SUV, for some supercar brands or ultra-luxury brands, is like a "forbidden fruit". Back to reality, they have successively built SUVs and discovered the law of true incense that exists in the human world.
Not to mention that the birth of cayenne saved the Porsche brand, look at Bentley, Rolls-Royce, Aston Martin, and even Ferrari also went to the sea to start building SUVs! Maserati, whose stores are often next to Ferrari, already had Levante, and now they have launched an SUV model , the Grecale.
【GT Version】
On April 21, Maserati's new mid-size SUV, the Grecale, was officially launched in the Chinese market, with a total of five models equipped with 2.0T and 3.0T engines, priced at 638,880-1,063,800 yuan, which will be delivered to users in the second half of this year.
Maserati Grecale offers three different exterior styles, in order of positioning, namely Trofeo, Modena, and GT. There are subtle differences in appearance between different versions, especially the rims, each version has its own rim style.
【Modena Version】
On the whole, Maserati Grecale actually has a strong family feature, or the design of the net is very Maserati, and the classic trident logo sits in it. Compared with the "big mouth" of his eldest brother Levante, Grecale's performance in momentum is slightly weaker, and he is more affinity. Of course, with the blessing of exaggerated front and rear surrounds, exhaust gases on both sides, diffusers, etc., Grecale is obviously not a good character.
With the launch of the new car, Maserati simultaneously launched prima Serie's first limited edition. From the name, it can be seen that it is based on the GT version, Trofeo version of the prima Serie first edition logo, which is based on the GT version and the Trofeo version, and the headrest with stitching process. The GT PrimaSerie debut limited edition is available in two exterior colors, with a bright blank with red brake calipers and a deep sea blue with a yellow brake caliper.
Entering the car, the huge paddle shifter is quite eye-catching, no doubt telling the driver the true color of his performance. Four-way adjustment of the electric steering wheel is optional, while primaSerie's first limited edition does not support optional installation, only manual. In addition, Grecale's eye-catching place is the full LCD meter, as well as two connecting screens on the center console, the upper and lower screen sizes are 12.3 inches and 8.8 inches respectively. Many of the functions of the car are integrated with this, so that the traditional physical buttons are basically omitted. In addition, the new car uses push-button electronic shifting, hidden in the middle of the two screens in the central control.
In terms of power, the Grecale GT version and modena version are equipped with 2.0T low-power engines and high-power engines, equipped with a 48V light hybrid system, the former with a maximum power of 300Ps, the latter with 330Ps, and the maximum torque is 450N·m, but the maximum torque speed range is slightly different.
The Grecale Trofeo version is equipped with a 3.0T V6 engine with Poseidon technology, with a maximum power of 530Ps, a maximum torque of 620 N·m, and a zero hundred acceleration time of 3.8 seconds. Whether it is the power of the 2.0T or 3.0T V6, it is better than the Porsche Macan. In terms of transmission system, all models of the new car are equipped with an 8-speed automatic transmission and a timely four-wheel drive system.

In addition to the fuel version, the follow-up Maserati will also launch a pure electric version of the Grecale, which is expected to meet you in a year's time.
SUV is undoubtedly a cash cow for independent car brands, and in some supercar, super luxury brands, many times the same reason. How much can Maserati's launch of Grecale boost sales? Leave aside a look
