Maserati to unveil new roadmap in December
The struggling Italian brand is working on an electric Levante and a new Quattroporte that will abandon its sedan form.
Maserati, which skipped the Paris Motor Show, is gearing up for a major announcement in December. Falling sales, high tariffs and an uncertain future have long weighed on the Italian brand, and in recent years there has been speculation that Maserati could be spun off from Stellantis.
Stellantis CEO Antonio Filosa has now put those claims to rest. Speaking to Bloomberg TV, Filosa said Maserati will not leave the group and that a comprehensive plan featuring new products and technologies will be presented in December in Modena, Italy.
Levante returns as an EV
According to Maserati CEO Santo Ficili, the planned new products include an electric SUV to replace the discontinued Levante. The gasoline Levante was known for its twin-turbo V6 and V8 engines. If the new model is similar in size, it is expected to sit above the Grecale Folgore in the brand's electric SUV lineup.
Quattroporte changes shape
Another of the brand's projects is a reinterpretation of the Quattroporte. Built as a sedan since the 1960s, the model may drop that body style in its next generation. Ficili describes the new Quattroporte as "a very low and large car, between a shooting brake and a crossover."
No concrete product has been officially announced yet. More details are expected to be shared at the December meeting.
