In the competition for luxury brands, Maserati has always been looking for market opportunities. For sport and luxury, Maserati has its own insistence and desire to stand out in the big era of industry transformation. If the MC20 has taken a key step, then this Grecate will take on the responsibility of greatly increasing the brand's market share.
Maserati Gregale Trofeo Edition
Named after the northeast wind across the Italian peninsula, Maserati Grecale was developed by the Maserati Innovation Lab in Modena, Italy, manufactured at Maserati's Cassino plant in Italy, and positioned as a luxury mid-size SUV. Based on Stellantis' back-drive Giorgio platform, Maserati Grecale's main competitors include Porsche Cayenne, Mercedes-Benz GLE and BMW X5.
Maserati Gregale Modena Edition
The Maserati Grecale range is available in traditional internal combustion engine and hybrid versions, and will also be available in an all-electric version with 400-volt technology, making it the first pure electric SUV in the history of the Maserati brand. Maserati's new Gregare is available in three versions: GT, Modena and Trofeo.
Maserati Gregale GT Edition
The Maserati Grecale GT edition is equipped with a four-cylinder light hybrid engine with a maximum output of 300 hp, the Modena version is equipped with a four-cylinder light hybrid engine with a maximum output of 330 hp, and the Trofeo version is equipped with a V6 engine with a maximum output of 530 hp. In addition to the regular three models, the Maserati Grecale also launched the primaSerie's first limited edition.
The new car features a low-hanging and huge size front grille, including a design for the headlights cluster, inspired by the MC20. The body lines are clean and simple, and the slightly slippery shape of the rear of the car emphasizes the sense of sport. The "Boomerang" shaped taillights are inspired by the Maserati Giugiaro 3200 GT sports car. Although the visual effect is quite compact, the overall size of the vehicle is not small.
Grecale has three debut colors: the GT version is vintage bronze, the Modena version is magic gray, and the Trofeo version is track yellow. The GT version is 4846 mm long, 1948 mm wide, 1670 mm high and has a wheelbase of 2901 mm. The official 0-100 km/h acceleration time Trofeo version is 3.8 seconds, and the extreme speed can reach 285 km/h.
The new Grecale is equipped with a classic digital dial with voice control. The vehicle is also equipped with a new 12.3-inch central control screen and an 8.8-inch comfort control panel with additional controls. Maserati provides rear seat touchscreens for rear occupants, creating a Maserati-style "living room effect".
The new car offers maserati intelligent assist (MIA) multimedia systems, the latest generation of infotainment systems and Maserati's new interconnection system, with 14 speakers as standard in the series, with a maximum choice of 21. Carefully designed, the new car has been equipped with convenience facilities such as wireless charging, storage boxes and cup holders in the center console position, improving practicality.
The new Grecale is equipped with a new Vehicle Dynamics Control System (VDCM) with five driving modes: COMFORT Comfort Mode, GT Mode, SPORT Sport Mode, OFF-ROAD Off-Road Mode, and CORSA Track Mode (available in the Trofeo version). Obviously, between comfort, practicality and athleticism, Maserati's new car has a balance.
The Maserati Grecale range is expected to start slightly less than the Cayenne, with the Gregare GT starting at around $64,995 and the first models available within the year. For domestic consumers interested in Maserati SUVs, it doesn't take long to wait.
