Maserati Grecale SUV Launched in India; Price Starts at Rs 1.31 Crore

Maserati expands its SUV lineup in India with the launch of the Grecale. Positioned as a more compact alternative to the Levante, the Grecale is available in three trims: GT, Modena, and Trofeo. With a starting price of Rs 1.31 crore (ex-showroom), it directly competes with the Porsche Macan. While sharing a familial resemblance with the Levante, the Grecale boasts distinct styling cues, including a unique grille, headlights, and a redesigned Maserati trident logo on the C-pillar. The rear profile, though similar to the Levante, is scaled down for a sportier, more compact look, accentuated by slim taillights connected by a chrome strip. All Grecale variants come equipped with an 8-speed ZF automatic transmission and standard all-wheel drive.

Maserati Grecale: Interior

The Grecale's interior boasts a modern, driver-focused cockpit centred around three digital displays. A 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster provides essential driving information and can also display navigation maps, while a heads-up display projects key data directly into the driver's line of sight. The central 12.3-inch touchscreen controls the infotainment system, while an 8.8-inch lower display manages climate settings. Adding a unique touch, a circular display in the centre console can be configured to show a clock, compass, G-meter, or chronometer.

Maserati Grecale: Powertrain

The Grecale GT serves as the entry point to the range, powered by a mild-hybrid 300bhp, 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo-petrol engine. Mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission and standard all-wheel drive, it accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 5.6 seconds and reaches a top speed of 240km/h. A mechanical differential is fitted as standard.

Stepping up to the Modena, the same 2.0-litre engine produces 330bhp, shaving 0.3 seconds off the 0-100km/h time. While top speed remains unchanged, the Modena adds a limited-slip differential and adaptive suspension for enhanced handling.

At the pinnacle of the Grecale lineup is the Trofeo, equipped with a potent 530bhp, 3.0-litre V6 turbo-petrol engine. This powertrain catapults the SUV from 0-100km/h in just 3.8 seconds and on to a top speed of 285km/h. An electronically controlled limited-slip differential is standard on this flagship model.
