Maserati Quattroporte pricing revealed

Maserati has announced Australian pricing for the updated Quattroporte sedan, which is now on sale.

First unveiled in June and then shown off at the Paris motor show in September, the new model brings tweaked styling, new technology and added equipment. The update coincides with a price increase on some models, with the range starting from $210,000 (plus on-road costs), moving as high as $349,990 (plus on-road costs), a price ceiling that is $20,000 higher than before.

The Quattroporte, like every Maserati model from 2017 onwards, will receive a new, redesigned dash to accommodate a brand new 8.4-inch, high-resolution touch-screen infotainment system that accommodates both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

The flagship will be available in two different trim models, the GranLusso and the GranSport. The former focuses on comfort while the latter plays on the Quattroporte’s sporty character – channelled via 21-inch wheels, red brake calipers and improved cooling.

All Quattroporte models sport new styling elements front and rear. The tweaks include revised front grille with vertical slats which incorporate an air shutter system that purportedly reduces aerodynamic drag.

The updated Quattroporte introduces Maserati’s new safety and technology suite, dubbed Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) package. It includes Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go, Blind Spot Alert, Lane Departure Warning, Forward Collision Warning with Advanced Brake Assist and Automated Emergency Braking.

Maserati has also improved the “aero-acoustic” comfort of all sedan models, doing so by adopting new technologies that reduce cabin noise through improved sound insulation. In addition, to enhance the quality of passenger comfort Maserati has specified an Air Quality Sensor as standard across the sedan range.

In terms of powertrains, the standard 3.0-litre twin-turbo Quattroporte has been boosted 15kW to 257kW overall, reducing its 0-100km/h time by 0.1sec to 5.5.

The rest of the range is unchanged in outputs, including the GTS flagship.
