Overview

Though you might not have seen one in a while, the Maserati Quattroporte, in its current form, has been around for 10 years. Available in rear- or all-wheel drive and with three different engines, including a Ferrari-based twin-turbo V8, the Quattroporte wraps a considerable amount of performance in traditional Italian style and luxury. Unchanged for 2023, the Maserati remains one of the most exclusive sport sedans on the market.

Even in its base trim, the Quattroporte proves to be an enjoyable drive down a good road. At its peak, the Trofeo model cranks out a scintillating 580 horsepower and holds its own against some of the best German sport sedans. But the Quattroporte starts to show its age when it comes to newer rivals. The BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe and Mercedes-Benz AMG GT sedan, for example, both have the performance to match the big Maserati and are outfitted with more impressive infotainment technology and advanced driver aids. And while the Porsche Panamera doesn't quite have the panache of the Maserati, its driving dynamics are beyond reproach.

For buyers who place a high value on individuality and exclusivity, the Maserati Quattroporte could be worth a look. Otherwise, the aforementioned rivals will likely be better choices for your next performance-oriented luxury sedan.

Which Quattroporte does Edmunds recommend?

We recommend selecting the Modena trim. It not only comes with a more powerful engine than the GT model, but it's also the only version of the Quattroporte available with all-wheel drive. We also prefer the more aggressive styling of the Modena over the GT.

Maserati Quattroporte models

For 2023, the Quattroporte is available in three trim levels: GT, Modena and Trofeo. All three use different powertrains, and only the Modena trim is available with all-wheel drive, which Maserati refers to as the Modena Q4.

GT
The Quattroporte comes fairly well equipped from the get-go. Standard features on the GT trim include:

3.0-liter turbocharged V6 (345 horsepower, 369 lb-ft of torque)
Eight-speed automatic transmission
20-inch wheels
Adaptive suspension dampers
Adaptive LED headlights (swivel as you turn the steering wheel for better illumination in curves)
Sunroof
Keyless entry and ignition
Power-adjustable, heated front seats
Leather upholstery
Heated steering wheel
Dual-zone automatic climate control
10.1-inch touchscreen display with navigation
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration

Blind-spot warning (alerts you if a vehicle in the next lane over is in your blind spot)
Parking sensors (alert you to obstacles that may not be visible in front of or behind the vehicle when parking)

Automatic emergency braking (warns if a front impact is imminent and applies the brakes if you don't respond in time)
