2025 Maserati GranCabrio – Overview

 

The 2025 Maserati GranCabrio lives in a sunny, carefree world of its own making—yet it’s no mere daydream. Beneath its open-air glamour lies the solid foundation of its GranTurismo coupe sibling, sharing the same spirited twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V-6 engine, an eight-speed automatic transmission, and standard all-wheel drive. Maserati insists the convertible was part of the master plan from the very beginning, and it shows in the cohesive design.

Rear seating is more generous than you’ll find in many luxury sports coupes and convertibles, though legroom remains tight. Adding the optional wind blocker to calm cabin turbulence effectively transforms the rear into extra luggage space, as it makes the seats unusable. For those riding up front, that’s hardly an issue—they can toggle between five drive modes and unleash the GranCabrio’s performance with a push of the throttle.

While rivals like the Mercedes-AMG SL and Porsche 911 may edge it out on paper with more power or sharper dynamics, the GranCabrio offers something harder to measure: an unmistakable blend of elegance, style, and Italian charisma that few can rival.

 


When Is The 2025 Maserati GranCabrio Coming Out?

 

Maserati has confirmed that the 2025 GranCabrio will arrive in dealerships in late 2025, with pre-orders already open at select Maserati showrooms. Early deliveries are expected to coincide with the start of the 2025 model year.

    What’s New for 2025 Maserati GranCabrio?

     

    For 2025, Maserati expands the GranCabrio lineup with a new base model producing 483 horsepower, giving buyers a slightly more accessible entry point into the brand’s open-air grand tourer. Beyond this addition, the GranCabrio carries over unchanged, retaining its blend of Italian elegance, performance, and top-down driving appeal.

     


    Pricing and Which One to Buy

     

    The 2025 Maserati GranCabrio carries a starting price of $168,395, with higher trims and options pushing the total up to $200,395.

     

    Trim Starting MSRP (est.)
    GranCabrio
    $168,395
    Trofeo
    $200,395

     

    The GranCabrio Trofeo carries a notable price premium over its coupe counterpart, but both offer a wealth of customization options. Our recommendation would be to add the Comfort Package, which brings ventilated seats and a wind deflector for an even more enjoyable open-top experience.

    Buyers can choose from six standard paint colors—Bianco Astro, Nero Assoluto, Blu Modena, Verde Giada, Grigio Incognito, and Grigio Maratea Matte—or explore 26 bespoke Fuoriserie shades available through the Corse and Futura collections, which also expand interior design possibilities. Additional upgrades include a premium audio system, head-up display, and a driver-assist package with adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and other advanced safety features.

    Maserati has hinted at introducing a more affordable Modena trim in the future, but for now, details remain unconfirmed.

     


    Engine, Transmission, and Performance

     

    Powering the 2025 Maserati GranCabrio is the same 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V-6 found in the GranTurismo coupe. In the base model, it produces 483 horsepower, while the Trofeo trim turns up the wick to 542 horsepower. This engine is a detuned variant of the MC20 supercar’s twin-turbo V-6, featuring a distinctive twin-combustion system inspired by Formula 1 technology. An eight-speed automatic transmission sends power to all four wheels.

    Drivers can choose from four drive modes—Comfort, GT, Sport, and Corsa—with the latter offering the option to fully disable electronic aids for those confident in their skills. Though we haven’t yet driven the GranCabrio, it’s expected to deliver handling and ride characteristics similar to the GranTurismo coupe. That means an adaptive air suspension capable of shifting from a smooth, refined ride in Comfort mode to a sharper, more responsive feel in Sport mode, complete with firmer damping, weightier steering, and a throatier exhaust note.

    So far, Maserati has made no mention of hybrid or all-electric variants, keeping the GranCabrio purely combustion-powered—for now.

      0–60-MPH Times

       

      Maserati estimates the GranCabrio Trofeo will sprint from 0 to 60 mph in 3.6 seconds—just a tenth slower than the GranTurismo coupe with the same engine and transmission. The convertible tips the scales at 4,317 pounds, about 245 pounds heavier than its coupe counterpart, which helps explain the slight difference.

      That said, Maserati’s figure might be on the cautious side. In Car and Driver testing, the GranTurismo coupe posted an impressive 3.2-second run, suggesting the GranCabrio could be quicker than its official spec sheet claims.

       


      Fuel Economy and Real-World MPG

       

      The 2025 Maserati GranCabrio carries EPA estimates of 17 mpg city and 26 mpg highway, just one mile per gallon lower than the GranTurismo coupe. Once we have a production model in hand, we’ll conduct our 75-mph highway fuel economy test to see how it performs in real-world conditions.

      Interior, Comfort, and Cargo

       

      he 2025 Maserati GranCabrio follows the classic GT formula of a two-door with seating for four, enhanced by a convertible roof that adds a touch of open-air drama. The cabin is adorned with high-quality materials and upscale finishes, reflecting Maserati’s commitment to luxury. Front-seat comfort and outward visibility mirror the GranTurismo coupe, making the GranCabrio a practical choice for everyday driving.

      To ensure the convertible delivers comfort on par with the coupe, Maserati includes thoughtful features such as a standard neck warmer, which circulates warm air around the head and neck with three intensity settings. An optional wind-stopper mounts behind the front seats, reducing turbulence when the top is down. While it renders the rear seats unusable, it also protects items placed there and helps maintain cabin comfort without compromising the car’s elegant lines.

      Maserati has not disclosed how the folding top affects trunk space (the GranTurismo coupe offers 10.9 cubic feet), but an optional cargo divider helps keep belongings organized when driving with the top down. It can be removed to expand storage when the top is up, offering versatility for longer trips.

        Infotainment and Connectivity

         

        The 2025 Maserati GranCabrio shares its infotainment system with the GranTurismo, featuring a Google-based interface first introduced on the Grecale. A 12.3-inch central touchscreen dominates the dashboard, complemented by a smaller 8.8-inch display below for climate control functions. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are included and operate wirelessly for seamless smartphone integration.

        A head-up display projects essential information—such as speed and navigation directions—directly in the driver’s line of sight. For audio, the GranCabrio benefits from Italian craftsmanship by Sonus Faber. The standard Premium system delivers 13 speakers with 2D surround sound, while the optional High Premium system expands to 16 speakers, offers 2D and 3D surround sound programs, and pumps out 1,195 watts of amplifier power for an immersive listening experience.

          Safety and Driver-Assistance Features

           

          The 2025 Maserati GranCabrio comes equipped with the same standard driver-assistance features as the GranTurismo, while more advanced technologies are available through the ADAS Package 2 safety suite. For detailed crash-test results, visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) websites.

          Key safety features include:

          • Standard automated emergency braking

          • Available lane-departure warning with lane-keeping assist

          • Available adaptive cruise control

           


          Warranty and Maintenance Coverage

           

          The 2025 Maserati GranCabrio comes with a standard warranty that covers four years or 50,000 miles, matching the powertrain coverage. Unlike some competitors, such as the Porsche 911, Maserati does not include complimentary scheduled maintenance, which may be a consideration for buyers weighing long-term ownership costs.

          • Limited warranty: 4 years or 50,000 miles

          • Powertrain warranty: 4 years or 50,000 miles

          • Scheduled maintenance: Not included
