Though there’s still much lively debate when it comes to defining what a “sedan” is, the current definition implies some essential characteristics.
A sedan, also known as “saloon”, is a closed-roof passenger car, designed in a three-box configuration, these three distinct compartments are called engine, passenger and cargo respectively. This car has three fixed pillars, simply identified as A, B, and C, pillar B is located between the front and rear windows and is considered a typical feature of this car type.
Maserati created the concept of a four-door full-size luxury sedan with a real Gran Turismo soul in it but the concept and designs of Maserati sedans kept on evolving.
Today Maserati interprets the concept of sedan in a way that’s even closer to sportiness and elegance, with two incredible models: the Quattroporte and the Ghibli.
A grand-scale icon
The Quattroporte V sold a record number of 25200 cars and won no fewer than 57 international awards, so designing its heir was an incredibly delicate task. The sixth generation of the Quattroporte started from another blank page, being the first model to be officially designed by a Maserati-only team. The Quattroporte maintains an unmistakable, timeless silhouette and combines the luxurious soul of a limousine and the spirit of a grand-touring car.
