The J.D. Power rating system and awards entity have not been shy to show their love for Maserati’s employment of Ferrari engines for the power supply in top performance trims, and we love  to celebrate the Italian flair each model offers. There are so many exciting things that will come in 2023, as a new SUV model, a ground tourer, and a thrilling open-top supercar are rolling festively onto the lot. 

Here are the lineup changes to look forward to, and a few unique traits that set each model apart! 

The 2023 Maserati Ghibli is not announcing any riveting differences in style and essence for 2023, but detailed updates over the past few years will provide momentum to render it supreme as always. In 2021, the Ferrari V8 engine was added under the hood, resulting in the brand-new Trofeo trim. The Ghibli’s base twin turbocharged V6 attracts heaps of positive attention with its 345 horsepower and a nearly hypersonic zero to 60 time of just 5.5 seconds. Beginning in 2021, every Ghibli now features a 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment display for the tech lovers out there that desire an extra dazzling effect.

The 2023 Maserati GranTurismo has undergone serious modification for its Nettuno V6 engine that sees its fire-breathing origins in the MC20 supercar. The Modena version is showing up ready for action with the 490-horsepower twin-turbo V6. The range-topping and charismatically capable Trofeo receives the 550-horsepower powertrain version. This is the model that will boast the honor of becoming Maserati’s first 100% battery electric vehicle, featuring 800 Volt technology in three electric motors with 760 horsepower. 

The 2023 Maserati Grecale is an entirely new model for 2023 and fits directly beneath the Levante SUV. The base level GT trim uses a spry and punchy 296-horsepower 4-cylinder engine with a mild-hybrid system. The middle Modena trim shows up with 325 horsepower, and the top Trofeo claims its consistent and prominent leadership with a 523-horsepower V6. The all-electric powertrain will be arriving next year, and the 2023 model has rocketed from 0 to 60 in just 3.8 seconds. 

The 2023 Maserati Levante rolls into 2023 unchanged for the most part, but its 2021 overhaul left it with a much more appealing exterior and more current tech features. The GT hits the scene with a 345-horsepower V6, the Modena with the 424-horsepower version, and the Trofeo with the raw power and distinctly audible exhaust of the 572-horsepower V8. This is the flavorful SUV that Edmunds.com claimed delivers “notably fierce power, and undeniably first-class handling.”

The 2023 Maserati MC20 came onto the scene this year, stunning car fans worldwide with its swooping, aggressive, and distinctively Maserati DNA. Also introduced this year, there is a brand-new model within the lineup. The namesake is Italian for sky, adding instant appeal courtesy of amazing butterfly doors, a glass roof, and all the other game-changing looks this model introduced. The out-of-this-world twin turbo cranking out 621 horsepower shatters everything within nearby proximity while getting up to 60 in just 2.9 seconds, and the MC20 dangles as invitingly as New Year’s champagne with its top speed of more than 202 mph. The first racing car to sport the Trident logo was the Tipo 26, making its first appearance in 1926 at the Garga Florio. It brought home a first-place finish then, and 96 years later the Tipo Folgore will make its debut in the age of electrification with a design portraying a lightning surge of exciting and vigorous energy. The Gen 3 is on track to be the most efficient and fastest Formula E car yet, allowing for more than 40% of the energy used during a race to be derived from regenerative braking. In January of 2023, it will start a 19-race regimen. This will mark the humble beginnings of a season that promises to be awe-inspiring while striving to be efficient and meaningful at every turn.
