I'm getting a Ghibli because of your reviews, attension to the details. Thanks for all your work Ron.

New models from 2018 + are so much better in every possible way. There are so many details in the exterior and interior improved. Better materials and fit and finish. Front and rear bumper sleeker and aerodynamics improved. Plus, the new electronic steering system, increased HP, and the driving assistance systems added, all these make it a lot better than the previous model. Now it is worth the money for sure. This is in my personal ownership experience.

Ron, Is the 2019 different to the 2018, as I thought 18’ was the facelift year 🤔

Nice, I'm looking at a 2018 Ghibli, aftermarket gold alloys - can't wait

2019 all the way. It looks more aggressive from the outside and the interior is more appealing to the eye. But it’s not like yours is chopped liver. I definitely like the price on the 2016 today in comparison to the 2019!

Awesome video, I’ve always loved this car and all I ever hear is people trashing them, but I actually think they’re good cars. Thanks for the video 👍🏻

Any of these chsnges you can do yourself, swap the rear bumper swap the Info unit etc, the cup holders you can't hide away are ugly, in an italian car, who wants to see a cup holder?

Tough one to choose Ron. i like attributes on both. I like the Gransport front but like the full blackroof on yours. interior? yours wins hands down. Put the front end on your car, then it's a clear choice. Great video, thanks Ron.

Either one looks very good Ron. I think the Gransport wins from a styling point of view.... but ever so slightly. It's a little more aggressive, with the bigger air intakes at the front. On your 2016, the black wrap on the front, the roof and mirrors were good updates. Your two-tone seats look nicer too. I would be tempted to get a can of black paint paint and make the chrome window strips black too! (okay, maybe not with a rattle can, take it somewhere and get it done right...). Another thorough and good video, I enjoyed it!

i love those new headlights and the new lower front bumper/splitter but if someone showed up and offered me either car for free, well, heh, i don’t think I’d be picky

I really like what Maserati has done. The changes are subtle but incredibly effective. The front-end changes are far less noticable (which I think is a good thing since the front-end has always looked good). But, the back of the original Ghiblis is now REALLY dated. When it came out, people frequently acccused it of looking like a Kia. The diffuser was non-existent. The tail lights were simplistic and uninspired (though not sure if these are attributable to the nerissimo pack). It just looked far too pedestrian as you pointed out, particularly following up the beautiful, unmistakable rear end of the gen V Quattroporte. The interior upgrades are much needed, though I wish they'd offer the carbon-backed buckets from the Granturismo in the Gibli (along with the fully carbon fiber steering wheel) Overall, great video, Ron!

Great video! Thank you!

The 2016 was available with ventilated seats if you have the "Luxury Plus" package. This package was also available with the Zegna seats.

New cars are always going to be refined. I still like your 2016 Ghibli better. There’ll never be another spec like yours because you made it unique.

Very nice video. I do like the 2019 with the extra piece of white plastic closing off the front intakes. I just bought a Certified Pre Owned 2015 Ghibli S Q4 with 15,000 miles. Has options of the 20 inch wheels, Alcantara pillars and headrest, Shyhook suspension, Carbon fiber trim, Premium and Luxury packages, red calipers, and "premium sound system." Payed 50 grand less than sticker, and as I see some other comments were already made, definitely worth buying CPO.... My biggest complaint is the "premium" sound system and touchscreen. Being Chrysler is the parent company the touchscreen is basically the same as my 2013 Dodge Ram 1500, and the stereo in the Ram CRUSHES the stereo in the Maserati. Thoroughly disappointed that a $95,000 car has a stereo that sounds horrible. Yes, I'm very particular about music and sound quality, wish I had the B & W system. Any recommendations out there to get better sound out of this system without putting a new head unit in?????? The stereo has plenty of highs, needs more mid bass and low end. Power amp for the speakers and powered subwoofer that's small but big in sound???

Ron I actually own a 2018 SQ4 I feel differently from you, our 2016-18 rear bumpers look more full & chunky, the cut outs in the 2019 make it look more skinny, just my opinion 👍🏽

Also, your car looks awesome, so I wouldn’t have any regrets as you said. Beautiful cars.

Ron's Rides! To be quite honest I only respect maserati's because of you and your passion for the brand. The 2019 Ghibli looks pretty slick though! Keep up the good work my man.

Excellent video I'm coming this week. Can't wait. 😍😝

By définition the 2019 have been modified 70% compared to previous models

I am looking at a 2020 Ghibli right now and I think if I had to choose between these two I would take the new one, but it would be close. I have to have the S model and the 424 HP or else it really isn't worth it in my mind. How has the piano black worked in your interior? I hear it shows fingerprints like crazy. Which is steering me towards some sort of darker wood finish. I'm not really a carbon interior guy.

Let me ask you something; would the newer rear diffuser and bumper from the newer Ghibli bolt right onto yours in place? I guess you might have a color match issue, but I think yours looks great man. Look, I bought a new 2016 E63 AMGs, and voila, two years later they did a complete redesign and upped the HP from 578hp to 612hp, but you know what? The newer ones are cool, but they’ve changed the exhaust note so much and made the inside so overly electronic that I’m happy with mine. Just stick with the one you have - it’s an awesome vehicle 👍🏻

Both are nice 💯💯

You’re not going to notice 59 horsepower, especially when it’s at the top end. Like what u did with your roof, but the changes made over the life of the model up to the 2019 model seem to have fixes all the issues. I’d take the 2019. The seats in the Gran Sport can’t be beat.

I'd flip a coin and take either one. I have to say that you modded your car very tastefully. Not overdone at all. I will take the rear of the 2019.

so beautiful both !!!

If you could do it over again, would you have gone with a CPO? I often think about that just to save on depreciation. Also, have you had any of the issues so many of the naysayers have posted about? Really like the car and might consider a CPO Ghibli once the car markets normalize…if ever.

I like the 2019.when your steering wheel was flaking was it covered under warranty???

Hey Ron Very nice video, I really like your Maserati. Actually I am interesting in buying one from 2016. Can give some advices or what to pay attention at? How is the performance, fuel consumption, reliability, etc. Thank you anticipated!

Was it possible to get the facelit model with a wooden center console?

Well yours better simple fact cuz the price right now yours will cost like 20-25k $ so that means it will be more better to add features and still looking great instead paying 94k

White roof definitely

Just to sum up, the difference between the 2016s and 2019s are: there is NO difference.

2019 wins!!! Good job!

WHEEEERES THE NEW GEN OF GRAN TURISMO!!!! No the Facelift old GranTursimo All brands are making super awesome handsome cars and Maserati keeps just doing Facelifts Really?????? By the way, Great video as always Ron! Thanks for sharing all this Maserati world with us!

I like yours with the updates you did. Your lights are better too imo. 2019 has nice upgrades too.

Love yours as well.

Old vs New! Which Maserati Ghibli looks BETTER?!

I think I like 2016 front end better , looks more aggressive

Have you had alot of problems with your car

Is that a Pearl white?

Buying 2019 gransport sq4 AWD in 26 days;)))))))))

Ill say 50/50

Hey man I'm thinking of getting a 16 from mazdaratti how has your maintenance been?

I’d do a 2018 grandsport s used

Hey man I've been lurking in your videos for a while and I like your content! I have a few questions to ask you regarding Maseratis in general and was wondering if there is a good place for me to contact you like IG or anything of the sort? Also, subscribed!

2019

I like the 2019 best. But power over looks every single day of the week

Why do they charge a different price for a different color?

Does the trident illuminate at night like mercedes?

Sorry Ron but I would take the 19 hows the car shopping going?

2016! Hands down! Your car has the best appearance, inside and out!

Which exhaust is much louder between 2016 and 2019?

The 2019

Grand sport!

Hey how do I contact you need email

Some Quattroporte content please!!!!!

New one!

I prefer the gransport

I think this means you need a get a 2019?? :)

Gransport!!!!

They look exactly the same to me. The laziest facelift ever. The car is too small. Get a quattroporte.

This car is one of the biggest POS on the market. Just check out all of the reviews. My buddy has one and has nothing but problems with it.

Did you honestly pay MSRP on the car? 😳 did you. It negotiate at all? Lol

Maserati with VM motori ,fiat group engine 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎is not reliable, sorry for that!

The 2019 model looks good but the 2016 looks better

Maserati copied Ron lol

Just a nice comparison, of trash cans.

2019
