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.

Avg. Midsize Car
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.
Which Ghibli does Edmunds recommend?
Choosing the Ghibli Modena will grant you access to the more powerful version of the model's turbocharged V6 along with the option of all-wheel drive. You also get a few more standard features and an assortment of luxurious stand-alone options to choose from.

Maserati has revised its trim strategy for the Ghibli in 2022. The new lineup includes the GT, Modena and Trofeo.
The GT gets a turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 good for 345 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque, while the Modena gets a version of that engine tuned to 424 hp and 428 lb-ft. The top-range Trofeo gets an exclusive turbocharged 3.8-liter V8 that generates 580 hp and 538 lb-ft of torque.
All Ghiblis have an eight-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive. All-wheel drive, known as Q4, is available on the Modena.

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.

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.

The absolute opposite of ordinary

2018 Maserati Ghibli S Q4 4dr Sedan AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 8A)
When I was shopping around, I looked at Porsche Panamera, Tesla Model S the Ghibli S Q4. I finally went for the Ghibli S Q4 MY2018 with all the most recent updates. I come from Porsche, BMW and Audi ownership experience. I can say that the Ghibli has been the best experience so far. The uniqueness, the style, the emotion and the driving pleasure is incomparable. The platform and the … engineering has been improved over time and it is very solid and reliable as of right now. The interior has been improved since it was introduced. Same for the driving assistance features. Exterior style has been improved as well with some slight, but very effective, changes. The ride is refined and the pickup and progression is impressive. Acceleration is great, because we are talking about the V6 Twinturbo 424HP... I am not a fan of the base engine, it doesn't seems to be the right choise to keep with the prestige and performance heritage of Maserati. So the SQ4 is the only way to go for me. The car does receive a lot of attention and it differentiate from the mass and Germans.
We have a limited number of reviews for the 2022 Maserati Ghibli, so we've included reviews for other years of the Ghibli since its last redesign.
