“The Maserati Gran Turismo is not a sports car. It's a large 4 seat coupe. And if this is what you are looking for, then this car is a very good choice.”
2017 Maserati GranTurismo: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2017 Maserati GranTurismo is a true carryover with no major changes. It keeps the same late-cycle design and equipment ahead of the 2018 refresh.
About the 2017 Maserati GranTurismo
1st generation GranTurismo/GranCabrio (M145), late-cycle year just before the 2018 refresh.
Maserati positions the GranTurismo as an Italian grand tourer first and a hard-edged sports car second. The appeal is timeless Pininfarina styling, a naturally aspirated Ferrari-built V8 soundtrack, and real four-seat usability in either coupe or convertible form. Compared with rival luxury performance coupes, the GranTurismo’s calling card is emotion: rich engine sound, hand-finished cabin materials, and long-distance comfort wrapped in a shape that had already become one of Maserati’s signature designs by 2017.
For 2017, the Sport is the balanced four-seat grand tourer, pairing a 454-hp V8 with adaptive suspension, heated leather seats, navigation, and Bose audio. The MC adds firmer suspension and more aggressive bodywork, while the MC Centennial gives that same performance package unique wheels, carbon-fiber details, and a special cabin. The base convertible takes a more comfort-focused approach with a power soft top, adaptive suspension, and a 444-hp V8.

Frequently asked questions
What changed on the 2017 Maserati GranTurismo?
Nothing significant changed for 2017. The GranTurismo carried over its engines, six-speed automatic transmission, styling, safety equipment, cabin technology, and chassis setup from the prior year.
Is the 2017 Maserati GranTurismo different from the 2016 model?
The 2017 GranTurismo is essentially the same vehicle as the 2016 model. There was no confirmed lineup-wide update to its powertrain, design, technology, safety equipment, or structure.
Does the 2017 Maserati GranTurismo have a touchscreen or Apple CarPlay?
No. The 2017 GranTurismo uses Maserati’s older infotainment system without Apple CarPlay or Android Auto; the newer 8.4-inch touchscreen arrives with the 2018 refresh.
Which 2017 Maserati GranTurismo trim is the most performance-focused?
The MC is the most performance-focused regular 2017 trim. It uses the Sport’s 454-hp V8 but adds firmer fixed-rate suspension, aerodynamic bodywork, a vented hood, a center-mounted dual exhaust, and a more racing-inspired cabin.
What makes the 2017 GranTurismo MC Centennial different?
The MC Centennial is a design-focused special edition rather than a power upgrade. It shares the MC’s 454-hp V8 and firmer chassis but adds special wheels, carbon-fiber exterior details, and distinctive red, white, and blue cabin accents.

(3 reviews)
“Even though it lacks an up to date infotainment system, the Maserati GranTurismo Sport is a pleasure to drive and has shown a high level of reliability in my first six months of ownership.”
“Good car but the sound system/phone connection a bit on the outdated side and no back up camera which you really need with this car”
