2020 Maserati Quattroporte
2020 Maserati Quattroporte Review
- Engaging handling for a large sedan
- Ferrari-derived engines with an exotic exhaust note
- Uniquely Italian style in a class dominated by German automakers
- Lacks the polish and advanced technology of German rivals
- Firm ride with 20- and 21-inch wheels
- Dealer network may be limited depending on the region
- Minor revisions to standard feature availability
- Part of the sixth Quattroporte generation introduced for 2013
Sporty large luxury sedans have been around for decades, but recently automakers have been introducing even sleeker models. You could likely credit Maserati as one of the pioneers when it reintroduced the Quattroporte (Italian for "four-door") in 2003. Now there are several alternatives to choose from, each with its own personalities and advantages.
The 2020 Maserati Quattroporte sets itself apart from its German rivals with a distinctly Italian flair. This is due in no small part to its engines, which come from sister company Ferrari. Add to that the striking Maserati trident logo in the grille and some flourishes inside, and the Quattroporte manages to feel special. At least on appearances.
On closer inspection, this latest Maserati can't compete with the sturdy construction and impeccable materials quality of its German counterparts. It's also not quite as well rounded as some rivals, suffering from a stiff ride quality and a dated design that lacks a lot of the coolest new luxury sedan technology features.
The Maserati Quattroporte has its subjective merits in its Italian roots, but the other European luxury sedans have it objectively beat when it comes to performance, comfort, quality and features.

Maserati Quattroporte vs. the competition
2020 Maserati Quattroporte
2019 Porsche Panamera
Maserati Quattroporte vs. Porsche Panamera
In the rather limited class of sporty yet luxurious sedans, the Porsche Panamera is easily one of the best choices. Within the Panamera family, there's an available wagon body style and engines that produce up to 677 horsepower. In general, the Porsche holds a significant performance and fuel efficiency advantage.
Maserati Quattroporte vs. Mercedes-Benz AMG GT
The AMG GT coupe is one of the finest sport coupes on the market. The sedan version takes that formula and adds rear seats. It delivers thrilling acceleration in an elegantly simple presentation while providing a smooth and comfortable ride. It's a wonderfully potent alternative to the established luxury sedans. It's also better built than the Maserati and has more up-to-date tech features.
Maserati Quattroporte vs. BMW Alpina B7
If you know the Alpina name, you might think that this alternative to the Quattroporte is out of place, but you'd be wrong. The BMW Alpina B7 is priced within a few hundred dollars of the Maserati and outclasses it with its more powerful turbocharged V8. Interior refinement and materials quality are even better in the Maserati than the standard BMW 7 Series, with no appreciable drawbacks.
