At the time of writing this article, the Maserati Ghibli was unveiled 8 years ago and yet it still looks like it hasn't aged a day. Not only is the timeless styling a good reason for you to consider the Italian model but also the impressive powertrain options and the luxurious interior specification. You might, however, be concerned about what happens when something becomes faulty or breaks.
While customers can be assured that the luxury Italian sedan is assembled with extremely high quality control in place under the Stellantis group, sometimes some gremlins can sneak through. For this reason, Maserati sells their vehicles with a comprehensive warranty in place so that if you happen to experience any trouble, they can take care of it. Let us take a look at what is covered under the manufacturer car warranty.
Warranty
Regardless if you opt for the hybrid model, the 3.0-litre, turbocharged, V6 petrol or the 3.8-litre, turbocharged V8 petrol variant, Maserati includes the same warranty terms into the purchase price. The warranty that covers your Maserati Ghibli will remain intact for 3-years and unlimited distance, but owners have the option to extend the warranty if they want at an additional cost.
Owners should take note that the warranty will only remain intact if you meet the appointments in the maintenance schedule, no aftermarket modifications have been made to the component or unit and the vehicle was not abused and only driven in the conditions it was intended to. Furthermore, Maserati will only warrant genuine manufacturer components that have been installed by an official Maserati dealership technician.

The warranty protects you against all defects in workmanship and materials from bumper to bumper. This includes the following areas on your Maserati Ghibli.
- Engine
- Transmission
- Differential
- Driveshaft

- Brake system
- Cooling system

Exclusions
Like most warranties, most of the consumables on the Maserati Ghibli will most likely not be covered. However, these items could be included in the 5-year / 100 000km maintenance plan included in the purchase price of the vehicle. It should be noted that even if the owner detects faults on these consumable items, that they schedule a visit at an official Maserati dealership to avoid any further damage.
Owners should also take note that Maserati cannot be held responsible for components that failed due to accident damage, abuse or modification. Here are a few of the consumable parts that you can expect not to be covered under the manufacturer warranty but could feature as service items on the maintenance schedule.
