Overview
With a moniker that translates to “four doors,” the appropriately named Maserati Quattroporte sedan will live on for a seventh generation that is set to enter the market for the 2025 model year. When it does arrive, the new Quattroporte will likely be the brand’s only four-door offering, as the mid-size Ghibli is expected to disappear. The Quattroporte’s curvaceous sheetmetal and zesty engines are its strong suits, though its luxury always felt limited, especially for a vehicle with a six-figure price tag. Knobs and switches from the Chrysler parts bin certainly didn’t help. That said, our experience with the new GranTurismo gives us high hopes for the upcoming Quattroporte, and we hope it will flaunt an interior with similarly high-end materials and upscale finishes as newer Maserati models. The Quattroporte will also get the same twin-turbo V-6 engine that’s used in the GranTurismo as well as the MC20 sports car.We also anticipate the addition of a battery-powered range-topping Folglore model, which will utilize three electric motors.
What’s New for 2025?
2025 should be the first model year for the new seventh-generation Quattroporte sedan. With the Ghibli most likely out of the picture, the Quattroporte is expected to compete with the likes of the BMW 5-series and Audi A6 rather than the 7-series and Audi A8 that rival the outgoing model.
Pricing and Which One to Buy
We expect Maserati to initially offer two different trim levels for the gas-powered Quattroporte—the entry-level Modena and elevated Trofeo—just as it does with the GranTurismo coupe. The Modena will likely offer an output of about 480 horsepower while the Trofeo will likely offer a hearty 560 horsepower, but both will draw power from the same engine in different states of tunes. Exact pricing details are not yet available, but we’re anticipating a base MSRP of around $150,000.
Engine, Transmission, and Performance
The next-gen Quattroporte will likely be propelled by a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V-6 mated exclusively to an eight-speed automatic. It’s the same engine, nicknamed “Nettuno,” that powers the new GranTurismo and spicy MC20 mid-engine sports car. We expect the V-6 to offer two different outputs: a base version 480 horsepower and a higher-performance tune with a loftier 560 horsepower. A drastically more powerful EV model is expected to offer around 800 horsepower for those who want pinnacle performance from their chic Italian sedan.
