2022 Audi A6 vs. 2022 Maserati Ghibli
The 2022 Audi A6 is a spectacular sedan with amazing performance, comfortable cabin and excellent safety scores. But how does it compare to the 2022 Maserati Ghibli, a stylish car with a lovely design, dual turbo performance and superb handling?
Design & Style
The Maserati Ghibli is an Italian sedan with flair and panache. The exterior is sleek and passengers within the cabin will be presented with premium wood, leather and metallic surfaces. Some of its internal components are borrowed from the Stellantis, including the steering column, light and window switches. The trunk is large and aside from stitched leather, the seats are also covered in silk for increased comfort.
The Audi A6 is magnificent, especially when purchased in Black Optic edition. It can be purchased in the form of a wagon or sedan and the Allroad variant uses an elevated riding stance which makes it well suited to off-road maneuvering. The cabin is high tech and filled with digitized displays and touchscreens, and the seats remain plush and comfortable even after sitting in them for hours on end.
Technology & Safety
The Audi A6 has received perfect safety scores, capturing an IIHS Top Safety Pick+ and 5 stars NHTSA rating. It has adapted cruise control, automated emergency brakes, lane control, and multiple airbags, as well as night vision. Luxuries within its cabin include leather seats which can be heated or cooled, 9 inch touch displays, climate control and a sound system from Bang & Olufsen.
The Maserati Ghibli comes with many of the driver assistance functions found in the Audi, and most are standard. This includes emergency automatic brakes, pedestrian detection, lane management and cruise control. Semi-autonomous handling is also available. Luxuries within its cabin include a fifteen speaker sound system from Bowers & Wilkins, satellite radio from SiriusXM, and ten inch touch displays.
Performance
Those that purchase the Maserati Ghibli V8 Trofeo will get a 3.8 liter engine that is dual turbocharged and capable of generating 580 horsepower, with the ability to accelerate from zero to sixty in 3.7 seconds. Its maximum top speed is 178 mph. Those that purchase the Audi RS 6 Avant will get a dual turbo, 4 liter V8 engine that can generate 591 horsepower with the ability to accelerate from zero to sixty in 3.5 seconds, with a maximum to speed of 190 mph.
The Bottom Line
Though the Audi A6 and Maserati Ghibli seat the same number of passengers (five), the Audi has an advantage in horsepower, acceleration and top speed and this combined with the Ghibli’s thirsty powertrain, tight back seat leg space and unrefined switchgear makes the Audi A6 the winner.
