The 2026 Maserati GranTurismo stands as a pure and confident expression of what the Maserati name represents. From its sculpted Italian design to its richly appointed interior and thrilling twin turbo V6 performance, this grand touring coupe is engineered to excite the senses while delivering effortless long distance comfort. It is a vehicle designed not just to be driven, but to be enthusiastically put to the test here at Jim Butler Maserati of St. Louis.
From Luxury Arrivals to Mountain Switchbacks
At a glance, the GranTurismo commands attention. Its flowing proportions, wide stance, and unmistakable Maserati design cues make it a standout on any road. Every line serves a purpose, blending elegance with athletic intent. This is a coupe that looks just as at home pulling up to a luxury resort as it does carving through winding mountain roads. The design balances beauty and aggression in a way only Maserati can achieve.
For 2026, the GranTurismo receives thoughtful enhancements that further elevate its appeal. A newly tuned sport exhaust system now comes standard across the lineup, enhancing the vehicle’s already evocative soundtrack. It delivers a rich, engaging tone that reflects Maserati’s motorsports heritage while remaining refined during everyday driving.
The GranTurismo: Power Delivered Through Precision Engineering
In addition, the new Meccanica Lirica package adds a bold visual statement with distinctive badging, unique wheel designs, and a beautifully coordinated interior color theme inspired by Italian craftsmanship. Carefully curated exterior color recommendations highlight the vehicle’s sculptural form and reinforce its exclusivity.
Under the hood, a twin turbocharged 3.0 liter V6, from Maserati’s cutting edge performance engineering, powers the GranTurismo. This engine features advanced combustion technology with roots in Formula 1, delivering strong power and a characterful sound across the rev range. Two gas powered configurations are available, each paired with a smooth shifting eight speed automatic transmission and a confidence inspiring all wheel drive system.
From Relaxed Cruising to Full Engagement
The result is a coupe that feels composed and responsive in all driving conditions. Driving modes allow the GranTurismo to adapt seamlessly to the road ahead. In Comfort mode, the standard air suspension provides a smooth and controlled ride, ideal for daily driving or extended highway travel. GT mode strikes a perfect balance between performance and refinement, making it an ideal choice for most situations.
Switch to Corsa mode, and the GranTurismo sharpens its responses, delivering more immediate steering feel, firmer suspension tuning, and an even more engaging exhaust note. This flexibility allows drivers to tailor the experience to their mood and surroundings. Performance is a core part of the GranTurismo’s identity, yet it never comes at the expense of comfort.
Acceleration is quick and confident, allowing the coupe to merge effortlessly onto highways or power out of corners with ease. The chassis feels planted and well balanced, inspiring confidence whether cruising or driving with enthusiasm.
Everyday Usability Wrapped in Italian Style
This is a grand tourer in the truest sense, built to cover long distances quickly and comfortably while keeping the driver fully engaged. Inside the cabin, the GranTurismo surrounds occupants with premium materials and refined Italian design. Every surface reflects attention to detail, from the leather upholstery to the precise stitching and carefully selected trim elements. The front seats provide comfort and support, making long journeys feel effortless. Excellent outward visibility adds to the sense of control and ease behind the wheel.
The GranTurismo features a classic two plus two layout, offering additional flexibility for carrying passengers or personal items. The rear seating area is ideal for children, storage, or essentials, while the trunk provides ample room for weekend luggage. This versatility reinforces the GranTurismo’s role as a luxury coupe built for real world use as well as spirited driving.
Intuitive Technology Designed Around the Driver
Technology plays a central role in the GranTurismo’s interior experience. A large central touchscreen houses Maserati’s Google based infotainment system, offering intuitive access to navigation, media, and vehicle settings. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity come standard, allowing seamless integration with smartphones. A separate climate control display ensures easy adjustments without distraction, while an available head up display keeps key information directly in the driver’s line of sight.
Music lovers will appreciate the available premium audio systems crafted by Italian sound specialist Sonus Faber. These systems boast a custom design for the GranTurismo’s cabin, delivering rich, immersive sound quality that enhances every drive. Whether enjoying a favorite playlist or the natural soundtrack of the engine, the experience feels unmistakably Maserati.
Luxury and Performance In The GranTurismo, Now Open to the Elements
The design integrates safety and driver assistance features to support confidence behind the wheel. Standard technologies include automated emergency braking and parking sensors, while available packages add advanced features such as blind spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control, and lane assistance. These systems are designed to work smoothly in the background, providing added reassurance without detracting from the driving experience.
For those who prefer open air motoring, Maserati also offers the GranCabrio, which delivers the same performance and luxury with a retractable soft top. It provides an alternative way to enjoy the GranTurismo spirit while embracing the elements.
The 2026 Maserati GranTurismo is more than a luxury sports coupe. It is a statement of style, performance, and craftsmanship that reflects the soul of the Maserati brand. Designed for drivers who appreciate beauty, power, and refinement in equal measure, the GranTurismo continues a legacy that blends Italian passion with modern engineering. This vehicle thrives on long roads, unforgettable journeys, and the simple joy of driving.
