Overview
The 2021 Maserati Quattroporte is a large luxury sedan that has served as the Italian automaker's flagship four-door model for decades. It's big, well appointed and — as you might expect from a car hailing from Italy — fast. That speed is brought to you thanks to a pair of turbocharged engines and relatively sporty suspension and handling. That's not to say it's all about speed with the Quattroporte. All Quattroportes are loaded with features and offer handsome and feature-rich cabins with plenty of space for people and cargo. It's getting a bit long in the tooth, but a number of rolling updates have kept it from feeling too stale.

For 2021, the Quattroporte gets a new, more powerful trim level: the Trofeo. The Trofeo model replaces the GTS in the Quattroporte lineup. Besides a bump in power, the Trofeo includes a sport-tuned suspension, performance brakes and tires, and a number of styling tweaks that help it stand out in a crowd.
And it is a crowded field. The Quattroporte is an alternative to the solid but somewhat ubiquitous lineup of large German luxury sedans. Rivals include the Porsche Panamera; the Mercedes-Benz S-Class and AMG GT sedan; the BMW 7 Series, Alpina B7 and 8 Series Gran Coupe; and the Audi A7 and A8. While the Quattroporte lacks the polish and some advanced features found in its German rivals, it has a flair that's hard to replicate elsewhere. It might not stand toe-to-toe with the competition on paper, but it's hard to put a price on personality.
Which Quattroporte does Edmunds recommend?
The new V8-powered Trofeo trim might get all the headlines thanks to its 203 mph top speed and Ferrari-like soundtrack, but we suggest going with the more affordable Quattroporte S. It's still quick thanks to a turbocharged V6, and it offers tons of features. Within the S range, our pick is the luxury-oriented GranLusso model.

2021 Maserati Quattroporte models
The 2021 Maserati Quattroporte is available in two main trim levels: S and the new Trofeo trim. The S is powered by a 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 (424 horsepower, 428 lb-ft of torque) paired to an eight-speed automatic transmission. It's also available with all-wheel drive as the S Q4. The Quattroporte Trofeo uses a 3.8-liter turbocharged V8 (580 hp, 538 lb-ft) that makes more power than last year's V8-powered GTS model. All-wheel drive is not available on the Trofeo.
S
The Quattroporte S is available in three forms: S, S GranLusso and S GranSport. The luxury-oriented GranLusso and stylish GranSport models are basically upgrade packages for the standard model. All-wheel drive is available on all three. Features on the S include:

The car is fantastic!.
5 out of 5 starsKevin 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!

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.

2018 Maserati Quattroporte S GranLusso 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 8A)
I leased this Maserati in July 2017. The color is type of gray named as "Grigio ". in side is mixed brown leather and silk by famous Italian suit designer Ermenegildo Zegna. It is a heavy large sedan. It is very roomy inside. Although there are few parts from Chrysler, but those mixed with very nice stitched leather, and it really doesn't bother me. I enjoy much every morning turning on … the engine and hearing the load raspy sound of Ferrari built engine ! The seats are not too sporty like BMW or Porsche with lots of side support. They are just fine ! It takes time to learn how to use the shifter. Now after 9 months I am doing great on changing gears with shifter- no steering wheel shift paddle- If you drive more than 30 miles a day you will pay much for gas, and need more maintenance , and maybe not a every day driving car ! You don't need to show off and push the sport button for loader engine note, other cars will slow down to just take a look. Many times I heard " This is a really beautiful car " ! Formidable luxury the original race-bred luxury sedan you can drive everyday- so far no single problem. I pay about 6o $ every 2 weeks.
Car is a constant head turner

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
