Since there's no power advantage over the GranTurismo lineup, we suggest sticking with the base Sport trim. It forgoes the exterior aerodynamic additions for a cleaner, more refined appearance, and the standard adaptive suspension delivers a more comfortable ride than the MC models.

The 2017 Maserati GranTurismo is a two-door coupe with seating for four. A convertible model is covered in a separate review. Three trim levels are offered: Sport, MC and MC Centennial.

comfort

The adaptive suspension is compliant enough in Comfort mode to smooth bumps in the road. The stiff sport suspension on the MC trims may ruin the ride. The front seats are aggressively bolstered but well shaped and padded for comfortable touring.

interior

The GranTurismo uses premium materials throughout the cabin, but it trails the competition when it comes to technology. Controls for infotainment and climate have a last-decade feel, and many features aren't even offered. Backseat space is limited, making it suitable for small passengers only.

utility

Storage is at a premium, both in the cabin and in the trunk. Narrow door pockets, small cupholders and a center armrest bin are all there is to hold your personal items. The trunk isn't huge (9.2 cubic feet), but it's decent-sized for this class of car.

technology

A small screen with an abundance of buttons make the GranTurismo's infotainment system old by current standards. The lack of more advanced smartphone integration and advanced safety features further drive the point home.
