By ET Online | Updated:
Maserati, an Italian luxury vehicle manufacturer, on Friday launched the all-new 2021 Ghibli range in India. The Ghibli range expands the car maker's Trofeo collection. This is the first hybrid vehicle in Maserati's history to be developed by the Maserati Innovation Lab of Modena.
The latest Ghibli model offers exclusive luxury, glorious style and progressive technology, marrying race-bred engineering and Italian craftsmanship and style. In addition to class-leading 3.0-litre V6 & V8 Petrol engines, an all-new 4-cylinder 2.0-litre engine with a 48V Hybrid system is now available. It offers everything synonymous with Maserati: massive power, snarling responsiveness, effortless long-distance refinement and impressive efficiency.
Coming to the exterior, the 2021 restyled signature grille bears the iconic Maserati Trident. Inspired by the Giugiaro-penned Maserati 3200 GT ‘boomerang’ rear lights that pioneered the use of LED in the industry, the new MY21 tail lights will grab eyeballs.
Live audacious. Drive with character. With Maserati Ghibli Trofeo, stand out in just 4.3 seconds.
Dramatically dark with sport-styled customizations inside and out, both the Nerissimo Package and the Nerissimo Carbon Package are designed to give this Maserati machine a more seductive, intimidating and aggressive look.
The MY21 Ghibli is equipped with a comprehensive range of Level 2 ADAS, the highest level of autonomous driving currently permitted. This gives greater peace of mind in a variety of traffic conditions. The Ghibli also comes equipped with Skyhook suspensions with shock absorbers to deliver continuous damping variation. The system's sensors monitor the movement of each wheel and the vehicle body to determine the road conditions and how the vehicle is being driven. It then instantly adjusts each damper to give you optimal and comfortable riding experience.

Move with a touch This new high-resolution display with multi-touch function carries a new graphic interface that mixes black with a golden colour to enhance its elegance. The central HD touch screen is now frameless for a more contemporary look with almost all the surrounding bezel removed. There is a subtle change to instrument cluster which now includes a large rev counter and speedometer on either side of a 7” TFT display with real anti-dazzle flat glass covers over the instruments.
It's simply faster by design. A resounding confirmation of your desire to race away from the pack.
Staying Connected All Maserati cars are now connected, thanks to the new Maserati Connect program. The Maserati Connect will alert the driver when a service is due, and also provides assistance in emergencies such as a case of car theft. Drivers can always stay in contact with their Maserati through their smartphone or smartwatch with the help of the Maserati Connect App.
Ghibli Hybrid With the new Ghibli Hybrid, the Trident Brand enters the world of electrification. It comes packed with all-new hybrid powertrain with a 2.0-litre petrol engine.

Mastering efficiency With 20% less fuel consumption but performance in line with the 350hp Ghibli petrol version, the Mild Hybrid technology delivers efficiency with zero compromise.
A cold, high-tech grey shade with blue overtones, Grigio Evoluzione is a bespoke exterior paint that gives its elegant shape the evolution it embodies. Blue Air Vent allows electric sparks to pass through the iconic triple side air vents to make the Ghibli Hybrid unmistakably distinctive.
Like any other Maserati, Ghibli Hybrid is amazing to look at, inspiring to drive, and a privilege to experience. What's more? Well, it sounds awesome, too.
All the sophistication, character and luxury you expect from a contemporary premium sedan, it has it all. Customers will also have the option to configure the exterior and interior look of the new Ghibli Hybrid in GranLusso or GranSport trim using the virtual Maserati configurator.
