The 2019 Maserati Quattroporte is a large luxury sedan that packs in all of the flair you expect for something designed and built in Italy. Its Ferrari-derived engines don't hurt either, especially when that exhaust note starts to sing. The Quattroporte goes head to head with flagship luxury sedans such as the BMW 7 Series, Mercedes-Benz S-Class and Porsche Panamera. And like the Porsche, Maserati has put a distinct effort into making sure the Quattroporte is fun and engaging to drive.

Avg. Large Car
The Quattroporte puts an emphasis on style, too, with sleek lines and a sharp and well-appointed interior. Unfortunately, the Quattroporte can't match the fine polish of its German rivals. Those cars offer better and more refined technology features, more efficient powertrain offerings and a more comfortable ride.
We love the Quattoporte's personality, but it's hard to recommend given the trade-offs, especially given the premium Maserati commands.
zzdcar' Expert Rating
Which Quattroporte does zzdcar recommend?
While the Quattroporte is available with a powerful turbocharged V6 engine, we suggest stepping up to the GTS GranLusso trim and its 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8. The GTS and its engine are also available in the GranSport trim, though we think the features and tech in the GranLusso make it the more desirable car.
