2014 Maserati Ghibli: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The big news for 2014 is the launch of the all-new Maserati Ghibli, a midsize sport sedan positioned below the Quattroporte. It starts the modern Ghibli range with base rear-wheel-drive and higher-output S Q4 all-wheel-drive versions.
About the 2014 Maserati Ghibli
3rd generation (M157), first year / all-new launch
Maserati positions the Ghibli as a luxury sport sedan for buyers who want something more emotional and distinctive than the usual German midsize sedan. The pitch is Italian style, a dramatic exhaust note, sharp road manners, and everyday four-door usefulness in a smaller package than the Quattroporte. Its core appeal is not maximum feature count; it is character, design, and a more special-feeling drive for someone who wants performance with real presence.
The base Ghibli emphasizes everyday four-door usability and rear-wheel-drive balance, backed by a 345-hp twin-turbo V6, leather upholstery, an 8.4-inch touchscreen, and a rearview camera. The S Q4 is the performance-focused version, pairing a 404-hp V6 with all-wheel drive, navigation, heated front seats, and premium leather.

“I love the Maserati brand. It has been a great car so far and would definitely buy another.”
“It is a great driving experience as far as the motor and handling. The appearance is chic, an eye-catcher. The electronics and interior quality should be much better quality than is in vehicle compared to brand and performance.”
