You thought sedans were dead? Not so fast. Maserati just made one thing clear — writing off the four-door with the Trident is premature, even in an era when the entire planet has gone SUV-mad.
At the reveal of the 2027 lineup, brand COO Santo Ficili came right out and said it: sooner or later “a sort of sedan” will return — a model inspired by the Ghibli and Quattroporte, but reimagined for a market now hooked on SUV silhouettes. Hard details? Zero. Name, platform, powertrain, debut date — all locked away. But here’s the fact that matters: the segment has been named a priority.
Why now? Ficili points to heritage: Maserati has history in the E-segment built around these two names, and customer demand never went away. People still want a sedan. And Maserati is finally listening.
The third-generation Ghibli M157 left the production line in 2023 after a decade in the lineup. The Quattroporte quietly followed once its lifecycle closed. Since then the brand hasn’t had a single sedan on sale. Three years of silence — for a marque with that bloodline, that’s practically an eternity.
Bringing the four-door Trident back isn’t just filling a hole in the range. It’s a statement: Maserati wants to remind the world it can build more than SUVs. And if the hints out of Modena are anything to go by, the conversation is only just starting — more details are promised later this year.
