Maserati Ghibli 2025: Price, consumption, picture, technical data.

With designer looks and twin-turbo power, the Maserati Ghibli brings a lot of Italian flair to the midsize luxury sedan party. Four-cylinder engines be damned, the Ghibli offers a 345-hp twin-turbo V-6 as standard, while upper trims come with either a 424-hp version of that engine or a 580-hp twin-turbo V-8.

Sports car Maserati Ghibli

To match its powerful engines, the Ghibli’s chassis is designed for fun to drive – it’s a joy to drive down a twisty back road. Unfortunately, it can be too focused on fun, with the Ghibli not scoring well in the luxury and comfort categories, as its rear seat is less accommodating than rivals like the Audi A6 or Mercedes-Benz E-Class.

A variety of leather, wood and metal trim adorns the Ghibli’s cabin to an upscale effect, but several buttons and switches seem lifted straight from the parts bin of Stellantis (Maserati’s parent company). Still, the Maserati’s styling and performance make it endearing, and its relative obscurity means it turns heads like Italian exotics from Ferrari and Lamborghini.

What’s new ?

Maserati has simplified the Ghibli model lineup , creating three different trim levels, starting with the 345-hp GT, then moving on to the 424-hp Modena, and then the monstrous 580-hp Trofeo. The GT showcases a luxury-focused design, while the Modena and Trofeo lean heavily on more aggressive design themes to project their performance. The Ghibli now comes standard with a host of driver-assist features, including adaptive cruise control and automated emergency braking.
If the Ghibli’s starting price seems high, that’s because it is. Most midsize luxury sedans start at around €55,000 (Euros) and go up from there. But even these rival sedans start with turbocharged four-cylinders and then move up to more powerful V-6 engines as the price increases. The Ghibli forgoes the four-cylinders and offers a twin-turbo V-6 as standard. We recommend the Modena model, as it unlocks the engine’s full 424 ponies and covers more of the Ghibli’s interior with real leather upholstery.

Engine, transmission and performance

The base setup for the Ghibli is a 345-hp twin-turbo 3.0-liter V-6 with rear-wheel drive; the Modena model bumps output to 424 hp. The top-of-the-line Trofeo gets a 580-hp twin-turbo 3.8-liter V-8. Rear-wheel drive is standard, but all-wheel drive ( Q4 in Maserati parlance) is available with the V-6. Both engines come with an eight-speed automatic transmission. We tested an S model in 2014 (replaced by the Modena ) and loved the exotic sounds.

At our test track, it managed a zero-to-60 mph time of 4.7 seconds—fast for 2014, but today it can be outpaced by a non-AMG version of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class. Since then, Maserati has increased the output of this version of the V6 engine to 424 ponies. When we tested that engine in the Maserati Levante SUV, it managed a time of 5.1 seconds, so the lighter Ghibli should be significantly faster. The V-8-powered Trofeo model packs a punch and is even more powerful, and we estimate it can achieve a 3.7-second run to 60 mph. The Ghibli’s on-road demeanor is playful, but it maintains a level of refinement that keeps it in the hunt with some of today’s best luxury sport sedans.

Fuel Economy and Real-World MPG

Because the Ghibli lacks a base four-cylinder model, its EPA fuel economy ratings are thirstier than the average midsize luxury car. The rear-wheel-drive V-6 models earn ratings of 17 mpg city and 24 mpg highway; going for all-wheel drive drops the city rating to 16 mpg. The V-8-powered Trofeo is rated at 13 mpg city and 20 mpg highway. We haven’t yet tested the Ghibli on our 200-mile fuel-economy route, but plan to update this review when we get a chance.

Interior, comfort and cargo

While the exterior exudes Italian style, the cabin isn’t as luxurious as expected. Some of its interior pieces are borrowed from smaller vehicles within the Stellantis product portfolio. For example: It uses the same window switches as the Jeep Cherokee and light switches and steering column stalks from the now-defunct Chrysler Town & Country. However, buyers can outfit the Ghibli with beautifully stitched leather and silk seats, a faux suede headliner, and a wood-rimmed steering wheel. The Ghibli’s trunk is larger than the E-Class or A6, but the BMW 5 Series offers a bit more space. When a Ghibli visits our office, we’ll see how many carry-on items it can hold and update this review with the results.

Infotainment and connectivity

All Ghibli models come with a 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system that has a glossy display and runs a revamped version of Google’s Android Automotive interface. Navigation, SiriusXM satellite radio, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard. An eight-speaker audio system is also standard, but audiophiles will be pleased to know that Maserati offers two different premium systems as upgrades. The first is a 10-speaker Harman/Kardon setup, while the second is a 15-speaker Bowers & Wilkins audio system.

Safety and driver assistance functions

The Ghibli is offered with a number of driver assistance features; most are standard equipment. For more information on the Ghibli’s crash test results, visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) websites. Key safety features include:

• Automated emergency braking with pedestrian detection as standard
• Standard lane departure warning with lane keeping assist
• Standard adaptive cruise control with semi-autonomous driving mode

Warranty and maintenance coverage

Most mid-size luxury cars from Europe offer simple four-year/50,000-mile warranties, and the Ghibli follows suit. It would be nice if Maserati offered a free scheduled maintenance package when buying a new Ghibli, but such a policy has been omitted from the car’s standard package. Both the 5 Series and Jaguar XF offer better value in this category.
