The GranCabrio Foglore has standard Automated Emergency Braking, which use forward mounted sensors to warn the driver of a possible collision ahead. If the driver doesn’t react and the system determines a collision is imminent, it automatically applies the brakes at full-force in order to reduce the force of the crash or avoid it altogether. The Vantage doesn't offer collision warning or crash mitigation brakes.

Over 200 people are killed each year when backed over by motor vehicles. The GranCabrio Foglore has standard Rear Emergency Braking that uses rear sensors to monitor for objects to the rear and automatically applies the brakes to prevent a collision. The Vantage doesn’t offer backup collision prevention brakes.

The GranCabrio Foglore has all-wheel drive to maximize traction under poor conditions, especially in ice and snow. The Vantage doesn’t offer all-wheel drive.

The GranCabrio Foglore’s optional lane departure warning system alerts a temporarily inattentive driver when the vehicle begins to leave its lane and gently nudges the vehicle back towards its lane. The Vantage doesn’t offer a lane departure warning system.

To help make backing out of a parking space safer, the GranCabrio Foglore’s optional Rear Cross Path uses sensors in the rear to alert the driver to vehicles approaching from the side, helping the driver avoid collisions. The Vantage doesn’t offer a rear cross-path warning system.

The GranCabrio Foglore’s optional driver alert monitor detects an inattentive driver then sounds a warning and suggests a break. According to the NHTSA, drivers who fall asleep cause about 100,000 crashes and 1500 deaths a year. The Vantage doesn’t offer a driver alert monitor.

The GranCabrio Foglore has standard SOS and Assist Call, which uses a global positioning satellite (GPS) receiver and a cellular system to help track down your vehicle if it’s stolen or send emergency personnel to the scene if any airbags deploy. The Vantage 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 GranCabrio Foglore and the Vantage have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, front side-impact airbags, side-impact head airbags, four-wheel antilock brakes, traction control, electronic stability systems to prevent skidding, daytime running lights, front and rear parking sensors, available blind spot warning systems and around view monitors.

The Maserati GranCabrio Foglore weighs 1068 to 1697 pounds more than the Aston Martin Vantage. The NHTSA advises that heavier cars are much safer in collisions than their significantly lighter counterparts.

Warranty

The GranCabrio Foglore comes with a full 4-year/50,000-mile basic warranty, which covers the entire car and includes free 24-hour roadside assistance. The Vantage’s 3-year basic warranty expires 1 year sooner.

There are over 3 times as many Maserati dealers as there are Aston Martin dealers, which makes it much easier should you ever need service under the GranCabrio Foglore’s warranty.

Engine

The GranCabrio Foglore’s electric motors produces 248 more horsepower (751 vs. 503) and 491 lbs.-ft. more torque (996 vs. 505) than the Vantage’s standard 4.0 turbo V8. The GranCabrio Foglore’s electric motors produces 224 more horsepower (751 vs. 527) and 491 lbs.-ft. more torque (996 vs. 505) than the Vantage F1’s standard 4.0 turbo V8. The GranCabrio Foglore’s electric motors produces 61 more horsepower (751 vs. 690) and 454 lbs.-ft. more torque (996 vs. 542) than the Vantage’s optional 5.2 turbo V12.

Fuel Economy and Range

On the EPA test cycle the GranCabrio Foglore running its gasoline engine gets better mileage than the Vantage:

		MPG
GranCabrio Foglore
	Electric Motors	84 city/80 hwy
Vantage
	4.0 turbo V8	18 city/24 hwy
	5.2 turbo V12	14 city/22 hwy

The GranCabrio Foglore can travel with zero emissions on a full charge for 233 miles. The Vantage can’t move without running its internal combustion engine.

Regenerative brakes improve the GranCabrio Foglore’s fuel efficiency by converting inertia back into energy instead of wasting it. The Vantage doesn’t offer a regenerative braking system.

Environmental Friendliness

In its Green Vehicle Guide, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rates the Maserati GranCabrio Foglore higher (10 out of 10) than the Aston Martin Vantage (3 to 5). This means the GranCabrio Foglore produces up to 36.3 pounds less smog-producing pollutants than the Vantage every 15,000 miles.

Transmission and Drivetrain

All wheel drive, available in the GranCabrio Foglore, provides the best traction for acceleration in wet, dry, and icy conditions. In corners, all wheel drive allows both outside wheels to provide power, balancing the car. This allows for better handling. The Aston Martin Vantage is not available with all wheel drive.

The GranCabrio Foglore’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 Vantage doesn’t offer launch control.

Tires and Wheels

For better traction, the GranCabrio Foglore has larger front tires than the Vantage (F:265/30R20 & R:295/30R21 vs. F:255/40R20 & R:295/35R20).

The GranCabrio Foglore’s tires provide better handling because they have a lower 30 series profile (height to width ratio) that provides a stiffer sidewall than the Vantage’s standard 40 series front and 35 series rear tires. The GranCabrio Foglore’s tires are lower profile than the Vantage F1/V12’s 35 series front tires.

For better ride, handling and brake cooling the GranCabrio Foglore has standard 21-inch rear wheels. Smaller 20-inch wheels are standard on the Vantage.

Suspension and Handling

The front and rear suspension of the GranCabrio Foglore uses air springs for a smoother, controlled ride than the Vantage, which uses coil springs. Air springs maintain proper ride height and ride more smoothly.

For a smoother ride and more stable handling, the GranCabrio Foglore’s wheelbase is 8.8 inches longer than on the Vantage (115.3 inches vs. 106.5 inches).

Passenger Space

The GranCabrio Foglore has standard seating for 4 passengers; the Vantage can only carry 2.

The GranCabrio Foglore has 42 cubic feet more passenger volume than the Vantage (89 vs. 47).

Cargo Capacity

A standard locking glovebox keeps your small valuables safer in the GranCabrio Foglore. The Vantage doesn’t offer locking storage for small valuables.

Ergonomics

The GranCabrio Foglore 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 Vantage doesn’t offer a remote starting system.

The GranCabrio Foglore offers an optional heads-up display that projects speed, navigation instruction and driver assistance information readouts in front of the driver’s line of sight, allowing drivers to view information without diverting their eyes from the road. The Vantage doesn’t offer a heads-up display.

The GranCabrio Foglore’s front and rear power windows all open or close with one touch of the switches, making it more convenient at drive-up windows and toll booths, or when talking with someone outside of the car. The Vantage’s power windows’ switches have to be held the entire time to close them fully.

While driving with high beams on, sensitive light sensors standard on the GranCabrio Foglore detect other vehicles which could be blinded and automatically switch to low beams. The Vantage doesn’t offer automatic dimming high beams.

To help drivers avoid possible obstacles, the GranCabrio Foglore has standard cornering lights to illuminate around corners when the turn signals are activated. The Vantage doesn’t offer cornering lights. The GranCabrio Foglore also has standard adaptive headlights to illuminate around corners automatically by reading vehicle speed and steering wheel angle.

To shield the driver and front passenger’s vision over a larger portion of the windshield and side windows, the GranCabrio Foglore has standard extendable sun visors. The Vantage doesn’t offer extendable visors.

The GranCabrio Foglore’s sun-visors swivel front-to-side to block glare from the side windows. The Vantage’s visors are fixed into the windshield header.

The GranCabrio Foglore’s standard rear and side view mirrors have an automatic dimming feature. These mirrors can be set to automatically darken quickly when headlights shine on them, keeping following vehicles from blinding or distracting the driver. The Vantage has an automatic rear view mirror, but its side mirrors don’t dim.

The GranCabrio Foglore 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 Vantage.

To keep a safe, consistent following distance, the GranCabrio Foglore offers an optional Adaptive Cruise Control, which alters the speed of the vehicle without driver intervention. This allows the driver to use cruise control more safely without constantly having to disengage it when approaching slower traffic. The Vantage doesn’t offer an adaptive cruise control.

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