- All three ICE versions of the Maserati Grecale use the company’s twin-turbo V6.
- The upgraded Grecale Trofeo delivers 523 hp and 457 lb-ft of torque.
- Maserati is also retaining the all-electric Folgore version with 542 hp.
There is no shortage of options in the world of stylish and sporty European SUVs, and with some important updates, the Maserati Grecale might just sway away some buyers from other brands.
Four distinct versions of the Grecale will be available for 2027. All three petrol versions use the company’s 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged Nettuno V6, albeit in different states of tune. The base version, known simply as the Grecale V6, delivers 385 hp at 6,500 rpm and 369 lb-ft (500 Nm) of torque between 2,000 and 4,000 rpm. It’s good for 0-60 mph (96 km/h) in 5 seconds and a 160 mph (260 km/h) top speed.

Sitting above this version is the Grecale Modena V6. It has all of the same specifications and performance numbers, but has been designed to be slightly more dynamic. No doubt the most exciting model in the range is the Grecale Trofeo, delivering 523 hp at 6,500 rpm and 457 lb-ft (620 Nm). It can reach 60 mph in 3.6 seconds and accelerate through to 177 mph (285 km/h). All V6-powered models use an eight-speed automatic transmission.
Electric Power For The Eco-Conscious
The all-electric Maserati Grecale Folgore is sticking around for 2027. It uses a 105 kWh battery pack and a 400-volt electric architecture, alongside a pair of electric motors. It’s rated at 542 hp and 604 lb-ft (819 Nm), can hit 60 mph (96 km/h) in 4 seconds, and has a 137 mph (220 km/h) top speed.
Maserati says the new Grecale takes design inspiration from the potent MCPURA supercar, sporting an all-new front bumper that looks especially purposeful in the Trofeo variant, thanks to a tweaked grille. Like before, the Folgore looks a little different, sporting a redesigned nose with an active front grille that can open or close depending on the thermal load.
Changes have also been made inside. For example, there’s a new multi-function steering wheel offered in leather and Alcantara configurations. Maserati has also updated its digital clock, using real metal and a glass bezel, making it look that much fancier.
Other important features of the Grecale include an available air suspension system on the Grecale V6 and Modena V6, providing five different ride heights depending on the driving mode. Maserati has also added a new driver- and drowsiness-detection system, removed many interior buttons, and launched two ADAS systems.
