MASERATI Australia has priced its forthcoming Grecale mid-sized SUV this week amid a model-wide pricing overhaul for the MY23 range.
The Grecale (pictured) will begin locally from $109,500 plus on-road costs for the entry-spec GT variant rising to $128,000 plus ORCs for the mid-tier Modena and $165,000 plus ORCs for the flagship Trofeo.
By way of contrast, the price list places the starting point of Grecale range at a $20,200 premium over the entry-level Macan; the top-spec Trofeo priced at $27,700 more than the comparable German rival.
Maserati said the Grecale will arrive in local showrooms in the first quarter of next year (2023).
“The upcoming Grecale lives and breathes the Unique by Design ethos that is found in every Maserati,” said Maserati Australia & New Zealand general manager, Grant Barling.
“Importanly, it also gives Maserati presence in one of the most important segments in the Australian market.
“With Grecale’s stunning looks, powerful drivelines, high levels of safety and technology, and unmatched levels of personalisation through the Fuoriserie program, we are confident the Grecale will play a significant role in the growth of Maserati.”
The Grecale GT is powered by a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine with 48v mild hybrid technology and delivers 221kW/450. Modena variants feature an identical powertrain but tuned to deliver 242kW/450Nm.
The top of the range Trofeo meanwhile features Maserati’s Nettuno V6 engine – also found in the MC20 super sportscar – delivering 390kW/620Nm.
Standard equipment on the Grecale includes a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and separate 12.3-inch infotainment display, Sonus Faber premium audio system, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity and what Maserati says is a full suite of active and passive safety features including adaptive cruise control with Stop & Go, active lane management with blind spot and lane keeping assistance, rear cross path alert and drowsy driver detection.
The Grecale is further available with a range of option packs Maserati say allow a pre-set level of personalisation across all three variants. The packs include Comfort, Cold Weather, Handling, Tech Assistance and Nerissimo bundles.
Elsewhere, Maserati say it has simplified its range for 2023 with a 430hp (320kW) V6 engine superseding the 350hp (261kW) unit offered in Ghibli and Levante Modena variants, and a consolidation of exterior paints, wheels and trims across Levante, Ghibli and Quattroporte.
In addition, some previously optional equipment is now included as standard including an inductive phone charging pad and remote start function (on Ghibli and Quattroporte), and a 15-speaker Bowers & Wilkins surround sound system on all Trofeo variants of Ghibli, Levante and Quattroporte.
Pricing across the wider Maserati range increases by between $10 and $10,010 depending on model variant (see pricing below).
“The entire Maserati range is going from strength to strength and puts the brand in great shape for the next range of product that follows Grecale,” said Mr Barling.
