"The V8 Maserati Quattroporte is the go-to driver luxury sedan, with sharp handling and blowing performance, but the diesel version replaces enthusiasm of Economics "

has the Maserati Quattroporte name graced various Italian saloons for 50 years. Its popularity has boomed recently and was as ever raised by a wider engine choice on. From occupy a tiny niche in the market for ultra-fast, gasoline-powered sedans, the Quattroporte is now a serious competitor to the Jaguar XJ, BMW 7 Series and Mercedes S-Class.
After having recently updated the current Quattroporte boasts (next to his Ferrari developed V8) more efficient gasoline engines than before, and a diesel version. Priced lower cost and with lower operating costs, makes the diesel the big Maserati as official cars for the first time in response, so this version is expected to be the best-selling Quattroporte to be.
Meanwhile, the 523bhp Ferrari developed V8 petrol and 407bhp petrol V6 engines remain for those who prioritize power over the barrenness, available and all models continue an interior for luxury and comfort, with wood and Leather built around enjoy. An additional 107mm has been added in the passenger compartment, significantly the amount of room to improve in the back.
Despite all this luxury the Quattro has never been ashamed to meet the needs of the driver of setting before of cossetting passengers. This is tailored by the driver dashboard and the way the car drives expressed - it is more established firmly as the Mercedes S-Class or Jaguar XJ, and kicks the Porsche Panamera, Audi A8 and BMW 7 appeal to drivers. The Quattroporte is a really fast car, also. All models can fit an electronically limited 155mph maximum of their German competitors easily, while the diesel from 0-62mph can accelerate in less than 6.5 seconds.
Although it is not as convenient as some competitors do not ride if you worth through the unique power attractiveness of V8 GTS or the cost-effective diesel, the Quattroporte Maserati tries considering as an alternative to the German brands, when you for a large luxury sedan shopping.

engines from the old model to be improved, but spirits are extremely expensive to run
[1945075noch] Although a huge 523bhp providing the 3.8-liter V8 petrol engine is a massive improvement in terms of fuel consumption on the old 4.7-liter V8 Quattroporte. However, there is still much to tax to cost fuel and insure. The official fuel consumption and CO2 emissions of 23.7mpg and 274 grams per kilometer are high, so you will be topped £ 505 costs per year, the 80-liter tank regularly and road tax. Meanwhile manages the smaller 3.0-liter V6 petrol 26.9mpg and emits 244 g / km CO2 for £ 40 road tax.The 3.0-liter diesel engine is much more efficient, an alleged 45.6mpg return and 163g emitting / km CO2, so tax is £ 180 per year. Yet as impressive as this seems on paper, should not be forgotten that the Mercedes S-Class diesel returns 52.3mpg and 141g / km, while the more efficient BMW 730d is rated at 60.1mpg and 124g / km.

motors, drive & Performance
- [1945087Faster] than a Porsche 911 and almost as good in the corners
the flagship 523bhp V8 engine accelerates the two-ton Quattroporte from 0-62mph in 4.7 seconds, which Porsche is faster than an entry-level 911. the V6 model is almost as fast, however, and apart from not so good, provides most of the power to sound attractive to the larger engine. Despite its weight, the Quattroporte feels as light as a feather through the corners. Rapid changes in direction are simple and the steering responds quickly, the car helps a lot less to feel, than it actually is.
The 3.0-liter diesel does not sound nearly as good as the spirits, though, despite the "Active Sound 'generator operating in sport mode is activated. It is obviously slower than the gasoline, but still brings a competition 271bhp and is not short of pace, a 0-62mph time of 6.4 seconds, the administration, halfway between a BMW 730d and Mercedes S 350d. When we drove the diesel, but we found it a having vague answer of steering, worn artificial hard felt in curves. This lack of sensation and feeling of kickback on rough surfaces appeal to something the driver.
body control is enhanced when the sport suspension mode is selected, but the jiggly ride brings probably look back to normal switching as soon as the road straightens out.
sit behind a recently updated instrument panel has a larger screen with a higher resolution swagger. There are also a variety of driver assistance systems on the campaign call. The touchscreen interface is logical and easy to use thanks to its dial system, and it has sharp, attractive graphics too.

Interior & Comfort

Beaten here from the Mercedes S-class, but it is convenient for a sporty car
the interior of the Quattroporte is now more luxurious than ever. High-quality leather, wood and metal is the order of the day, and ergonomics have attracted much attention, so all controls can be used in logical places. It's just a shame it does not look a little more adventurous, when rivals like the Jaguar XJ and Mercedes S-Class look so special inside especially.
An additional 107mm between the front and rear wheels on the old compared model has greatly increased the amount of space available to the rear passengers, always very generous with footwell. However, the elegant low roofline is mean that latitude is limited in the back a little, so that when you grow up, then slipped necessary to prevent his mind that the ceiling brush.
The search for luxury may be disappointed by the ride quality of the vehicle, which is clearly on bad roads deteriorated to cover in the absence of shocks that would go unnoticed by passengers in an S-Class or Jaguar XJ -. is set a side effect of sports fashion Maserati
However, the seats are very well shaped and padded, while providing improved sound insulation means the Quattroporte is impressively quiet on slippery roads. When considered on its own merits, this is still a comfortable car for long distances.

Spacious boat and generous rear legroom
the latest Quattro is a much longer car replaced than the previous model, which greatly improved rear legroom and trunk. The passengers in the rear seats can stretch and while a three-seat bench comes as standard, alternatively, you can choose a luxury two-seater set-up with a large center armrest. The shoe can hold 530 liters of luggage - 80 liters more than the old car - and you can fold the rear seats down, if you need larger to wear something.

engines and chassis are new but offered thoroughly tested
Both petrol engines in the Maserati Quattroporte were new for this model. This may sound alarming, but millions of miles of testing before they go on sale means that they probably hardy enough will - although Italian cars do not have the best reputation for reliability. Interior quality is impressive, so you will not find any flimsy plastic.
The Quattroporte was not, but a strong, high-tech body, a long list of active safety systems and a generous amount of airbags mean, it is likely be carried out by the Euro NCAP crash tests and in a crash ,

price, price-performance ratio and options

Extremely expensive but has an incredible power and loads of equipment
, the diesel model is the least expensive in the Quattroporte range, although it works still a little more expensive than a BMW 730d or 350d Mercedes S. the gasolines are also more expensive than its direct competitor, costs with the V8 GTS more than any Mercedes S-class short of flagship AMG models.
Thus, the Quattroporte is an expensive car, but that is a little by the way it is built and the materials it is made of, not to mention developed by the Ferrari V8 engine, the amazing performance brings justified. All models have a very long list of standard equipment in this high-quality interior, including full leather upholstery, navigation system and climate control.
For those who want more, there are a variety of sports, comfort and luxury packages to choose from, at a price. This can three-zone rear seats, a wood-and-carbon-fiber steering wheel and Alcantara suede headliner.
