The name Ghibli, in Arabic, refers to the hot airstream blowing in from the Sahara desert. So it is rather fitting that the new Maserati Ghibli Hybrid arrives as a powerful wind of change signalling a new era for the Italian automobile manufacturer.
In the Maserati universe, the very first Ghibli was introduced in 1967 in the form of the AM115, a two-door 2+2 V8-engined grand tourer.

Now, five-and-a-half decades and several incarnations later, the Ghibli Hybrid opens a new chapter for the brand, as its first-ever model equipped with a hybrid engine.
Maserati is coming in a little late to the electric game but, as they say, better late than never.

Order book opens for Japanese brand’s first electric vehicle
Mazda Australia’s first electric vehicle won’t be cheap, but the Japanese car-maker says the 2021 Mazda MX-30 Electric will be superior to its rivals in a number of key areas.
Available to order from today (May 5) ahead of first deliveries in August, the ground-breaking Mazda MX-30 Electric is being offered in a single, top-spec Astina grade priced at $65,490 plus on-road costs – almost double the $33,990 starting price of the Mazda MX-30 M Hybrid released in April.
That makes the Mazda MX-30 Electric significantly pricier than Australia’s cheapest electric SUV, the new MG ZS EV ($43,990 drive-away), but lineball with the recently updated Hyundai Kona Electric, which is priced between $62,000 and $66,000 for the Highlander flagship.
