2020 Maserati Ghibli: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2020 Maserati Ghibli is a light equipment update, not a redesign. The main change is more standard driver-assistance and comfort equipment on GranLusso and GranSport versions.
About the 2020 Maserati Ghibli
1st generation Ghibli (2014-2020), late-cycle year after the 2018 refresh
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 brand’s messaging leans on Italian design, a strong sense of occasion, a characterful twin-turbo V6, and a cabin that mixes performance attitude with handcrafted materials. Its core appeal is style, sound, and personality more than pure practicality.
The 2020 lineup ranges from the 345-hp rear-wheel-drive Ghibli to 424-hp S models, with S Q4 versions adding all-wheel drive. GranLusso models emphasize silk-and-leather trim and comfort, while GranSport models bring sport seats, adaptive suspension, and a more aggressive look.
