“Throttle tip - response is a little sluggish for this class of vehicle. Standard all-season tires are simply not sufficient - high performance summer tires should be standard if not a no-cost option for fair-weather states. Interior quality is the worst of all vehicles I have purchased new. All 4 doors had rattles/buzzing from speakers or door panels.”
2015 Maserati Ghibli: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for the 2015 Maserati Ghibli is more standard equipment: navigation, Bluetooth, and 19-inch wheels. It is otherwise a light update, with no redesign or major mechanical overhaul.
About the 2015 Maserati Ghibli
M157 generation (2014-2024), second U.S. model year, pre-facelift.
Maserati positioned the Ghibli as a midsize luxury sport sedan for buyers who wanted something more emotional and less common than the usual German choices. Official launch material framed it as smaller, lighter, and more dynamic than the Quattroporte, with coupe-like styling, strong twin-turbo V6 performance, and hand-finished cabin craftsmanship. The model’s core appeal was not gadget count; it was Italian character, standout styling, and a more special-feeling driving experience in an everyday sedan shape.
The base Ghibli is the straightforward rear-wheel-drive model, pairing a 345-hp twin-turbo V6 with leather upholstery and an 8.4-inch touchscreen. The S Q4 is the more performance-focused version, with a 404-hp twin-turbo V6, all-wheel drive, heated front seats, and a power sunroof.

2015 Maserati Ghibli
(28 reviews)
“Besides the look and being something that not everyone has, the power and drivability is amazing.”
“The car is a pleasure to drive but it is not for everyone. A little too noisy even though I was ok with it. I made the concession for the performance.”
