Maserati Ghibli

The Maserati Ghibli is a premium midsize sports sedan with seating for five. It’s the smaller of two sedans available from the Italian automaker, measuring about a foot shorter than its full-size sibling, the Quattroporte. The Ghibli shares a platform and some components with Maserati’s luxury SUV, the Levante.

Maserati builds the Ghibli in a variety of trims and performance levels. In addition to the base model, there are two notable mid-tier options: the luxury-oriented GranLusso and the racier GranSport, which were offered from 2018 through 2021. These employ a 345-horsepower Ferrari-derived turbocharged V6 engine, which can be upgraded to over 400 ponies by opting for the “S'' version. At the top end of the range sits the high-output Ghibli Trofeo, which first appeared in 2021 and boasts a 580-horsepower turbocharged V8, among other upgrades. For 2022, Maserati consolidated all but the Trofeo into two trims: the GT and the Modena, the latter offering the more powerful V6 engine as well as available all-wheel drive, which is designated with “Q4” badging. All versions utilize an eight-speed automatic transmission, and no hybrid or electric variants have been offered.

Even the base Ghibli comes handsomely equipped, including leather upholstery, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a rearview camera as standard equipment. Desirable tech features such as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration first appeared for the 2017 model year, as did adaptive cruise control, which was initially an option but in 2022 became standard.
