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.
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.
