The Maserati GranTurismo is the brand’s modern interpretation of a grand touring coupe: a car designed to cover long distances quickly while providing four real seats, a refined cabin and the emotional character expected from an Italian performance brand. The latest generation is produced in Modena and has received a major update for the 2027 model range. For buyers in Pakistan, however, it should be viewed as a specialist import rather than a vehicle supported by a clearly published nationwide factory price list or local online configurator.

The petrol range includes a 490 hp version and the more powerful Trofeo, whose 3.0-litre twin-turbo Nettuno V6 now produces 590 hp. Both combine rapid performance with all-wheel-drive traction and an automatic transmission, making the GranTurismo easier to use in changing road conditions than a traditional rear-wheel-drive supercar. The electric GranTurismo Folgore uses an 800-volt architecture, a 92.5 kWh gross battery and three electric motors. It delivers extremely strong acceleration while supporting high-power DC charging on compatible infrastructure.

The cabin is designed around four-seat usability rather than a token two-seat layout. Front occupants receive supportive seats, a digital instrument display, central infotainment screen and a separate comfort display for climate functions. Depending on trim and options, equipment can include wireless smartphone integration, navigation, premium Sonus faber audio, head-up display, adaptive cruise control, lane assistance, parking cameras and extensively configurable leather, Alcantara and carbon-fibre finishes. Imported cars may rely on online services or regional accounts that do not operate fully in Pakistan.

Grand touring comfort is supported by adaptive suspension, strong cabin insulation and a driving position suited to motorway travel. The rear seats are more useful than those in many exotic coupes, although access remains tighter than in a sedan. Luggage capacity is adequate for weekend travel but not generous by family-car standards. The updated model also introduces revised styling, new wheels, refreshed interior controls and additional Fuoriserie paint choices, allowing a level of personalisation that can make exact replacement paint or trim difficult to source locally.

Ownership planning is essential. Nettuno petrol models should use the recommended high-quality fuel and require disciplined servicing of the twin-turbo engine, cooling system, transmission and all-wheel-drive hardware. Folgore buyers need a compatible home charging solution, correct CCS charging equipment, battery health documentation and access to technicians trained in high-voltage systems. Large performance tyres, brakes, suspension parts, body panels and electronic modules can be expensive and may need overseas ordering.

Before buying a GranTurismo in Pakistan, verify the chassis number, original market specification, customs documents, service history, recall status, accident repairs, software updates, warranty transfer and availability of diagnostic support. A well-sourced example can deliver a rare combination of beauty, comfort, performance and four-seat practicality, but the safest purchase is a mechanically original car whose equipment and maintenance history have been independently confirmed.
