Detailed analysis of the Maserati Ghibli Diesel · 275 CV (2013-2016)
General description
The 2013 Maserati Ghibli Diesel bursts into the luxury sedan segment with a bold proposal and a diesel engine that, for many, might seem like a heresy in the house of the trident. However, this model seeks to combine Maserati's elegance and sporty spirit with fuel efficiency more in line with modern times. With 275 HP and an unmistakable design, the Ghibli Diesel positions itself as an interesting alternative for those seeking distinction without sacrificing daily practicality.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel of the Ghibli Diesel, the experience is surprisingly rewarding. Despite its diesel engine, the sound emanating from the exhaust has been carefully orchestrated to evoke the Maserati essence, although it doesn't reach the symphony of its gasoline siblings. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.3 seconds and a top speed of 250 km/h demonstrate that performance has not been sacrificed. The speed-sensitive hydraulic steering offers a genuine connection with the road, while the deformable parallelogram suspension on both axles provides a balance between comfort and agility. It's a car that invites you to devour kilometers with a sense of control and sophistication, although its weight of 1910 kg is noticeable in sharper changes of direction.
Design and aesthetics
The design of the Maserati Ghibli Diesel is, without a doubt, one of its strong points. With a length of 4971 mm, a width of 1945 mm, and a height of 1461 mm, its silhouette is athletic and elegant. The front grille, with the iconic trident, dominates the front, flanked by sharp headlights that give it an aggressive look. The fluid lines and balanced proportions give it an imposing presence on the road. Inside, the quality of the materials and finishes are worthy of the brand, with a cabin designed for five occupants that combines luxury and functionality. The 500-liter trunk is generous for a sedan in its category.
Technology and features
Under the hood, the Ghibli Diesel houses a 2987 cc V6 engine with common rail direct injection, variable geometry turbo, and intercooler, delivering 275 HP at 4000 rpm and an impressive torque of 600 Nm at 2000 rpm. The 8-speed automatic transmission with torque converter manages power smoothly and efficiently, sending it to the rear wheels. It incorporates Stop&Start technology to improve efficiency. In terms of safety, it features ventilated disc brakes measuring 345 mm at the front and 320 mm at the rear. Although it's not a showcase of today's latest driving assistance technology, at the time it offered what was necessary for safe and pleasant driving.
Competition
The Maserati Ghibli Diesel faces heavyweights in the luxury sedan segment, such as the BMW 5 Series, the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, and the Audi A6, all with powerful and efficient diesel options. It also competes with the Jaguar XF. Its main asset against these rivals is its exclusivity and the prestige of the Maserati brand, offering a more passionate and distinctive character than its German competitors, who are often perceived as more rational and sober. However, in terms of technology and equipment, it might lag behind some of its more modern adversaries.
Conclusion
The 2013 Maserati Ghibli Diesel is a brave and attractive proposition for those seeking a luxury sedan with a touch of exclusivity and an efficient diesel engine. It offers a captivating design, more than sufficient performance, and a luxurious interior. Although the sound of the diesel engine is not that of a gasoline Maserati, the brand has made a notable effort to maintain the sporty essence. It's a car that is enjoyable to drive, turns heads, and offers an emotional alternative to the more conventional options on the market. Its combined consumption of 5.9 l/100km and emissions of 158 g/km of CO2 make it surprisingly efficient for its size and power.
