The Maserati company, which is part of the Stellantis corporation, presented the second generation GranCabrio convertible: in terms of technology and design, it is maximally unified with the Maserati coupe The second generation GranTurismo, which entered the world market last year.
The new GranCabrio is perhaps the last all-original Maserati model developed in isolation from the current and future platforms of parent corporation Stellantis. At the end of January, we introduced readers to Maserati's official plans for the coming years — there are no more technical exclusives in them, so for true Maserati fans, the new GranCabrio may become a particularly welcome new product.
The new GranCabrio looks cool, it has a very clean profile with no protrusions above the beltline — just a couple of small fairings behind the rear headrests. The fabric roof is equipped with an electric drive; it can be folded at speeds of up to 50 km/h, the process takes 14 seconds. It takes a little longer to raise the roof — 16 seconds. The volume of the trunk with the top up has decreased from 310 to 172 liters compared to the coupe, and if the roof is removed, only 131 liters remain for bags. Fortunately, the convertible retains the four-seat coupe interior configuration; some luggage can be placed on the second-row seats.

The front seats of the convertible are equipped with a system for supplying warm air to the neck area. A wind deflector can be placed over the rear seats to reduce air turbulence in the cabin when driving at high speeds. The rest of the interior is the same as the coupe: the instrument screen has a diagonal of 12.2 inches, the multimedia screen has a diagonal of 12.3 inches. Under the multimedia screen there is a block of transmission control keys and another 8.8-inch touch screen responsible for microclimate settings.
