2021 Maserati Quattroporte Trofeo

The 2021 Maserati Quattroporte Trofeo is a mixed bag of treats. As a luxury vehicle, it comports itself well, but competitors such as the BMW 7 Series and Mercedes-Benz S-Class will do a better job of wafting you along in pure comfort. The Germans also offer a more refined and well-built interior, but that's where the negatives stop. This Maserati is the more enjoyable car to drive on the road, and its Ferrari-developed V8 engine sounds glorious at full tilt. Yes, it might not be as fast as the rest of the pack, but it's no slouch, and these days, it's rare to find a car of this size that actually thrills the senses. We appreciate the new and improved infotainment system, and the overall level of standard features is solid too. The safety rating and reliability reviews of the 2021 Maserati Quattroporte Trofeo might not be as stellar as some other competitors, but it's good enough for its class and price tag. If you want to arrive in style and comfort but also like a bit of spice in your life, then skip out on the classic choices and go for a ride in a Quattroporte Trofeo.

If we ever had the pleasure and money to buy one of these exotic land yachts, we'd go for a black one with the 21-inch Dark Forged Atlante wheels for an extra $400. Inside, we'd opt for the Cuoio/Nero leather upholstery and add the $2,500 Bowers and Wilkins sound system and four-zone automatic climate control. The 2021 Maserati Quattroporte Trofeo sedan's price in this configuration comes to $155,100. That's substantially more than the $103,000 asking price of the BMW 750i xDrive, but its unique character makes it worth it.
