Maserati could revive plans for its next-generation Quattroporte sedan and Levante SUV by leveraging Alfa Romeo’s platforms and components, according to comments made by Alfa Romeo and Maserati CEO Santo Ficili to Autocar. The strategy comes after Stellantis reportedly halted major investments in Maserati and paused development of new models in 2023.
The redesigned Alfa Romeo Giulia and Stelvio could provide the foundation for Maserati’s upcoming models, using Stellantis’ STLA Large platform. The same platform underpins vehicles such as the Dodge Charger and Jeep Wagoneer S, offering flexibility for internal combustion, plug-in hybrid, and electric powertrains.
Ficili said the company is prioritizing “synergies” between Alfa Romeo and Maserati while ensuring brand separation remains clear. He added that customer uncertainty around fully electric models is influencing Maserati’s product planning. As a result, future Quattroporte and Levante models may offer mild hybrid and plug-in hybrid options alongside battery-electric variants.
Sharing architecture with Alfa Romeo could accelerate development timelines and reduce costs, though it also risks creating similarities between the two brands’ lineups. Ficili acknowledged the need to balance efficiency with distinct design and positioning to maintain Maserati’s premium identity.
