If you are looking for a luxury sedan that delivers a lot of
power, the 2019 Jaguar XJ may be a better option. Its top-of-the-line XJR575
comes with a potent 5.0-liter supercharged V-8 that cranks out a whopping 575
horsepower, while the Maserati Quattroporte's optional 3.8-liter turbocharged
V-8 makes only 523 horsepower. The XJR575 can sprint from zero to 60 mph in
just 4.2 seconds. A V-8-powered Quattroporte, on the other hand, needs 4.6
seconds to do the same.
In addition, the Jaguar XJ features a rear suspension system with
air springs to maintain proper ride height and provide a smoother and more
controlled ride. The Maserati Quattroporte uses coil springs. The Jaguar's rear
suspension also has an automatic load-leveling system, which keeps ride height
level when you are hauling or towing a heavy load. This feature is unavailable
in the Maserati.
Measurements
If you are using your new sedan for commuting in an urban area,
you will appreciate the 2019 Jaguar XJ's shorter length. It is 5.2 inches
shorter than the Maserati Quattroporte, making it easier to handle and maneuver
in close quarters. Also, the Jaguar is 100 to 200 pounds lighter than its
rival, which contributes to better fuel efficiency, handling, and acceleration.
Luxury & Convenience
Both the 2019 Jaguar XJ and 2019 Maserati Quattroporte feature an
ultra-refined cabin with a generous list of comfort and convenience features.
However, the Jaguar has several thoughtful features that are absent in the
Maserati. The sedan comes with an available memory front-passenger seat that
automatically adjusts itself to suit the preferences of different passengers.
Additionally, it allows you to use the outside door handles to open and close
the windows, which is especially useful on a hot day. In the Quattroporte, you
can only open and close the windows from inside the car.
The Jaguar XJ also offers a heated steering wheel as standard
equipment to provide a more comfortable driving experience during winter. A
heated steering wheel is optional in the Maserati.
Warranty
If you opt for the 2019 Jaguar XJ, you will get a basic warranty
that covers the entire vehicle for 5 years or 60,000 miles. The Maserati
Quattroporte's basic warranty only lasts for 4 years or 50,000 miles. Also, the
Jaguar comes with free scheduled maintenance for 5 years and 60,000 miles, which
includes oil changes, lubrication, and other required maintenance tasks. The
Maserati does not offer complimentary maintenance.
