Last updated August 4, 2026

About the 2021 Maserati Quattroporte
6th generation (US market 2014-2023), 2021 refresh year and first year for the Trofeo sedan.
Maserati positions the Quattroporte as its flagship sports sedan: a long, elegant four-door that mixes luxury-sedan comfort with a driver-focused personality. The core appeal is not gadget count or quiet anonymity, but Italian design, a distinctive engine note, and a sense of occasion every time it moves. Compared with big German sedans, the Quattroporte sells more on style, character, and emotional pull, while still offering real rear-seat space, strong twin-turbo power, and available all-wheel drive.
The 2021 Quattroporte is a large luxury sedan offered in comfort-focused GranLusso, sport-styled GranSport, and all-wheel-drive Q4 forms, all built around a 424-hp twin-turbo V6. GranLusso models emphasize rich materials such as silk-and-leather upholstery, while GranSport versions add sport seats and sharper trim. At the top, the rear-wheel-drive Trofeo pairs a 580-hp twin-turbo V8 with performance-tuned suspension and carbon-fiber details.
