On April 21, Maserati officially announced that Maserati Grecale was officially listed, priced at 638,800 yuan. The new car is positioned as a mid-size SUV, which may be directly benchmarked against the Porsche Macan. However, although the positioning is benchmarked, the starting price of the Gregare is still one notch higher than that of The Macan.
Xiao Lei learned that Maserati Grecale has a total of 5 versions in China, the price range is 638,800 yuan to 1,063,800 yuan, the most expensive two versions are GT PrimaSerie, Trofeo PrimaSeries the first limited edition, of which the domestic version of GT limited to 256 vehicles, Trofeo limited to 10 vehicles, with the distinguished PrimaSeries logo, as well as special interior colors.
From the appearance point of view, Grecale adopts Maserati's new family design language, and makes more improvements on this basis, but it can still clearly see the huge oval grille in the middle of the front of the car, as well as the conspicuous trident brand LOGO, on this appearance, Xiao Lei thinks it is a little more advanced than porsche Macan.
It is worth mentioning that different versions of the Gregare are also different in appearance, such as the chassis of the highest Trofeo version is lower, and it is also equipped with a more dynamic sports kit, highlighting stronger performance.
The size of the new car is not small, close to the full-size SUV, but consumers buy luxury cars mainly for the luxury driving experience, so the interior space of the Gregare is incomparable with most practical SUVs, and the small partners who require large space may be disappointed.
In terms of power, the Modena version and the GT version are equipped with a 2.0T engine + 48V light mix system, the maximum output power is 243kW, 221kW, and zero hundred acceleration is about 5 seconds. For users who only want to buy a luxury brand SUV and don't need too strong performance, such performance is completely sufficient. If it's a more demanding "advanced player", Grecale also has a Trofeo version, which is equipped with a 3.0T twin-turbo V6 engine that accelerates zero hundred in just 3.8 seconds.
The interior of the new car is also close to the mainstream model, and the full LCD dashboard, large-size central control screen and LCD control panel have not fallen. Of course, luxury cars will generally install a clock above the central control, and small partners can also identify other luxury models through this feature. Grecale's clock is a circular display that, in addition to time, can also display compasses, voice assistants, etc., and the sense of technology is full.
In Maserati's view, the Grecale is the cheapest model of the brand, but for most ordinary consumers, not to mention the Gregare, Porsche Macan will feel very expensive. Nowadays, traditional luxury brands have begun to make SUVs, after all, now rich consumers still like to buy models with strong attributes and larger sizes, and Maserati Grecale is just a product that caters to this part of the population.
