The Maserati brand is ready to rise and shine. 2020 promises to be the comeback year for the brand. After taking a financial dIp in 2018, the Italian automaker still promises more exciting releases in the coming years. First, the plan was to unveil new models in 2022, but they have revised the roadmap. Instead, Maserati plans to refresh three of its current luxury cars- the Levante, Ghibli, and Quattroporte.
Though, the new plan differs significantly from 2018 to 2022 blueprint. Car enthusiasts should still expect new models. They scheduled the new Quattroporte for 2022 while slating the new Levante for release in 2023. Surprisingly, the new Ghibli is missing in the plan.
The new Maserati plan leans more on reshuffling and not the overall redrawing as some might expect. Apart from the three refreshes slated for launch next year, the manufacturer will also welcome the new electric, Alfieri. A model concept released at Geneva motor show in 2014. And now, five years later, the company is ready for its mass production of these sought after dream cars.
