Maserati presented the Grecale, the new SUV and the embodiment of the concept of “The Everyday Exceptional”. Naming its cars after the most famous winds of the world is a tradition for the brand. It all began in 1963 with the legendary Mistral. Ghibli, Bora, Merak and Khamsin would follow in turn. In 2016, the Levante, the first SUV in the Trident brand’s history. Once again, the new model bears the name of a wind. The Gregale (Grecale in Italian) is a north-easterly Mediterranean wind, and now also an SUV expected to play a major role in the Maserati range. Passion, innovation, versatility and style are the ingredients of the Maserati Grecale, soon to be launched with a wide range of powertrains: conventional internal combustion engine, Mild Hybrid and, in the future, Full-Electric.
The new Maserati is the everyday exceptional: the thrill of luxury and pure innovation, in perfect balance. A car with great performance, unique, stylish lines and character, and the highest quality in its interiors, courtesy of the refinement of the materials selected for its finishes. Not to mention the high technical specifications and the 360° sound experience, taking as a starting point the typical Maserati roar of the engine, to the immersive acoustic experience provided by Sonus faber Premium (standard) and High Premium (optional) sound system. Grecale is also an everyday car, an SUV in which to take your children to school or to commute to work and face up to the everyday without compromise.
The new SUV embodies Maserati’s all-Italian audacity in making luxury and exceptional performance part of the daily routine. The Grecale is an SUV that stands out in terms of spaciousness and comfort, boasting an impressive set of best-in-class features. It is best-in-class in terms of interior space, driveability, handling, acceleration (0-100 km/h in 3.8 seconds / 0-60 mph in 3.6 seconds- on the Trofeo), top speed (285 km/h 177 mph – again on the Trofeo), sound quality, extensive use of materials such as wood, carbon fiber and leather, and excellent standard specifications.The Grecale is available in three versions:
GT, powered by a four-cylinder mild hybrid engine capable of delivering 296 hp;
Modena, with a four-cylinder mild hybrid 325-hp engine; and
Trofeo, powered by a high-performance 523-hp V6 based on the MC20 Nettuno engine.
The Maserati Grecale range will be completed with the debut of the Full-Electric version, using 400V technology. Developed by the Maserati Innovation Lab in Modena, the new Grecale is produced at the Cassino plant in Italy and is destined to play a leading role for Maserati. An SUV with generous dimensions:
the GT is 4,846 mm long (191 inches)
with a wheelbase of 2,901 mm (114 inches)
