I like the interior. Simple and classy. Doesn't need dual high-res screens and all the gimmicks. Love how it's true to itself. Uconnect is still one of the best in the business. I'd take it over a lot of the bloat pomp that's out there.
@@fgeiger41 Too bad the Maserati uses cheap plastic galore and shares parts with Chevy.. Lexus LC500 and Porsche Panamera does this stuff but WAY better and more reliably.
On the road, nothing beats a Quattroporte in terms of it's arresting beauty, how stylish it is, and sheer presence. And it's also less common than even a Rolls Royce. For what it's origins are, that being a small production manufacturer, we should be thankful that Maserati still moves forward, giving us their product offering as an alternative to what else is available out there. That said, it is also doing a decent job at keeping up with other mass producers in terms of technology. Still, other brands aren't as emotive as this one is.
If this car didn't have the Chrysler parts and the plastics that some car reviewers mentioned it would be a masterpiece because in terms of looks there's no other sedan as beautiful as this one
Ever since I was a little boy I've always liked Maserati. They were always so different. I think they need to hook up with a German automaker to update their car interiors.
Who really cares about some small parts of the interior when you are still surrounded by the most soft leather and alcantara and, especially, you are driving a Maserati, and a car with one of the best style and personality in the market?
I purchased at 68k at maserati quattroporte 2016 with 4k mile... Sq4 like this one in the video.. I get compliments everywhere i go.. With mercedes and bmw? U are driving the dad car.
Loll its cool that u were able to find a quattro at a decent(?) price, but just because it has the Italian vibe doesnt mean it can outrun Mercedes or BMW. There's a reason why many CEOs and chairmen prefer Mercedes S full option.
@@chobe6740 Mercedes S has more history its the flagship of large luxury saloons class. The S Class is like Rolex but it has its strong equals/competitors if that reference makes sense. The 7 series while a solid built luxury sedan for me personally has never had same appeal but thats just a matter of opinion vs fact. The Maserati for me while not loaded with tech has the engine, Ferrari DNA and again much rarer to see on the road.
thepeeps07 that’s because they’re smart not because they can’t afford it. Every wannabe rapper and guy who wants an exotic but can’t afford a Lamborghini has one
Vile Nation Gaming oh ok...that makes zero sense. Look up the meaning of exclusivity. Maserati's are a rare breed, not a dime a dozen. Someone that can afford a $140,000.00 sedan would hardly be a "wanna be rapper" and could most likely afford a Lamborghini. Those "rappers" you generalize gravitate to Escalades and used Mercedes Benz. Show me a vid where they drive a Maserati. What I thought.
thepeeps07 See you miss the point. No one who is smart buys this car new for a 140K. When I’m two years it goes for 40K... That’s why you see so many wannabes driving them now. Everyone who wants to say “Oh I drive a Maserati “ has this car or the Ghibli.
@@vilenationgaming wrong again. Your point is not backed up by facts. Maintaining it is much more than a Benz and BMW. Insurance also is more expensive. They also keep their value better than Mercedes or BMW. Do the research. And the Quattroporte is 40K more than the Ghibli.
Iceberg 47 BMW M5’s MSRP is $112k without options so... Not quite a difference and to be honest The Quattroporte deserves every penny. The looks, the sound, the interior...it has everything
$140k for the 3.8 L Twin Turbo V-8 on the Quattroporte GTS Gransport...if you have Maserati, BMW, and Mercedes then you know just how special this Maserati is when given the daily choice...I don't consider them comparable...Maserati is a heavy car but is sporty with performance to match its speed. It's presence is demanding! Worth every bit of its asking price to me...
Iceberg 47 Don’t listen to them they are just “Italian” biased snobs, the BMW M5 is better than this car is every way. The M5 will be more reliable at the end, has better build quality, is actually worth the MSRP figure and has more horsepower. This car has an awful transmission, interior outdated as all hell for the money you pay and shares too many parts with Chrysler products it’s a big no for me.
The difference between a Maserati and a german car is the style. This Quattroporte is truly beautiful; I can't state the same for Audi or Mercedes- Benz.
Please carwow share the engine specifications & overall compare the bentley flying spur with the Maybach's first SUL and Maserati Quattroporte by clarifying with full details of manufacturer and the number of customers around the world.
Sad but true. As a Maserati fan I agree that the company has seen better times. Let's hope they'll fix things up with the restyling in 2020 (a general innovation of all the current models: the Alfieri will succeed the GranTurismo, the Ghibli, Levante and QP will be improved in every way to reach the rivals) : (
@@EhM-xt7pl Same here I'm hoping as well. Maseratti use to be a top of the line brand that everyone wanted a piece of but now they are really losing their glorious heritage. I hope FCA really starts to focus on bringing the quality of this once amazing company back to it's roots.
I would take any italian over any german any time. This car is worth the money. The looks, the sound, the overall buit quality beats any gernan. Plus more people would look at this one that would at a german. No manufacturer makes stylish cars like italians do.
Its funny to see how people have set in their mind italian quality being bad and the germans being good. My ex boss had a Cayenne and that car had some very shitty plastics. VW amarok is another one and many many other german ones specially vw's. Dont forget Maserati uses same quality leather as Ferrari and Maserati is a luxury car, not any cheap piece of crap. Now that is where the germans win, cuz they managed to brain wash the world making the world think that all german things are good, are the best but its far from being true. Spend time with many cars and you will see how german cars are not that well built as people say. When cars are new all is fine. Give it 10 years then you will see.
I just don't get how all the manufacturers can slip in a V6 , slap on a few turbos and still charge the same or more than when previous models where V8 or had two more cylinders... i.e v10 to v8. What I am missing?
Sat in one yesterday without driving, here are my thoughts. *Exterior:* Beautiful exterior looks. Super imposing and sharp style. *Interior:* Disappointing for its class. Outdated tech. Cheap FCA materials clashing with beautiful wood, comfy leather and an elegant clock. The rear cup holders were super flimsy.
Having had the opportunity to drive one for a day (SQ4 Gransport), and I would tend to agree with you. I would add though that they have done a good job of keeping the majority of cheap FCA parts out of the cockpit, but they're more prominent in the back seats. Because of being the driver I never noticed them and none of my passengers did either (admittedly I did have 6 people in it at one point); none of them mentioned the poor quality in the rear, but they were more enthralled simply from being in a Maserati. My biggest issue was the turbo lag and the slow shifts on hard acceleration, as well as the rather lackluster technology. When turning off cruise control and lane keep assist, the notification would stay on the centre screen until I had shut the car off, opened a door, and restarted it. Bluetooth pairing also left a lot to be desired at times. As well, the left hand turn signal lines up perfectly with the speedometer needle at 30-40kph, the speed at which the majority of turns are taken. Its knit picky, I know, but when playing music at even a reasonable volume, you will find yourself double checking to ensure the signal is actually on. I would definitely consider purchasing one in the future as a daily driver, simply because with their absolutely abysmal resale value, who really cares what happens to it.
@@cameronabrams3285 I own a 2018 Ghibli S Q4, I partially agree with your impressions, but I would add a consideration. You are driving a MASERATI. Maserati has never been known for its top-notch tech features. It's all about the emotions, the prestige, the exhaust note (best in the market), the style and the elegance. It needs to be appreciated by enthusiast. We see so much hate on our cars on the internet, but still, in real life, we get so much appreciation everywhere we go (at least this is my experience). Nerds and haters, are much better off looking to other brands if all they look for is having a tablet with wheels.

So, the Maserati Window Switch is the same as the Mercedes Benz part that was passed on to Chrysler/Fiat cars. So do you call Mercedes a Chrysler? At 19 different parts as buttons, switches sunshade at $3500 dollars in the Quattroporte. ..........so who “really owns” the window switch? I would rather have these buttons that are none sticky.

Also , Material alone for the "Engine aluminum block" for a Pentastar V6 is $4,379.47 dollars the "modification" material alone of the Engine assembly $27,247 dollars. Some modification are compression ratio, engine timing, forced induction. Just because the block is similar doesn’t mean they way it functions is the same. It’s a high performance engine with 150 more HP which the Italians added to the so-called original Mercedes design. So, is it a Chrysler?................Mmmmm........ No .

Modern Maserati are built in Ferrari plant The car roars from a Ferrari built engine, aluminum engine block only is from south Carolina assembled in Italy. Even the oil filter is by Ferrari. Ferrari artisans furnish and assemble the Italian leather, real wood, and Alcontera interior. Mmmm So, what Chrysler car has that? Maserati Transmission shift quality.

Maserati The Range Rover and Jaguar compete strongly with its high performance and beauty values, but the agents, especially in Saudi Arabia, need to support young men and women in marketing through maintenance and spare parts at a reasonable price... 👌
@@Chrisp707- I doubt it will suck more more than a diesel a6... Audi never managed to produce "good" or "engaging" cars in it's short history, but the latest generations are just outright dreadful.
Hey Man...How Bout >"Accidently" < sending the key to that to me here Down in West Virginia...I wont take it down all the -Old Countr-E Roads- first day anyways.. haha! Love the exhaust on that thing!
ferrari has been supplying engines to maserati since 2002, so i dont believe ghibli is the only model that has a ferrari engine, all of maseratis use ferrari engines. however ferrari recently announced they will be supplying engines to maserati
I leased one from 2016-2018. Engine was good but the craftsmanship is horrendous! Besides the large gaps and loose panels, poor craftsmanship = creaking interior. First 2 months the car was good. Then after about 2,000 miles,..I couldn't wait for the end of the lease. I should have gotten the Z06 (which I drive now). Corvette is a terrific value.
SOA, stale on arrival. When it's time for a 6-figure exec sedan, it's E63S wagon time, for me at least or the Panameta Sport Turismo thing. Why waste time with a trunk?
It's a 4 seater ferrari with actual massage seats. Again, It's a ferrari Engine in a non-ferrari car. Its like mac os in a non macbok laptop which should actually cost more than the macbook. No supercar can bring the feel of maserati. The feel of wanting to go speed without sticking a rear spoiler. It's the only supercar you cant imagine sticking a rear-spoiler. Maserati is a feeling to which even ferrari surrendered it's engine.
I was pretty convinced, I think it’s beautiful and stuff but damn when I heard 140k I thought of M5 and E63 stuff, the interior is better and tech also more powerful!! The M5 and E63 would murder this Maserati. 140k ? That’s why they don’t sell, more like 80k
How does Maserati still have this underwhelming of performance figures? Why would you buy this with a 4.8 0-60 when BMW and Mercedes are in the low 3's? I love the looks and the sound, but every car they sell is massively underpowered.
@@whosdondada Yes......that is after 5 years ...the going rate T_Coook said ... "Might as well wait for depreciation after 6 months, price will be $15k for a 2019"
Am I the only one who loves Maserati's car and will pay anything for them? They look so mean and sporty, yet they provide the confort you need
The SOUND, the LOOK, the AGGRESSION. Underrated and completely show stopping. My favorite car on the market today!!!

Having driven one of these for several hours, I believe your review is spot on! Beautiful car, but in my opinion it should be under $100k.
yes it doesn't worth that price i just don't understand why maserati is this expensive while you can get same luxury way cheaper with the other models
It was over for maser when they bought out the Bi-Turbo. Nothing good has come from them since. I'm really surprised they haven't bitten the dust.
utubecomment21 GranTurismo? 4200? Quattroporte? Even the Bi-Turbo based Shamal was very desirable. All very good cars. Ferrari turned them around.

The Pentaster v6 does 275 HP ................."Google it... Ferrari F160 engine" ..also Look-up ............Designed by Maserati and built in Modena Italy by Ferrari. "Who its made - Dream Cars," that highlights the V6 QuattroporteS Q4 that is being assembled, painted in Turin facility in Italy. These are not actors or a stage in this documentary..........................
Modern Maserati are built in Ferrari plant The car roars from a Ferrari built engine, aluminum engine block only is from south Carolina assembled in Italy. Even the oil filter is by Ferrari. Ferrari artisans furnish and assemble the Italian leather, real wood, and Alcontera interior. Mmmm So, what Chrysler car has that?
Maserati Transmission shift quality. The 8HP transmission from German supplier ZF is quick enough to serve sports cars and graceful enough for large luxury sedans, and it combines those elements of speed and smoothness whether it’s installed in an Aston Martin, a Rolls-Royce, or a Jeep. At $9,581 dollars
The UConnect entertainment monitor/system is by Chrysler installed by Ferrari and one of the best in the industry. At $2,891 dollars

So, I did pricing out of the Chrysler (FCA)
car parts only shown above. This comes out to be a not cheap.......................around $21,000 dollars
Could get a used one for around 65k which isn't bad at all.
38k where i live (Canadian dollar)
Cabin is a bit of a letdown? What is he talking about? I’d rather have this than S class or 7series. Had them both. Nothing but problems. This is different. God job Maserati.
Maserati The Range Rover and Jaguar compete strongly with its high performance and beauty values, but the agents, especially in Saudi Arabia, need to support young men and women in marketing through maintenance and spare parts at a reasonable price... 👌
Depreciation on this car is outrageous. Maintenance as well. V6 with low mpg, wtf? Mercedes, BMW, Lexus win. $140K is a joke!
Love my 2019 S6.... but I also love the Maserati my wife says only one of the two yes dear 😂🥃
Keep the A6 the Maserati sucks more than you think
@@Chrisp707- I doubt it will suck more more than a diesel a6...
Audi never managed to produce "good" or "engaging" cars in it's short history, but the latest generations are just outright dreadful.

Have always wanted to see Norway!! Hopefully, I'll make it there someday.
@@stevehammes welcome bro! would be cool to hang out and show you around!!
When is this or the convertible due for a redesign?
Go to the last line of the piece 😉
Beautiful 😍😍😍
Can you also review the Quattroporte GTS?
Would love to! I'll check with Maserati.
Listen to it though!
5:30 Those are old power window controls that Maserati used to recline the second row seats. Smh.
So true!
Beautiful car. Car needs message seats at that price point.
I’m all in.
How tall are you?
6’ 1”
The Ghibli has made Maserati a joke. It's going to be hard for them to overcome that and become a prestige brand again.
Astute observation.
A Ferrari-class V6, with the power output exactly as in Mercedes A45S with a V4 engine, at 421bhp
V4 😂😂😂😂
Too many switch gear straight out of other FCA group products. Is the engine actually sourced from Ferrari if Ferrari is not owned by FCA?
HM Car Reviews you are right but it is sourced from Ferrari.
How about Mesarati Estate Quattroporte
Rajesh MB are You insane? It's not Audi A6 Avant...
$121K but halogen trunk lights
Yes, because when you buy a $500k Rolls Royce or Bentley, or a $300K Ferrari, all you are looking for is what kind of lights are in the trunk. Lol
I'll wait on my judgement until Doug gets his hands on one
Doug who???
TestDriveNow Reviews by Auto Critic Steve Hammes Demuro of course
Ross I think I’ve heard of him 😉
News Flash, Doug DeMuro said it was garbage.
@@Longhorn-s7z Doug also dresses like garbage and gets off slamming cars
The Quattroporte gts has a v8
Im convinced
Hey Man...How Bout >"Accidently" < sending the key to that to me here Down in West Virginia...I wont take it down all the -Old Countr-E Roads- first day anyways.. haha! Love the exhaust on that thing!
Ha!! I always hope that the OEMs will "accidentally" forget to pick these cars up from me ;-)
A Maserati that does more than 175... life's been good. Joe Walsh approved...
Good. You said it for me ;-)
You said it in your previous Quatrroporte review...
I'd rather have a Chrysler version of this with a 6.2 Hemi. Probably would top out at 70k
Amazing car 🔥🔥🔥🔥💖
Its a decent car, but in my opinion it's not worth the 6 figures price. I'd rather opt for an S63, RS7 or M760Li if I was spending that much money.
The problem of the German cars is design, the problem of the Italian is technology.
ferrari has been supplying engines to maserati since 2002, so i dont believe ghibli is the only model that has a ferrari engine, all of maseratis use ferrari engines. however ferrari recently announced they will be supplying engines to maserati
I leased one from 2016-2018. Engine was good but the craftsmanship is horrendous! Besides the large gaps and loose panels, poor craftsmanship = creaking interior. First 2 months the car was good. Then after about 2,000 miles,..I couldn't wait for the end of the lease. I should have gotten the Z06 (which I drive now). Corvette is a terrific value.
Depreciation wreaks havoc on quattroportes

SOA, stale on arrival. When it's time for a 6-figure exec sedan, it's E63S wagon time, for me at least or the Panameta Sport Turismo thing. Why waste time with a trunk?
I would love an E63 wagon!
I will only ride a hearse when I go 6 feet under.
Could It Go faster Than a HellCat Wide Body tho???? Rekked
Yep love it
If only in Blighty 🇬🇧 we didn’t have to deal with parking, beauty car but for normal life it’s just too long 😔
Looks cool and sounds cool. That’s about it. No speed no technology no luxury. For the same money, E63, GT 4 door, or Tesla are far better choices.
looks good sounds great. im always happy to see one drive. but i will never buy one even if im FU rich.
It's a 4 seater ferrari with actual massage seats. Again, It's a ferrari Engine in a non-ferrari car. Its like mac os in a non macbok laptop which should actually cost more than the macbook. No supercar can bring the feel of maserati. The feel of wanting to go speed without sticking a rear spoiler. It's the only supercar you cant imagine sticking a rear-spoiler. Maserati is a feeling to which even ferrari surrendered it's engine.
Too bad it's accolades didn't trickle down to the Ghibli SMH
Definitely need to keep up with the times..they are either too lazy or running out of money
HELL'S NO. NOT A V6 FOR A $121,000!!!
Dang, I was just going to buy one.
I was pretty convinced, I think it’s beautiful and stuff but damn when I heard 140k I thought of M5 and E63 stuff, the interior is better and tech also more powerful!! The M5 and E63 would murder this Maserati. 140k ? That’s why they don’t sell, more like 80k
It is a wondfuldriving experieince adam clingerman
I seriously thought it was a Kia Cadenza for a few seconds.
How can you confuse a Maserati with a Kia bro?
@@alexisamtosta Look up 2020 Kia Cadenza. The front looks similar.
It seem KIA copying every car maker to stay in completion
I much prefer to own the new Tesla Model S "Raven" Performance. Maserati should've kept the NA V8 (especially at that price range).
See you on the side of the highway 👋
Put V12 in there man lol
Quý Trung I so agree
Do not fool yourself...Sexy and unique do not mean the car is good. Why don't I get an E63s AMG or an M5, or even the M760?
How does Maserati still have this underwhelming of performance figures? Why would you buy this with a 4.8 0-60 when BMW and Mercedes are in the low 3's? I love the looks and the sound, but every car they sell is massively underpowered.
Replace the 2 turbocharge with 2 cylinders and you've got a proper engine
Major Turbo Lag even when you switch it to S+M Modes.

Come shopping in the Netherlands, here cost the Quattroporte € 175000,00 min.
