The new Grecale follows Maserati's tradition of naming it after the strong wind. The model was born in the Maserati Innovation Lab in Modena, Italy, and was carefully built at the Cassino plant in Italy. To meet the diverse pursuit of every fan's dream car, the Maserati Grecale is equipped with multiple powertrain versions, including traditional internal combustion engines and hybrids. In the future, Grecale will also be available in an all-electric version with 400-volt technology. At that time, the Grecale will be the most complete product array ever for the Trident brand, and it will also be the first 100% pure electric SUV in the history of the Maserati brand.

The three versions of Grecale are different in style, and there are more options for owners to creatively customize their own lifestyle and driving experience, indulging in a personalized life. At the time of launch, Maserati Grecale also launched the first limited edition of Prima Serie, with its own unique configuration.
The style is elegant and dazzling
The use of tension in colour, the ingenuity of the material craftsmanship and the presentation of technical specifications highlight Maserati's distinctive brand identity. Carrying the pure and enterprising soul of Italy, Grecale is full of unique style and boundless style, bringing elegance and comfort to the driving pleasure.
As the latest masterpiece to carry the new generation of design style of the Trident brand, Grecale is the same design concept as the SUPERCAR MC20, which ushered in a new era of the brand. The front face shape is recognizable, and the lower grille position creates just the right aura. The silhouette of the body reveals the continuous collision of pure beauty and excellent technology everywhere, the smooth lines give people a sense of romance and agility, and the use of carbon fiber materials shows a sense of technology, which is a glimpse that is unforgettable. The taillights in the shape of a "boomerang", inspired by the Maserati Giugiaro 3200 GT, follow Maserati's signature dynamic trapezoidal silhouette features, and the cockpit design creates a smooth effect of the coupé model, which is more visually impactful with the dynamic supercar appearance.
Consistent with the core concept of "New Life", Maserati has been refining the color selection of Grecale, and has been ingenious in introducing three recognizable first colors: the GT version is Vintage Copper (Bronzo Opaco), with a brownish copper hue with a matte silky minimalist surface; the Modena version is Grigio Cangiante, an interwoven tri-layered color inspired by the crisp fresh light of summer The Trofeo version is Giallo Corse, which blends Modena's representative colors, yellow and blue, and the yellow base color is intertwined with the blue mica color, which powerfully explains the unbreakable bond between Maserati and Modena, creating a sporty look.
The new Grecale stands out for its spaciousness and comfortable ride, with impressive body dimensions, with a GT version measuring 4846 mm, wheelbase 2901 mm, height 1670 mm, width 1948 mm and rear track of 1694 mm. At the same time, Grecalle also has a series of outstanding performances in terms of interior space, driving performance, handling experience, 100 km/h acceleration (Trofeo version is only 3.8 seconds), top speed (Trofeo version is 285 km / h) and so on. High-end audio and the use of luxury materials including a large number of solid wood, carbon fiber and leather have set The Gregale a new benchmark for its peers.
Scientific and technological innovation has unlimited connotations
Equipped with cutting-edge technology, the new Grecale further sublimates its charm. The new car is equipped with a classic digital dial, which is the first time that the Trident brand has adopted a digital clock element in the car, which supports timely response to voice commands from the owner, so that the driver and the car can be interconnected in real time. The operation in the car is at the touch of a fingertip, bringing the beauty of simple life. The new 12.3-inch central control screen is the largest size Maserati has ever seen in the car, an 8.8-inch comfort control panel with additional controls, and a rear seat touchscreen designed for rear passengers.
In the name of driving fun, the new Grecale is equipped with a number of innovative technologies. Maserati's Intelligent Assist (MIA) multimedia system, the latest generation of infotainment systems and Maserati Connect enable a full range of experiences in and out of the car. Trident's signature engine roar, combined with Sonus faber 3D stereo sound, delivers an all-encompassing immersive listening feast. The entire series is equipped with a standard 14-speaker sound system, up to a maximum of 21 optional, to meet the unlimited pursuit of audio.
Every trip with the new Grecale allows you to experience uncompromising driving pleasure and luxurious comfort. This is thanks to the new Vehicle Dynamics Control System (VDCM) and its 360° control over the vehicle. The new car offers five driving modes: COMFORT Comfort, GT, SPORT, OFF-ROAD, and CORSA Track Mode (available in the Trofeo version), allowing the driver to switch between and maneuver at will.
