The 2021 BMW 7-Series is the flagship sedan in the BMW stable. This means that no effort was spared to make this car as luxurious and as high performance as possible. The 2021 BMW 7-Series features an interior that is full of creature comforts. The leather-covered interior feels like a luxury hotel and everything about the car is carefully thought out. When it comes to full-size luxury sedans, it doesn’t get better than the 2021 BMW 7-Series.
The 2021 Maserati Quattroporte is Maserati’s attempt to rival other full-size luxury sedans and while it makes a valiant attempt, it quite does not hit the mark. The 2021 Quattroporte is decked out with fine materials in the cabin but it still has plastic knobs and switches that are clearly from models further down the range.
Design & Style
In a segment where manufacturers do their best to make their cars a luxurious as possible the fact that the 2021 7-Series stands out is testimony to the skills of the BMW engineers and designers. The styling of the 7-Series is both executive and sporty at the same time. The interior is luxurious in an understated way with the BMW designers taking time to ensure that everything is exactly where you would expect it to be.
The 2021 Quattroporte is uniquely designed and will appeal to drivers who want to stand out of the crowd. However, the cabin is conspicuously smaller than all the other cars in this segment. This makes the 2021 Quattroporte not seem like it belongs in this niche. The interior is mostly made up of premium materials but the plastic bits serve to further lower the premium look and feel of this car.
Technology & Safety
The luxurious 2021 BMW 7-Series extends its executive feel to the range of tech and buyers can expect numerous tech features as standard. These include a 12.3-inch display as well as smartphone integration and phone charging consoles. The infotainment system is responsive and handles gesture and voice commands.
When it comes to tech features, the 2021 Maserati Quattroporte is decked out with a 10-inch infotainment display that is reasonably good although not what you would expect in a luxury sedan with a six-figure price tag. Other features include smartphone integration and wireless charging.
Performance
Under the hood, the 20217 Series comes with a choice of V6, V8, and V12 engines. The V6 is enough to power this full-size sedan but people looking for more speed or power may opt for V8 or V12 variants. Performance is superb and the cabin insulation keeps external noise out of the cabin.
Under the hood, the 2021 Quattroporte comes with two choices namely a twin-turbo V8 and twin-turbo V6. Both are excellent and offer the Quattroporte enough. Handling is excellent although the suspension is not quite as good as that in the 2021 7-Series.
The Bottom Line
While the 2021 Quattroporte and the 2021 7-Series are superb cars in every sense of the word, the 7-Series edges out the Quattroporte when it comes to details. The interior of the 2021 7-Series feels way more refined and the ride quality is better. For this reason, the 2021 7-Series easily wins this comparison.
