About the 2019 Maserati Ghibli
1st generation Ghibli (2014-2024), second year after the 2018 refresh.
Maserati positions the Ghibli as a midsize luxury sport sedan for buyers who want something more emotional and less conventional than the usual German choices. The core appeal is Italian styling, a distinctive exhaust note, strong twin-turbo V6 performance, and a cabin that mixes upscale materials with a driver-focused layout. It is meant to feel at home in daily city driving but still deliver the sense of occasion and long-distance character Maserati ties to grand touring.
The 2019 Ghibli range runs from the straightforward twin-turbo V6 base car to more specialized luxury and sport versions. GranLusso models emphasize silk-and-leather upholstery, ventilated front seats, and soft-close doors, while GranSport models add adaptive suspension, sport seats, and paddle shifters. S Q4 versions pair the stronger performance theme with all-wheel drive.
