Compare the2025 Maserati GranCabrio FogloreVS 2024 Jaguar F-Type

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 F-Type doesn’t offer automatic braking for stationary objects directly to the rear.

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 F-Type.

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

Both the GranCabrio Foglore and the F-Type 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, rear cross-path warning and driver alert monitors.

The Maserati GranCabrio Foglore weighs 1213 to 1398 pounds more than the Jaguar F-Type. The NHTSA advises that heavier cars are much safer in collisions than their significantly lighter counterparts.

The GranCabrio Foglore’s electric motors produces 307 more horsepower (751 vs. 444) and 568 lbs.-ft. more torque (996 vs. 428) than the F-Type P450’s standard 5.0 supercharged V8. The GranCabrio Foglore’s electric motors produces 176 more horsepower (751 vs. 575) and 480 lbs.-ft. more torque (996 vs. 516) than the F-Type R75’s standard 5.0 supercharged V8.

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

The GranCabrio Foglore can travel with zero emissions on a full charge for 233 miles. The F-Type 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 F-Type doesn’t offer a regenerative braking system.

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

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 F-Type’s standard 35 series front tires.

For better ride, handling and brake cooling the GranCabrio Foglore has standard 21-inch rear wheels. Only 20-inch wheels are available on the F-Type.

The front and rear suspension of the GranCabrio Foglore uses air springs for a smoother, controlled ride than the F-Type, 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 F-Type doesn’t offer a load leveling suspension.

For a smoother ride and more stable handling, the GranCabrio Foglore’s wheelbase is 12.1 inches longer than on the F-Type (115.3 inches vs. 103.2 inches).

For better handling and stability, the track (width between the wheels) on the GranCabrio Foglore is 2.5 inches wider in the front and 1.3 inches wider in the rear than on the F-Type.

The GranCabrio Foglore’s front to rear weight distribution is more even (50% to 50%) than the F-Type’s (54.5% to 45.5%). This gives the GranCabrio Foglore more stable handling and braking.

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

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 F-Type doesn’t offer a heads-up display.

The F-Type’s cornering lamps activate a lamp on the front corner when the turn signal is activated. The GranCabrio Foglore’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.

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 F-Type doesn’t offer extendable visors.

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

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 F-Type.

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 F-Type doesn’t offer an adaptive cruise control.

With standard voice command, the GranCabrio Foglore offers the driver hands free control of the radio, climate controls and the navigation computer by simply speaking. The F-Type doesn’t offer a voice control system.

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 F-Type doesn’t offer wireless personal charging.
