Fast forward to nowdays, Quattroporte's principles remain much the same. The 2019 Quattroporte offers abundant, elegantly crafted space. And the sculpted styling, undeniably aggressive yet eternally graceful, has all the evocative power you would expect from Maserati.
Luxury, scale and space meet phenomenal dynamic capabilities in the Maserati Quattroporte. The 2019 model is offered in GranLusso and GranSport trims, each comprehensively equipped according to your precise personal wishes.
The Quattroporte offers huge, race-bred power from Ferrari-built V8 and V6 petrol engines, along with a mighty V6 turbodiesel.
Comprehensive safety
Maserati made safety a top priority when designing the Quattroporte. So not only does it provide mile after mile of high-powered luxury, it also gives you complete peace of mind.
Advanced Driving Assistance Systems
The Quattroporte can be equipped with an impressively comprehensive range of Advanced Driving Assistance Systems. It means even greater peace of mind, whether you’re on an exclusive grand tour or a dash through the city.
Suspensions: double wishbone and Skyhook
Double wishbone suspension layouts are a race-bred tradition at Maserati. The Quattroporte also features Skyhook suspension, with shock absorbers delivering continuous damping variation. The system uses sensors that monitor the movement of each wheel and the car’s body to determine the road conditions and how the car is being driven. It then instantly adjusts the settings of each damper accordingly.
Electric Power Steering
The system adapts the steering weight according to speed, being lighter and easy to turn when manoeuvring in a tight spot, for instance. Conversely it has a weightier, more connected feel at high speeds. All Quattroporte versions feature EPS as standard.
Brakes
All versions of the Maserati Quattroporte feature powerful Brembo brakes carefully matched to engine performance. The discs are dual-cast, combining the strength of cast iron with the lightness of aluminium to reduce unsprung mass and, therefore, increase handling prowess.
The interior of the Quattroporte is built around a driver interface that is intuitive, uncluttered and simple to use.
The instrument cluster features large analogue gauges for the tachometer and speedometer, alongside a 7” TFT display.
The 8.4” Maserati Touch Control Plus (MTC+) unit takes pride of place at the centre of the Quattroporte dashboard. With very few buttons plus a highly responsive interface, it is designed to help the driver maintain focus on the road ahead and mastering it is intuitive and easy. In addition, MTC+ controls the front seat heating, as well as the ventilation, steering wheel heating and the operation of the rear sunblind, where fitted. The screen also displays the rear view, with guidelines, for the reversing camera.
The state-of-the-art system features both Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto® mirroring functions. In addition, for iPhone® users, Apple’s Siri® system acts as a personal assistant, allowing them to carry out tasks using voice command. Through naturally spoken language, it is possible to make a call or access music, messages, reminders, emails, websites and much more.
The infotainment system is also completed by Aux-in, USB sockets and the SD card reader.
The Harman Kardon Premium Sound system, fitted as standard, offers elevated levels of audio refinement, with every component uniquely tailored to perfectly match the Quattroporte interior. To achieve this, Harman Kardon sound engineers worked very closely with the development team at Maserati. The core of the system is a state-of-the-art, 900-watt amplifier, delivering rich and detailed sound quality, whatever the source, be it radio, MP3 player, iPhone® or audio streaming device. No fewer than 12 independent channels are deployed, for superb balance within the car environment. A special high-performance subwoofer handles the low-end frequencies with ease, while the mid-range drivers and tweeters ensure that every instrument and every artist can be appreciated to the full. And with the 10 highpowered speakers carefully distributed throughout the cabin, this system guarantees sublime sound for all on board the Quattroporte.
Driving a Maserati is an emotional experience, with every piece of technology and every trim detail designed to connect on a human level. The same can be said of the Bowers & Wilkins Surround Sound system. This optional audio package is the product of 50 years of Bowers & Wilkins’ countless hours of testing and even extensive research in the field of psychoacoustics – the science of how people react emotionally to sound. 15 speakers, with mid-range drivers and rear-woofers made from aramid fibre, have been strategically built into the car’s architecture, while a 1,280-watt amplifier ensures immersive sound for all on board. Advanced aluminium tweeters capture the faintest audio subtleties, while a rock-solid bass is guaranteed by Rohacell® in the system’s bass drivers – Rohacell® being a stiff, highly resilient material often used in the construction of rockets and aircraft. The system features QuantumLogic™® Surround Sound Technology, which digitally remodels signal streams and reconstructs the original recording of a musical piece, creating a concert hall experience in the car. Along with this, the Clari-Fi™ function automatically restores detail lost in digitally compressed music, and removes distortions caused by the process in real time. The Bowers & Wilkins system is compatible with most disc formats and features a built-in USB connector for a smartphone, iPod or MP3 player. Alternatively, tracks can be streamed directly either via Bluetooth®, Apple CarPlay® or Android Auto®.
The Maserati Quattroporte is equipped to meet every need when it comes to comfort and convenience – as befits a large, luxurious performance sedan.
Climate Control with Air Quality Sensor
The standard automatic dual-zone climate control adjusts ventilation intensity according to outdoor temperature to make sure nothing compromises your comfort, whatever the weather. As an option, the Quattroporte can be equipped with a four-zone climate control system, with two more controls in the rear part of the central tunnel allowing passengers to select their own personal settings and individual airflow distribution.
Keyless go / Keyless Entry
The standard Keyless Entry function enables you to open the doors or boot via the handles, without touching the key fob. But the best is still to come; marvel as the engine roars into life the moment you press the ignition button.
Power Tailgate with Kick Sensor
The power tailgate can be opened and closed automatically by simply pressing a button on the tailgate itself or the interior dome light panel. There is also a kick sensor, which is particularly handy when your hands are full.
Glasswork
The Quattroporte offers, as standard, the electrochromic door mirrors, which darken progressively as the light intensity from behind increases, as well as a power rear sunblind. It also has high thermal and noise insulation glass in the front and rear windows. Dark-tinted privacy glass at the rear is available as an option.
