2024 Maserati Quattroporte

Maserati is a brand that invokes a marriage of luxury and racing heritage. The Maserati Quattroporte has long been the flagship sedan of the Italian brand, and it looks like it’s at the end of the line in its current generation. The Quattroporte has always been on the sporty and stylish side of its class, and the 2024 model is no exception. Now available exclusively in the powerful and luxurious Modena Ultima trim, this Quattroporte is going out with a bang before it enters a new generation for 2025, likely with an electric variant.

The Maserati Quattroporte competes with the Porsche Panamera and more mainstream full-size luxury sedans like the BMW 7 Series, Mercedes-Benz S-Class, and Audi S8.

We’ve spent hundreds of hours driving and evaluating this generation of full-size luxury sedans, including the Maserati Quattroporte.

Model year 2024 ushers in the Modena Ultima, the sole trim choice for the Maserati Quattroporte this year. The 572-horsepower turbo V8 available in the Trofeo trim of earlier model years is gone, leaving the 424-horsepower turbo V6 as the only engine option.

Most likely, 2024 is the final model year for this generation of the Maserati Quattroporte. We expect an all-new Quattroporte with an electric variant to arrive for the 2025 model year.

The 2024 Maserati Quattroporte starts at $139,000. That’s for the sole trim available this year, the Modena Ultima model. That’s the manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) and doesn’t include the $1,995 factory-to-dealer delivery fee (destination charge).

Flagship luxury sedans aren’t known for bargain pricing, but the Quattroporte is expensive, even compared to its closest rivals. The BMW 760i, Audi S8, and Mercedes-Benz S580e all produce more than 500 horsepower at a price point of around $125K. Even a Porsche Panamera with performance similar to the Quattroporte is more affordable.

Before buying a Quattroporte, check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to know what you should really pay. Maserati Quattroporte resale value is about average for the segment.

The 2024 Maserati Quattroporte is powered by a 424-horsepower turbocharged V6 engine matched with an 8-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive (AWD). It didn’t take much time testing for us to become addicted to the snappy acceleration and intoxicating sound of this engine. The Quattroporte’s top competitors have more powerful engine options, and we miss the V8 in the discontinued Trofeo model. But this V6 has a unique character that speaks to the exotic Italian heritage of the Maserati name.

There’s no question that the Quattroporte is on the sportier side of big luxury sedans. It’s for the enthusiast with a big budget who prefers a firm suspension system and raucous exhaust note versus a cloud-like ride quality and a silent cabin. This Skyhook adaptive suspension system shines in the curves, but it still yields a comfy ride on the highway.

Fuel Economy

The Maserati Quattroporte is one of the least fuel-efficient sedans in its class. It has an EPA-estimated fuel economy rating of 20 mpg combined. That’s worse than the 6-cylinder, AWD variants of the BMW 7 Series, Audi A8, and Mercedes-Benz S-Class. Also of note, the 7 Series, S-Class, and Porsche Panamera all have plug-in hybrid variants available with much lower fuel costs than the Quattroporte. Unsurprisingly, premium gas is required for this Maserati.

More Quattroporte fuel economy information is available at the EPA’s website.

The interior of the Quattroporte is nice by anyone’s standards, but the quality is a bit mixed for a luxury car with a 6-digit starting price. We have high expectations for interior quality in this class, and we can’t help but notice some parts bin sharing with cheaper products in the Stellantis family from brands like Dodge and Jeep. That’s forgivable in value-oriented luxury vehicles, but nobody buys a Maserati because it’s a bargain.

That being said, the Quattroporte benefits from comfortable seats, quality leather, and some nice customization options like open-pore wood and genuine carbon fiber trim.

The seating space is pretty roomy in the Quattroporte, but it’s not as spacious as some rivals in this class, like the BMW 7 Series and Mercedes-Benz S-Class. With 35 inches of legroom, the Maserati’s rear seat space is closer to a midsize luxury sedan. Limo-esque offerings from BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Audi all have more than 43 inches of rear legroom. The 18.7 cubic-foot trunk is also a little smaller than average in this class.

The exterior styling is a strong suit of the Maserati Quattroporte. It forgoes the typically restrained aesthetics in this class and instead uses the curvy, exotic styling you’d want to see on an Italian luxury car. Maserati calls this a “race-bred” sedan, and that’s exactly what it looks like.

Turbo V6
The Ferrari-derived turbocharged V6 powering the Quattroporte delivers quick acceleration and one of our favorite exhaust notes.

Q4 AWD system
The standard Q4 all-wheel-drive system improves the handling, acceleration, and all-season traction of the Quattroporte.

Skyhook suspension
The Skyhook adaptive suspension system makes the Quattroporte more comfortable on the highway and sportier in the corners.

Maserati Intelligent Assistant
The Maserati Intelligent Assistant infotainment system uses a 10.1-inch screen, an Android Automotive operating system, and Amazon Alexa voice assistant.

Rich audio systems
The standard Harman Kardon audio system brings excellent sound quality to the luxurious cabin of this Maserati, but audiophiles will want to upgrade to the even better Bowers & Wilkins 15-speaker setup.

Luxurious materials
High-quality leather seating, an Alcantara headliner, and Zegna silk bring a luxurious feel to the cabin of the Quattroporte, and it’s available with your choice of carbon fiber or open-pore wood trim.

The Maserati Quattroporte Modena Ultima employs a powerful, Ferrari-derived turbo V6. This is the same powertrain in the Modena Q4 model in previous years. We already miss the V8 in the Quattroporte Trofeo that was discontinued for 2024, but the gutsy and sweet-sounding V6 was always the more sensible choice.

This 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 is rated at 424 horsepower and 428 lb-ft of torque. Output is sent to all four wheels via an 8-speed automatic transmission.

4-Year/50,000-Mile Warranty

The Maserati Quattroporte is backed by a 4-year/50,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty. This coverage is typical for a luxury sedan.

Safety

The Maserati Quattroporte is well-equipped with standard safety tech features like automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane-keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, and more.

This luxury sedan hasn’t been crash-tested by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) or National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
