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

What’s New for 2019

Updates to the Maserati Ghibli are relatively minor for the 2019 model year. Changes include a redesigned gearshift lever, new alloy wheel designs, and new exterior color options. Inside the cabin, a full-grain Pieno Fiore natural leather option is now offered along with new veneers.

Maserati Ghibli Features

Proven Performance

Maserati vehicles have earned a renowned reputation for their ability to cover long distances
at dynamic yet refined speed in keeping with the marque’s iconic grand touring heritage. The Ghibli offers your choice of two twin-turbocharged V6 engines built exclusively by Ferrari at their factory in Maranello, Italy which range from 345 to 424 horsepower for an exhilarating drive. Crisp, precise gear changes come from an advanced ZF eight-speed automatic transmission which uses auto-adaptive software to modify shift patterns to match your driving style. Five drive modes selected using the buttons near the gear lever allows the Ghibli to adapt to your driving preferences. In Auto Sport mode, gearshifts take place in less than 100 milliseconds and at higher revs. ICE (Increased Control & Efficiency) mode provides improved 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 uncompromised handling on the Maserati Ghibli.

Seductive Styling

The confident yet expressive styling of the Maserati Ghibli offers something different in a world of gray, business-like conformity among luxury sedans. Up front, the signature grille
wearing the Maserati Trident represents both dynamic intent and poised composure. Dynamically sculpted curves and gracefully flowing lines stretch along the sides to create a sense of excitement even while standing still. Other signature design elements found on the exterior include muscular rear haunches, frameless doors, and a sloping C-pillar design which features the timeless Saetta logo. Optional Bianco Alpi and Blu Nobile tri-coat paint finishes offered on the Maserati Ghili let you stand out in a sea of ordinary.

Luxurious Cabin

Step inside the Ghibli GranLusso and you’ll discover an unmatched level of opulence and convenience. Front occupants can relax in 12-way power adjustable seating surfaces finished in full premium leather or Ermenegildo silk upholstery. Other luxurious features available inside the Ghibli includes a power-adjustable steering wheel, power rear sunblind, power foot pedals, and an electronically-lockable, PIN-protected passenger glove box.

Ghibli GranSport models feature a race-inspired theme for the interior. These models feature body-hugging sport seats, a sport steering wheel with paddle shifters, and Inox sport aluminum foot pedals. An optional Carbon Package adds a lightweight, tactile carbon finish to key touch points.

Safety & Technology

Key components of the standard Maserati Touch Control Plus infotainment system focus on intuitive engagement, real-world assistance, and adaptable enjoyment. Its 8.4-inch multi-touchscreen display with center console rotary control provides simplified access to critical information. Apple CarPlay® / Android Auto™ / Bluetooth® compatibility along with available on-board Wi-Fi lets you stay in touch no matter how far your travels take you. Hear your favorite audio the way the artist intended it with two unique options – 10-speaker Harman Kardon Premium Sound system or 15-speaker Bowers & Wilkins Surround Sound system.

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), and Highway Assist System (HAS).
