最近谍照记者在冰天雪地的瑞典拍到了正在测试的玛莎拉蒂Ghibli改款车，从车身伪装看，该车将进行轻度改款。它的前后保险杠及格栅都进行了遮盖，看起来更具侵略性一些。而尾灯组则与现行版一样，预计这些部位将进行小改款。现在还不清楚Ghibli的动力系统会有哪些变化，不过车厂去年在巴黎车展发布的2017款车型刚刚对3.0升V6双涡轮引擎进行了升级，功率提升了20马力至257千瓦/350马力。车辆百公里加速时间仅需5.5秒，最高时速267公里。另外，该车已经配备了8.4英寸显示屏，可兼容安卓Auto和苹果CarPlay。玛莎拉蒂还将增加更多隔音材料以降低车厢内噪音，同时增加更多安全设备。或许改款车将与总裁一样增加GranLusso和GranSport版本以替代目前的Luxury和Sport版本。新的内装，合金轮圈，更多车身颜色和其他改变也在计划之中。预计玛莎拉蒂将在年底前发布Ghibli改款车，很有可能选择9月的法兰克福车展。

 

2018 Maserati Ghibli facelift looks upset by the spy camera

The Maserati Ghibli facelift prototype manages to attract more attention because of its camouflage rather than flying under the radar. Caught by the spy camera in snowy Sweden, the sexy sedan was preparing for what is shaping up to be a light refresh judging by the amount of disguise used. It’s covering the front and rear bumpers along with the grille, which by the looks of it is going to look a tad bit more aggressive. While the taillights have been carried over from the current model, expect them to receive a nip and tuck on the revised version.

 

We are not expecting any changes underneath the hood considering the Ghibli was updated for last year’s Paris Motor Show when the 2017MY debuted with an extra 20 hp for the biturbo 3.0-liter V6, now with 350 hp (257 kW). It’s enough punch to allow the car run to 62 mph (100 kph) in 5.5 seconds and max out at 166 mph (267 kph).

 

It’s the same story with the infotainment system taking into account the desirable sedan has already received the 8.4-inch setup with both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay integration. Maserati also went to the trouble of throwing in some extra noise insulation to boost cabin refinement, while extra safety systems were added as well to sweeten the deal. Perhaps the facelift will see the introduction of GranLusso and GranSport trim levels to replace the existing Luxury and Sport packages as it was the case with the Quattroporte. Fresh upholsteries, alloy wheel designs, body colors, and other novelties might be on the agenda, but nothing to write home about.

 

Expect Maserati to take the wraps off the discreetly facelifted Ghibli before the end of the year, quite possibly in September at the Frankfurt Motor Show.
