4 – SAFETY

The new Quattroporte’s safety system has been tested with hundreds of simulations, thus guaranteeing the high level of passenger protection required by the strictest European and US standards (FMVSS, Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard).

The front airbags (driver and passenger) are dual-stage, with inflation always directly related to the intensity of the impact.

The new passenger air bag system, equipped with Low Risk Deployment feature, guarantees maximal security in all cases of frontal impact.

Thanks to a combination of different elements, the air bag can conveniently adapt to all situations: additional holes allow reduction of pressure when the air bag impacts against an obstacle near the dashboard; the low concave part has been conceived to protect children in their baby-seats; finally the two lateral sections support the shoulders, thus reducing pressure on the head and thorax of adult passengers.

In case of lateral impact, the side-bags integrated in the front seats and the window-bags inflate to protect the head and upper-body of the front and rear passengers.

Their action is synergic with that of the safety belts, equipped with pre-tensioners and load limiters, to retain the occupants even in case of a particularly violent deceleration.

The rear “Isofix” attachments offer a solid fastening for child seats, and ensure that the youngest passengers are adequately protected.

The New Quattroporte’s standard safety equipment includes laminated glass for all windows, obtained by binding two sheets of semi-tempered glass together, separated by a thin plastic laminate (PVB). This highly-resistant solution offers important advantages compared to normal tempered glass in terms of safety, as well as excellent thermal and acoustic insulation. 

5 – INTERIOR

THE BEST IN COMFORT

Stylish, superbly crafted finishing touches are combined with the spacious, comfortable interior of a saloon car specifically designed for travelling. The Quattroporte is just as roomy as ever, with a new look that can be experienced above all from the driver’s seat, with enhanced ergonomics featuring:

  • a more comfortable seat configuration, with five sets of piping,
  • a multifunction steering-wheel with a racing grip,
  • controls arranged closer together on the centre console,
  • new graphics for the instrument panel and clock face (consistent with the style of the GranTurismo),
  • additional small storage compartment in the central tunnel,
  • passenger air bag integrated in the dashboard.

Rear seat passengers will now experience an even more comfortable journey, with excellent noise insulation and no vibrations. The laminated glass, the new suspension setup and excellent rigidity of the body once again give the new Quattroporte the highest levels of comfort.

MATERIALS: FINE WOODS AND POLTRONA FRAUâ LEATHER

Along with the outstanding technical solutions reflecting the high-performance essence of the range, the new Quattroporte boasts exclusive, elegant interior finishes. The materials used and attention to detail express the best of traditional Italian craftsmanship – an integral feature of Maserati DNA.

NEW WOODS

Wood – a classic, natural material, pleasant to see and touch, capable of creating a warm atmosphere – is used in the new Quattroporte for large panelled surfaces as well as small decorative inlays, with a process that requires great skill as well as the most sophisticated, precision technologies.

The range of woods now includes three new exclusive, refined types: Starwood, Vavona and Polished Wenge

Those who prefer a more avant-garde look may choose from Black Piano or the original Blu Laque.

POLTRONA FRAUâ LEATHERS

The Quattroporte range features Poltrona Frauâ leather as standard. Poltrona Frauâ leather is renowned worldwide as an outstanding example of the best Italian craftsmanship; it is unique, because of the richness of the material used and the traditional techniques employed.

After being meticulously selected, Poltrona Frauâ leathers undergo a special process combining mechanical and manual techniques. The purpose is to obtain the best quality and a pleasant feel when touched. Subsequent treatments add softness, durability, strength and usability to its refined appearance. The leather is warm and inviting in winter, fresh and cool in summer, with the added advantage that its beauty is enhanced as it ages.

Marrone Corniola, a contemporary dark brown shade, makes its debut on the Quattroporte S, while Sabbia replaces Beige.
