Overview

The 2018 Maserati Quattroporte Sedan makes for an excellent contender in the fullsize luxury sedan segment. With three trims on offer, the Maserati Quattroporte has a base MSRP of $105,600, with prices going all the way up to MSRP $118,600 competing directly with the Porsche Panamera 4 Executive Sedan, the BMW 7 Series Sedan, and the Mercedes-Benz S-Class Sedan. Only a 3.0L twin-turbocharged V6 engine is offered, mated to an 8-Speed Automatic transmission. Together, they produce 424 horsepower and 428 lb-ft of torque. Accelerating from 0-60 in 4.4 seconds, the Quattroporte maintains a combined fuel economy of 18 MPG. Maserati offers the Quattroporte in 11 stunning colors, with the Rosso Folgore Metallic being a particular favorite of ours.

Buying Advice

The 2018 Maserati Quattroporte Sedan is an impressive combination of luxury and performance from Maserati. There are three trims available and we recommend going for the S GranLusso trim. It adds some notable features including ventilated front seats, premium leather upholstery, forward collision warning and mitigation with emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, a surround-view camera, and lane departure warning over the base trim.
