- The Italians build some beautiful cars don't they? Problem is they are not that affordable! Companies like Ferrari and Maserati make some stunning cars that deliver world class performance. For 2014 Maserati has inched closer to what your wallet can afford with the Ghibli which is an excellent value proposition. The 2014 Maserati Ghibli starts at $65,600.

As with any Maserati you are expecting something that is very visually appealing to the eye. The Ghibli certainly checks that box with the aggressive front end, tucked reverse grille, and sharp headlights. The aluminum multi-spoke wheels are gorgeous. The Ghibli is essentially a shorter version of the Quattroporte sedan. Out back is the familiar rear end with a dual exhaust system.
Under the hood there are 2 engine options. The Ghibli S 3.0 liter twin-turbo V6 makes 410 horsepower and is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. 0-60 MPH goes by in 4.8 seconds and the sound is incredible. The engine was designed by Maserati but built by Ferrari.

Read some reviews both good and bad on this car and decided to look at it for myself. Quite simply, it is the best car I've ever driven. Engine roars. Handles great. Yet is comfortable as well. It is a luxury Ferrari. Only negative is that it came standard with summer tires on an AWD car which is ridiculous. Make sure you get the 19" wheels with all season tires. I've owned a 911, Cayman, Mercedes E Class, Audi S5, Cayenne, Mercedes G Wagon, and absolutely none of them compare to this car in looks or performance. I traded in a 2007 Quattroporte for the Ghibli and although I loved the styling of the old QP, it doesn't even compare driving wise. Not to mention with AWD, you can go out in less than ideal conditions of you want it to be your every day driver. Yes, it's s bit pricey, but when you compare what you get, it's worth it. The G Wagon was a 125K car new (I bought it used) and for the life of me, I don't understand why. The E Class corners like double decker bus compared to the Ghibli and while the 911 drives amazing, it isn't the most practical car on the market.
+Matt Micros Matt Micros, I can only agree with everything you say. I have since Feb this year owned my Ghibli. I have to date had every German marque and many variants over the years, BMW, Merc, Audi, (still have 911) they are all very good cars. The Ghibli..... perfect ? - no ! but the style, the drive, the quality, the feel, totally, totally amazing. The German motors I've had pale into insignificance when I drive, see, experience my Ghibli, simply the best car I've ever owned. The doubters and critics out there, please try it..... it is a wonderful car...
The Answer thank you sir. Great review. Plus you have owned some nice vehicles so your opinion to me is very valuable. Thanks
I'm considering getting one myself. How has reliability been for you guys?

I totally agree. The negative reviews were concerning but I sold my BMW for an SQ4. Best car I've ever owned. It's soooo much fun to drive. I love the sound and the way it makes me feel!
One of the very few positive review on this ghibli!!!
Love the Ghibli. Maserati is the way to go.
This is THE BEST review ever for Maserati Ghibli. Concise, clear, bravo!
Such a good review. Very informative, no BS. Deserves more attention / views.
Maserati Ghibli it's Dodge Charger. Have a great day.
Excellent review. I've had my 2012 GranTurismo for two years and am ecstatic every time I'm in it!
great review!!! justifies and reinforces my faith in subscribing to this channel!
Beautiful machine inside and out and sounds amazing!
Nice review. Clear and concise which is rare on CZcams. Beautiful car. Much cooler than your run of the mill bmw, Audi or mb.
Is it me or is this guy really fantastic at reviewing a car?
Very rarely do I come across such a good reviewer. I'm going to subscribe because I find his delivery astounding.
I agree! Great review... they got my subscription to their channel too!
My Maserati does 185. I lost my license now I don't drive.
Give me the car? ^_^
+Mark G Betting most people out there are not getting that! Classic car, classic rocker, Joe Walsh...
That's the best line in music ever. My Maserati does 185 I lost my license now I don't drive. Or Sammy Hager I can't drive 55. Take my license and all that jive...I can't drive wait for it...55!!!!
Great review... Love the car! Very satisfied with the car and more!
Gorgeous car! Forza Italia! Great review as well. ..
Finally - now I know that it's a hard "G". Thanks Jeff...6 years after this video.
Great review!
I have been driving a Beemer (different models - 3/5/6) for many years; nowadays you can find multiple of them in every street. Therefore I was on the look for something different, something which brings back the emotion & fun! Then I bumped into this very likable car and became interested a test drive. Before doing so, checked out the internet (where loads is available, just skip the nonsens of those comparing this with a Kia and such), and heard and seen so much that the test drive actually became only was about the true feel of the car.
Now I clearly can say "SOLD"! Have ordered it and can't wait until it gets delivered. Definitely need to go SQ4, as that gives so much more. Certainly when you expect to have to drive in snowy conditions. So for me one of the better cars out there, apart from the real and less affordable TOP.
Just don't understand these people who need to come up with all kind of crap to express their disliking! When you don't like the design, the interior or even that Maserati is using something developed by somebody else and works well, fine but it can be said differently. Just annoying for any proper car enthusiast!
Majority of the people who dislike it are the one who can not afford to buy it. Soar grapes !!!
Got my SQ4 in July and done about 10'000 km since. Truly enjoyed every second! A different feel and style than driving a Beemer (or like), more active, more one with the car with loads of fun. Not that I like all about the car (my major negative item is that the shift does not work as precise as what I was used to) but doesn't every car make have something you are not 100% happy about? I have no regrets whatsoever, actually on the contrary! Only can recommend it!
William Bastiaan Do you really recommend it? I'm sold too and I need an honest feedback on the Q4... Please advise
Maed Krunz Yes Maed, I really recommend it. It was the best I could have done as I now have fun driving again. But it very much depends on your expectation, what do you need it to do? The car will transport 4 adults and a child but I would not have chosen it when I need to move people around (like a family man often needs to do); it would not be the choice when I regularly need to transport stuff as the car is not made for it (don't get me wrong, the boot is remarkably big, actually deep; you can put in a lot of stuff but it is not meant to be a transporter of goods). My choice was the SQ4 and that absolutely has to be my recommendation, with peddles and all. For me it offers a top driving experience, the engine UNBEATABLE (for what one spends). I (like most people) do not use the car to test its limits, so I can't tell you at which speed you still can take a turn before you need a certain skill to correct it. Stopping the car (breaking) was a different experience as it does very fast! Something I needed to get used to in the beginning. The sound ... well do I need to say more? The feel of the car is pure luxury and I just laugh about people making comments like comparing the design of the car with some Asian brand. They simply have no idea about style and class! One remark often made was the cheap feel of the electronic/digital centre in the middle of the dashboard, that it simply was taken over from Chrysler. Well that is correct, one used an existing supplier but it does what it needs to do well. That one might have better modified the looks, yes, but it being supplied by Chrysler does not make it bad. What amazed me was that still not many people know that Maserati adjusted their car range and went to the mid section (despite the investments in commercials and like)! One still reacts like it is a car from the real luxury segment, younger people still make photo's of the car and yes, the car has the flavour of the upper segment. A Beemer does not turn heads anymore, the Ghibli does! Don't get me wrong, it is not that the car has no flaws! Still don't like the shift after 20'000KM. It simply does not give me the feel of in which mode I am, I always need to look to be absolutely sure. It regularly happens that I am not in the mode I expected (which is my biggest annoyance). Also, when you expect the car to use all possible electronic advanced systems (like Beemers, Mercs etc. nowadays have - the automatic distance control, the car warning you when you cross certain lines), the Ghibli does not offer that. Actually I do not need that as I am an active driver, I like to feel what I am doing, be in control myself. Every time I step into the car, I enjoy it and remain enthusiastic. My dollars well spend!
Maed Krunz One tip Maed, be careful about the color you pick! Let me describe why. I wanted to step away from the greyish tones I often had in the past, pick a modern color (which consequently will not be that modern anymore in time). Not too flashy ... so I picked white. Two options, a luxury one (forgot the name of it) with a terrific shine to it, or the standard one (which is not a cheap white!). My partner recommended the luxury look but my feel told me to go for the standard one as a sporty car looks better with a 'harder' color. Happy that I did!!! I have heard that, the person who took the luxury/special white, needed to get the whole side of his car repainted when he wanted to remove a scratch! [these damned shoppers don't care about other people's property!!!] That has been confirmed by my dealer. Certain paints require larger works/repairs as one otherwise might see that there is a difference in color.
great video, really appreciate the review.
Great review, thank you!
Nice to see you like the Maserati... it's indeed a wonderful and amazing car... I enjoy the car each and every day...!
Awesome review
I would compare the Ghibli with the CLS / 6 grand coupe / A7 rather than E / 5 / A6...
It doesnt matter what you guys say. The badge and the exhaust note alone is a reason to buy this car
Nice great review
Amazing sound from a V6 turbo!
Looks way better to me than all the other offerings in this price range. I actually turn my head to look at it when I see one here in the Bay Area. They stand out way more than BMW's, Mercedes, Lexus, etc.
Super review..
This Is A Great Review Of The 2014 Maserati Ghibli Car Video Review and Road Test By Autobytel #2014MaseratiGhibli #MaseratiGhibli #Maserati #Ghibli
cool review
This presenter is very good! He needs to be in more videos!
This sounds a hell of a lot like a sales pitch, instead of a review.
perfect car man....wow
The other day I saw a Quattroporte on Ebay for 28K. It was pretty awesome, and I'd much rather have that...
We are talking about Italian Cars … for an Italian Super Car there are ONLY Two Rules … Building Every single Engine as a Perfect Heart and Give to every single Car an Own Soul, and this Ghibli maintains all these promises
beauty
Looks like the real deal to me. If I won the lottery, unfortunately, don't play the lottery. If my Chrysler dealer gets one in, I might try it out. I like the styling, a lot. Anyone need a kidney?
What a car!
get that stabilizing thingy for the camera so it doesnt shake so much while driving
So this car compete with the Kia k900 witch is not all that bad but I would pick this one over that any day of the week because when some one says... Oh hey I heard you got a new car you can say yeah I got a Maserati and that's basically sums it up where as the kia you would have to tell them a paragraph about why it's awesome because when people hear the word Kia they think of a low budget granny car
Jacob Rolls true..there are actually really good cars that have brand names known to be low budget, but they can even outperform the more exclusive cars like Maserati
Lili Ilieva Not comparable animals: there is a good market for S class, XF, Panamera 4S, Bentley and Ghibli`s at sustainable margin because compared to these upper class saloons, the Kia k900, Camry Tesla S and other basic transportation steel products performance, comfort and NHV are just marginal and also boring to drive. Average products must be discounted at low margin to sell. Market has the final word: just review automotive industry financials reports and spend many hours in cars... it's cristal clear. Philgood
This guy is good.
Bella
I love maserati ghibli
I wish the taillights would be a vertical design, I think that's a better design to fit with the headlights.
Thx so much for great review- work and sharing!! But in my country- the cheapest model has a 3l-V6 diesel engine/275bhp and priced aprx- 170.000.- usd....(!!) So every time I see reviews fm us- I`m thinking....what the heck am I doin here....cold and even that costs a lot. Just have to win the Lottery and move to the Home of the Brave...!!...and free c;`) thx again and brgds
Only thing that need changes are the touch control screen and the backlights being a little more fierce looking. Touch control looks plain and cheap!
WOW machine.
Nice
Is it my imagination or an optical illusion, but the tail lights at 4:41 seem to differ in size.
2:54 so that Torque Distribution thing is real? I thought it was just some Fast and Furious shit from the seventh movie
It only has two rear seats?
he talks so good
WHAT???!! SORRY I CAN'T LISTEN TO ANY OF THE NEGATIVE COMMENTS, THE SOUND OF THE ENGINE OF MY GHIBLI IS TOO LOUD!!
Bro I want a ghibli... please tell me if it's that maserati are trash bad cars that they got problems all the time ??😭😭
More comfortable than the german competitors?! Have you driven the new E-Class?
leonardimas1 Well, the guy in the video did...
All Maserati has to do is not worry about the Germans and do what Italians do best. When my lease is up on my Acura Im getting this.
I went to see this car in person. I really, really WANTED to like this car! But I'm sorry, in the flesh it has absolutely no presence. It looks like little more than a nicely done Buick! I was very disappointed but then I saw the video for the upcoming Alfa Romeo Giuliani!!! If you're liking for a true Italian sedan, that's the one to hold out for!!
Stop looking at a cheap base ghibli.. ur not getting a ferrari engine and good interior for 70K... its gonna actually cost u if u want the trims and features
This thing looks like a luxury Kia from the back
Don't forget, though, that the pentastar was developed during the Chrysler collaboration with Mercedes-Benz so the block borrowed some engineering advances from the venerable Teutonic company. So in effect you have a Maserati with a Ferrari tuned engine based on a Chrysler block that evolved from Mercedes-Benz. Not necessarily bad provenance.

compare to a cls?
I was under the impression they where spending a lot to build there own motors in house,maybe 2015 / 16 ?
The base model in Istanbul 3,0 ltV6 turbo diesel version is 155,485 € and the other version is 3.0 lt V6 GP is 196,571 € :)))
That is a lot of money ... those taxes are ridiculous!
Drove one for a few days, the throttle response was sluggish and transmission was atrocious. The engine does sound fantastic though. Would never drop $80-90K on this car when there are much better options.
Germans giggled at this dodge looking interior.
Its style if far above BMW, let alone bland Audi.
this VS jaguar XJ?
Quattro........ Port?
Italians have never made a small saloon/sedan before? If that's true then Fiat and Alfa Romeo must be French.
Kristian Brandt Quattraporte
This guy thinks we came hear for the sound of his voice over the sound of the engine
lol
I think the Jaguar XF is very comparable and a good bit less expensive. :-)
I thought it was called "Marshall" when I saw it on the street at a first glance distant.
Nice Car, Seems like M/B already made this.... CLS 55 / 63
The first reviewer i've seen who actually finds the seats unquestionably comfortable compared to the Germans, the steering "great", AND finds the shared Chrysler components within view acceptable for a Maserati. Hmmm...I find all of that suspect. I get the impression this review is seen through rose-colored glasses based simply on the badge this car has. I find it extremely hard to believe this car is anywhere near "better" than a Mercedes E class, BMW 5 series, or Audi A6/7 when it comes to all of these points he argues in favor of the Maserati. He makes it sound like the Maserati is leages better...but almost all other reviews i've seen/read seem more realistic and tell it like it is: This is NOT a better car than the Germans for the money, UNLESS you simply want to brag you have a Maserati.
Dude this one looks Good now just if it has a V8 MONSTER BUT LET'S WAIT MAYBE THEY GONNA DO IT???? to compete with M5,E63.
thats why they have the quattroporte..
There will be the Ghibli GTS (or MC Stradale... i don't know the name) with the quattroporte v8 engine. Don't worry;)
The tail lights remind me of a kia kadenza or audi a6
This car is much better than the german cars, much pretty to look at. This is the new car to have in the wealthy areas in New Jersey.
Great review, missing some exhaust porn for us though lol.
lets be frank, although this is a nice attempt to broaden the customer base, would not you get way more bang per buck with a mid $50's corvette stingray?
Great car but in the US parts are harder and more expensive to find can't just walk to the parts store to get them
its pronounced QuatoportEEEEE! Don't butcher the beautiful Italian name!
no,it's pronounced quatro PORT eh.just a little exhale at the end.
translate.google.com/#auto/it/quattroporte
ducatiduke I work for the company and I know what the correct pronunciation is genius.
plodej You,sir,most certainly are not employed by Maserati or Fiat.You know nothing of the Italian language. Your effort at insult hangs limply..Did you not listen to the native-speaker pronunciation provided to you?
Joseph Addonizio I work for Fiat Chrysler. I work with Italians everyday and Quatroporte is pronounced with the "eh" at the end. Do you even know what you are arguing? Find a video of a Maserati production line video and you will hear an Italian pronouncing it the right way genius. Till then don't argue something you have no clue about. Have a great day.
My Ghibli is the best!
how are you liking it? im getting one within 4 days :)
Rich City i don't think anyone who actually has a maserati would name there youtube channel rich city
why not? and this is my real name...
yur on crack
Rich City yur on crack
can this be bought right now?
no, not now, its weekend, shops are closed
sadly not in my country, or at least cant find them, fucking nz
I love Maserati but the ghibli looks like a kia optima!
Yeah, I think they lost a lot of their exclusivity with this car.
Ya it does look like Kia but from tail lights overall its a damn good deal
Yeah, those 4 doors and 4 wheels are dead give away its a KIA.
It's tail lights looks like KIA Kadenza.
Just wait till you see one in the flesh, it's just so much more dynamic than pictures can get it across
But is it related to buggati?
Sorry, in my post below I tried to write Alfa Romeo Guilia and my stupid ass phone auto corrected!
the base model @$65,000USD is really affordable!!!
I know it sounds crazy but the the base model in Singapore is over $400,000SGD (that's over $300,000USD!!!).... that's 5 times way cheaper to buy in the States than in Singapore. I'll rush to buy the Maserati Ghibli in the US!
buy it in Malaysia? no way...
Singapore has a bunch of stupid rules and regulations when it comes to car ownership. Sucks man.
Why not buying it in Malaysia ?
David Lim or buy a small fleet in the USA and start a renting company. ez money
+David Lim Yea haha in vietnam the price of a camry is 50-60k! i wonder how much my caddy ATS costs in vietnam too!
I had mixed feelings about the Ghibli, and I feel like Maserati can do so much better. The most expensive Ghibli is just a hair under $100K. I think I would be looking at a Quattroporte.
It all depends on what one can or is willing to spend Marc. There always will be better or more. The SQ4 is an outstanding car for a fair amount of money. I am not challenged to go bigger (as we only are 2) but might be when the new Levante comes
you wrote"quatoportEEE",causing us to think you are saying it with a hard A at the end.
"Battle with the Audi A6" shows an A8 lol.
How can you tell? Lol
Wrong. They showed a A6 with the optional of Full LED lights
i thing this is the real mix of american with the only style of the italians like an ipad with italian motor the display are the same of the 300 but with the class of masserati i relly need to have one no merc no audis no bimmers this is different like my giuilietta small but diferent to drive like any brand but the mortals can buy
there's no way maserati has the fiancial backbone to R&D its own navigation system, so it has to use a dodge dart's navigation.
Apart from the engine of this car there is nothing desirable about it. I'd get an AMG or BMW M for that money.
I rather get the BMW 550i then this
ok
Nice review but please drop the annoying background music. It just gets in the way.
when the 2016 charger and 300c come out they will look just like this car and somebody gets this car they will be paying an extra amount of money because its called a Maserati
The Maserati will have a far better quality interior, though.
If you want affordability in an Italian car get a Fucking Fiat 500. This tarnishes prestige of the Maserati name to the public. It's no longer any different than driving a Mercedes or a BMW.
WHAT AN AKWARD NAME IT SOUNDS LIKE THE DWARF'S NAME FROM Lord of The Rings
I really like the ghibli except the back. The back of it looks like an average car. I wish it looked physically similar to the gran turismo.
+bituco94 the back needs to be a little more fierce lookign!
people buy exclusivity as well, so if you make cars affordable then you're taking away a key part of the maserati brand and other italian sports cars. I wouldn't want to drive a car that three other people are going to have within a half of a mile radius. maybe its just me though.
Tail lights looks like that one Japanese car, forgot what it was.
the rear looks like a kia!
Why can't Maserati use a Ferrari Navigation system, instead of sharing parts with Chrysler. Electric components are so cheap nowdays.If Maserati wants to enter a new segment, please gave customers a genuine deal.
Jaguar XF owns them all... Ghibli is a nice car, but there is no competition for Jaguars
Rejected Beats lol
The Maserati Grantourismo beats everything~
I wish I could afford a. Car. Like this. .......I'm. So. Poor. I. Can. Bearly. Fix. On. My. 1997 Toyota. Avalon
thats shit compared to my car. (my dads car) we have a black 2011 lambo and i forget what kind it is and we used to have a 1989 black mustang but we sold it.
Kassius Kler how cool
