Após um longo período de divulgação, o Maserati Ghibli Hybrid finalmente chegou. E ele parece bem familiar porque não é um modelo de segunda geração, e sim uma atualização mais completa do mesmo sedã esportivo que está no mercado desde 2013. A principal novidade é a adoção de um trem de força híbrido leve para iniciar o cronograma de eletrificação da marca.
Trata-se de um motor turbo 2.0 litros 4-cilindros, um supercharger elétrico, um alternador de 48 volts e uma bateria montada na parte traseira. Produz 334 cv de potência a 5.750 rpm e 45,9 kgfm de torque a 4.000 rpm, o que ajuda o Ghibli Hybrid a acelerar de 0 a 100 km/h em 5,7 segundos e atingir a velocidade máxima de 255 km/h.
Comparado ao diesel V6, ele reduz as emissões de CO2 em 25% e o peso em aproximadamente 80 kg. A potência é direcionada para o eixo traseiro através de uma transmissão automática de oito velocidades ZF, com a Maserati optando por uma configuração híbrida suave em vez de um híbrido plug-in para evitar adicionar uma bateria maior que elevaria o peso total. Dito isto, com 1.950 kg, não é necessariamente leve.
Para enfatizar que se trata da variante ecológica, a Maserati adicionou detalhes externos azuis nas três pequenas saídas de ar laterais, pinças de freio e o logotipo do Trident na coluna traseira. O tema azul tem um correspondente no interior, onde há as costuras contrastantes. Com o Ghibli Hybrid, a marca italiana também está introduzindo um facelift leve para o sedã, com a grade frontal e os faróis atualizados, além de novas lanternas com uma assinatura de iluminação bumerangue inspirada no conceito 3200 GT e no Alfieri.
Modificações adicionais podem ser encontradas na cabine, onde o Ghibli 2021 usa um sistema de entretenimento e informação atualizado, rodando no Android Automotive e com a tela aumentada de 8,4" para 10,1". Agora há um quadro de instrumentos totalmente digital substituindo os medidores analógicos da velha escola, enquanto o recém-lançado programa Maserati Connect atualiza o software e faz a verificação de eventuais falhas do carro.
O Ghibli Hybrid é o porta-voz do impulso de eletrificação da Maserati, que continuará em 2021 com versões totalmente elétricas da próxima geração do GranTurismo e GranCabrio. Enquanto isso, o supercarro MC20 tem lançado previsto para setembro.

New Ghibli Hybrid: the first electrified vehicle in Maserati's history
The first hybrid vehicle in Maserati's history
Developed by the Maserati Innovation Lab of Modena
The vehicle will be produced at the Avvocato Giovanni Agnelli Plant (AGAP) at Grugliasco (Turin)
Modena, 16 July 2020 – The spark of electrification ignites Maserati's future: with the new Ghibli Hybrid, the Trident Brand enters the world of electrification.
The new Ghibli Hybrid represents one of the most ambitious projects for Maserati, which after the announcement of the new engine for the MC20 super sports car now sets the seal on another step forward towards the brand's new Era.
The choice to introduce the hybrid technology on the Ghibli sedan is no coincidence: this model, with over 100,000 units produced since its launch in 2013, perfectly embodies the Modena-based manufacturer’s DNA.
In fact, the challenge facing Maserati was to enter the world of electrification without altering the brand's core philosophy and values. The result? The creation of the best possible hybrid. What's more, Ghibli Hybrid will retain the unmistakable sound that has always distinguished every Maserati.
The arrival of the new Ghibli Hybrid thus expands the Maserati range, which is now even more competitive and responsive to the demands of the market.
Design
Ghibli Hybrid is immediately recognisable, thanks in part to the new design of both exterior and interior. The common denominator of the restyling, developed by the Centro Stile Maserati, is the blue colour, chosen to identify all cars with hybrid technology and the new world they represent.
On the exterior, the blue colour characterises the three iconic side air ducts, the brake calipers and the thunderbolt in the oval that encloses the Trident on the rear pillar. The same blue colour reappears inside the car, in particular on the embroidered seams of the seats. The new Ghibli Hybrid also introduces new stylistic contents, starting from the new front grille, with bars redesigned to represent a tuning fork, a musical device that emits a sound of extreme purity, and which also evokes the Trident symbol itself. There are significant changes at the rear of the car, where the light clusters have been completely restyled, with a boomerang-like profile inspired by the 3200 GT and the Alfieri concept car.
Mild Hybrid
In perfect harmony with its DNA, Maserati has chosen a hybrid solution focused primarily on improving performance, while also reducing fuel consumption and cutting emissions.
The hybrid technology exploits kinetic energy the car accumulates when in motion, recovering it and transforming it into electricity during deceleration and braking, and storing it in a battery.
The innovative powertrain, the outcome of in-depth engineering development work by the technicians and engineers of the Maserati Innovation Lab in Modena, combines an internal combustion engine (4 cylinders, turbo, displacement of 2.0 l) with a 48 volt alternator and an additional electric supercharger (e-Booster), supported by a battery. This solution is unique in its segment, and is the first in a new generation of powertrains, with the perfect trade-off between performance, efficiency and driving pleasure.
The battery is mounted in the rear of the car, with benefits in terms of improved weight distribution.
This version weighs about 80 kg less than the Diesel.
Thanks to maximum power output of 330 hp and torque of 450 Nm delivered from just 1,500 rpm, the new Ghibli Hybrid's performance data are very impressive: top speed of 255 km/h and acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.7 seconds.
Ghibli Hybrid occupants will still revel in the unmistakable sound that characterises all Maserati models, thanks to the optimised exhaust, which includes specially designed resonators.
Connectivity
Ghibli Hybrid also marks the debut of the new Maserati Connect program, which enables a constant connection with the car: the information exchange continues when on the move, to improve the services offered to the driver. As well as updating the software packages, the system performs checks on the car and monitors the Safety Security services in emergencies.
The Maserati Intelligent Assistant multimedia system is latest-generation, based on digital inputs from Android Automotive, software that delivers an innovative User Experience fully customisable to the driver's personal preferences. The multimedia system's HD screen, with new graphics, more user-friendly and without surrounds, is increased in size from 8”4 to 10”1. A new instrument panel with digital devices and new graphics is also introduced.
Electrification the Maserati way
The new Ghibli Hybrid represents the first step in a plan that will lead to the electrification of all new Maserati models. The Brand's first all-electric cars will be the new GranTurismo and GranCabrio, scheduled for 2021.
