Maserati Quattroporte

The Maserati Quattroporte is a full-size luxury sports sedan with seating for four to five, depending on the configuration. It is the larger of two sedans available from the Italian automaker, measuring about a foot longer than its midsize sibling, the Ghibli, with which it shares some components.

Maserati has built the Quattroporte in a variety of trims and performance levels over the years. From the debut of the sixth-generation Quattroporte in 2014 through the 2019 model year, the Italian sports sedan was primarily offered in three trims: the entry-level S, the mid-tier S Q4, and the range-topping GTS. The 350 briefly slotted below the S as the base trim level for the 2018 model year but was dropped from the lineup the following year. For 2020, the luxe-leaning GranLusso and the racier GranSport replaced the S Q4 and GTS’s respective positions in the lineup, but only for a year. In 2021, the Quattroporte was reduced to just two trims – S and Trofeo – before the Modena joined the lineup for 2022 as a new mid-range trim. That year, the S was also renamed the GT.

Regardless of trim level, the Quattroporte is handsomely equipped with premium features. Leather upholstery, heated front seats, and a sunroof have long been standard on the Quattroporte, as have front and rear parking sensors and a rearview camera. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto arrived as standard features in 2017. Blind-spot warning followed in 2018 and was joined in 2020 by adaptive cruise control, forward collision mitigation, lane-departure warning, and a surround-view camera. In 2021, a 10.1-inch touchscreen replaced an 8.4-inch unit and also introduced a standard wireless smartphone charging pad.

A handful of different engines have powered the Quattroporte over the years. A 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 with over 400 horsepower has served as the standard mill on most trims, while a 3.8-liter turbocharged V8 with well over 500 hp is the longstanding engine on range-topping models, such as the Trofeo. A lower-spec 3.0-liter V6 with 345 hp also appeared on the base 350 trim for 2018; it was dropped from the lineup the following year only to reappear as the standard powerplant on the entry-level GT for 2022. All Quattroporte versions utilize an eight-speed automatic transmission driving either the rear wheels (standard) or all four when equipped with available all-wheel drive, which is designated with “Q4” badging. No hybrid or electric versions have been offered.
