2017 Maserati Quattroporte: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2017 Maserati Quattroporte receives a substantial mid-cycle refresh rather than a full redesign. The headline change is a broad update that combines revised styling with a new touchscreen and the luxury-focused GranLusso and sport-focused GranSport trim strategy.
About the 2017 Maserati Quattroporte
6th generation (M156), mid-cycle refresh year
Maserati positions the Quattroporte as its flagship Italian sports sedan: a full-size luxury four-door that puts emotion, sound, and style ahead of the more clinical feel of German rivals. The core pitch is a big, elegant sedan with genuine rear-seat room, strong twin-turbo power, and a chassis tuned to feel engaging rather than isolated. In this class, its biggest differentiators are its dramatic design, Ferrari-related engines, and a more character-rich driving experience.
The 2017 range spans the straightforward rear-wheel-drive S, the all-wheel-drive S Q4, and the 523-hp twin-turbo V8 GTS. GranLusso models emphasize comfort with features such as ventilated front seats and a power rear sunshade, while GranSport models use sport seats, paddle shifters, and darker exterior trim for a more aggressive feel.
What changed, by category

Maserati revised the grille, bumpers, and rear styling. The lineup also split into GranLusso and GranSport themes, with the former focused on luxury and the latter given a more aggressive appearance and sport-oriented cabin details.
Structural
An active air shutter and underbody aerodynamic revisions reduced drag by about 10%.
Tech
The redesigned dashboard and center console gained an 8.4-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. An air-quality sensor also became standard across the lineup.

Blind-spot sensors became standard on the S trim.
