The lineup includes the GranTurismo and GranTurismo Trofeo. The standard model produces 483 horsepower, while the Trofeo raises output to 542 horsepower. Both versions balance long-distance comfort with serious pace and an upscale cabin. This Maserati GranTurismo stays true to the classic grand tourer formula rather than chasing a harder-edged sports car identity. Fuoriserie personalization remains available, giving buyers access to a broader range of bespoke colors, materials, and finishes.What's New for 2026?The biggest change for 2026 is a naming update in the gasoline lineup. The base trim is now simply called GranTurismo, replacing the Modena designation previously used for the standard version. AdvertisementAdvertisementA sports exhaust is now standard, and there's a new Meccanica Lirica package that comes with many gold-colored details, including the exhaust tips and badging, as well as a tan-and-burgundy interior that Maserati says is best combined with Oro Lirico (gold) or Rosso Velluto (dark red) paintwork.ExteriorThe 2026 GranTurismo coupe keeps the long-hood, short-deck proportions expected of a front-engine Italian coupe. The shape is clean and low, with a broad grille, swept-back lighting, and muscular rear haunches that give the car presence without relying on excessive visual drama. The standard GranTurismo coupe looks elegant rather than aggressive, while the Trofeo adds sharper fascias, darker exterior detailing, and a more performance-focused appearance. It remains a substantial coupe, but the styling does a good job of disguising that size and preserving the classic grand-touring silhouette.MaseratiView the 3 images of this gallery on the original articleInteriorInside, the 2026 GranTurismo uses a 2+2 layout with a clear focus on front-seat comfort and presentation. The dashboard combines digital displays with upscale materials, while the center stack relies heavily on screens for infotainment and climate functions. Standard equipment includes premium audio, smartphone integration, navigation, and power-adjustable front seats.AdvertisementAdvertisementThe Trofeo adds richer trim details, but both models deliver the same basic sense of occasion. Rear seating works best for shorter trips or smaller passengers, which is typical for the class. Trunk space is modest, though useful for weekend touring luggage. Maserati also offers the GranTurismo as a convertible, named the GranCabrio.MaseratiView the 3 images of this gallery on the original articlePrice Range and Best Value TrimThe 2026 Maserati GranTurismo's price starts at $145,000 for the GranTurismo and rises to $166,000 for the GranTurismo Trofeo. That makes this a two-trim gasoline lineup.Trim LevelPriceBase (cheapest): GranTurismo$145,000Top (most expensive): GranTurismo Trofeo$166,000Best value: GranTurismo$145,000The best value is the standard GranTurismo, because it keeps the same core engine architecture, transmission, Q4 all-wheel-drive system, and grand-touring character. At $166,000, the Trofeo adds 59 horsepower, an electronic limited-slip differential, Corsa mode, and other performance-focused equipment.Key SpecsEvery gasoline 2026 GranTurismo uses Maserati's twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter Nettuno V6. Both trims use an 8-speed ZF automatic transmission and standard Q4 all-wheel drive. The overall setup places the GranTurismo closer to a fast, refined long-distance coupe than a stripped-down track special.PowertrainModelHPTorque0-60Top SpeedGranTurismo483 hp442 lb-ft3.7 sec188 mphGranTurismo Trofeo542 hp479 lb-ft3.3 sec199 mphFuel Economy (MPG)Fuel economy is respectable for a luxury performance coupe with standard all-wheel drive and a twin-turbo V6, but it does not lead the segment.CityHighwayCombined182721Both trims share identical EPA ratings. DimensionsThe GranTurismo is a large, substantial coupe with proportions that favor cabin comfort and highway stability more than compact agility. That gives it more visual presence and a more relaxed touring character than smaller alternatives such as the Porsche 911. It also helps the Maserati feel more like a true long-distance grand tourer than a traditional sports coupe.SpecDetailLength / Width / Height195.2 in. / 77.0 in. / 53.3 in.Wheelbase115.3 in.Seating4 passengers (2+2)Curb Weight3,957 lbsWarrantyMaserati backs the GranTurismo with a transferable 4-year, 50,000-mile new-car limited warranty and 24/7 roadside assistance.

It is fast, refined, visually distinctive, and comfortable enough to justify its role as a high-end long-distance coupe rather than a pure sports car. The Trofeo is the more aggressive choice, but the standard GranTurismo makes the most sense for the broadest range of buyers. For shoppers comparing the 2026 GranTurismo with German and Japanese rivals, the appeal lies less in outright numbers and more in the way this Maserati GranTurismo blends character, comfort, and pace.MaseratiCompetitorsBMW M8 CoupeLexus LC 500Mercedes-AMG GT CoupePorsche 911AdvertisementAdvertisementThis story was originally published by Autoblog on Jul 27, 2026, where it first appeared in the Cars section.
