Compare the2024 Ferrari PurosangueVS 2023 Tesla Model X

When descending a steep, off-road slope, the Purosangue’s standard Hill Descent Control allows you to creep down safely. The Model X doesn’t offer Hill Descent Control.

To help make backing out of a parking space safer, the Purosangue’s standard Rear Cross Traffic Alert uses sensors in the rear to alert the driver to vehicles approaching from the side, helping the driver avoid collisions. The Model X doesn’t offer a rear cross-path warning system.

The Purosangue has standard GPS Response System, which uses a global positioning satellite (GPS) receiver and a cellular system to send emergency personnel to the scene if any airbags deploy. The Model X doesn’t offer a GPS response system, only a navigation computer with no live response for emergencies, so if you’re involved in an accident and you’re incapacitated help may not come as quickly.

Both the Purosangue and the Model X have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, four-wheel antilock brakes, all wheel drive, 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 driver alert monitors.

The Purosangue comes with a full 3-year/unlimited-mile basic warranty, which covers the entire truck and includes free 24-hour roadside assistance. The Model X’s 50,000-mile basic warranty expires sooner.

Ferrari pays for scheduled maintenance on the Purosangue for 7 years and unlimited miles. Ferrari will pay for oil changes, air filter replacements, cabin filter replacement, brake fluid replacement, inspections, and any other required maintenance. Tesla doesn’t pay scheduled maintenance for the Model X.

The Purosangue’s standard 6.5 DOHC V12 produces 45 more horsepower (715 vs. 670) than the Model X’s standard electric motors.

For better stopping power the Purosangue’s brake rotors are larger than those on the Model X:

The Purosangue has standard heat-treated ceramic brake rotors, which last ten to twenty times as long as conventional cast iron rotors, don’t rust, don’t fade during repeated high speed braking, and their lighter weight contribute to better braking, handling and acceleration. The Model X doesn’t offer ceramic brake rotors.

For better traction and acceleration, the Purosangue has larger rear tires than the Model X (315/30R23 vs. 275/45R20). The Purosangue’s rear tires are larger than the largest rear tires available on the Model X (315/30R23 vs. 285/35R22).

The Purosangue’s 255/35R22 front and 315/30R23 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 Model X’s standard 45 series tires. The Purosangue’s tires are lower profile than the Model X’s optional 35 series tires.

For better ride, handling and brake cooling the Purosangue has standard 22-inch front and 23-inch rear wheels. Smaller 20-inch wheels are standard on the Model X. The Model X’s largest wheels are only 22-inches.

Changing a flat tire near traffic can be dangerous and inconvenient. The run-flat tires optional on the Purosangue can be driven up to 50 miles without any air pressure, allowing you to drive to a service station for a repair. The Model X doesn’t offer run-flat tires.

The Purosangue offers an available adjustable active suspension system, which counteracts cornering forces actively, limiting body roll and improving handling and stability. Tesla doesn’t offer an active suspension on the Model X.

For a smoother ride and more stable handling, the Purosangue’s wheelbase is 2.1 inches longer than on the Model X (118.8 inches vs. 116.7 inches).

For better handling and stability, the track (width between the wheels) on the Purosangue is 1.3 inches wider in the front and .4 inches wider in the rear than on the Model X.

The Ferrari Purosangue may be more efficient, handle and accelerate better because it weighs about 700 to 900 pounds less than the Tesla Model X.

The Purosangue is 3.3 inches shorter than the Model X, making the Purosangue easier to handle, maneuver and park in tight spaces.

The Purosangue has a much larger cargo volume than the Model X with its rear seat up (16.7 vs. 15 cubic feet).

The Purosangue’s standard rear seats fold to accommodate long and bulky cargo. The Model X 6-Passenger doesn’t offer folding rear seats.

The Purosangue’s entire steering wheel hub sounds the horn, facilitating hitting the horn in an emergency. The Model X has a small, single button on the steering wheel spoke that can be hard to find quickly in an emergency.

The Purosangue’s power window, power lock, power mirror and cruise control switches are lit from behind, making them plainly visible and easier to operate at night. The Model X’s cruise control switches are unlit, making them difficult to find at night and operate safely.

The Purosangue has a standard center folding armrest for the rear passengers. A center armrest helps make rear passengers more comfortable and it can provide a boundary between children. The Model X doesn’t offer a middle row seat center armrest.

The Purosangue offers optional massaging front and standard massaging rear seats. Massaging seats aren’t available in the Model X.
