TECHNOLOGY & INFOTAINMENT
The 2023 Grecale features the latest Maserati Intelligent Assistant (MIA) multimedia system, operated through a 12.3-inch screen or voice control. This is the largest screen ever fitted in a Maserati and boasts a resolution of 15 million pixels in Ultra HD. An 8.8-inch screen has also been included in the setup and is used to access various additional vehicle controls. The MIA is powered by the Android Auto operating system, which we found to be impressive in terms of response speed and overall operating performance. The system also allows two smartphones to connect at once via Bluetooth and is compatible with both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
Noteworthy optional extras include a state-of-the-art head-up display, three-zone climate control and a Sonus Faber 3D sound system with up to 21 speakers.
The key, which is actually a very funky show-off wristband, is a standard feature with the Grecale, allowing for complete hands-free easy access and engine start.
POWER & PERFORMANCE
Our favourite moment of the day was firing up the Grecale's 2.0-litre turbocharged 48watt mild hybrid engine. Not only does the engine have the sweet Maserati sound to it, but the SUV’s potent powertrain can deliver up to 300hp (220kW) and 450Nm of torque. The Maserati Grecale also comes with two other engines, the Modena with 330hp and the Trofeo with the Maserati Nettuno engine, giving you 530hp.
The exceptional four-wheel SUV is equipped with various driving modes including Comfort, GT, Sport and Corsa for the Trofeo Nettuno engine. Its versatile and capable performance ensures it’s as comfortable on the road as it is in the rough.
We found the combination of these driving modes and the optional air suspension system to be sublime, and we thoroughly enjoyed our time navigating the roadways of the Kingdom. Furthermore, Maserati has included a full suite of safety and driver assistance systems, ensuring the well-being of all occupants.
Our Verdict
In the Grecale, Maserati has created an everyday SUV that is amongst the very best in the luxury segment. Not only does it exhibit a modern Italian design, it also delivers a capable performance and houses an impressive list of desirable technical features.
