What’s new
The 2017 Maserati Quattroporte gets a slightly different look on the outside thanks to new front and rear bumpers, an active grille shutter for fuel economy savings, and an updated tech interface on the inside via a new 8.4-inch touchscreen that provides Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The 2017 Quattroporte also gets some available safety equipment that was notably absent in the past such as adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, forward collision mitigation and a 360-degree camera.
Vehicle overview
Big, plush and a feast for the eyes, the 2017 Maserati Quattroporte is a Ferrari-powered sedan that competes with some of the top luxury flagship sedans on the market today. For 2017, it gets a refreshed look via updated bumpers and some optional safety tech such as adaptive cruise control and forward collision warning with mitigation. On the inside, it also gets a new 8.4-inch touchscreen, new rotary infotainment controls and some updated interior materials.

Avg. Large Car
Yet rival sedans from BMW and Mercedes-Benz have been a step ahead of the Quattroporte for years, and we don't really see that changing for 2017. From getting latest tech and safety features to choosing from a variety of engines and configurations, these rival sedans just have more on offer. That said, there's still room in the executive sedan class for a bit of Italian flair, and that alone might be worth the trade-off.
Edmunds' Expert Rating
Looking for a luxury sedan with flair? The 2017 Maserati Quattroporte brings unique Italian style to the class, plus a hint of athletic sportiness. But going with the Quattroporte means giving up some refinement and missing out on some of the latest tech features.
Driving
Whether you go with the standard V6 on base trim levels or the aggressive V8 in the top-of-the-line Quattroporte GTS, there's plenty of power on tap. Sport mode sharpens transmission responses and belts out a few additional spine-tingling sounds from the exhaust pipes.
Comfort
Adaptive suspension gives you the ability to adjust the ride stiffness in the Quattroporte, and plush seats make for a comfortable ride. Avoid the bigger wheels if you can, though, because they decrease ride quality significantly.
Interior
The Quattroporte has a roomy, well-appointed and likable cabin. There are nearly endless customization options for interior materials and all sorts of plush available features such as fold-out tables and quad-zone automatic climate control.
Utility
With 18.7 cubic feet of cargo space in the trunk, the Maserati Quattroporte leads the large-luxury-sedan segment. Folding rear seats make transporting longer items an easy task. It is, however, one of the longest and widest vehicles in the segment, so it's a bit harder to maneuver in tight spaces.
Technology
The new touchscreen for 2017 seems a bit out of place. Along with several buttons and knobs, it's sourced from Chrysler, and despite user-friendly controls it feels a bit subpar for the class. There are also several new, previously unavailable, safety features such as forward collision mitigation.
Which Quattroporte does Edmunds recommend?
Though the standard V6 engine might be satisfying for most buyers, we can't help but recommend the fire-breathing V8 in the Quattroporte GTS. The GTS is available with both the GranLusso and GranSport packages. Our preference is the GranLusso thanks to the safety equipment it offers (forward collision warning and mitigation with emergency braking, adaptive cruise control and lane departure warning) and luxury items like ventilated seats and a rear sunshade. This might be the most expensive version of the Quattroporte, but it's also the most desirable.
2017 Maserati Quattroporte models
The 2017 Maserati Quattroporte is a large luxury sedan with three available trim levels: S, S Q4 and GTS. With the S and S Q4, you can go with the standard equipment or upgrade to the GranLusso or GranSport packages.
In simple terms, the GranLusso is a more luxurious version of a trim level, while the GranSport is more performance-oriented. The range-topping GTS has no base version; just choose between the GranLusso and GranSport. Whatever your package preference, the Quattroporte is a stylish and attractive choice — especially when you hear the soundtrack from the two available engines.
At the bottom of the trim-level ladder, you've got the Quattroporte S, which comes with a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 (404 horsepower, 406 pound-feet of torque); an eight-speed automatic transmission (attached to rear-wheel drive); 19-inch wheels; adaptive automatic xenon headlights; automatic wipers; LED running lights and taillights; heated, power-folding auto-dimming mirrors; a sunroof; front and rear parking sensors; blind-spot monitoring; remote start; an adaptive suspension; and keyless entry and ignition.
On the inside, you get dual-zone automatic climate control, a rearview camera, heated and power-adjustable front seats, driver-seat memory functions, a folding rear seat, a power-adjustable steering wheel, wood interior trim, power rear side-window sunshades, ambient interior lighting, Bluetooth, a new 8.4-inch touchscreen, a navigation system, a Wi-Fi hotspot and a 10-speaker Harman Kardon sound system.
For the Quattroporte S, the GranLusso package adds to the standard equipment with 20-inch wheels, chrome exterior trim, black brake calipers, ventilated front seats, power-adjustable pedals, a wood and leather steering wheel, premium interior leather upholstery, a simulated-suede headliner, a power rear sunshade, forward collision warning and mitigation with emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, a surround-view camera and lane departure warning.
The GranSport offers a more performance-oriented vibe by building on the base S trim with unique 20-inch wheels, a black grille, black side skirts, red brake calipers, a sport steering wheel, sport front seats and paddle shifters on the steering wheel.
The Quattroporte S Q4 is a small step up from the standard S, and it adds all-wheel drive, a power trunklid, shift paddles, heated rear seats and a heated wood and leather steering wheel. The GranLusso and GranSport packages essentially add the same equipment to the S Q4 that they do with the base S trim.
At the top of the trim-level list is the Quattroporte GTS which gets the 3.8-liter turbo V8 (523 hp, 524 lb-ft), rear-wheel drive and some GTS badging. With the GTS, you are required to choose between the GranLusso and GranSport, which add basically the same equipment as they do on the lower trim levels.
As with most other luxury sedans in this class, there are a lot of additional options to choose from. If you're so inclined, you can get equipment including 21-inch wheels, four-zone automatic climate control, an array of wood and carbon-fiber interior trim pieces, folding rear-seat tables, a rear center console in place of the center seat (dropping passenger capacity from five to four), a rear-seat entertainment system and a Bowers & Wilkins premium audio system. Most of the upper trim-level equipment can be added as stand-alone items on lower trim levels.

The car is fantastic!.
Kevin Ode, 12/04/2015
2014 Maserati Quattroporte GTS 4dr Sedan (3.8L 8cyl Turbo 8A)
This car is absolutely fantastic! It drives great, is blazingly fast (much faster than the specs would indicate) and inside and out gorgeous. We have driven over 6k miles now and the quality is much better than expected (no rattles and everything feels solid; Feels German, looks Italian, great combo!). There are only 2 complaints: 1) The 21" wheels come only in summer tires (there are … winter tires available, but why not great all weather tires, like my 911 has?), and the traction is terrible when temperatures are below 40. You really have to deal with the nonsense of winter tires, even in Atlanta (must be the global warming...).
The 2nd and much bigger problem is the terrible support from the dealers. We have 2 dealers here and they don't seem to be too interested in returning phone calls. Even the Maserati Importer cannot get a hold of them. Just go there, get in their face and they will tell you that the (simple) recall items will take 3 days to complete and they will give you a nicely equipped Mazda 6 as a loaner... Their service is worse than that of a "reasonably priced car" dealer, absolutely unacceptable for a luxury car brand. Maserati, please go see how Porsche, Mercedes, BMW and Audi do this.
I have seen many complaints about borrowed parts (such as the Navigation system and window buttons, which come from Chrysler), but I couldn't care less. It all works well and other car companies (VW - Audi, Chevy - Cadillac etc.) do the exact same thing, no biggie.
Update: still loving car, Dealer support has been greatly improved. They now have Ghibli’s as loaners and response time is good.
Maintenance, as is to be expected, expensive: New tires, every 10 to 12,000 miles, $2500, oil change every 12,000 miles, $500, new brake pads every 20,000 miles, $1700 (front and rear).

This a drivers car, not really for techies!
Stephen D, 09/15/2018
2015 Maserati Quattroporte S Q4 4dr Sedan AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 8A)
If you want all the best new gadgets, you want fancy tech option (which you will rarely if ever use), this probably not a good choice (look at the A8, S550 or 750). But if you want a head turner with a race car spirit that is shear joy to drive, hear and walk out to morning and night then the QP6 should be at the very top of your list. Forget the naysayers, I’ve found most negative … reviews are from people who are either not really able to buy and retain the car, have jealousy issues and/or are looking for the car to be something it was never trying to be.
It has been about a year and I have now noticed a few small items that seem to be gremlins that my mechanics cannot figure out. Because there are no dealers around here this has been a real pain. I've also noticed some issues with the dash that should not happen on a car that costs this much. I've had many cars before and never had a bubble form in the dash...but alas no warranty and no dealer so I guess I'm stuck with it.
2 years later: still a great car but does come with technical/mechanicals difficulties and if you do not have a dealer nearby that can properly service the car; it will cause you great complications.

Car is a constant head turner
Jb49, 01/16/2020
2014 Maserati Quattroporte S Q4 4dr Sedan AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 8A)
My 2015 Quattroporte has been an absolute blast to drive, I drove an S550 sedan before and the two cars are very different. The Maserati is a drivers car, the wind noise at 60 and above is surprisingly loud but the roar of the engine is louder. My S550 was so comfortable, quiet, smooth & responsive but the day I traded it & I left the dealership in the Maserati I felt special. If you … want a car that makes going to the market an event test drive a Quattroporte. One caveat though.... more expensive than my Benz for all service,parts & repair

A Beast
edgebot, 10/29/2014
2014 Maserati Quattroporte GTS 4dr Sedan (3.8L 8cyl Turbo 8A)
Let's face it, this car is a beast! Very fast, very responsive, with an exhaust note akin to a deep low growl. A head turner too. So all in all, the Maserati nameplate is valid.
But, my Jaguar XJL, at half the price, is more comfortable, spacious, tech forward, and stylish. And this one is really a head turner.
So for style, comfort, pizzazz, it's the XJL.
For pure driving … fun, exhilaration, and bragging rights, pick the QP GTS.
