en.Wedoany.com Reported - Italian automaker Maserati is planning to launch two new E-segment models, one of which is seen as the successor to the Levante, while the other may take the form of a sports car, grand tourer, or four-door coupe.

Maserati Chief Operating Officer Santo Ficili mentioned a sedan during a conference call discussing the updated Grecale and GranTurismo lineup, increasing the likelihood that the latter will lean toward a sedan design. However, future models may not follow the old patterns of the Ghibli and Quattroporte.

More information: The Quattroporte Grand Finale is Maserati's last V8 model.

According to Road & Track magazine, Ficili stated, "The modern interpretation of a sedan can change," and "there will be a sedan space that is more functional... but still aggressive." This remark hints at a model that blurs the line between sedan and crossover.

Ficili further noted, "The word Quattroporte itself is searching for something new, because ultimately, there is still an unconnected bridge between SUVs and sedans." However, many companies have previously attempted to create a convincing hybrid of the two, often with limited success.

There have been some classic examples in the market, such as the AMC Eagle, but it is by no means the only one. Volvo launched the S60 Cross Country over a decade ago, and Toyota made a similar attempt with the Crown. Additionally, there are numerous rugged wagons, like the new Audi A6 Allroad.

Beyond this hint, Maserati also indicated that the reimagined sedan could arrive relatively soon. Chief Marketing Officer Cristiano Fiorio noted: "Today, we have no presence in this E-segment market, which carries our historical heritage, namely the Quattroporte and Ghibli sedans. To address this, we are developing a new model because there is a clear demand from customers."

Both E-segment models are expected to be launched before 2030, but Maserati's delivery track record is not the best. The company is currently in partnership negotiations, with more details expected to be announced in December.
