Maserati has revealed its first ever hybrid production car in the form of the Ghibli Hybrid, which will join the line-up from October.
The first step in the company’s electrification plan sees the Ghibli saloon adopt a brand new 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol powertrain with an electric supercharger and 48-volt mild hybrid assistance. The end result is a reduction in CO2 emissions of around 25 per cent compared with the standard V6 Ghibli, while providing a similar level of performance.
The engine develops 325bhp and 450Nm of torque, enabling 0-62mph in 5.7 seconds and a top speed of 158mph. As for fuel efficiency and CO2 emissions, the brand claims 33.2mpg and 192g/km respectively.
Inside, new detailing is found in the form of blue stitching, instrumentation and blue Maserati badges etched on to the front seat headrests. The Ghibli Hybrid is equipped with 12-way adjustable sports seats, a sport steering wheel and sport pedals as standard.
The Ghibli benefits from technology updates introduced in the saloon’s most recent model-year revision. The instrumentation is now partially digital with a driver information display between the speed and rev dials, while the central touchscreen is 10.1-inches in size and features a new user interface with updated graphics. The Ghibli Hybrid is also compatible with Maserati Connect. This allows owners to control certain vehicle functions remotely via a smartphone app, track service intervals, link the car to home devices through Amazon Alexa and Google Assist and more
