Limited dealer network

What's new

Minor revisions to standard feature availability
Part of the first Ghibli generation introduced for 2014

Overview

The 2020 Maserati Ghibli is a midsize luxury sedan that aims to charm with style and a bit of Italian flair. You'd expect as much from Maserati, and indeed the Ghibli is a more distinctive choice compared to the typical luxury sedans from America, Europe and Japan. Like many Italians, it's a car that appeals first and foremost to your heart, and it's easy to see why when the Ferrari-derived 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 sings such a sweet song.

Cost to Drive^{Cost to drive estimates for the 2020 Maserati Ghibli 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 8A) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $3.77 per gallon for premium unleaded in Virginia.}

Changes for 2020 are minor, with more standard and optional equipment for most models. Most notably, the GranSport and GranLusso trims now come standard with a driver assistance package that includes features such as adaptive cruise control and forward collision warning. The base model gets soft-close doors and a heated leather steering wheel, too.

While we like the way the Ghibli looks and feels on the road (especially in Ghibli S trim), there are some drawbacks. The fit and finish on the interior is a step down from what you'll see elsewhere. And the car's general design is getting dated — Maserati hasn't done a full redesign since introducing the Ghibli for the 2014 model year. As such, the Ghibli also lacks some of the latest safety and technology features. But if you're bored with seemingly commonplace sedans such as the BMW 5 Series or Mercedes E-Class, the Ghibli is worth a look.

Which Ghibli does Edmunds recommend?

On paper, the base Ghibli seems compelling, but its performance can't quite match its looks. We recommend stepping up to the more powerful S trim or S Q4 if you need all-wheel drive. We also suggest going for the GranSport package, especially considering the additional equipment included for 2020.

2020 Maserati Ghibli models

The 2020 Maserati Ghibli comes in three main trim levels: base, GranLusso and GranSport. The base model is pretty well equipped. From there, buyers can choose the more luxurious GranLusso or the sport-focused GranSport model.

The base Ghibli is motivated by a turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 engine (345 horsepower, 369 lb-ft of torque) that drives the rear wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission. The same engine powers the S, though it's more powerful in this application (424 hp, 428 lb-ft). The S Q4 adds all-wheel drive to the S model. In terms of features, the S and S Q4 models are essentially the same as their counterparts with the base engine.

Standard features on the base Ghibli include 19-inch wheels, keyless entry and ignition, leather upholstery, an 8.4-inch touchscreen, and an eight-speaker audio system. The GranLusso builds off the base model's features, adding features such as adaptive LED headlights and a 10-speaker Harman Kardon audio system.

The enthusiast-oriented GranSport is equipped similarly but comes standard with an adaptive suspension, sport front seats and a few other minor extras. For 2020, both the GranLusso and the GranSport also include a Driver Assistance package that adds features such as a surround-view parking camera and adaptive cruise control.

Many of the GranLusso's and GranSport's upgrades can be added to the base model. Notable stand-alone options include a variety of wheels, heated rear seats, and a 15-speaker Bowers & Wilkins premium audio system.

2016 Maserati Ghibli S Q4 4dr Sedan AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 8A)

Once you have test driven, you are seduced into buying/leasing the car. It is pure joy driving this car. I sometimes drive the car with the sound system off just to hear the the marvelous exhaust sound.

2016 Maserati Ghibli S 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 8A)

Best used car bang for the buck in this class. Amazing car for the money if purchased used. Very stylish and comfortable. Very nice ride, braking, sound and steering. Try "Sport Mode" and enjoy the sound like no others in this class. No complaints from me. The Servicing at Maserati dealers is expensive. No worries. Just go to your local foreign car mechanic and save big.

2019 Maserati Ghibli S GranLusso 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 8A)

There is no other car that combines gorgeous Italian lines, abundant power with a beautiful exhaust note, and sophisticated accommodations that pamper the driver and passengers. It has all of the modern options we have grown to love such as blind spot detection, front and rear sensors, back up camera, 3D surround cameras, power sunshade, soft close doors, and power everything. It is …

2020 Maserati Ghibli S Q4 GranSport 4dr Sedan AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 8A)

Don’t read all the bad reviews. This is a driving man’s car , not a ratings type script. Most complemented vehicle I ever owned. Get all the options with 21 inch wheels. And enjoy driving again.

We have a limited number of reviews for the 2020 Maserati Ghibli, so we've included reviews for other years of the Ghibli since its last redesign.

Safety

Our experts like the Ghibli models:

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, possibly escalating 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.
