Recently, we got the latest interior spy photos of Maserati Grecale from foreign media. It is reported that the new car is positioned as an entry-level model of Maserati and is expected to make its global debut in the spring of 2022. In addition, Grecale's competitor is undoubtedly the Porsche Macan.
Judging from the latest interior spy photos, the car adopts a longitudinal layout of the central display, where the upper screen is used as a regular infotainment screen, while the lower screen is used to control functions such as air conditioning. In addition, the car features a three-panel multi-function steering wheel, plus oversized paddle shifters, which further emphasises the sporty atmosphere of the interior.
In terms of smart configuration, the new car is also expected to be equipped with the latest Maserati Intelligent Assistant (MIA) in-car entertainment system, equipped with ADAS advanced driver assistance system.
The Grecale, whose name is derived from the fierce Mediterranean monsoon, is Maserati's second generation model after the release of the MC20 supercar and is the most important key product in Maserati's brand renewal plan. Therefore, in terms of design, Grecale inherits many elements of the MC20, including headlamps similar to the MC20 silhouette, straight waterfall water tank fence and leaf sheet metal heat dissipation fin holes.
In terms of tail design, the new car is more simple and stylish than the Levante, and the tail light groups on both sides tend to be three-dimensional. The angular layers blend perfectly with the tail lines, while the lower exhaust is equipped with a bilateral four-out layout.
The power has not been officially revealed, but it is expected to be equipped with the same 2.0T four-cylinder engine + 48V light mixing system + electric turbine powertrain of maserati Ghibli, the maximum power of the whole set is 246kW (335PS), the peak torque is 450N·m, matching the 8-speed manual transmission. In addition, Maserati officially announced that all new models will be equipped with pure electric versions, so The Gregale will also have pure electric models in the future.
