Overview

The 2019 Maserati Ghibli makes for an excellent contender in the midsize sedan class. With 3 trims on offer, the Maserati Ghibli has a base MSRP of $74,980, with prices going all the way up to MSRP $80,980, competing directly with the Audi A6 Prestige 55, the BMW M550i, and the Mercedes-Benz AMG E 53 Sedan. Only a 3.0L twin-turbocharged V6 engine is offered, mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. Together, they produce 345 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque. Accelerating from 0-60 in 4.8 seconds, the Ghibli maintains a combined fuel economy of 19 MPG. Maserati offers the Ghibli in 10 stunning colors, with the Rosso Folgore Mica being a particular favorite of ours.

Buying Advice

The Maserati seems to have made sure to include most of the bells and whistles right from the base trim in the Ghibli. With that being said, heated and power-adjustable front seats, Emergency Braking Assist, leather upholstery, etc come standard in the base trim which makes it sit at just the right spot. Going with the base trim and adding optional packages of your choice would make the most sense.
