Overview

The 2012 Maserati Quattroporte Sedan is a fullsize sedan offered in 2 trims, starting off at a base MSRP of $127,250. For that price, it mainly competes with the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, the BMW Alpina B7, and the Jaguar XJ Supersport. Between 2 trims, the Maserati Quattroporte Sedan offers a single powertrain with two different outputs. The base engine is a 4.7L V8 engine capable of making 425 horsepower and 361 lb-ft of torque. If more power is required, the same engine puts out 433 horsepower on the GT S model. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a 6-speed automatic transmission. The Maserati Quattroporte Sedan reaches 60 mph from zero in 5.5 seconds on its base engine, which gets pumped up to 5.3 seconds with the high-output engine. Irrespective of the powertrain, it returns with a combined fuel economy of 15 mpg. While we’re on the topic of choices, the 16 striking colors the Maserati Quattroporte Sedan comes in really pull you towards itself. 

Buying Advice

Our recommendation is the base S trim, which seems to offer better value for money along with similar power figures. Other notable features include 19-inch wheels, larger brakes, polished Wenge wood trim, etc.
