Maserati Grecale (SUV)

The Maserati Grecale Folgore Will Make Over 500 HP And Get Over 300 Miles Of Range: Report

The all-electric SUV will go up against the Porsche Macan EV, among others.

Official specifications for the Maserati Grecale Folgore — an all-electric SUV that is due some time next year — haven’t been released, but that doesn’t mean they don’t exist, or at least, you know, targets. Those numbers reportedly are “over 500" for horsepower and “over 300" for range.

That’s according to Autoblog, which spoke to Maserati people, who said that the Grecale Folgore will have the same platform as the gas Grecale, and that it will have two electric motors and all-wheel drive. It will also have a 105-kilowatt-hour battery, which we already knew. The headline is the horsepower and range numbers though, which sound like what you can more or less expect from the upcoming Macan EV.

“We were able to install the battery pack in the lower part of the car while keeping the Giorgio platform, which is a very versatile architecture that can be multi-energy,” [Federico De Medio, Maserati’s head of vehicle validation] said. “I’ve heard people say, ‘It can’t underpin an EV!’ Well, you can clearly see that it can.”

Maserati will rely on lightweight materials, like aluminum and carbon fiber, to partially offset the weight of the battery pack. It will give the Grecale a 400-volt electrical system, a solution chosen for its flexibility, and the motors that will power the SUV will not be the same units fitted to the Gran Turismo.

Maserati Grecale GT 2022 review

Should I buy one?

If you’re on the lookout for an upmarket SUV that is family-friendly, has a touch of style and can get a wriggle-on when you’re in a hurry, then the Grecale is not without appeal. Then there’s the mystique of the Maserati badge, which certainly holds some allure alongside the usual premium SUV suspects.

Prices have been announced, but expect this entry-level GT to be pitched at about £60,000, which is a lot for such a big machine powered by a punchy but fairly prosaic four-cylinder engine. It’s certainly a large chunk of change for a car that’s dynamically still a few steps behind that continued class benchmark, the Macan. It’s frustrating, because with a little more development and touch more fine-tuning (not to mention some suitable tyres), the Maserati could be a contender.

At last, the perfect Grecale? Maserati fills the Macan gap with a new V6 - and it's good | Autocar

New Modena V6 version adds GT appeal to an overlooked sports SUV, but is it worth £10k more than a BMW X3 M50?

Maserati Grecale Modena review: an effective crossover, just not an inspiring one Reviews 2023 | Top Gear

Haven't we seen the Maserati Grecale before? Not this one. We've driven the apex-potent 530bhp V6 Grecale Trofeo, and alongside it the base-model Grecale GT. Today we're in the middle, what's likely to be Britain's best-selling version, called the Grecale Modena. Although you must allow that...

Barbie's Extremely Pink 530-HP Maserati Greciale Trofeo Can Be Yours

Neiman Marcus will sell you this one-of-one Barbie-themed Maserati for $330,000 as part of the luxury retailer's Fantasy Gifts holiday catalog.

Barbie has been, and still is, a busy woman. She’s spent the last 63 years working in over 200 careers, spanning from modeling and photography to astronaut and . And along that journey, she’s been the proud owner of many automobiles. But it’s time for a new badge to grace the iconic Barbie Garage,with this Neiman Marcus special edition 2022 Barbie Maserati Grecale.

Okay, so this Grecale is not for Barbie, but it can be for one particularly dedicated Barbie fan. The utility vehicle was customized by Fuoriserie, Maserati’s in-house department in charge of making bespoke versions of Maserati models.

The 2023 Barbie Maserati Grecale Trofeo wears Barbie’s signature pink on the exterior, finished with an iridescent top coat — reminiscent of the rainbow iridescent pop in Barbie’s ‘90s outfits. Acid-yellow accents in the grille and side vents are a small nod to Maserati’s racing heritage. With such a noticeable car, you’ll want your privacy, so heavy tint is paired with blacked-out trim, grille and wheels. Don’t forget the Barbie signature and initial. The theme continues to the interior, with black leather finished with Barbie-pink accent stitching and the Barbie “B” monogram in the headrest.

This Barbie Maserati Grecale mashup is marvellous

Mattel teams up with Maserati for a very conspicuous modified SUV

As these pictures make abundantly clear, the result of mixing Mattel and Maserati is an extraordinarily pink SUV called – shockingly enough – the Barbie Maserati Grecale. Quite something, isn't it?

And if there were a life-sized Barbie, she’d be happy to note that her customised Maser started off as a Grecale Trofeo, which means a 523bhp version of the Nettuno V6 that also powers the MC20 supercar and new GranTurismo.

That in turn means a nought to 60 sprint in less than four seconds should she put the hammer down, and should she leave the hammer down the Mattel Maserati would motor on beyond the far side of 170mph.

Impressive though that is, we reckon Barbie might be less enamoured that it’s a limited run of just two cars. The first, introduced at upmarket department store Neiman Marcus, will apparently be sold off for charity. Meanwhile the second is being kept under wraps until next year.

Grecale quietly joins Maserati’s local lineup – here is what is on offer

The Grecale has been added to the Maserati configurator for local buyers who will have a choice between three models of the latest SUV to bear the Trident of Neptune. Here is what is on offer.

Appealing to the needs of the audience is what performance SUVs are all about. The lucrative segment has produced some astounding models from automakers like Porsche with the Cayenne Turbo GT, Ferrari and their latest Purosangue and Aston Martin with their powerhouse DBX 707. Further down the pecking order are the likes of Maserati, the Italian brand that has a history as rich as the origins of the logo fashioned onto the grilles of their models.

With the Levante marking its entry into the SUV segment, the Italian automaker has given its hand at a more compact and accessible model bearing the name Grecale. Bringing the Maserati nameplate into accessibility for aspirational buyers, the new model will usher in a new era for the automaker as it has quietly joined the local lineup for Maserati ahead of its official birth into our market.

Available in three trims, the Grecale will be pitted directly against Porsches compact SUV offering; the Macan. Powering the entry-level GT is a 2,0-litre four-cylinder turbo-petrol motor with mild hybrid technology rated at 223 kW which means it can achieve a 100 km/h sprint in 5,6 seconds before going onto a top speed of 240 km/h.

Maserati Grecale (2023) Price For SA Confirmed

From launch, the all-wheel-drive Maserati Grecale will be offered in 3 flavours including the GT, Modena and range-topping Trofeo.

The entry-level Grecale GT is fitted with a 4-cylinder, 2.0-litre turbopetrol engine with mild-hybrid technology and offers outputs of 224 kW and 450 Nm of torque. The Modena uses the same powerplant but power is ramped up to 246 kW while retaining its 450 Nm torque figure. Both derivatives use an 8-speed automatic transmission and Maserati claims a 5.6 second sprint time for the GT while the Modena is capable of 5.3 seconds to 100 kph.

Zero to 100 kph is pegged at 3.8 seconds using a ZF 8-speed automatic transmission and an electronic rear limited-slip differential. Top speed is rated at 285 kph.

But that’s not all, Maserati will also introduce an all-electric Grecale Folgore with 400V technology at a later stage.

New 2022 Maserati Grecale line-up topped by £95,590 V6 Trofeo

Maserati is now taking orders for its second SUV, which features a range-topping V6 engine and a pair of mild hybrids

Maserati has opened order books for its flagship Grecale SUV, with prices starting from £58,500 and the first deliveries set to begin from early next year.

Primed to be the firm's most strategically important and potentially best-selling model in decades, the Grecale will launch with a choice of three specifications and power levels.

Entry-level Grecale GT models pack 296bhp and all-wheel drive, with power sourced from a 2.0-litre hybrid powertrain.

Standard equipment includes LED headlights, a reversing camera, active cruise control and parking sensors. All cars are also fitted with a 12.3in touchscreen and an 8.8in digital driver's display.

Mid-range Modena cars feature a slight power boost, to 325bhp, and command a £64,500 price.

Range-topping Trofeo models swap out the hybrid powertrain for a more powerful 3.0-litre V6, which produces 525bhp for a 0-62mph sprint of 3.8sec and a top speed of 177mph.

The new Grecale SUV provides the Italian firm with a long-awaited rival to the Porsche Macan and will play a fundamental role in its rapid transition to electrification.

All-electric SUV Maserati Grecale Folgore debuts at Shanghai Auto Show

After the Maserati GranTurismo Folgore became the first all-electric Maserati (although the Grecale was announced earlier) the company chose Shanghai Auto Show for the premiere of its first electric SUV. Grecale Folgore is finally here so let's find out what it's about.

Let’s get the important numbers out of the way first - the total power output of 410kW (550hp) and 820Nm of torque are enough to catapult this SUV from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.1 seconds. Top speed is limited to 220 km/h (137 mph) and thanks to the 105kWh battery pack, the WLTP-certified range is 500km (311mi).

So the new Maserati Grecale Folgore ticks a lot of boxes when it comes to performance. The interior is true Maserati - sumptuous materials, intricate details, a true experience that not many manufacturers out there can achieve. There are no huge screens shouting in your face - yes, there are three screens in total but completely functional and never distracting from what’s happening around you.

Maserati Grecale 2023 UK first drive

It may be tall, its steering doesn’t tell you much and its brake pedal is a little spongy but, being front-engined, being predominantly rear-driven and using a slippy diff, it has a pleasing balance.It’s a good car. I have a mate who took a Ghibli as a company car because he’d had his fill of BMWs and Audis, even though he knew it would be worse. You don’t have to pick a Grecale just to make a change.

Maserati Grecale review

WHAT'S THE VERDICT?

“Dynamically, it’s better than it needs to be – it can take the fight to the Porsche Macan for both comfort and engagement”

The Grecale doesn’t have the heart and soul of a Maserati. But that’s fine. Among the current line-up only the MC20 and new Gran Turismo uphold historic honour. This is the bread and butter Maserati, the one that needs to take the fabled trident and sell it to a new audience. Dynamically, it’s probably better than it needs to be – it can take the fight to the Porsche Macan for both comfort and engagement. On first appraisal, the Trofeo has much more Maserati character, but the four-cylinder cars are likely to be the big global sellers, and that’s a pretty flat engine, one that lacks the quirk and nuance that ought to mark out a Maserati.

But the fact remains that a Maserati has always been something quietly different, and the Grecale hits most of the technical ambition without particularly grabbing the emotional. The Trofeo is much more alive – no great surprise – but you’d have to be committed to difference (and extra cost) to want one over something like the Alfa Romeo Stelvio QV or Porsche’s Macan Turbo.

But it is reasonably well executed throughout. The cabin has a bit of charm and difference, it’s not another cookie-cutter cockpit from yet another German brand. It’s practical enough and logical enough to use because it doesn’t depend too heavily on touchscreens. It’s the right car for Maserati as a business, and if its success means we get more of the cars we can be passionate about, that’s fine with us.
