“Exhilarating & fun to drive. Definitely a head-turner (depending on where you live). A drivers' car.”
2022 Maserati Ghibli: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for the 2022 Maserati Ghibli is a reorganized lineup built around GT, Modena and Trofeo trims, with Modena Q4 serving as the AWD version. Maserati also revised the exterior logos and added trim-specific badges.
About the 2022 Maserati Ghibli
Third-generation Ghibli sedan (2014-2024), in the second year after the 2021 update that brought the larger 10.1-inch infotainment system and Trofeo performance model. 2022 is the first year of the GT/Modena/Trofeo trim reset.
Maserati positions the Ghibli as an Italian luxury sport sedan for shoppers who want something less conventional than the usual German midsize sedan. The brand leans on its mix of sleek styling, grand-touring comfort, strong engine choices, and a sharper, more emotional driving feel than the segment norm. In Maserati’s own language, it is built for everyday urban life but still meant to feel special and engaging on a fast open road.
The GT is the comfort-focused grand-touring model, with a 345-hp V6, leather upholstery, heated front seats and a 10.1-inch touchscreen. Modena has a sportier focus and a 424-hp V6, while Modena Q4 adds all-wheel drive. Trofeo remains the performance model, pairing a 580-hp V8 with Corsa drive mode, carbon-fiber exterior details and heated and ventilated sport seats.
What changed, by category

Styling
Every trim received Maserati’s newer hood logo, a revised Trident on the C-pillar, updated trunk lettering and a trim-specific badge above each side vent.
