In terms of appearance, the new car adopts a new design style, of which the front face, the iconic straight waterfall grille is not absent, but the headlight group and the heat dissipation ports on both sides have been designed in a new style, which is much weaker in terms of visual aggression than other models of the brand. In addition, the GT version, Modena and Trofeo versions of the new car will adopt different design styles in terms of exterior design. Taking the GT model as an example, the car mainly adopts a warm color design, and the car will provide dark brown, red black, red brown and other colors.
On the Modena version, the whole is not much different, mainly using blackened door and window trim, while 21-inch wheels can be optionally installed.

On the Trofeo edition, a more sporty look kit was integrated, with a penetrating design under the front bumper and a honeycomb grille. In terms of the tail, it is equipped with a large-size carbon fiber wake diffuser, with a bilateral double exhaust layout, which brings a stronger fighting atmosphere to the new car.
In terms of interior, the new car can be said to have brought a subversive design, the 12.3-inch central control screen is connected to the 8.8-inch screen below, with the button shift between the two screens, and the full LCD dashboard, which as a whole makes the car have a strong scientific and technological atmosphere, which is also loved by many young users.

The editor said: With the arrival of the new car, in addition to enriching Maserati's own product line, Porsche Macan has finally ushered in a real opponent, at present, from the price point of view, the new car is nearly 100,000 more expensive than the Macan starting price, but its power and configuration are more outstanding and rich than the Macan, and the Porsche option will easily exceed this difference.
Looking back at the arrival of Maserati's first SUV model, levante, the entry price of less than 1 million directly doubled the sales of the entire brand, and for a time directly suppressed the limelight of Cayenne. Nowadays, the arrival of the new car will repeat this scene again, only this time the model is placed on a more entry-level model, and the price of 700,000 can become a Maserati owner, which I think will make many users move, so can the new car become a hit again, so that the brand sales show a straight rise? In this confrontation with porsche Macan, who is the winner?
