Maserati GranCabrio Vs BMW Z4 FAQs

It's about ₹2.46-2.69 Crore for the petrol GranCabrio 4.7 MC ex-showroom. The exact price depends on variant (MC trim etc.), colour, options. On-road cost will include RTO, insurance, taxes, which can push it significantly above the ex-showroom rate. If you pick premium colour or add-ons (interior leather, audio, etc.), expect more.

The GranCabrio Trofeo comes with a 3.0-litre twin-turbo V6 producing about 542 BHP and 650 Nm of torque. 0-100 km/h sprint happens in 3.6 seconds, with a top speed of 316 km/h.

It is a 2+2 cabriolet, meaning two front seats and two rear spots (rear more for occasional rides). The boot (with the roof up) is modest (around 173 litres in older GranCabrio V8 / earlier models) which is enough for a couple of bags; with roof down boot space often reduces. The car is long and wide (nearly 4.96 m in length, 1.91 m in width, and quite low in height) so parking in tight city spots is a workout.

It’s not for someone calculating EMI vs mileage. It’s for people who want Italian style, exclusivity, and the thrill of wind-in-your-hair driving. Think entrepreneurs, celebrities, industrialists—the kind who buy emotion first and practicality later. If you want an everyday luxury convertible that’s subtle, you’ll probably look at a Porsche 911 Cabriolet. If you want loud, dramatic, and rare, you’ll choose this.

The Folgore is Maserati’s all-electric drop-top and brings in a triple-motor setup with instant torque and zero-emissions cruising. It is heavier than the petrol Trofeo, but it promises supercar-rivaling acceleration with the calmness of an EV. It also uses sustainable materials like ECONYL® recycled fabrics in its cabin. In short, it’s a cabrio for those who want Italian drama without the petrol guilt.

The car stretches about 4.96 metres in length (16 feet), nearly 1.91 metres in width (6.26 feet) and stands low at 1.35 metres (4.43 feet). It looks wide and elegant, but parking this convertible in narrow Indian lanes is not for the faint-hearted. Its low stance gives it superb aerodynamics, but it also means speed breakers are your worst enemy.

With the roof up, you get around 142 litres of boot space. That’s enough for two cabin-sized bags and maybe a laptop case. With the roof folded down, usable luggage space shrinks even more. So, if you’re planning a Goa road trip, make sure your partner knows how to pack light—or just have the luggage couriered.

Realistically, the petrol Trofeo returns about 5–6 km/l in city and 8–9 km/l on long highways. With petrol at ₹102 per litre, that’s around ₹17 per km of running cost. Drive it 10,000 km a year and you’re looking at ₹17 lakh per year on fuel alone. Add maintenance, tyres, and insurance, and you’ll see this car costs as much to run annually as a brand-new Swift.

Modern convertibles like the GranCabrio use reinforced A-pillars, underbody strengthening, and rollover protection systems. Multiple airbags and electronic stability systems are standard. While no India-specific crash tests exist, Maserati builds this car to global standards. In short, it’s safer than old-school convertibles, but still, this isn’t the car you want to test crash for science.

You can, but it’s like wearing a tuxedo to the vegetable market. Possible, but overkill. The low ground clearance, wide body, and thirsty engine make it challenging in crowded city areas. On the flip side, imagine driving it to Marine Drive with the roof down at sunset—that’s exactly what this car was made for.

Because very few brands still make proper four-seat convertibles with such charisma. Maserati has always stood for style mixed with speed, and the GranCabrio continues that tradition. It’s not just transport, it’s a moving piece of theatre, a statement of personality, and a reminder that cars can still be about passion rather than spreadsheets.

The BMW Z4 M40i starts at around ₹87.90 lakh (ex-showroom).

This is a car for the driver who wants attention, style, and performance—someone who doesn’t need four seats, wants the wind in their hair, and doesn’t mind paying more for smiles per kilometre. Entrepreneurs, professionals, or luxury-car lovers who treat their car like an experience, not just transport.

Length: 4.324 meters (≈ 14.18 ft), Width: 1.864 meters (≈ 6.11 ft), Height: 1.304 meters (≈ 4.28 ft), Ground Clearance: ~ 114 mm, Boot space: 281 litres. Seats: 2. So no space for “uncle + aunty + kids” plus luggage; more for “me, my mate, and weekend bags.”

1. Engine: 3.0-litre inline-six petrol, turbocharged, producing about 340 hp and 500 Nm torque. 2. Drive: Rear-wheel drive (RWD) 3. Transmission: 8-speed automatic (torque converter) in most variants. Some variants with manual control / paddle shifts.

ARAI-claimed mileage: ≈ 12.8 kmpl for the petrol Z4 M40i. Cost per km considering Petrol at INR 102: ₹7.97/km
