2014 Maserati Ghibli Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
When you hear the Maserati name, you think old-world luxury, old-world values, old-world durability. Alas, modern economic viability intrudes, thus the company's introduction, or more accurately, its re-introduction of the 2014 Ghibli 5-seat touring-oriented midsize sedan. Designed to compete, pricewise, with the likes of BMW, Jaguar and Mercedes-Benz, this overwrought family auto targets the merely well-heeled, as opposed to the super-wealthy.
Toting the usual array of posh features, European agility and a Ferrari powerplant, the new Ghibli comes in 2 trims, the self-descriptive Base and the performance-tuned S Q4. Both versions pack a useful 18 cubic feet of trunk space, lots of leather, performance tires and that Maserati panache, while the top-shelf S Q4 additionally boasts standard on-demand all-wheel drive (AWD).
Both editions of the re-issued Ghibli are delivered with a standard twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 engine which mates with a well-conceived 8-speed shiftable automatic transmission. But there the similarity ends. The rear-wheel-drive only (RWD) Base trim’s drivetrain is rated to put out 345 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque, while the S Q4’s powertrain is further tweaked to pound down 404 hp and 406 lb-ft of torque. Estimates have the Ghibli Base reaching 60 mph in about 5.4 seconds from a stop, while the S Q4 is slated to make the same journey in 4.5 seconds. With top speeds of 163 mph (Base) and 177 mph (S Q4), there are no excuses for being late to work with this baby. Mileage, by the way, is a ho-hum 15 mpg city/25 highway for both trims, though those mirrored figures seem a bit optimistic for the up-powered AWD S Q4. In any case, said S Q4’s AWD system allows cruising in RWD while standing by to instantly transfer torque to all 4 wheels when roads become slippery.
Features-wise, look for the Base to tote 18-inch alloy wheels and performance tires outside, while premium leather upholstery and cabin accents, power-adjustable front seats and full power accessories grace the inside. Of course, cruise control is expected to be standard, as is telescoping tilt-wheel steering, while all of this should come bolstered by a remote garage door opener and a rear-view camera. Bluetooth hands-free calling, meantime, is slated to complement a 280-watt stereo flaunting a single-CD player, 8 speakers, satellite radio, an 8.4-inch video monitor and a memory-card slot.
To this, the up-featured S Q4 is expected to add a power sunroof, heated front seats, memory for driver's settings, an auto-dimming rear-view mirror and a hard-drive-based navigation system.
The Base, meanwhile, can be fitted with a number of features found standard in its S Q4 sibling as options, while both trims can be delivered with available personal touches to the interior and exterior accents. Additionally, the S Q4 is expected to be eligible for an available mobile WiFi and/or an upgraded Bowers and Wilkinson audio system.
Notable standard safety equipment adorning both 2014 Ghibli trims, finally, includes 4-wheel antilock brakes (ABS), traction and stability control, front and rear head airbags, front side-mounted airbags and active front headrests. LED daytime running lights also come standard on both trims, as do high-intensity-discharge (HID) headlights, a post-collision safety system and a remote antitheft alarm. The S Q4, meantime, is in line for standard high-power headlight washers.

First day with this vehicle and it is beyond exhilarating! My son was so happy once me and his mother came home with it. It sounds great and it even handles amazingly. Here’s to hoping that moving forward the car continues to handle sufficiently so long as I take good care of it! Cheers!!Dec 21, 2021

I am in love with Maserati. Do your research and certainly make sure you do the normal stuff, it is expensive to fix and is a bit expensive to maintain, but being built by Chrysler with the heart of a Ferrari, it’s a great car for the price. I will say the Uconnect stereo sucks though. Not many options to upgrade it either. Oct 23, 2021

It replaced my Jaguar Xj. The luxury is about the same. The handling is better with the maserati and the AWD is a great driver aid in the wet. Its something a little different if youre bored with the usual BMW 5 series or Merc E class. Oct 22, 2020

Maserati did a great job making a sports luxury sedan. People have given it so much hate but until you drive it you never really know the pleasure it gives you. The Chrysler/Fiat parts aren’t much to complain about....they work great and are practical placed in the right places in this car. The car still feels luxurious from the seats to everything else. Ride is solid and soft. It’s not a tech magnet but it’s not meant to be. For a car trying to beak into the commercial luxury sector I thought this was an amazing ride. It may not be a $100,000 plus car. But for the same price of an E class or 5 series this car I think is better as far as driving pleasure. Oct 06, 2020

For the price point this Ghibli is a great family sedan. It has sufficient power, but nothing crazy. It sounds good. Bells and whistles are nice. Good for carrying kids and adults and looks good of course. Wish the shifter wasn't so hard to work.Mar 13, 2015

We were not sure at the beginning and felt we needed a second extended drive to check it thoroughly. It passed all tests in city traffic, on windy and hilly roads and open freeway. The braking is tremendous and you can actually adjust the pedals from the drivers seat. There is a persistent growl of the engine when driving above 60 mph and it just is what it is. We drove the Q4 and it hugs the road like glue, has instant power and tremendous comfort. We had the sport package and most of the luxury options. Our other cars are a Ferrari California and an Acura MDX, so this was the sedan we were looking for to fill the gap. At the end of the drive we decided to purchase the Q4 with sport, premium (not the top end) stereo and most of the upper end packages. We tend to keep cars for a long time, so it has to fit into the larger picture. The maintenance schedule and costs are very reasonable and it runs on 10% ethanol, which the Ferrari does not. Over all, we think this is a cost effective option in contrast to the higher end Maserati's and delivers much more value. Will have to see how the depreciation works out, but my wife wants this as her primary vehicle.Feb 27, 2014
