Grecale! Maserati's new SUV has finally arrived with hot V6 and hybrid power, with a Folgore electric variant coming in 2023
► Two hybrids and a V6 on sale this year, from around £60kMaserati is making the most serious attempt ever in its 108-year history to reach the mainstream with its new SUV, the Grecale. The order books open in June, with prices expected to start at around £60,000, putting it up against higher-spec versions of the Porsche Macan, BMW X3 and X4, Range Rover Velar and other premium performance crossovers.
Maserati says the Grecale is the most spacious and most comfortable car in its class, with plenty of room in the back. Outside, the rear lights are just about boomerang-shaped enough to echo the LED tail lights of the late-'90s 3200 GT. But, in a very modern way, there are no mechanical door handles, inside or out.
It gets an extra drive mode, Corsa – making the controls more responsive, reducing traction control and bringing launch control – as well as the Comfort, GT, Sport and Off-Road modes they all have. The GT comes with 19-inch wheels, while the Modena is on 20s and the Trofeo on 21s. The Modena and Trofeo have a wider rear wheel track, by 34mm.No, and deliberately so. Maserati only makes sense as a premium brand, building cars that are still relatively rare – although not as rare as they sometimes have been in the past, when sales have dwindled to a financially unsustainable level.
