The new 2019 Maserati Quattroporte is as distinctive and exclusive as its predecessors. The front gets a dominant and powerful look thanks to the Alfieri-shaped three-dimensional grille, which is pointed and imposing. The grille features vertical chrome rib elements that contrast with the depth of the ‘sharknose’ effect.
There is a choice of ten body colours in the MY19 Maserati Quattroporte range. Two of them are brand new tri-coat colours, the race-inspired Rosso Potente and the Blu Nobile. There is also a choice of nine alloy wheels in six different designs in sizes ranging from 19 to 21-inch. Brand new for MY19 are the 20-inch Perseo and the 21-inch Atlante wheels, both available in light and dark finishes.
The new Quattroporte is reported to have an aerodynamic drag coefficient of 0.28 Cd. This is thanks to the flat floor of the luxury sedan which comprises several aerodynamic features, including a NACA duct to help cool the differential without increasing drag, and flaps on the rear suspension arms to channel airflows.
Adaptive full LED headlights are fitted as standard on all Quattroporte versions for low and high beam, Daytime Running Lights (DRL), parking and turn lights, featuring Static Bending Lights and automatic height regulation.
The Quattroporte GranLusso trim is distinguishable by its front lower fascia design, featuring an elegant floating-bridge element and a subtle spoiler. It is rounded off with a chrome bumper finish and body-colour bumper profiles.
The profile incorporates side skirts, while on the rear the look is even cleaner, characterized by a sculptured retro-reflector and body-coloured spoiler. The look is completed by 20-inch Mercurio rims and black-painted brake calipers.
The Maserati Quattroporte GranSport features centre and side air intakes with dedicated design, which improves the cooling function while showcasing an aggressive front area. The lower fascia is linked to the grille with aerodynamic-inspired splits. The back is characterized by a striking composition of the central panel and the two cutouts that focus attention on the exhausts. A Black Piano spoiler completes the rear view. It is equipped with brand new 21-inch forged aluminium Atlante rims, glossy black finish on the bumpers and red brake callipers.
The latest-generation Quattroporte has set a benchmark for roominess, thanks to its long wheelbase. The dashboard features a full-width surface in a variety of exclusive and precious trims. Pieno Fiore natural leather and new veneers are available in the interior of the new Quattroporte, which also features improved infotainment graphics and climate control ergonomics.
The instrument cluster’s large, analogue rev-counter and speedometer flank a 7-inch TFT display for many of the car’s operational features. The leather-finished steering wheel is electrically adjustable for both reach and height.
The standard equipment includes a navigation system and leather, 12-way power comfort front seats with a 4-way electric lumbar support and heating function. The upper dashboard and the armrests are also upholstered in leather.
Maserati provides an exceptional degree of personalisation through the GranLusso and GranSport trim strategy. Each trim is combined with a vast range of materials for the customer to choose from, including fine woods, carbon fibre, fine-grain extended leather and the new full-grain Pieno Fiore leather. Coloured stitching contrasts with the leather colour on the upper dashboard, doors, seats, headrests, and in many other optional areas.
The MTC+ infotainment system is based on a high-resolution 8.4-inch capacitive touch screen, which features updated graphics and improved Climate Control functions for MY19 model. A double rotary knob in forged aluminium provides intuitive control of the audio volume and other functions. Also for the new model, the centre console accommodates a redesigned gearshift lever and a revised button cluster for the driving modes.
The roomy, comfortable three-seat bench offers excellent legroom in the rear. Two individual seats are also available as an exclusive option on the Quattroporte GranLusso. They feature ventilation and electrical movement. They can also be fitted with individual entertainment screens.
The rear armrest has a USB socket for charging mobile devices and two foldaway cup holders. An ashtray on the door panel is now available as an option. The rear seats are equipped with ISOFIX fittings.
The interior lighting uses an optical fibre running along the dashboard and doors, including the door handle cavities and door pockets, to give the interior a modern, classy look. The front and rear ceiling lights incorporate a diffused lighting lamp and two separate reading lights. Two LED lights concealed in the ceiling light softly illuminate the area beneath them, while the foot area is also illuminated.
The ergonomically designed dome console includes the boot lid button and a parking sensor control switch on the right of the sunroof controls, in the dome lamp area. A Valet Mode is available in the touchscreen menu that electrically locks the passenger glove box. While this mode is active, the glove box is only accessible by inserting a four-digit PIN number.
The Harman Kardon Premium Sound System is a standard feature throughout the entire Quattroporte range. The audio system uses a 12-channel, 900W amplifier with 10 speakers and a high-performance subwoofer, providing outstanding power and sound quality. Maserati also offers hi-fi enthusiasts the optional Bowers & Wilkins Surround Sound System, with 15 speakers, a 1,280W amplifier and perfectly-configured QuantumLogic Surround.
