| 2025 Maserati GranCabrio |
The second-generation Maserati GranCabrio is the convertible version of the second-generation, Maserati GranTurismo. The GranCabrio is the evolution of the definitive Italian grand tourer, and is primed and ready to tackle the new normal with its quintessential style and dramatic performance that you would expect from a Maserati.
The previous Pininfarina-styled shape is gone, and replaced by an MC20-inspired one penned by Maserati themselves. Although it bears similarities to its predecessor, the new shape adds drama and valor to this grand tourer, giving observers a whole new meaning of passion at first sight.
Inside, the new model is display overload behind the wheel because you will be greeted by not one, not two, but five displays such as the 12.2-inch digital instrument cluster, a 12.3-inch satnav, 8.8-inch climate control touch panel, a heads-up display, and a digital clock that dramatically displays the Maserati logo when you start it up.
Like the previous model, it's a 2+2 setup but you can only fit through the front because the rear seats are rather small, meaning you'll have to fit your poodle behind you as well as your designer handbags in case you can't find more room in the 172-liter boot capacity.
The Trofeo variant, priced at 235,000 Euros plus additional costs, is powered by a 3.0L twin-turbo Nettuno V6 engine derived from the MC20. In the Trofeo version, it produces 550hp of power and 650Nm of torque. With the 8-speed automatic gearbox and 4WD, a first for a Maserati Grand Tourer, it does 0-100kph in 3.6 seconds and flat out in 316kph, faster than the previous GranCabrio.
The all-electric, 210,700 Euro, GranCabrio Folgore, meanwhile, features a tri-motor setup that powers all four wheels, generating a power output of 761PS of power and 1350Nm of torque. It will go from 0-100kph in 2.8 seconds and flat out at 290kph. As for its driving range, it's good for 455km. The ideal zero-emission grand tourer.
The all-new GranCabrio is fitted with a range of driver assistance features such as Maserati Active Driving Assist, which provides autonomous emergency braking, active lane assist, emergency lane keeping, Dynamic Road View, rear emergency braking, and a surround-view camera. While this is controversial for Maserati fanatics, it's the new normal for luxury cars.
The second-generation GranCabrio, like its hardtop GranTurismo equivalent, rewrote the rules of what an Italian grand tourer should be judging by its dramatic style, interior, performance, and technology, not to mention the all-electric Folgore variant. This is Maserati, reloaded.
