Is Maserati Automatic or Manual Transmission?
2 Answers
Maserati offers both automatic and manual transmissions, as there are many different models, so it cannot be generalized. Maserati models include: Ghibli: The new car borrows elements from the sixth-generation Quattroporte and GranTurismo, but the overall image is sharper, more stylish, and dynamic. It is equipped with twin-turbocharged V6 and V8 gasoline engines, and for the first time, a diesel option is introduced—Maserati's 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 diesel engine will serve as the entry-level powertrain for the Ghibli. GranTurismo MC Stradale: This is the fastest, lightest, and most powerful sports car in the Maserati lineup. It is powered by a 4.7-liter V8 engine, producing 331 kW (450 hp), with a top speed of 303 km/h and a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of just 4.5 seconds. Levante: The Maserati Levante features an aluminum body. In terms of powertrain, it offers three options: a 3.0-liter V6 twin-turbo, a 3.8-liter V8 twin-turbo gasoline engine, and a 3.0-liter V6 turbocharged diesel engine. For transmission, the new car is equipped with an 8-speed automatic transmission, and it also comes with a four-wheel-drive system.
Hey, I see this question. Nowadays, Maserati models are mostly equipped with automatic transmissions, and manual transmissions are quite rare in their lineup. This seems to be the trend in the current automotive market, as everyone prefers convenient and hassle-free driving experiences. Personally, I've driven the Maserati Levante, which comes with an automatic transmission, and it felt incredibly smooth, making city driving in heavy traffic much easier. Automatic transmissions are standard in models like the Ghibli or Quattroporte, featuring advanced technology with quick shift times that pair perfectly with the V6 or V8 engines. Without the hassle of a manual transmission, you can focus more on the joy of driving. I've also heard that manual transmissions have basically been phased out in Maserati's product line, mainly due to changes in modern transportation needs and the fact that automatics are more fuel-efficient and reliable. If you're a manual transmission enthusiast, you might have to look for a used older model or explore other brands.
