Maserati unveils upgrades to its lineup at 2016 Paris Motor Show

Maserati presented its entire range at the 2016 Paris Motor Show with some important updates. The 2017 Model Year (MY17) saloons remain faithful to their heritage while offering unmistakable class, top-quality performance, and a thrilling yet comfortable driving experience; which means a more desirable premium saloon than ever before.

Starting with their interiors, Maserati's MY17 saloons benefit from substantial upgrades as well as new technical content. The new central dashboard has been redesigned to accommodate a high-resolution 8.4-inch screen with multi-touch technology.

The new infotainment system is compatible with both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone mirroring functions. The new design also features a rotary knob to control the main functions.

From a technological standpoint, a new package of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) is available and includes Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go, Blind Spot Alert, Lane Departure Warning, Forward Collision Warning with Advanced Brake Assist, and Automated Emergency Braking. An additional Surround View Camera is available in combination with the ADAS package.

All the saloons have been upgraded in terms of aero-acoustic comfort, and are once again class-leading. Thanks to the adoption of new technologies, significant improvements in noise insulation and reduced cabin noise have been achieved. To further improve passenger comfort, an Air Quality Sensor is now standard.

Maserati's flagship - the new Quattroporte - is being launched with an exterior restyling and a new dedicated range strategy, introduced with the GranLusso and GranSport trims. These two highly distinctive trims are available as an upgrade for all Quattroporte V6 versions (Quattroporte Diesel, Quattroporte, Quattroporte S, Quattroporte S Q4). Both trims will be priced at the same level across the range.

The top-of-the-range version, the Quattroporte GTS, which features the twin-turbo V8, will be available exclusively with either the GranLusso or GranSport trims as standard.
