Compare the2025 Maserati GranCabrio FogloreVS 2024 Chevrolet Corvette

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 Corvette doesn’t offer backup collision prevention brakes.

To provide maximum traction and stability on all roads, Full-Time Four-Wheel Drive is standard on the GranCabrio Foglore. But it costs extra on the Corvette.

The GranCabrio Foglore offers an optional Surround View Camera to allow the driver to see objects all around the vehicle on a screen. The Corvette only offers a rear monitor and rear parking sensors that beep or flash a light. That doesn’t help with obstacles to the front or sides.

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 Corvette doesn’t offer a driver alert monitor.

Both the GranCabrio Foglore and the Corvette 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, crash mitigating brakes, daytime running lights, rearview cameras, available lane departure warning systems, blind spot warning systems and rear cross-path warning.

The Maserati GranCabrio Foglore weighs 1302 to 1724 pounds more than the Chevrolet Corvette. The NHTSA advises that heavier cars are much safer in collisions than their significantly lighter counterparts.

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 Corvette’s 3-year/36,000-mile basic warranty expires 1 year or 14,000 miles sooner.

The GranCabrio Foglore’s electric motors produces 261 more horsepower (751 vs. 490) and 531 lbs.-ft. more torque (996 vs. 465) than the Corvette’s standard 6.2 V8. The GranCabrio Foglore’s electric motors produces 256 more horsepower (751 vs. 495) and 526 lbs.-ft. more torque (996 vs. 470) than the Corvette Z51’s standard 6.2 V8. The GranCabrio Foglore’s electric motors produces 96 more horsepower (751 vs. 655) than the Corvette E-Ray’s standard 6.2 V8 hybrid. The GranCabrio Foglore’s electric motors produces 81 more horsepower (751 vs. 670) and 536 lbs.-ft. more torque (996 vs. 460) than the Corvette Z06’s standard 5.5 DOHC V8.

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

The GranCabrio Foglore can travel with zero emissions on a full charge for 233 miles. The Corvette E-Ray has to start its internal combustion engine after only 5 miles.

The GranCabrio Foglore, as a pure battery electric vehicle, has no need to “idle” its motors in traffic: they only burn power when moving. The GranCabrio Foglore’s climate control systems still work completely when the vehicle is stopped. The Corvette still runs its internal combustion engine whenever it’s stopped, burning excess fuel.

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

For better stopping power the GranCabrio Foglore’s standard brake rotors are larger than those on the Corvette:

For better traction, the GranCabrio Foglore has larger front tires than the Corvette (265/30R20 vs. 245/35R19).

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 Corvette’s standard 35 series front tires.

For better ride, handling and brake cooling the GranCabrio Foglore has standard 20-inch front and 21-inch rear wheels. Smaller 19-inch front and 20-inch rear wheels are standard on the Corvette.

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

The GranCabrio Foglore has a standard automatic front and rear load leveling suspension to keep ride height level with a heavy load or when towing. The GranCabrio Foglore’s height leveling suspension allows the driver to raise ride height for better off-road clearance and then lower it again for easier entering and exiting and better on-road handling. The Corvette doesn’t offer a load leveling suspension.

For a smoother ride and more stable handling, the GranCabrio Foglore’s wheelbase is 8.1 inches longer than on the Corvette (115.3 inches vs. 107.2 inches).

For better handling and stability, the track (width between the wheels) on the GranCabrio Foglore is 1.2 inches wider in the rear than the average track on the Corvette.

The GranCabrio Foglore’s front to rear weight distribution is more even (50% to 50%) than the Corvette’s (41.6% to 58.4%). This gives the GranCabrio Foglore more stable handling and braking.

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

The GranCabrio Foglore has 38 cubic feet more passenger volume than the Corvette (89 vs. 51).

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

The GranCabrio Foglore’s rain-sensitive wipers adjust their speed and turn on and off automatically based on the amount of rainfall on the windshield. This allows the driver to concentrate on driving without constantly adjusting the wipers. The Corvette’s manually variable intermittent wipers have to be constantly adjusted.

To help drivers avoid possible obstacles, the GranCabrio Foglore has standard cornering lights to illuminate around corners when the turn signals are activated. The Corvette 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.

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 Corvette.

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 Corvette 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. Wireless charging costs extra on the Corvette.
