The new Maserati Quattroporte is big news for the Italian marque. The car is kick-starting the firm’s ambitions to increase sales ten-fold, so the stakes have never been higher. Steve Sutcliffe pitches it against our favourite luxury car, the Jaguar XJ to see which is best.

Totally pointless and biased conclusion. Not surprising coming from Autocar aka JLR PR firm. If somebody buys a 4-door Maserati is precisely in order to feel the guts of the engine and the road. If they want a cotton cushy pampering ride they will go for an S-Class or 750iL, get a grip. The QP is considerably lighter than the M5 by the way.
isnt the M5 faster?
come on, response only for one MPH!!
you can do 191 on downhill XD
Probably in a couple of month we will love the style! Never judge from the first view!
Grazie!
well, from my point of you it would be the porsche panamera. from a normal persons point of view it’s the benz brit’s are a bit biased when it comes to british cars …
ps. brabus cars are faster and they are car builder too …
I love both cars but the xj has those stupid black c pillars that ruin it
The XJ is the class leader ? Really ? Not too sure about that.
You are correct, but in the automotive world right now the Chinese market is the fastest growing and will offer the most gains to the manufacturers that win there compared to all others.
the old quattroporte GTS is one of my favorite cars, but this fails badly in my view due to it’s audi-like back and ugly face. I would take the Jag in a heartbeat
it’s autocar.co.uk
nobody gives a fuck what they say
nice cars
but i’d take perfect BMW-Merc-Audi as every smart person will do
I hope it doesn’t have an electronic top speed limiter ,or if it does ,I hope we will have the de-activation choice for it …….!
I am very glad for his statement ,but there isn’t only China on this planet !
191mph and it is the fastest 4 door production car in the world ?
im sorry .. but … how about M5 ?
He said the Quattroporte was a great car! He just said that he’s not sure if 45000 rich Chinese men are going to be buying them because he said it doesn’t feel like a proper limo, which is typically what does well in the Chinese luxury car market.
Looks dont help at all
It has always been ugly
Still look like a big buick, not as ugly as the first one, perhaps its now a big Buick Maxima.. but its still unremarkable in its styling.
This guy is such a jerk who think he is smarter than a team of engineers, test drivers, and a CEO of a company. They invested tons of money and time to develop something “bad”? I mean, WTF. Who care about what he prefer, Jag or Maser. why not put them into some far more interesting tests: drag race, luxurious equipment comparison, interior, exterior, etc… to make the video more fun and let the buyer decide for themselves about the performance and characters of each car. It’s just so BORING!
It´s a 5,30 meter long sedan, dude. Flagship sedans must be aesthetically sober.
Prove him wrong.
Indeed, take the limiter away on a S65 AMG and you have a luxury sedan that can do near 320km/h…
It looks like a Kia….the old one technically was bad… but it had flair like no other… this one is just Korean with Ferrari-performance…
