About the Maserati Ghibli
Providing a perfect combination of four-door luxury and track-inspired performance, the Maserati Ghibli has remained an icon since its introduction back in 1966. You’ll have your choice of two responsive twin-turbocharged V6 engines, and one even more powerful twin-turbocharged V8. All engines come with a standard ZF eight-speed automatic transmission, and a total of five individual drive modes to help tailor your drive to suit your preferences. Once you step inside, you’ll be surrounded by iconic Italian design elements in addition to a selection of premium materials. Ranging from optional Ermenegildo Zegna silk upholstery to a 15-speaker Bowers & Wilkins Surround Sound system — the Maserati Ghibli has an array of amenities to impress even the most discerning drivers. A collection of cutting-edge driver-assistive safety technologies help keep you protected from the unexpected behind the wheel of the Maserati Ghibli.
What the Critics Say
“For years, the lineup from Italian automaker Maserati consisted of exotic and exclusive cars with accordingly high price tags. And then along came the Ghibli, a car that’s sized and priced to compete with the Mercedes E-Class and the Audi A6. The Ghibli’s fastback profile echoes that of the bigger Quattroporte sedan, and its wailing engine and divine handling give it a unique look and feel when compared to its German rivals.” — Edmunds
“The Ghibli, on the other hand, still appears fresh and youthful in this cookie-cutter segment. It has a focus on raw performance that the others cannot mimic, and its Italian personality seeps from every nut and bolt. Fun and entertaining, with a very characteristic charm – it’s an exclusive rarity in the premium midsize sedan segment.” — Forbes
Maserati Ghibli Features
Proven Performance
With a reputation for the ability to travel long distances at impressive yet refined speeds, Maserati vehicles remain true to their grand touring heritage. The Maserati Ghibli is available in your choice of two twin-turbocharged V6 engines, or one powerful V8 built exclusively by Ferrari at their factory in Maranello, Italy which range from 345 to 580 horsepower for an inspired drive. Precision gear changes come from an advanced ZF eight-speed automatic transmission that relies on auto-adaptive software to modify shift patterns to suit your driving style.
Five drive modes accessed by using the buttons near the gear lever allow the Ghibli to adapt to your driving preferences. In Auto Sport mode, gear shifts engage in less than 100 milliseconds and at higher revs. ICE (Increased Control & Efficiency) mode provides greater control in all weather conditions, optimized fuel consumption, and the most comfortable engine response. Optional Q4 intelligent all-wheel drive system and a Maserati Skyhook suspension system provide superlative handling on the Maserati Ghibli.
Dynamic Styling
Elegant yet expressive, the dynamic styling of the Maserati Ghibli offers a distinctly different departure from the world of business-like conformity found in the luxury sedan segment. At the front, the Ghibli sports a signature grille featuring the Maserati Trident. Confidently chiseled curves and flowing lines stretch across the profile to create a sense of excitement even at a standstill. Other distinctive design elements found on the exterior include frameless doors, a sloping C-pillar design featuring the timeless Saetta logo, and muscular rear haunches. The Maserati Ghibli is offered in two distinct trim levels – the luxury-oriented Ghibli GT and the high-performance Ghibli Modena. Additionally, the exclusive Ghibli Trofeo is offered for those who demand the ultimate in performance.
Luxurious Interior
The Ghibli GT trim allows drivers to enjoy an unparalleled level of luxury and convenience. The driver and front passenger can get comfortable using 12-way power-adjustable seating surfaces finished in full premium leather or Ermenegildo silk upholstery. Other premium amenities offered inside the Ghibli include a power-adjustable steering wheel, PIN-protected passenger glove box, power rear sunshade, and power-adjustable foot pedals.
A track-inspired theme for the interior is evident inside Ghibli Modena or Trofeo variants. These trims include a sport steering wheel with paddle shifters, body-contouring sport seats, and Inox sport aluminum foot pedals. An available Carbon Package includes a lightweight, tactile carbon finish on major touchpoints.
Safety & Technology
Key components of the standard Maserati Intelligent Assistant infotainment system focus on innovative engagement, real-world assistance, and adaptable enjoyment. Its 10.1-inch multi-touchscreen display with center console rotary control gives you easy access to important information. Apple CarPlay® / Android Auto™ / Bluetooth® compatibility along with available on-board Wi-Fi lets you stay connected no matter how far your journey takes you. Listen to your favorite songs the way the artist intended it with two unique options — a 10-speaker Harman Kardon Premium Sound system or the 15-speaker Bowers & Wilkins Surround Sound system. An optional wireless smartphone charging pad means that the music never stops.
Designed to keep you safe, a comprehensive suite of advanced driver-assistance systems on the Ghibli inspire confidence. Included in the optional Driver-Assistance Package are Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go, Forward Collision Warning Plus, Active Blind Spot Assist, Lane Keeping Assist (LKA), Highway Assist System (HAS), and Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection technology. A 360 Surround View Camera gives you the ultimate in confidence when maneuvering in or out of a tight parking space.
