Two new teaser videos of the long-awaited
Maserati Ghibli Hybrid have been shared on Facebook by the Italian car
manufacturer ahead of the vehicle’s debut on Thursday, July 16. The first of
the teasers reveals that the classic Maserati trio of small air vents on the
front wheel arches will include blue accents as a hint towards the vehicle’s
hybrid powertrain. Meanwhile, the second teaser video is more revealing as it
provides us with a good idea of how the car’s front fascia will look.
For the most part, the changes up front
appear minimal from the current Ghibli model. The car features a very familiar
Maserati grille while there are also gaping wide air intakes on the lower
portion of the bumper.
We are also offered a glimpse at the
headlights which are similar to those of the outgoing Ghibli although they may
be a little bit sharper and more aggressive. Technical specifications regarding
the Ghibli Hybrid won’t be known until it’s unveiling. With that being said,
the vehicle will most likely be a plug-in hybrid that combines a 2.0-liter
turbocharged four-cylinder with an electric motor. CarScoops understands the
car will pump out roughly 325 hp.
The arrival of a Ghibli Hybrid isn’t the
only thing happening with the luxury sedan. Maserati is readying its second
facelift for the Ghibli range as a whole that will include revised front and
rear fascias as well as some interior updates, including a larger infotainment
system that likely has new and improved software.
