REPRESENTATIVE PHOTOJeffrey Paa Kwesi Opare / PexelsOur verdict
8.3 / 10The Grecale brings Maserati's drama to a more accessible size — sharp looks, a strong mild-hybrid four and, in Trofeo form, a genuine Nettuno V6. It sits between the Stelvio and Macan on price and pace, with the Folgore adding a credible EV option.
Who it's for — Buyers who want Italian luxury badge appeal and strong design without stepping up to a Levante.
PROS
- +Distinctive styling and strong road presence
- +Trofeo V6 is genuinely fast
- +Folgore EV option with 500 km WLTP range
CONS
- –Base GT feels expensive vs German fours
- –Rear space trails Q5 and GLC
- –Smaller dealer network than mainstream luxury
