As the world of automobiles moves towards electric energy, Maserati has plans to go completely electric by 2030. The Grecale is a range within the range, with three versions of engines: conventional internal combustion, hybrid, and, in a year, the first full-electric SUV in Maserati history.
The Grecale GT features a 2.0 litre, four-cylinder mild-hybrid engine capable of delivering 300 hp and 450Nm of torque and can speed from 0-100km/h in 5.6 seconds. The Grecale Modena comes with the same engine tuned at 330 hp and 450Nm, taking 5.3 seconds to go from 0-100 km/h. The most powerful variant is the Trofeo, powered by a high-performance 3.0L 530-hp petrol V6 based on the Nettuno engine fitted to the MC20. The SUV can roar from 0-100km/h in just 3.8 seconds and hones a top speed of 285 km/h(177mph).
Design
The Maserati Grecale SUV embraces the brand’s new visual symbol launched with the MC20, featuring the low and imposing grille and the horizontal silhouette of the MC20 vertically. In the rear, the boomerang taillights are inspired by the Giugiaro 3200 GT sports coupe launched in 1998. The Trofeo features a rear-wheel track, while the GT and Modena take on bespoke bumper and chrome detailing on the front grille.
Interior
The interiors of the Maserati Grecale SUV are minimalistic, shifting from the previous layout; the SUV features a new four-screen touch-based setup. The 12.3” central screen is the largest ever seen in a Maserati, and another 8.8” display for the extra controls like climate control and a third for the passengers in the rear seats. The Maserati Intelligent Assistant (MIA) Multimedia system controls the in-car experience. With fine materials like wood, carbon fiber, and leather, the GT adorns warm colors, and the Modena features bespoke embroidery and trims elements. The Trofeo uses exposed carbon fiber panels and perforated leather seats with contrast stitching.
Availability and Customisation
The Maserati Grecale SUV is currently available in four colors and five different drive modes: Comfort, GT, Sport, Corsa, and Off-Road. The Grecale will also be available in the PrimaSerie Launch Edition, a limited edition featuring exclusive content. The Grecale Folgore is the 100% electric version with 400V technology, while other details of the electric sister remain under wraps. The Grecale GT starts at $63,500 and varies according to customisation; the other vehicles start at $77,400.
