Stars in the Euro NCAP - Crash Test

The Maserati Ghibli with the internal designation M157 is the third model from the Italian car manufacturer Maserati to be launched under this name. However, unlike the previous namesake ( Tipo AM115 and Tipo AM336 ), it is not a sports coupé, but a notchback sedan of the upper middle class . The Ghibli was presented at Auto Shanghai in April 2013 and is the first Maserati to be available with a diesel engine . The market launch took place on August 17, 2013.

For the 2017 model year, the Ghibli received a facelift. In addition to a base engine that is 14 kW (20 PS) more powerful and a revised interior, this also includes extended assistance systems and new equipment variants.

For the 2021 model year, Maserati presented the series with a two-liter gasoline engine and mild hybrid . It is supposed to replace the diesel engine. In addition, with the Trofeo model, a new top model is being launched.
