order to provide the most stable and rapid acceleration possible, using all of the available traction. The CT5 doesn’t offer launch control.

Brakes and Stopping

For better stopping power the Quattroporte’s brake rotors are larger than those on the CT5:

	Quattroporte	Quattroporte Trofeo	CT5	CT5 Sport
Front Rotors	14.2 inches	15 inches	12.6 inches	13.6 inches
Rear Rotors	13.6 inches	13.6 inches	12.4 inches	12.4 inches

The Quattroporte’s standard front and rear disc brakes are vented to help dissipate heat for shorter stops with less fading. The rear discs standard on the CT5 are solid, not vented.

Tires and Wheels

For better traction and acceleration, the Quattroporte has larger standard rear tires than the CT5 (275/40R19 vs. 245/45R18). The Quattroporte’s optional rear tires are larger than the largest rear tires available on the CT5 (285/35R20 vs. 255/35R20).

The Quattroporte’s standard 275/40R19 rear tires provide better handling because they have a lower 40 series profile (height to width ratio) that provides a stiffer sidewall than the CT5’s standard 45 series tires. The Quattroporte’s optional 285/30R21 rear tires have a lower 30 series profile than the CT5’s optional 35 series tires.

For better ride, handling and brake cooling the Quattroporte has standard 19-inch wheels. Smaller 18-inch wheels are standard on the CT5. The Quattroporte’s optional 21-inch wheels are larger than the 20-inch wheels optional on the CT5.

The Quattroporte has a standard space-saver spare tire so you can replace a flat tire and drive to have the flat repaired or replaced. A spare tire isn’t available on the CT5; it requires you to depend on its optional run-flat tires, which limits mileage and speed before they are repaired. If a run-flat is damaged beyond repair by a road hazard your vehicle will have to be towed.

Suspension and Handling

The Quattroporte’s drift compensation steering can automatically compensate for road conditions which would cause the vehicle to drift from side to side, helping the driver to keep the vehicle straight more easily. The CT5 doesn’t offer drift compensation steering.

For a smoother ride and more stable handling, the Quattroporte’s wheelbase is 8.8 inches longer than on the CT5 (124.8 inches vs. 116 inches).

For better handling and stability, the track (width between the wheels) on the Quattroporte is 1.5 inches wider in the front and .9 inches wider in the rear than on the CT5.

For better maneuverability, the Quattroporte’s turning circle is .3 feet tighter than the CT5’s (38.7 feet vs. 39 feet). The Quattroporte’s turning circle is 2 feet tighter than the CT5 AWD’s (38.7 feet vs. 40.7 feet).

Passenger Space

Because it has more passenger and cargo room, the EPA rates the Quattroporte a Large car, while the CT5 is rated a Mid-size.

The Quattroporte has 15 cubic feet more passenger volume than the CT5 (114 vs. 99).

The Quattroporte has 11.1 inches more front hip room, 7.6 inches more front shoulder room, 1.2 inches more rear headroom and 4.1 inches more rear hip room than the CT5.

For enhanced passenger comfort on long trips the Quattroporte’s available rear seats recline. The CT5’s rear seats don’t recline.

Cargo Capacity

The Quattroporte has a much larger trunk than the CT5 (18.7 vs. 11.9 cubic feet).

To make loading and unloading groceries and cargo easier, especially for short adults, the Quattroporte has a standard power trunk, which opens and closes automatically by pressing a button or just by kicking your foot under the back bumper, completely leaving your hands free. The CT5 doesn’t offer a power trunk, so its trunk has to be closed manually.

Ergonomics

The Quattroporte has a standard locking fuel door with a remote release located convenient to the driver. A locking fuel door helps prevent fuel theft and vandalism, such as sugar in the tank. The CT5 doesn’t offer a locking fuel door.

Heated windshield washer nozzles are standard on the Quattroporte to prevent washer fluid and nozzles from freezing and help continue to keep the windshield clear in sub-freezing temperatures. The CT5 doesn’t offer heated windshield washer nozzles.

In poor weather, headlights can lose their effectiveness as grime builds up on their lenses. This can reduce visibility without the driver realizing. The Quattroporte has standard headlight washers to keep headlight output high. The CT5 doesn’t offer headlight washers.

The CT5 Premium Luxury/Sport’s optional cornering lamps activate a lamp on the front corner when the turn signal is activated. The Quattroporte’s standard adaptive cornering lights turn the actual headlight unit up to several degrees, depending on steering wheel angle and vehicle speed. This lights a significant distance into corners at any speed.

A power rear sunshade and rear side window sunshades are standard in the Quattroporte to help block heat and glare for the rear passengers. The CT5 doesn’t offer a rear or rear side window sunshades.

The Quattroporte has standard heated front seats. Heated front seats cost extra on the CT5. The Quattroporte also offers optional heated rear seats to keep those passengers extremely comfortable in the winter. Heated rear seats aren’t available in the CT5.

Optional air conditioned front and rear seats keep the Quattroporte’s passengers comfortable and take the sting out of hot leather in summer. The CT5 doesn’t offer air-conditioned seats in the rear.

The Quattroporte has a standard heated steering wheel to take the chill out of steering on extremely cold winter days before the car heater warms up. A heated steering wheel costs extra on the CT5.

To quickly and conveniently keep personal devices charged without cables tangling and wearing out, the Maserati Quattroporte has a standard wireless phone charging system (Qi) on the dashboard. Wireless charging costs extra on the CT5.

The Quattroporte offers an optional 115-volt a/c outlet on the center console, allowing you to recharge a laptop or run small household appliances without special adapters that can break or get misplaced. The CT5 doesn’t offer a house-current electrical outlet.
