Maserati Ghibli 2013–2017 car dimensions: 4971 mm long, 1945 mm wide and 1461 mm high. Unladen weight is 1,810 kg. Boot space with the seats up is 500 litres.
The cabin centres on an 8.4-inch touchscreen with dual-zone automatic climate control as standard. Basic cruise control is fitted across the range. Front and rear parking sensors appear on most cars. A reversing camera, blind-spot alert, lane departure warning and automatic emergency braking arrive only on higher grades or via option packages. Leather seats and a 7-inch driver display complete the layout.
Boot space measures 500 litres with the rear seats in place. The 60/40 split-folding rear bench opens up extra room for longer items when needed.
The cabin wraps occupants in soft leather seats with fine stitching and embossed Trident logos on the headrests. Dual-zone automatic climate control with multiple vents and an air quality sensor keeps the air fresh and temperatures even. Front seats offer multi-way power adjustment with lumbar support and memory on higher grades, while the rear bench folds 60/40 and includes a center armrest with storage. Acoustic laminated glass on the front reduces noise, and optional heated or ventilated seats plus a power sunroof add further ease on longer drives. The overall feel is one of refined Italian craftsmanship with practical space for a sports sedan.
Euro NCAP 5-star rating (2013 test)
Seven airbags standard including driver knee bag
Electronic stability control and seatbelt reminders standard
Service interval 20,000 km or 2 years for petrol engines
Fuel tank 80 litres on petrol models
Petrol V6 models return combined figures around the mid-single to low-double digit litres per 100 km range depending on power output and drive type, with the diesel version notably more frugal on the combined cycle. An 80-litre tank on most petrol variants supports decent range for touring.
Scheduled servicing for petrol engines falls due every 20,000 km or two years, whichever comes first, covering oil and filter changes along with inspections. Diesel intervals are shorter on the time side. Regular checks of fluids, brakes and belts keep the twin-turbo engines and ZF eight-speed gearbox reliable.
The car earned a full five-star Euro NCAP score in 2013 with strong adult occupant protection. Standard kit includes seven airbags, stability control and tyre pressure monitoring. Optional packs add adaptive cruise, blind-spot monitoring and other aids.
Daily living is straightforward thanks to the 500-litre boot, keyless entry and dual-zone climate. Keep up with the service schedule and use quality fluids to maintain the sophisticated chassis and aluminium-intensive body over time.
