Another luxury brand has completely abandoned the oil car! The first tram is officially launched!
When it comes to excellent performance cars, it is natural to think of Maserati, with excellent sound, extremely fast acceleration, and a chic exterior design, which has always become a beautiful scenery on the road.
The new cars sold by the car company in China, or around the world, are all fuel versions, but the manufacturer announced that by 2028, all new cars under Maserati will become electric vehicles, and will abandon the development and sales of gasoline vehicles. This also shows that Maserati is not optimistic about the development of fuel vehicles. The answer can also be found from a set of data. In 2022, Maserati sold only 23,000 units worldwide, with about 5,000 units sold in China. Such a statistic is really not worth mentioning, which is the main reason why Maserati is so quickly making the transition to electric vehicles. The first all-electric model has already been launched, and this model is the Maserati Grega EV. This is Maserati's first all-electric SUV.
The guide price of this Maserati Grega EV is 898,800 yuan, and the exterior design is not much different from the fuel version, and it is still equipped with a hollow blackened grille design, and the overall shape is still mainly sporty. The puzzling design is that the new car is obviously an electric car, but it still adopts a bilateral dual exhaust pipe design, so many friends question whether this is a gasoline-to-electric model.
The interior design is almost identical to that of the petrol version. Symmetrical center console, suspended central control computer, full LCD driving computer, these configurations are relatively complete. According to the new car released so far, this Maserati Grega EV will be equipped with an intelligent driver assistance system.
The power system is driven by dual front and rear motors, with a pure electric range of up to 533km and a 100-hour range in 4.1 seconds. This acceleration is comparable to the acceleration of the 3.0T powertrain of the gasoline version.
However, it is a pity that the new car still comes from the 400V platform architecture, so the charging speed has not been significantly improved.
Judging from the overall design of this Maserati Grega EV, I think that when it is really sold in China, it is likely that it will not be able to avoid taking the old road of BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi electric vehicles, and there must be a large preferential margin. The reason is very simple, in the past, consumers bought Maserati because of its strong performance and excellent brand style. But now this Maserati Grega EV has become an electric car, and the pure electric range is only 533km, if you count the discount, then the problem of range anxiety is still more obvious. More critically, judging from the design of this new car, there is a suspicion of changing oil to electricity. In addition, this car brand was broken by micro-businesses in the past few years, so this type of electric car basically can't get rid of the fate of big discounts.
