Maserati’s next design chapter appears to be close to its first public look.
People familiar with the brand’s plans indicate that concept versions of the Levante and Quattroporte are set to be revealed on December 10, with both cars intended to preview the design language of future Maserati models.
For a brand built on grand tourers, executive sedans and increasingly important SUVs, the pairing is telling.
At a glance
- Maserati is expected to reveal Levante and Quattroporte concept cars on December 10.
- The two concepts are understood to preview the brand’s future design language.
- CEO Santo Ficili has previously hinted at a very different Quattroporte, potentially between a shooting brake and a crossover.
A new look for two familiar Maserati names
The Levante and Quattroporte sit in very different parts of Maserati’s story, which makes their expected concept debut more than a simple design exercise.
The Quattroporte name carries the weight of Maserati’s luxury sedan history, while the Levante is the brand’s SUV answer in a segment dominated by polished German rivals.
Showing both as concepts would give Maserati room to speak to traditional buyers and SUV customers at the same time.
It would also signal that the next phase of the brand’s styling won’t be confined to one body style.
The Quattroporte could move beyond the classic sedan
The most intriguing detail concerns the Quattroporte.
Maserati CEO Santo Ficili has previously hinted at a very different interpretation of the model, describing an idea that could sit somewhere between a shooting brake and a crossover.
That would be a notable shift for a nameplate long associated with the Italian luxury saloon.
It also reflects a broader market reality, where traditional sedans have had to fight harder for relevance against high-riding, more versatile models.
If Maserati does explore that territory, the challenge will be preserving the elegance and long-distance character tied to the Quattroporte name while giving it a more contemporary footprint.
Levante’s role in a crowded luxury SUV field
The Levante concept is expected to preview Maserati’s future approach to the luxury SUV market.
That segment is already well established, with the Porsche Cayenne, BMW X5 and Mercedes-Benz GLE among the obvious benchmarks.
For Maserati, the Levante has to do more than simply exist in that company.
Its appeal depends on design, character and brand identity, areas where a concept can make a clear statement before production details are discussed.
No confirmed technical specifications, pricing or production timing have been disclosed for either concept.
What to watch on December 10
The important question is how far Maserati is willing to push its proportions and surfacing.
A conservative design study would suggest refinement of the current formula, while a more radical Quattroporte concept would point toward a genuine rethink of one of the brand’s defining models.
The Levante will be just as important, because luxury SUVs now carry much of the commercial weight for performance and premium brands.
Together, the two concepts should offer the clearest signal yet of where Maserati wants to place itself visually in the coming years.
For enthusiasts, the December 10 reveal is less about final specifications and more about direction.
If Maserati can give both cars a distinct identity without losing the restraint and tension that suit the badge, this could become a meaningful reset rather than just another concept-car moment.
