When Maserati introduced the MC20 earlier this month, the company didn’t say much about the car’s 10.25-inch infotainment system.
That’s changing today as the Italian brand has tapped TomTom to provide maps, navigation software and connected services for the upcoming model.
While the MC20 won’t arrive until next year, users will be able to experience the TomTom features in the updated Ghibli, Levante and Quattroporte. The models will hit the road in October and come with features such as “IQ Maps, traffic, connected navigation services, destination prediction, and a premium user interface.”

Since Maserati is embracing electrification with their upcoming Folgore range, the infotainment system will have EV services which show charging point locations and availability. The models will also have dynamic range mapping, which enables drivers to easily visualize their vehicle’s remaining range.
If owners can’t make it to their destination, they’ll be notified and pointed to a recharging or refueling station. They’ll also be presented with a cost comparison showing available stations within range.
The technology isn’t limited to the infotainment system as information – such as turn-by-turn directions, hazard warnings and speed camera alerts – will also be displayed in the instrument cluster. Users will also be able to customize the interface to suit their preferences.
In a statement, TomTom Automotive managing director Antoine Saucier said “We are delighted that our premium navigation will now power Maserati’s exclusive sports cars.” He added, drivers “will benefit from seamless connectivity and automatic over-the-air map updates so they can get in and get going.”
