2022 Maserati Grecale world premiere

Maserati has unveiled its second crossover that will find its place below the Levante model. It is a Maserati Grecale that was supposed to be unveiled last year but for well-known reasons caused by a lack of microchips the premiere has been postponed to March 22nd.

The company has high expectations from the new Grecale, and previously published teasers have shown the design of the car. The aggressive sporty look is adorned with a standard front grille with the Maserati logo, larger air intakes, headlights reminiscent of a Ford Puma, while the shape of the rear with four exhaust pipes is reminiscent of a larger Levante SUV. There is more chrome at the back, including a Maserati badge and a strip between the two brake lights.

Inside, the seats are upholstered in black leather with light green stitching. There are also four screens, and in addition to the digital cluster in front of the driver and the two screens on the center console, the watch is also a screen. The cluster and upper touch screen are 12.3-inch panels, while the lower one is actually an 8.8-inch panel that has replaced the functions of a number of buttons. Optionally, it will be possible to get a HUD display.

Maserati is not ready to give up the internal combustion engine. That’s why there are three petrol engines on offer: two 2.0 L four-cylinder mid-hybrids with 300 hp and 330 hp, which is 50 hp more than the competitor Alfa Romeo Stelvio Veloce, 30 hp less than the BMW X4 M40i and 50 hp less than the Porsche Macan S.

The Maserati Grecale is powered by a 3.0 L twin-turbo V6 engine, and the most powerful version, the Trofeo, has 530hp (390 kW) and 457 lb-ft (620 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to all wheels via an 8-speed automatic transmission. According to Maserati, it reaches 60 in 3.6 seconds with a top speed of 177 mph (285 km / h). It is mounted on 19-inch wheels, and 20- and 21-inch sets are available at an additional cost.

Maserati also introduced an electric version of Grecale called Folgore. The company did not reveal the range of the vehicle, but said it would be equipped with a 105 kWh battery. That should be enough for 350 miles on a full charge, which is 30 miles more than the Tesla Model Y Performance.

When it comes to the powertrain, Maserati has not revealed power and acceleration, but they say it will have 800 Nm of torque, which is 100 Nm more than the Tesla Model Y Performance.
