Overview
If we asked you to picture in your mind a midsize luxury sedan, odds are it looks something like the Mercedes-Benz E-Class or BMW 5 Series. But if you're not one to follow the crowd, you might be thinking of the Maserati Ghibli, the uniquely Italian alternative to the usual four-door suspects from Germany.

The 2022 Maserati Ghibli tackles the midsize luxury sedan equation in its own way, with a focus on performance that's conveyed through its aggressively styled front end. Though the Ghibli can be had with exceptionally supple leather upholstery and plush materials, in general its interior fit and finish isn't on the same level as the Germans, with some bland-looking controls and lackluster design elements making it feel less special than its competitors. But if you can get past that, the Ghibli is a comfortable and fun-to-drive luxury sedan, especially in Trofeo guise, which competes with the likes of the BMW M5 and Mercedes-AMG E 63. If you're looking for something different, read our in-depth Expert Rating to see if the Maserati Ghibli is for you.

Compare the Maserati Ghibli
Maserati Ghibli vs. Mercedes-Benz E-Class
When cross shopping the Ghibli and E-Class, the first thing you'll immediately notice is the latter's exquisitely designed interior. An all-digital instrument cluster that flows into the central infotainment screen is the centerpiece of the dash, and the rest of the car's tech will feel noticeably more modern than the Ghibli's. The Maserati will be a bit more exciting to drive, however, thanks to its sharper handling and standard turbocharged V6 (versus a turbocharged four-cylinder in the base E-Class).
Maserati Ghibli vs. Audi A6
Once again the Ghibli is outclassed in cabin design and quality, with the A6 offering a tech-rich cockpit complete with dual screens in the center stack and a configurable digital instrument cluster. In typical Audi fashion, the A6 also has all-wheel drive on every model. One advantage the Ghibli has is its larger trunk, boasting 17.7 cubic feet of space to the A6's 13.7 cubes.
Maserati Ghibli vs. BMW M5
Though on paper the BMW M5 and Maserati Ghibli Trofeo are both ultra-high-performance sedans with six-figure price tags, they have substantially different missions. The M5 is a numbers car, designed to deliver ridiculous acceleration and extreme cornering ability. The Ghibli Trofeo, on the other hand, is positioned as more of a high-speed grand tourer, offering still impressive acceleration and handling without sacrificing too much comfort. It also has the higher advertised top speed at 203 mph.
Safety
Our experts’ favorite Ghibli safety features:
- Automated Emergency Braking
- Automatically applies braking if the driver is inattentive or unresponsive to warnings of an impending front collision.
- Forward Collision Warning
- Monitors the vehicle in front and warns the driver if the distance closes rapidly in what could escalate into a rear-end crash.
- Adaptive Cruise Control
- Maintains a preset distance to the vehicle ahead. The stop-and-go function can slow the car to a complete stop and then resume driving.
