2017 Maserati Ghibli Base

The 2017 Maserati Ghibli Sedan 4D represents an alluring blend of Italian exotic performance, dramatic visual styling, and executive luxury within the mid-size sports sedan segment. Engineered on an aluminum-intensive architecture with a double-wishbone front and multi-link rear suspension, the 2017 model year introduced a refreshed interior layout, enhanced aerodynamic efficiency, and modernized driver-assistance technology packages.
Under the sculpted aluminum hood lies a Ferrari-built, twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter DOHC 24-valve 60-degree V6 engine featuring direct fuel injection. In standard Ghibli specification, this powertrain generates 345 horsepower at 5,500 RPM and 369 lb-ft of torque available across a broad powerband from 1,750 to 5,000 RPM (upgraded to 404 hp on Ghibli S variants). Power is routed to the rear wheels (RWD) through an ZF 8-speed automatic transmissionfeaturing five dedicated shift modes (Auto Normal, Auto Sport, Manual Normal, Manual Sport, and I.C.E. - Increased Control & Efficiency) and available column-mounted aluminum paddle shifters. Supported by a mechanical limited-slip rear differential, hydraulic power steering, and 4-wheel ventilated disc brakes, the 4,145-lb Ghibli accelerates from 0 to 60 MPH in 5.5 seconds with a top track speed of 166 MPH.
On the exterior, the 2017 Ghibli features Maserati's distinctive concave front grille with a prominent Trident emblem, bi-xenon headlights with integrated LED daytime running lights, frameless door glass, traditional fender air vents with chrome surrounds, a subtle integrated trunk lip spoiler, and quad round chrome exhaust tailpipes backed by a bypass-valve active exhaust system. The vehicle maintains a low-slung, athletic stance rolling on standard 19-inch Poseidone alloy wheels wrapped in all-season performance tires (with 20-inch and 21-inch wheels widely optioned on Sport and Luxury packages).
Inside, the driver-centric cabin accommodates up to five occupants with hand-crafted Poltrona Frau® leather seating upholstery and open-pore Radica wood interior trim inlays. Interior features include 8-way power heated front seats with 4-way power lumbar and driver memory, leather-wrapped multifunction steering wheel, Dual-Zone Automatic Climate Control, proximity Keyless Entry with push-button start, power sunroof, and an analog Maserati dash clock. Digital connectivity centers around an upgraded 8.4-inch Maserati Touch Control Plus (MTC+) display screenfeaturing a rotary console controller, Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, Bluetooth® phone and audio streaming, SiriusXM®, SD card slot, auxiliary/USB ports, and a standard 8-speaker audio system (or available 10-speaker 900-watt Harman Kardon® Premium Sound System or 15-speaker 1,280-watt Bowers & Wilkins® Ultra Premium Audio System).
Practicality and spatial utility remain balanced within its long 118.0-inch wheelbase platform. Opening the remote power trunk lid reveals 17.7 cubic feet of cargo trunk space, offering substantial storage room for multi-piece luggage sets or golf bags, complemented by 60/40 split-folding rear seatbacks for additional cabin pass-through capacity.
Backed by an 21.1-gallon fuel tank, the twin-turbo 3.0L V6 achieves an EPA-estimated 17 MPG city and 24 MPG highway (19 MPG combined). Safety features include Maserati Stability Program (MSP), Anti-Lock Brakes (ABS), Brake Assist, Rearview Camera, Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), optional Advanced Driver Assistance Package (Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go, Lane Departure Warning, Forward Collision Warning with Advanced Brake Assist, Automated Emergency Braking, and Surround View Camera), and a comprehensive multi-stage 7-airbag protection canopy network—including dual front airbags, front side airbags, side curtain airbags, and a driver knee airbag—to guarantee absolute driving confidence.
