Two days ago, the Maserati Grecale was officially released, which is a midsize SUV. The main competitor is the Porsche Macan we are familiar with. And this car will also become the entry model of Maserati. According to the current information, it will be officially listed at the Beijing Auto Show. A total of three versions of the model were launched at the conference, namely GT, Modena, and Trofeo. Among them, the GT is the entry-level version, the Modena is the middle car, and the Trofeo series is the top-equipped. In the future, the Maserati Grecale will also launch a pure electric model, and it will also become the first pure electric SUV under the Maserati brand.
I don't know if the new forces have felt trepidation when this news comes out. After all, today's new forces such as Weilai, Ideal, and Xiaopeng are all developing to the high-end, and their models are expensive. And just right, the starting price of Maserati Grecale may be around 500,000 yuan.
First of all, from the appearance point of view, the front face adopts the Maserati family design style, and the introduction of the eye is Maserati's iconic straight waterfall medium net and trident logo, coupled with relatively rounded headlights, the overall look is not bad, a bit of a reduced upgrade of levante flavor. If you are careful, if you are careful, you will be able to find that the shape of the taillights is a bit familiar, yes, the taillight shape of the Maserati Grecale is a tribute to the Maserati 3200 GT. In terms of body size, its length, width and height are 4846/1979/1670mm, and the wheelbase is 2901mm, which is much larger than Porsche's Macan.
In terms of interior, in fact, Maserati's interior style and color matching style have always been quite complained about, and are often said to be auto parts city style. However, it is not difficult to understand, after all, the current models are basically more than 5 years old, and the design is understandable. This time, the interior design of Maserati Grecale is still quite novel, using the design concept of "harmonious unity of opposites and balances", and a large number of environmentally friendly recycled nylons are selected in terms of materials. At the same time, the traditional pointer clock has been canceled and has become a more technological LCD screen, in addition to daily display time, you can also switch to the compass, G-value display, timer, etc., and even voice interaction. It is also reported that Maserati will also cooperate with Tencent to develop a car machine system.
In terms of power, the Maserati Grecale will offer different power options according to different models and so on. For example, the GT version and the Modena version are equipped with a 2.0T engine and a 48V light hybrid system, of which the GT version has a maximum power of 300 horsepower, the Modena version has a maximum power of 330 horsepower, and the Trofeo version will be equipped with a 3.0T V6 engine with a maximum power of 530 horsepower, a maximum speed of 285 km /h, and a 100 km/h acceleration of only 3.8 seconds.
It is not difficult to see that the launch of the Maserati Grecale is directed at the Porsche Macan. Based on Maserati's previous pricing strategy, we speculate that the expected price of the new Maserati Grecale may be similar to the Porsche Macan. Then, at that time, not only porsche Macan will accept the challenge, I am afraid that even the BBA will not be spared. Coupled with the Maserati Grecale will also launch a pure electric version of the model in the future, Weilai, Ideal, etc., are you ready for a new storm?
