basic warrantyCompeting in the compact sedan segment, the 2018 Maserati Ghibli Sedan is a direct competitor to the Mercedes-Benz CLS 550, the Audi A7, and the BMW 5 Series 540i. With three trims, the 2018 Maserati Ghibli carries an MSRP of $73,050. It offers a 3.0L turbocharged V6 engine and an 8-speed automatic transmission, producing 350 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque. Through this powertrain, the Maserati Ghibli manages a 0-60 of 5.5 seconds and a combined fuel economy of 19 MPG.
The V6 engine powering the Ghibli isn’t that impressive when put forth against its rivals. The luxury and convenience aspects of Maserati, however, are its strongest points. Therefore, we recommend the GranSport trim, which offers a number of performance enhancements, including 20-inch wheels with summer performance tires, red-painted brake calipers, adaptive dampers, and gear shift paddles mounted on the column, a sport steering wheel, sport seats, and a few others.
