- Maserati's 3-litre V6 now makes 590hp (+40hp) in the GranTurismo, GranCabrio
- Their Folgore EV versions have a 90km higher claimed range at 540km
- Grecale SUV has also received a mid-lifecycle update
2026 Maserati GranTurismo, GranCabrio: Powertrains
ICE
Both the Maserati GranTurismo and GranCabrio continue to use the brand's 3-litre twin-turbo V6 Nettuno engine, and depending on the variant, develops 490hp (Modena) and 590hp (Trofeo). Notably, peak power output has gone up by 40hp in the top-spec Trofeo, thanks to an increase in turbo boost pressure with some minor modifications. Their respective eight-speed automatic gearboxes have been recalibrated for greater responsiveness.
EV
The electric-only Folgore versions of the GranTurismo and GranCabrio retain their 92.5kWh battery, pack powering a trio of motors - two at the back, one at the front. While combined output in both models remains 761hp, Maserati engineers have been able to increase the claimed single charge range to 540km, 90km more than before. This was made possible by adding a system that disconnects the front motor when not required to reduce energy consumption. The GranTurismo Folgore reaches a top speed of 325kph, while the GranCabrio Folgore maxes out at 290kph.
All versions are also equipped as standard with all-wheel drive and air suspension. Maserati has also given the two models a new 'Country' drive mode for use on rougher road surfaces, which raises the ride height by 25mm at speeds of up to 120kph.
2026 Maserati GranTurismo, GranCabrio: Exterior changes
The new front end gets reshaped air intakes along with a central splitter, which Maserati says is designed to increase front downforce. At the rear, the lights now get clear lenses.
Through the Officine Fuoriserie personalisation programme, buyers can also choose from seven new exterior colours: Green Jupiter Matte, Blu Denim, Bronzo Lucido or Matte, Grigio Mistero, Rosso Velluto and Oro Lirico. The range also includes new coloured badges, along with exhaust tips in new colours. Save for different design for the wheels, a convertible roof and absence of rear exhaust tips, not a lot separates the EV version from its ICE counterpart.
2026 Maserati GranTurismo, GranCabrio: Feature upgrades
Inside, a new racing-inspired steering wheel stands out. It has flat upper and lower sections, dark satin aluminium spokes, and is available with perforated leather. The digital clock has also been redesigned, with a metal bezel, octagonal shape, new graphics and a pop-up function for mode changes. The drive selector gets metal-finished controls, while the steering-wheel paddles now include a parking function. The cabin also gets a 12.3-inch central touchscreen, an 8.8-inch HVAC display, a 12.2-inch instrument cluster and a head-up display. There is also a new monitoring system that detects driver distraction and fatigue.
2026 Maserati GranTurismo, GranCabrio: India launch
When asked by Autocar India about the launch timeline for the updated models, Maserati said it is currently focusing on strengthening its presence in India through an expanded dealer network. The brand is currently in discussions with local investors to grow its retail footprint. On June 12, Maserati announced that Navnit Motors will begin retail operations in Mumbai, adding to its existing dealerships in Delhi and Bengaluru. Alongside the GranTurismo and GranCabrio, Maserati also sells the Grecale SUV and MCPura supercar in India.
At the same time, Maserati is awaiting greater clarity on the India-EU free trade agreement (FTA), aimed at drastically dropping car import duties. In anticipation of the FTA rollout, brands such as Ferrari has already started accepting orders at prices that are around 30 percent lower.
