The Gran Turismo got a refresh in 2024 with new styling, updated technology, and interior improvements

Maserati updated the Gran Turismo in 2024 with changes that touch nearly every part of the car. The front end has a new grille and headlight design, the interior received a larger touchscreen and revised controls, and the engine lineup shifted to include only plug-in hybrid and electric powertrains. If you own an older Gran Turismo or are comparing model years, these changes represent the most significant update since the car's 2017 introduction.

The facelift was designed to keep the Gran Turismo competitive in a market moving toward electrification and to refresh its appearance after seven years. The changes are visible from the outside but most noticeable inside, where the infotainment system and cabin layout differ substantially from the pre-2024 versions.

Key Takeaways

  • The 2024 facelift replaced the traditional gasoline engine with a plug-in hybrid option and an all-electric variant, eliminating the V8 engine that powered earlier models.
  • The front fascia now features a redesigned grille, new LED headlights, and updated bumper styling that gives the car a more modern appearance.
  • The interior dashboard was redesigned around a larger, vertically oriented touchscreen that replaces the smaller, horizontally mounted unit in previous years.
  • Maserati added new driver information features and updated the infotainment software to include wireless smartphone integration and improved voice controls.

Exterior styling changes on the front and rear

The front of the 2024 Gran Turismo looks noticeably different from earlier versions. The grille is now larger and more angular, with a different mesh pattern and chrome surround. The headlights are entirely new LED units with a different internal design and a sharper, more geometric shape that extends further down the fender.

The bumper was resculpted with new air intakes and a revised lower section. The hood line remains similar, but the overall front end appears wider and more aggressive. At the rear, the taillights received new LED graphics, and the bumper was updated with a different diffuser design. The side profile stayed largely the same, though some trim and badging changed to reflect the new powertrain options.

Engine and powertrain options shifted to hybrid and electric

The most significant mechanical change is the removal of the 4.7-liter V8 engine that powered the Gran Turismo since 2017. The 2024 facelift offers two powertrains: a plug-in hybrid and a fully electric option. The plug-in hybrid combines a turbocharged gasoline engine with an electric motor and battery, allowing both gas and electric-only driving. The all-electric version uses a large battery pack and produces power entirely from electricity.

This shift reflects Maserati's broader move toward electrification across its lineup. The plug-in hybrid offers a middle ground for drivers who want the range and refueling convenience of gasoline with the efficiency and low-emission capability of electric power. The all-electric version targets buyers who want zero tailpipe emissions and lower operating costs, though it requires access to charging infrastructure.

Interior redesign centers on a larger touchscreen and new dashboard layout

The cabin of the 2024 Gran Turismo looks substantially different from the pre-facelift model. The most obvious change is the new touchscreen, which is larger and mounted vertically in the center of the dashboard instead of the previous horizontal orientation. This new screen runs Maserati's updated infotainment software and handles climate control, navigation, and vehicle settings through a revised menu structure.

The steering wheel was redesigned with new button layouts and capacitive touch controls instead of traditional mechanical switches. The instrument cluster behind the steering wheel is now fully digital and customizable. The center console was reshaped, and the gear selector changed from a traditional lever to a push-button system. Storage compartments were repositioned, and the overall cabin layout feels more modern and less cluttered than the previous design.

Technology and driver information features added or updated

The 2024 facelift brought new driver information systems that were either absent or optional on earlier models. These include adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go capability, lane-keeping information, and automatic emergency braking. The infotainment system now supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, eliminating the need for a cable connection to your phone.

Voice control was improved to understand more natural speech patterns and commands. The navigation system was updated with real-time traffic data and the ability to integrate charging station locations for the hybrid and electric models. Over-the-air software updates became possible, meaning Maserati can push improvements and new features to the car without requiring a dealership visit.

Trim levels and color options changed for 2024

Maserati reorganized the trim structure for the 2024 model year. The previous lineup was simplified, and new option packages were introduced that bundle technology and comfort features differently than before. Some colors were discontinued while new paint options were added, including new metallic finishes and matte options that were not available on earlier models.

The wheel designs are new across the board, with different sizes and styles offered depending on the trim level and powertrain choice. Upholstery options were expanded, and some interior trim materials changed — for example, certain models now use sustainable materials in place of traditional leather or plastic components.

What stayed the same between model years

Despite the significant updates, some core aspects of the Gran Turismo remained unchanged. The overall body shape and proportions are recognizable as the same car, and the wheelbase and overall length stayed the same. The trunk space and rear seat legroom were not substantially altered. The basic driving position and visibility out the windows remain similar to the pre-facelift version.

The brand identity and design language that made the Gran Turismo distinctive were preserved, even as individual elements were updated. If you are familiar with the pre-2024 model, you will recognize the 2024 version when ready, but the refinements and new technology make it feel like a more current car.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get the new Gran Turismo with a traditional gasoline V8 engine?

No. Maserati discontinued the V8 engine for the 2024 facelift and replaced it entirely with the plug-in hybrid and all-electric options. If you want the V8, you would need to purchase a pre-2024 model from the used market.

Is the new touchscreen compatible with my phone?

The 2024 infotainment system supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, so you can mirror most smartphone functions without plugging in a cable. Wired connections are still available if you prefer them.

How much more expensive is the 2024 facelift compared to the previous generation?

Pricing varies by market and powertrain choice, and Maserati adjusts prices annually. The plug-in hybrid and electric versions may carry different price points than the V8 did. Contact a Maserati dealer in your region for current pricing on specific trim levels.

Do the new driver information features work on all trim levels?

Driver information features are available on the 2024 Gran Turismo, though some are standard and others are optional depending on the trim level and package you choose. Check the specific trim details with a dealer to see which features come with each configuration.

Will my pre-2024 Gran Turismo parts fit the new model?

Some parts may be compatible, but many components changed for 2024, including the front fascia, interior trim, and all powertrain parts. Before purchasing parts or attempting repairs, confirm compatibility with a Maserati service center, as mixing old and new parts can cause fit or function issues.
