Maserati is a famous ultra-luxury brand in Italy, has a very brilliant history, once with the cow and horse, known as the queen of sports cars, with the development of the market, Maserati also launched the Ghibli entry-level model, in order to reduce the brand threshold, so that more people can drive Maserati, Ghibli with a handsome and elegant appearance and surging charming sound wave by young people like, the launch of Ghibli so that Maserati sales reached a new peak, In order to cater to the market, the new Ghibli launched a 2.0T hybrid version, but the problem also came.
The new Ghibli still maintains a forward-looking style in the appearance design, integrating elegance and fashion, showing the flavor of an Italian luxury car, the middle net shape is very impactful, the metal chrome decoration looks shining, the headlights are sharp, and the shape of the entire front face is like a shark, giving people a very combat style feeling.
The body is slender and charming, under the careful creation of Italian designers, the body lines are very dynamic, quite a bit of the taste of the coupe, and very visually recognizable, and the shark cheek design is even more classic. However, the body material is mainly steel, resulting in excessive weight and a curb weight of more than 2 tons.
Equipped with four-piston calipers, the braking performance is really excellent, and the tire grip is strong, very suitable for sports driving, the fly in the ointment is that the wheel shape is too low-key, it seems that it does not set off the temperament of Maserati.
The tail design is very recognizable, the tail is relatively wide overall, and the use of black tail light design, which makes its visual effect very good, four out of the exhaust is very performance car style, built-in valve control, in the sport mode, Ghibli's exhaust sound wave is still very charming, but the new car due to the replacement of the 2.0T + 48V engine, resulting in a great reduction in sound, and the 3.0T version is far from the difference.
The interior design is still the same as the old look, not how amazing, can only work the materials, the whole car uses leather wrapping and solid wood accessories, the roof is covered by suede, the texture is very sufficient, belongs to the kind of model that gives people a sense of luxury from the experience, which is also the consistent style of Italian luxury cars.
The mechanical instrument panel has been innovated, looking more fashionable and sporty, watching the hands climb, listening to the pleasant sound, a strong desire to drive spontaneously.
The new central control screen should be larger and more advanced, the fluency can be improved, but the logic needs to be strengthened, I have to say that in the software equipment, Maserati is constantly improving, at least the reversing image of the new car is no longer a mosaic quality.
As a C-class car, the space of the Maserati Ghibli is not as spacious as the 56E, because the original car is not lengthened, nor is it administratively oriented, so the space is not so elaborate, which leads to a rear seating experience is not good enough, although the seat is comfortable, but the oppressive feeling of space makes the ride comfort greatly reduced.
This set of 2.0T + 48V engine is Maserati's latest research and development, with 330 horsepower and 450 Nm of torque, equipped with 8AT gearbox, the actual acceleration performance is more than 6 seconds, put in the present point of view, it is really very general, and the acceleration experience is not as good as before, not only the sense of pushing back is not strong enough, the explosive power of acceleration is not so sufficient, which is really in the self-destruction of martial arts for Maserati, so sales are also falling again and again, but Maserati does not seem to realize the problem, Instead, the set of power was given to Levante, which was another wrong decision.
Many people buy Maserati diagram is the car logo and sound wave, both are indispensable, in the current competition is so fierce, Maserati actually sword to the side, with the sound wave to exchange the price, the entry-level model landing is still close to 800,000, the choice of this range is too much, almost all six cylinders four-wheel drive with empty hanging, and there is no sound wave of Maserati, it is obvious that there is no competitiveness at this price, this year's sales report also confirms this problem, the year-on-year decline is very large.
