After trying out the Quattroporte, I just want to say that buying a Maserati is fun for a while and driving a Maserati is always fun.

Test drive model: President 2019 3.0T Deluxe Edition

Driving index: 80%

When I drove into the parking lot, I saw a When the girl paid her attention and stared blankly at the car without even looking at me as the driver, I instantly understood the meaning of the four words "Maserati".

I have test driven the Levante before, and when I recently tried the Ghibli in Shipai, I completely missed it. Speaking of driving experience, if the Levante drives like listening to a tenor singing an Italian opera, the Quattroporte is like enjoying a never-ending fireworks show, giving you excitement at all times.

3.0T engine, 350 horsepower, 8-speed automatic manual gearbox, acceleration from 0 to 100 kilometers in 5.5 seconds, and top speed of 270 kilometers per hour. Recently, many people in the automotive media, including myself, are saying that if you are used to driving electric cars, you still need better performance cars to achieve the pleasure of electric cars. The Quattroporte is a relatively good performance car.

During regular driving, because of the ample power reserve, you don’t have to think about setbacks at all. As a daily electric car owner, when I drive the Quattroporte to see the scenery at low speeds, I only have one feeling: smoothness. If you want to jog legally on a mountain road, just stay under the speed limit and take off the gas before entering the bend. The legal speed is just a warm-up level for the Quattroporte's suspension. When the car is on the gas at the corner, there will be no big change in the sleeping posture of the rear passengers. The wind continues to blow, and the sun wraps around the blue car body.

If you select sports mode and adjust the suspension, it will be like a knight putting on his armor. The low roar of the exhaust seems to be massaging your soul through the seats. The 5262mm long body instantly becomes the first and one. All you need is your mind, your eyes, and your hands, and you can easily move between the subtleties.

On the highway, at a speed of 120km/h, the speed is only about 1,600 rpm. Of course, what lives up to the name of president is the riding experience in the rear row. The spacious feeling of the seat is not only due to the wrapping on both sides, but also due to the long enough leg rest of the seat cushion. This is not comparable to the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, Audi A6L and the like. Wrapped in leather, the front and rear seats are relatively supportive. But that feeling is right between the comfort of long-distance riding and the hardness required for sports. Just like Brigitte Lin when she was young, if she is more, she is a monster, if she is less, she is charming, and he and she are just right.

Of course, there is also a legendary happiness that combines movement and comfort. When the President's rear seats are electrically adjusted and upright, you will feel the rhythm of the entire vehicle as the driver operates. When you lie down, the bumps on the road basically have nothing to do with you. Here’s another personal preference. When I connected Bluetooth to play music on the President, I realized the value of QQ Music membership’s high-definition audio source. BOWERS & WILKNS speakers let me feel the different outputs of high, medium and bass. Whether it's Adele, Linkin Park, Tsai Chin, or Qi Qin, the feeling of listening to it while sitting with the president is as different as the feeling of listening to it on a scooter, just like the difference between a Manchu banquet and instant noodles.

The Quattroporte is a car that does not need to go off the track, but has the ability to do so. His identity and status are like those of a big shot in a movie, where his strength lies, and his temperament can usually exude majesty. The Maserati brand, which represents Italy's top luxury sports attributes, has given this car another layer of brilliance.

As an ordinary person, when I see videos about Maserati on Douyin, some car self-media and real Maserati owners often have two different views on the quality of Maserati. So when I participated in this test drive organized by Chengdu Poly Maserati, I specifically chatted with their after-sales manager Jiang Zhenming, and I realized that the treatment of Maserati owners is not comparable to that of BBA owners.

In addition to ordinary maintenance, Chengdu Poly Maserati will pick up the vehicle on a truck door for most vehicle problems. A car owner has a WeChat group consisting of after-sales receptionists, after-sales managers, etc. to provide exclusive services. Car owners’ problems can not only be easily informed to the after-sales reception, but can also be directly fed back to the after-sales manager. Coupled with the manufacturer's customer service, 24-hour personal service can be achieved. Chengdu Poly Maserati, with its good service, has won first prize for the Maserati brand nationwide and even globally many times.

In terms of brand services, on the basis of continuous improvement in vehicle quality, after-sales maintenance costs have also been further reduced. It is understood that in recent years, routine maintenance costs have dropped by more than 30%, which has brought significant changes to car owners’ experience. Also, take this epidemic as an example. In the early days, the Shanghai Spare Parts General Warehouse and Chengdu Poly Maserati Dealer in China took active spare parts initiatives. Now that the overseas epidemic has had an impact, the services of Chinese car owners and Chengdu Poly Maserati have not fluctuated.

During this test drive, we laughed and said that micro-business people always "like to mention Maserati" when doing publicity. On the one hand, the influence of the Maserati brand is evident. But on the other hand, they only know the pleasure of buying a Maserati, but they don't know that driving a Maserati will always be a pleasure.
