The 2021 Mercedes-Benz CLS is a masterwork of German design and engineering. Its spectacular appearance and massive performance is perfectly balanced with its serene interior. But how does it compare to the 2021 Maserati Ghibli, the Italian stallion that has taken the world by storm due to its gorgeous looks, formidable engines and cutting edge tech?
The Maserati Ghibli is a four door sedan that will turn heads with its fender vents, swept back lights and ornate flanks. Within the cabin passengers will be presented with high end upholstery that includes both silk and leather that was produced in one of Italy’s famous fashion houses. It is just as pleasing to the eyes as it is to the skin.
The Mercedes-Benz CLS looks fabulous with its fast roofline, sleek and well-proportioned curves and prominent wheels. It can carry 4 adults in exquisite comfort with seats covered in supple leather that provide outstanding support for the back. Buyers get the option of nineteen or twenty inch wheels and a trunklid spoiler can be seen in back which is fully integrated.
The Mercedes-Benz CLS has earned the highest safety accolades that the automobile industry has to offer, including the Top Safety Pick award and 5 stars NHTSA rating. This is due to its extensive suite of safety functions which include driver assistance, automated lane switches, cruise control, lane control, emergency automated brakes and the ability to detect local speed limits and respond accordingly. Luxuries within its cabin include 12.3 inch displays, ambient lights, the choice of Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, voice commands and heated/cooled seats.
The Maserati Ghibli is equipped with a variety of driver assistance features, such as pedestrian detection, automated emergency brakes, and lane departure notifications, cruise control which is adaptive and semi-autonomous operation. Luxuries within its cabin include 10.1 inch displays, satellite radio, a sound system from Harmon Kardon that has ten speakers and the choice of Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.
The Maserati Ghibli is equipped with a dual turbo V6 that is 3 liter and capable of generating 345 horsepower, which enables it to accelerate from zero to sixty in just 4.7 seconds. The Mercedes Benz CLS answers with an inline 6, 3 liter engine that can generate 362 horsepower with 369 pounds of torque, which enables it to accelerate from zero to sixty in just 4.3 seconds.
Everything that the Maserati Ghibli does, the Mercedes-Benz does better. The CLS has bigger touchscreens and superior horsepower, and this combined with the Ghibli’s lackluster switch gear, cramped rear seats and fuel inefficiency makes Mercedes-Benz the winner.
