For some ultra-luxury brands, the time period of the modification will be quite long, not to mention the listing of new models, which must be a sensational event around the world. But in April of this year, a new model of a super luxury brand was launched, but consumers did not pay much attention. To be honest, its pedigree is more luxurious than the BBA, also known as the "luxury car neptune" by Chinese consumers, and this new car is from Maserati's Gregare. The overall design of this new car has been announced, and the manufacturer's guidance price is 638,880 to 1,063,800 yuan, which is much higher than the starting price of 500,000 yuan speculated by many friends before, but it is much lower than the price of Maserati's new car.
To be honest, Maserati's brand influence is still very strong, but sales are falling like a roller coaster, with global sales of about 5,000 vehicles in 2021, which is very sluggish. So will the arrival of this new model make Maserati's sales improve?
From the appearance of the design, the front face shape of the Maserati Grecale is still particularly fierce, the oversized intake net is filled with a vertical grille, and the distance between the grilles is very spacious, creating a strong sporty performance for us. In addition, there is a Maserati logo covered in plexiglass, surrounded by movements full of dark elements, and the headlights are designed with eagle eyes, all of which feel very familiar to us.
From the side of the model, the body length of this Grecalle is not outstanding enough, so its positioning is only a medium-sized SUV. Red calipers, hidden door handles, and smooth body lines make the sportiness of this new car quite obvious, and the sense of fashion is also in line with the trend of the times.
The rear of the model is equipped with four exhaust pipes, which also symbolizes Maserati's powerful performance, the taillights present a slender and sharp design, and the layering of the internal light source is also very distinct. In the body data part, the Maserati Grecale has a length, width and height of 4846/1948/1670mm, and the wheelbase is 2901mm, do you know who the competitors of this model are?
The interior design of this Grecale is in the style of the Maserati family, which looks quite luxurious. The interior of the car is made of a large area of leather material, and the sense of grade is prominent. The car has three large screen designs, using an embedded style, full LCD driving computer screen, central control screen and air conditioning control screen integrated. In addition, the air conditioner outlet has also become a penetrating style, and the sense of layering is more prominent. In the central control part, it is also equipped with a brand quartz clock, which is the style of the Maserati family, reflecting a good sense of historical atmosphere.
The seats of the new car are all equipped with leather design, and the mid-height configuration is a sporty design. But there is a saying, this Maserati Grecale installation phenomenon is quite obvious, ventilation seats need to be installed, heating needs to be installed, rear seat heating function also needs to be installed, I don't know in the case of so many need to install, this Gregare can still compete with Porsche.
Finally, looking at the powertrain, this Maserati Grecale is equipped with two engines, 2.0T and 3.0T, matched with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Among them, the 2.0T is divided into high and low power versions, and the maximum power is 300 horsepower and 330 horsepower, respectively. The 3.0T engine uses a V6 engine, the maximum power of 530 horsepower, the performance is very good, but the price is also high, the 3.0T model starting price reached 999,800.
As for the chassis design of the new car, it adopts a timely four-wheel drive, and is equipped with air suspension and suspension soft and hard adjustment, and is also equipped with a rear axle limited slip differential in most configurations.
