Maserati Grecale: generations, engines and what to know when buying used
The Maserati Grecale is a mid-size premium SUV launched at the end of 2021 and on sale from 2022. In this article, we look at the generations, engines and what to check if you're after a used Grecale.
Grecale in brief
The Grecale is Maserati's more compact SUV, slotting below the larger Levante. It's built in Italy, at the Cassino plant, and its underpinnings are based on the Giorgio platform, which is also used by Alfa Romeo.
The model is offered with petrol engines and an electric version. It's praised for its distinctive Italian design, sporty driving and luxurious interior. There aren't many used Grecales around yet, as the car is still quite new.
Generations and which to choose
The main generations are the GT, Modena and Trofeo, plus the electric Folgore. The GT is the base model, the Modena is better equipped and more powerful, while the Trofeo is the most sporty version with a V6 engine.
For most buyers, the GT or Modena will suffice – they're quick enough for daily driving and cost less. Choose the Trofeo if maximum performance is key.
Engines and gearboxes
The GT has a 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine with a mild hybrid (around 300hp), the Modena a more powerful version of the same engine (around 330hp), and the Trofeo a 3.0-litre V6 (around 530hp).
The gearbox is an eight-speed automatic, with all-wheel drive. The Folgore is the electric version.
What to check when buying a used Grecale
As the model is new, the most important thing is a full service history with the official dealer and whether all manufacturer recalls and software updates have been carried out. Ask for the service book or digital records.
Check that all electronic systems, screens, and auxiliary systems are working, inspect the body and wheels for damage. In the case of electric versions, ask for a battery condition report.
