Maserati has renewed the entire range with the Ghibli, Quattroporte and Levante in New Zealand, including an upgrade in technology.

The distinctive features of the MY21 versions of the two sedans and the SUV are the new front grille and the new rear light clusters, which have a boomerang shape inspired by that introduced in the late 1990s by Giugiaro's 3200 GT. 

With these updates, the MY21 versions of the two sedans and the Levante will be recognisable at a glance. The aim of the MY21 is to give the entire Maserati range a unified identity, by creating a common language for Ghibli, Quattroporte and Levante.

“We’re delighted to welcome the MY21 range of vehicles to Australia and New Zealand,” says Glen Sealey, Chief Operating Officer of Maserati Australia and New Zealand. 

“With these new models, the imminent arrival of the Ghibli hybrid and full complement of high-performance Trofeo editions, and the arrival of the all-new MC20 supercar, 2021 is set to be an exciting year for Maserati.”

The Ghibli MY21 is updated with a new front grille that will make it even more elegant and unmistakable. This new front grille is characterised by a distinctive feature: the Maserati tuning fork. In fact, the updated front grille is based on this shape, and comes in chrome in the GranLusso trim and in even more aggressive, sportier Black Piano in the GranSport trim.

The Maserati flagship, the Quattroporte, is also updated with a modified front grille, with the same design ingredient as on the Ghibli: the tuning fork. On the Quattroporte, again, the front grille comes in chrome for the GranLusso trim and Black Piano for GranSport.

At the rear, Quattroporte also adopts the new boomerang design light cluster in all trims, with the same characteristics as described for Ghibli.

The design concept of the Levante combines coupé lines with interior space for five people and exceptional aerodynamic efficiency.

“The Maserati of SUVs” is recognisable from a distance, thanks to its imposing grille, which was inspired by the sensational Alfieri concept, but also pays homage to historic Maserati cars like the Tipo 60 Birdcage. 

With MY21, Levante also updates its front to feature the innovative front grille with tuning fork design. This front grille comes in chrome for the GranLusso trim and Black Piano for the GranSport.

Like the sedans, Levante MY21 will also be equipped with the new boomerang design rear light clusters, as described for Ghibli and Quattroporte.

The main changes to the interior of the MY21 are concentrated in the central display and instrument cluster, with major updates introduced.

There is also the introduction of Active Driving Assist (ADA) in the three models. All MY21 models are complete with an array of technology upgrades, including also the new generation MIA (Maserati Intelligent Assistant) multimedia system. The heart of MIA is the powerful Android Automotive operating system, which offers a completely new, innovative, higher-performing User Experience, with full personalisation to the driver's use preferences.
