After the MC20, Maserati has given us a new face – the Grecale. There is no doubt that the arrival of new cars has once again lowered the entry threshold of the brand, giving more consumers the opportunity to feel the charm of the "Poseidon Trident". As an ultra-luxury brand, Maserati's goal of launching the entry-level SUV is very clear, that is, to divide the market of Porsche Macan. So whether it can get its wish, let's find out through comparison.
Note: Maserati Grecale's manufacturer guidance price is 638,880-106.38 million, and from this price range, it can be felt that the brand wants to make it a new sales pillar, so the most entry-level Gregale GT should be its main sales version. Therefore, the comparison of this article will mainly focus on the Gregale GT and the Porsche Macan with an optional configuration of about 80,000 (ensuring that the two cars are priced at similar prices).
The appearance of the "Poseidon" is more fierce
Summary: In terms of appearance, the Maserati Grecale GT is more wild than the Macan, suitable for male consumers who pursue sports and performance. The Porsche Macan's rounded and full design is more in line with the female aesthetic, which is why the proportion of female Owners of the Macan can reach 65%. In terms of appearance configuration, the Grecalle GT in the original factory state has more keyless entry and bilateral four-out exhaust, but The Macan can be compensated by "the day after tomorrow", and the price is not expensive.
The interior of the two cars has its own characteristics
Italians seem to have a natural dislike for "rough houses", so Maserati naturally does not follow the same optional sales strategy as Porsche. In the initial state, the Glee GT and Macan do not need to use their brains to know that the former is higher. But we still have to compare the two in order to see where the difference is and analyze how much money the Macan needs to choose to achieve the same level as the current interior configuration of the Gregare GT.
Summary: The comparison between the Grecale GT and the Macan interior dimensions seems to be one-sided, but when the latter really adds the 81200 yuan option (black/Bordeaux red leather component + driving comfort component upgrade), you will find that the two are back on the same level in terms of interior materials and functional configuration. Even in some configurations, Macan is more sincere, such as the PC5 Driving Comfort Component Upgrade includes a panoramic sunroof, while the Gregare GT can only be owned for an expensive 20,000 yuan alone.
The Grecale GT is more powerful
The Grecale GT is positioned as an ultra-luxury sports SUV, and power is naturally the focus of everyone's attention. The powertrain composed of 2.0T engine + 48V light mix system is not enough to make people passionate, but the radical adjustment can still reflect the pursuit of sports in the vehicle. Let's take a look at how the Gregate GT and Macan perform in terms of space, power, and so on.
Editor's comments: The former supercar queen Maserati was arrogant and arrogant, but now the brand tone is comparable to Porsche, and the entry threshold is reduced to 638,800 yuan because of the launch of the Glee GT model. Therefore, in the brand halo dimension, the two cars can be regarded as a draw, and the performance of the interior configuration of the car at similar prices is also comparable. As for other aspects, the Maserati Grecalle GT has superior body size, a stronger sense of technology in the interior, and the power parameters are better than the Macan. However, the Germans will not control the quality as casually as the Italians, and the optional sales strategy can maximize the individual needs of consumers, which is unmatched by Maserati. Finally, if you have $700,000 in hand, how will you choose between the two cars?
