Maserati Quattroporte 2002–2012 car dimensions: 5097 mm long, 1895 mm wide and 1438 mm high. Unladen weight is 1,990 kg. Braked towing is 1,300 kg.
Dual-zone automatic climate control keeps the cabin comfortable for driver and passengers. Cruise control is standard for highway runs. Rear parking sensors help with tight spaces and manoeuvres. A navigation system with central screen comes fitted. No advanced aids like emergency braking, blind spot alerts or lane keep appear in the specs for this generation.
Boot space measures 450 litres with the fixed rear bench. The fully carpeted compartment includes lashing points, a power outlet and underfloor storage for smaller items.
Braked towing capacity reaches 1300 kg in published figures for some markets. Payload sits at 410 kg. Sport versions offer stiffer suspension settings. The car suits grand touring more than heavy work duties.
The cabin uses soft Poltrona Frau leather with real wood and chrome trim for a luxurious feel. Multi-way power front seats with lumbar support offer strong side bolstering and good adjustability for long drives. Dual-zone climate control works well, and laminated glass cuts wind and road noise while the V8 note remains present and engaging. Front space is ample with easy entry. Rear seats fit two adults comfortably for shorter trips but feel tighter for taller passengers, with optional power adjustments and heated or ventilated options on higher grades.

The Ferrari-derived V8 engines run on premium fuel only. Published EPA figures sit in the low teens for city driving and high teens on the highway, with real-world returns often lower during spirited use.
Regular annual servicing keeps the engines reliable over high mileages. A larger service arrives every four years. Full stamped history is essential, as neglected cars become costly.
Passive safety centers on six airbags with dual-stage fronts plus side and curtain units, seatbelt pretensioners, and load limiters. Active systems include ABS with EBD, traction control, and the Maserati Stability Program. The structure passed the toughest crash tests of its day.
Living with the car means accepting higher costs for brakes, tires, and DuoSelect clutch replacements on early examples. The ZF automatic is smoother and more durable. Skyhook suspension balances comfort and sharp handling when maintained.
