Maserati GranTurismo Review: Comfort, Drive and Cost Without Hype

Maserati GranTurismo carries a calm, everyday sort of styling that should wear well over time. The useful detail sits in a sports car shape, 4966 / 4959 mm length with a 2929 mm wheelbase and 6 visual references, which gives the car more shape in real use. Nothing about it screams for attention, but that restraint can be a plus for daily use. This is the sort of detail that matters more in real life than it ever does in a brief handover drive.

Maserati GranTurismo feels more honest than fancy in the cabin, which can work perfectly well for daily driving. The stronger part of that impression comes from 4 seats and 4 variants. The interior story feels honest and usable rather than especially rich or dramatic. This is the sort of detail that matters more in real life than it ever does in a brief handover drive. For a petrol sports car like this, trim and setup can still change the real impression quite a bit.

Maserati GranTurismo looks better equipped for decisive road use than a basic commuter setup. The useful detail sits in petrol, 404 / 360 kW maximum power, 650 / 600 Nm maximum torque, automatic transmission and Full-Time Four Wheel Drive, which gives the car more shape in real use. That should leave the car feeling more confident when merging, overtaking and carrying speed on open roads. This is the sort of detail that matters more in real life than it ever does in a brief handover drive.

Maserati GranTurismo appears to have the sort of footprint that pays off once the car is fully used. The useful detail sits in a sports car body, 4 seats and 4966 / 4959 mm length and 2929 mm wheelbase, which gives the car more shape in real use. That should make family trips, child seats and luggage easier to manage without the cabin feeling tight. This is the sort of detail that matters more in real life than it ever does in a brief handover drive.

Maserati GranTurismo keeps the safety verdict conservative because too few clear protection details are on hand. Daily driving may still feel fine, although the car has not yet done enough to earn a stronger reassurance claim. Buyers who care about family use should verify the final equipment list line by line. This is the sort of detail that matters more in real life than it ever does in a brief handover drive. With 4 variants in the range, the final safety kit can still move around more than buyers expect.

Maserati GranTurismo keeps the value story on the guarded side once the likely running costs are considered. The clearer side of the story is an entry price around RM 1,497,000, 10.15 L/100 km combined fuel use, petrol and 4 variants, and that matters more than empty excitement. That keeps the ownership case on the cautious side, especially once insurance and upkeep enter the picture. This is the sort of detail that matters more in real life than it ever does in a brief handover drive. That petrol setup only tells part of the story, because the final variant can still shift the character noticeably.
