Maserati’s grand tourers have been given a measured but meaningful update, and the changes land where owners are most likely to notice them.
The GranTurismo and GranCabrio now wear cleaner exterior detailing, while the Trofeo variants get a stronger version of the brand’s twin-turbo V6.
It’s less a reinvention than a tightening of the formula, with more power, sharper responses and a little extra usability built into the chassis settings.
At a glance
- Maserati has updated the GranTurismo and GranCabrio with revised styling and added performance for Trofeo models.
- The twin-turbo 3.0-litre V6 now produces 590 hp, with revised boost delivery, exhaust tuning and gearbox calibration.
- A new country drive mode raises ride height by 25 mm and softens key responses for rougher roads.
MCPura influence at the front
The most visible change is the new front fascia, which takes inspiration from Maserati’s MCPura supercar.
The air intakes have been reshaped, and a central splitter has been optimised to increase front downforce.
At the rear, both the GranTurismo coupe and GranCabrio convertible move to clear-lens taillights, a small visual shift that gives the cars a more contemporary finish.
Maserati hasn’t overworked the design, which is probably the right call for a pair of models whose appeal still depends on elegance as much as aggression.
The Trofeo V6 gets a stronger top end
The Trofeo variants continue with Maserati’s twin-turbo 3.0-litre V6, now tuned to produce 590 hp.
That represents a 40 hp increase and gives the flagship GranTurismo and GranCabrio a more serious performance edge without moving away from the current engine architecture.
Maserati has also adjusted turbo boost pressure between 5,000 and 7,200 rpm, aiming for a stronger and more linear pull as the engine climbs toward redline.
The exhaust has been reworked too, with a richer soundtrack intended to make the performance feel more immediate from behind the wheel.
The eight-speed automatic transmission has also been recalibrated for quicker and more responsive shifts, which should suit the Trofeo’s sharper brief.
A new setting for imperfect roads
The new country drive mode is one of the more practical additions.
It raises the ride height by 25 mm and softens both the suspension and throttle response, making the cars better suited to uneven roads where a low-slung grand tourer can feel exposed.
It’s a subtle feature, but a smart one for a car designed to cover distance rather than live only on polished city streets and smooth coastal routes.
Inside, Maserati has upgraded materials and added new metal gear selectors with haptic feedback.
Those changes are relatively restrained, but they point to a broader effort to make the cabin feel more tactile and expensive in daily use.
