You will see that it\u2019s a real Maserati and a real Quattroporte.\u201d<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/media.autoexpress.co.uk\/image\/private\/s--22MPWV6b--\/f_auto,t_related-embed-mobile@1\/v1690188350\/autoexpress\/2023\/07\/Longest%20electric%20car%20ranges%20header%202023_qllxeo.jpg\">Top 10 longest range electric cars on sale 2023<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As was evident from the brand now being sold alongside Lamborghini, Bentley and Ferrari at the new HR Owen site, Maserati is on a push to be parent company Stellantis\u2019s luxury brand. As Loire explained: \u201cMaserati is not aiming to be a volume brand. It&#x27;s aiming to provide exceptional cars with a very high level of quality and also making profit for the company, which has not always been the case.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo do so, you don&#x27;t need to talk to everyone, but you need to be a bit different. And you will see the Quattroporte, which will be a full electric car only, it&#x27;s not going to look like an electric car at all \u2013 that&#x27;s the route that we are choosing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Loire also confirmed that the rest of the Maserati range will follow the Quattroporte in moving more upmarket. \u201cThere will be a move up,\u201d said Loire. \u201cToday we have the lower entry point to the brand and we will move slowly up by the launches of new product.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe started already with MC20 and GranTurismo because those cars are quite high price, of course, and they are quite unique. Grecale is very good at getting new customers to the brand. Electrification is also an important way to bring new customers to the brand. We need to get the new audience in, but in the future we are very much seeing ourselves moving up to products like Quattroporte, Levante and the sports car. So really getting to the luxury world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Loire wouldn\u2019t be drawn on what platform the all-electric Quattroporte would use, but Auto Express expects it will be one of the first new models to make use of the advanced new Stellantis STLA range of platforms. In the case of the Quattropprte it\u2019s most likely to be the STLA Large platform with a reported range of around 500 miles.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/media.autoexpress.co.uk\/image\/private\/s--qTt2keX9--\/f_auto,t_related-embed-mobile@1\/v1671191933\/autoexpress\/2022\/12\/Maserati%20GranTurismo%20Folgore%202023-3.jpg\">New Maserati GranTurismo Folgore 2023 review<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cOf course Stellantis offers us an opportunity of getting access to technologies and that&#x27;s extremely important when you know the investments that have to be made on the powertrains, on the batteries, on the software, et cetera,\u201d said Loire. \u201cFor us it&#x27;s a chance to have access to that. And yes, we will try to build our cars on the most common platform taken from Stellantis, but it has to be kept as a Maserati.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe way of managing platforms is more flexible than it used to be so we can different cars on the same platform. Of course, a Maserati has to always be a Maserati, so focused on the performance, on the driving pleasure, and on the design \u2013 there won&#x27;t be compromise on that.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>New electric Maserati Levante to follow<\/h2>\n<p>Following on from the Quattroporte will be an all-new, all-electric Levante, again likely to be based on the STLA Large platform. However, Maserati is avoiding the temptation to go larger with the Levante, with Loire firm that the brand will be avoiding the temptation to build a larger, three-row SUV.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/media.autoexpress.co.uk\/image\/private\/s--2ndlamRb--\/v1683626472\/assets\/partners\/powered-by-motorway_150x70.png\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"icon\" class=\"imgHideOnJavaScriptDisabled_4059ab17lnxcoxsm polaris__image\" height=\"20\" src=\"\/public\/trustpilot-icon.png\"><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe product definition is not yet frozen, but certainly we are working on a new Levante. We are not going to build a boxy car just to have a roominess or package. We will build, in any case a Maserati \u2013 a compromise on the design won&#x27;t be made. And I&#x27;ve got a question for instance, will we have a three rows Maserati? The answer is no.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe would like to provide the fantastic dynamic with the design as an Italian car and we cannot make a boxy car \u2013 then it looks like a station wagon and it&#x27;s not a Maserati anymore.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI cannot talk about the dimension of the future, but the next Levante is not going to be that far away from the car of today.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Loire also promised that future Maseratis would feature plenty of technology, but in a restrained manner without resorting to multiple screens around the cabin. \u201cIf you take the GranTurismo, you have very high level of infotainment, but we are keeping the environment of the luxury Maserati interior,\u201d he says. \u201cSo we have not an objective to put as many screens all over the place \u2013 these are vehicles that you love to drive. There is the necessary infotainment with the highest technology, but it has not to be defined by proving that we have as many screens as we can do. That&#x27;s not our design strategy.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe always keep a kind of timeless design or something which is not going to be exaggerated. GranTurismo is exactly this expression where we are reinventing the GranTurismo but keeping the DNA, we are not willing to go for something which is not Maserati. We are Italian luxury the one representation of Italian luxury in the industry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Click here for our list of the best luxury cars on sale&#8230;<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autoexpress.co.uk\/maserati\/quattroporte\/361273\/maserati-quattroporte-and-levante-set-all-electric-assault-super\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Top Maserati executive, Bernard Loire, lifts the lid on plans for the brand\u2019s pure-electric future Maserati\u2019s two-pronged march upmarket and<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":242444,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 -
