Summary
The Maserati GranTurismo is a luxurious two-door coupé. Launched in 2023, it’s the second generation to carry the GranTurismo name but the latest in a long line of Maserati grand touring coupés.
It’s powered by a 3.0-litre twin-turbocharged V6 petrol engine, although an all-electric version called the GranTurismo Folgore will join the range soon. We’re building a separate Expert Rating for this model, so check back soon.
The new GranTurismo has been well-received by UK reviewers, AutoTrader explaining that the coupé is “more high-tech, more eco-friendly and more precise” than its predecessor “without losing the essential sense of glamour”. As with the previous model, which was produced from 2007 to 2019, it’s a 2+2 coupé with two front seats plus two (fairly cramped) rear seats.
That said, several outlets conclude that the GranTurismo isn’t the most lavish grand tourer on the market, nor does it deliver the driving thrills of other upmarket coupés. “It can’t match the aristocratic image and five-star comfort of the Bentley Continental GT, nor the sharper-edged dynamics and adrenaline-pumping pace of the Porsche 911“, says Autocar‘s James Disdale, who adds that its engine lacks the old model’s “charisma and siren call.”
Despite the strength of the competition however, reviewers agree that the Maserati is an engaging and well-engineered package that is certainly a capable match for the daily commute. As the Top Gear team sums up, “it feels, acts and drives expensively and comes across as better engineered and developed than any Maserati in living memory.”
As of September 2023, the Maserati GranTurismo holds an Expert Rating of 73%, based on 11 reviews published by the UK motoring media to date. This is a brand new model, however, so this rating could fluctuate up or down by a few points as more reviews are published in coming months.

“It can’t match the aristocratic image and five-star comfort of the Bentley Continental GT, nor the sharper-edged dynamics and adrenaline-pumping pace of the Porsche 911, but it’s not hard to see the appeal of the Maserati GranTurismo, which is a vastly more polished performer than its predecessor, even if its engine lacks the old stager’s charisma and siren call.” (James Disdale)

“Hot on the heels of the MC20, the new GranTurismo fuses tradition and future in a stylish and dynamically compelling fashion. Who would have thought that the old-school Trofeo still ticks more boxes than the fully electric, fascinatingly controversial Folgore?”

“Maserati’s V6 feels like a tool for the job, not an engine to give you goosebumps, so even committed petrolheads may feel conflicted. Also, the EV is faster and seems more exotic somehow, helped by its unique status in the sector. For me, though, until battery tech or the charging network improves, the Folgore’s limited ‘grand touring’ ability means the best GranTurismo is the cheapest one: the entry-level Modena.” (Tim Pitt)

“Your many thousands of pounds buys you a beautiful, exotic grand tourer – one that, on your annual trip to your pied a terre in the south of France, will be equally at home on the M25 as it is on the Route Napoleon.” (Tom Wiltshire)

“Maserati reinvents itself for the electric age… with a car that doesn’t look too different from the old GranTurismo and can still be had with a bonkers twin-turbo V6.”
