2024 Maserati GranTurismo

Overview

The GranTurismo sports car has made a triumphant comeback for the 2024 model year, wearing a gorgeous new look that marries old-school and new-school Maserati designs. Sitting alongside the MC20 sports car in the Maserati lineup, the GranTurismo is offered with a detuned version of that car's white-hot Nettuno twin-turbo V-6 engine. The GranTurismo is also offered as a fully electric model called GranTurismo Folgore, which we review separately. We also expect a convertible version—called GranCabrio—too, but probably not until the 2025 model year. All gasoline-powered models come with all-wheel drive and an eight-speed automatic transmission. No matter the powertrain, the GranTurismo impresses with its dual nature, providing luxury-car amenities as well as sports car-like performance and driving enjoyment.

What's New for 2024?

The GranTurismo will be all-new when it goes on sale in 2023, marking a return of the nameplate that disappeared from the Maserati lineup after the 2019 model year.

Pricing and Which One to Buy

The GranTurismo is offered in base Modena and performance-oriented Trofeo trims and we'd go with the latter. The Trofeo comes with more horsepower and includes unique forged wheels, an electronically-locking differential, and racier-looking exterior and interior design elements.

Engine, Transmission, and Performance

The GranTurismo gets a detuned version of the MC20 sports car's twin-turbo V-6 engine. The entry-level Modena trim makes 483 horsepower but upgrading to the Trofeo boosts power to 542 ponies. Both models are capable of quiet and comfortable cruising. The engine is both characterful and sonorous, and its unique twin-combustion design has roots in Formula 1 racing. The most powerful GranTurismo model will be the all-electric Folgore (reviewed separately) which makes a combined 750 horsepower from its three electric motors. All gasoline-powered GranTurismo models come standard with an eight-speed automatic and all-wheel drive; a manual transmission is not offered. With the drive mode set to Comfort, the standard air suspension soaks up bumps admirably and delivers a smooth, even ride. In Sport mode, the GranTurismo transforms into a more focused sports car, with firmer suspension settings, heavier-weighted steering, and a more baritone exhaust note emanating from the tailpipes. With its launch control function engaged, Maserati claims the 483-hp GranTurismo Modena is capable of hitting 60 mph in 3.7 seconds, which is only 0.5 seconds slower than what the more powerful and lighter MC20 did at our test track; the 542-hp Trofeo model boasts a claimed zero-to-60-mph of 3.5 seconds. While the GranTurismo's chassis is dynamically well sorted, we wished its brakes were more confidence-inspiring, as the car we drove for our initial test drive had a limp-feeling pedal despite what seemed like decent braking performance. When we get a chance to drive the GranTurismo on our home turf, we'll update this story with test results.

Fuel Economy and Real-World MPG

More information about the GranTurismo's fuel economy will be revealed closer to the car's on-sale date, and we'll update this story with information as it becomes available. Once we get a production model in for testing, we'll also put it through our 75-mph highway fuel economy test and report our findings. For more information about the GranTurismo's fuel economy, visit the EPA's website.

Interior, Comfort, and Cargo

The GranTurismo is a two-door, two-plus-two four-seater with a small back seat that's as much about luxury as speed. The cabin is draped in high-end materials and upscale finishes, and Maserati has baked in plenty of amenities throughout the design. Comfortable front seats and good outward visibility make the GranTurismo easy to live with daily and would be accommodating on a long drive. Rear-seat space is slightly more generous than the previous generation model, but it's still a space best left for kids or handbags. The trunk appears large enough for a weekend trip's worth of luggage, but when we get a GranTurismo to our office we'll test it to see how many carry-on suitcases it can fit. When the GranCabrio debuts, expect the car's trunk to decrease capacity as it makes room for stowing a folding fabric roof.

Infotainment and Connectivity

Maserati's latest infotainment system—a Google-based system that debuted on the Grecale—is offered also standard on the new GranTurismo. A 12.3-inch touchscreen is mounted centrally on the dashboard with a smaller 8.8-inch display mounted just below that to handle climate control settings. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration are included and work wirelessly. A head-up display provides at-a-glance info such as speed and navigation directions in the driver's line of sight. Italian audio tuner Sonus Faber created the GranTurismo's stereo system, which includes up to 19 speakers.

Safety and Driver-Assistance Features

The GranTurismo offers basic driver-assistance features as standard, but more advanced features are bundled together in an option package that costs a whopping $8300. For more information about the GranTurismo's crash test results, visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) websites. Key safety features include:

• Standard automated emergency braking
• Available lane-departure warning with lane-keeping assist
• Available adaptive cruise control

Warranty and Maintenance Coverage

Maserati's standard warranty is nothing special, with coverages that stretch for four years or 50,000 miles. Rival sports cars, such as the Porsche 911, offer complimentary scheduled maintenance plans to enhance their value in this category.

• Limited warranty covers 4 years or 50,000 miles
• Powertrain warranty covers 4 years or 50,000 miles
• No complimentary scheduled maintenance
