The enhanced Maserati Quattroporte and Levante models go into production in July.

Maserati's long march toward full electrification will begin in April with the unveiling of an updated version of the Ghibli boasting a plug-in hybrid powertrain.

Maserati will then introduce similar updated versions of the Quattroporte and Levante, which will go into production in July at their respective factories in Turin, Italy.

For the Levante mid-size SUV, this update is the first since it was introduced to the market as a 2017 model. For the Quattroporte, however, it will be the second time. The current generation of Maserati full-size sedans was introduced in the 2014 model year, with the first update in 2017.

Details of the Levante and Quattroporte updates have not been announced, but they are expected to benefit from styling changes, available plug-in hybrid powertrains, and semi-autonomous electronic driver assistance features.

Maserati will have a busy year ahead, as the company will also soon unveil its long-awaited sports car, which was announced on Thursday to be part of the supercar segment. Maserati also announced a new name for the car, the MC20, to link it to the MC12, the Ferrari Enzo-based supercar launched in 2004.

The MC20 will debut at the Geneva International Motor Show on March 3. It will debut with an internal combustion engine, but a battery-electric powertrain is also planned at some point in its life cycle. An open-top model will also be available. Maserati will build the MC20 at its Modena, Italy plant, which previously produced the GranTurismo.

Following the sports car will be another new model, this time a small SUV. This will be produced at the Cassino plant in Italy and is expected to appear in early 2021. The Cassino plant is where Alfa Romeo, another Fiat Chrysler Automobiles brand, builds its small SUV, the Stelvio, and the two models will likely share a common undercarriage.

Maserati will then unveil a redesigned GranTurismo in late 2021, with an option for a GranTurismo convertible (GranCabrio outside the U.S.) in 2022; this new model will be built at the Turin plant and will be battery-electric and power may be offered only.

According to the latest plans, Maserati will then introduce redesigned versions of the Quattroporte and Levante in 2022 and 2023, respectively. These two models will have the option of battery electric power.
