Maserati Granturismo vs Mercedes-Benz EQS: Specs Compared

Running cost over five years: at the EPA's 15,000-mile-a-year assumption the Mercedes-Benz EQS burns about $700 of fuel annually against $850 for the Maserati Granturismo. That $150 yearly gap compounds to roughly $750 over five years and $1,200 over eight — often more than the price difference between two trims of the same vehicle, and the single largest running-cost line item separating these two.

City and highway economy: the Mercedes-Benz EQS leads in both cycles — 101 mpg city and 105 mpg highway against 90 and 85 mpg — so its fuel-efficiency advantage holds whether you commute in traffic or cover long highway miles.

Powertrain choice: the Maserati Granturismo is recorded with 2 distinct engine configurations (SIDI & PFI, 4.7), the Mercedes-Benz EQS with no. Across 18 recorded Maserati Granturismo configurations and 32 for the Mercedes-Benz EQS, the wider the engine spread the more the real-world fuel efficiency depends on which version you actually buy, so check the specific model year and drivetrain rather than the headline number.

Drivetrain and class: the Maserati Granturismo is offered with All-Wheel Drive, Rear-Wheel Drive, the Mercedes-Benz EQS with All-Wheel Drive, Rear-Wheel Drive. All-wheel drive typically costs one to two mpg combined against the same vehicle in front- or rear-wheel drive, which is worth remembering when the gap between these two is small. The EPA classes them as Subcompact Cars and Large Cars respectively — the class drives the interior volume, cargo space and passenger space each one is measured against.
