Maserati isn't known for blending in, and the 2022 Quattroporte does so with a brashness that stands out in the full-size luxury sedan category. Competitors like the Audi A8, BMW 7-series, and Mercedes-Benz S-class provide greater comfort and convenience features, but the Maserati adds the heat with turbocharged powertrains meant to entice enthusiast drivers. This is a car in which practically anyone could stretch out in plenty of comfort, whether in the front or rear. Taller adults won't find much rear head room, but the car is similar to many Mercedes-Benz S-Class limousines in this regard. The boot is spacious, and unlike some full-size luxury alternatives, it has split folding seat-backs that, while not completely flat, let you carry larger cargo.
The standard engine is a 345-hp V-6, but a 424-hp version is more fun, and the top-spec Trofeo comes with a 580-hp V-8. Buyers can personalise the Quattroporte with a variety of inside and exterior trims and appearance packages. The Quattroporte Trofeo drives like a big, hefty, premium saloon car with plenty of power, but not always as much grip and composure as it needs to effectively deploy it. And it isn't particularly offensive in doing so since, after all, if you want to produce a performance limousine, you must first make a limousine. The Maserati's predilection for ride comfort and a touch of dynamic gentility ensures that it is always at least moderately pleasant and easy to drive.
