Compare the2026 Maserati GranTurismoVS 2026 Aston Martin Vanquish

Over 200 people are killed each year when backed over by motor vehicles. The GranTurismo 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 Vanquish doesn’t offer backup collision prevention brakes.

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

Both the GranTurismo and the Vanquish 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, around view monitors, rear cross-path warning and driver alert monitors.

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

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

The GranTurismo Foglore’s standard electric motors produces 257 lbs.-ft. more torque (995 vs. 738) than the Vanquish’s 5.2 turbo V12.

On the EPA test cycle the GranTurismo Foglore running on electricity gets better mileage than the Vanquish Coupe (85 city/81 hwy MPGe vs. 13 city/21 hwy).

On the EPA test cycle the GranTurismo running its gasoline engine gets better mileage than the Vanquish Coupe:

The GranTurismo Foglore can travel with zero emissions for 233 miles. The Vanquish can’t move without running its internal combustion engine.

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

In its Green Vehicle Guide, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rates the Maserati GranTurismo higher (4 to 10 out of 10) than the Aston Martin Vanquish (2). This means the GranTurismo produces up to 40.6 pounds less smog-producing pollutants than the Vanquish every 15,000 miles.

All wheel drive, available in the GranTurismo, 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 Vanquish is not available with all wheel drive.

The GranTurismo’s tires provide better handling because they have a lower 30 series profile (height to width ratio) that provides a stiffer sidewall than the Vanquish’s standard 35 series front tires.

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

The GranTurismo has a standard automatic front and rear load leveling suspension to keep ride height level with a heavy load or when towing. The GranTurismo’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 Vanquish doesn’t offer a load leveling suspension.

For a smoother ride and more stable handling, the GranTurismo’s wheelbase is 1.7 inches longer than on the Vanquish (115.3 inches vs. 113.6 inches).

For better maneuverability, the GranTurismo’s turning circle is .9 feet tighter than the Vanquish’s (40.7 feet vs. 41.6 feet).

The Maserati GranTurismo may be more efficient, handle and accelerate better because it weighs up to about 250 pounds less than the Aston Martin Vanquish.

The front grille of the GranTurismo uses electronically controlled shutters to close off airflow and reduce drag when less engine cooling is needed. This helps improve highway fuel economy. The Vanquish doesn’t offer active grille shutters.

The GranTurismo has a much larger trunk than the Vanquish Coupe (10.9 vs. 8.8 cubic feet).

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

The GranTurismo offers a 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 Vanquish doesn’t offer a remote starting system.

The GranTurismo offers an optional heads-up display that projects speed, tachometer, 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 Vanquish doesn’t offer a heads-up display.

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

To help drivers avoid possible obstacles, the GranTurismo offers optional cornering lights to illuminate around corners when the turn signals are activated. The Vanquish doesn’t offer cornering lights. The GranTurismo also offers optional 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 GranTurismo has standard extendable sun visors. The Vanquish doesn’t offer extendable visors.

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