Maserati Refreshes Grecale Lineup With Sharper Looks and a Four-Model Spread

Maserati isn't ready to let the Grecale fade into the background of a crowded luxury SUV segment. For 2027, the Trident brand is giving its compact crossover a visual refresh and a reshuffled powertrain lineup, hoping sharper styling and a broader range of options can win back buyers who've been drifting toward German rivals.

The revised fascias are the most obvious change. Maserati says the new front and rear ends borrow cues from the MCPURA supercar, with an all-new bumper that looks especially aggressive on the Trofeo thanks to a reworked grille. The idea is simple: give the Grecale a bit more visual punch to help offset sales that haven't exactly been setting the segment on fire.

Under the hood, buyers now get four distinct flavors of Grecale, three of which share the same 3.0-liter twin-turbo Nettuno V6 tuned to different outputs. The base Grecale V6 produces 385 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque, good for a 5.0-second sprint to 60 mph and a 160 mph top speed. Sitting just above it is the Modena V6, mechanically identical but dialed in for a slightly sportier driving character. At the top of the petrol range sits the Trofeo, cranking out 523 hp and 457 lb-ft, enough to hit 60 mph in just 3.6 seconds on its way to 177 mph. All three gas-powered variants route power through an eight-speed automatic.

The electric Folgore isn't going anywhere either. It continues with a 105 kWh battery and 400-volt architecture powering dual motors for a combined 542 hp and 604 lb-ft of torque. That setup is good for a 4.0-second run to 60 mph, though top speed tops out at a more modest 137 mph compared to its combustion siblings. Visually, the Folgore keeps its own identity too, with a distinct nose featuring an active grille that opens and closes based on cooling needs.

Inside, Maserati has swapped in a new multi-function steering wheel available in leather or Alcantara, along with a redesigned digital clock that now uses real metal and a glass bezel for a more upscale feel. The cabin has also been decluttered, with many physical buttons removed in favor of a cleaner layout, while a new driver monitoring and drowsiness detection system joins two additional ADAS suites for added peace of mind on longer drives.

Chassis tech gets some attention too, with an optional air suspension system offered on the V6 and Modena V6 models. It allows for five different ride heights depending on which driving mode is selected, giving those trims a bit more adjustability that was previously reserved for pricier competitors.

Whether these updates are enough to turn around the Grecale's sluggish sales remains to be seen, but Maserati is clearly betting that sharper design and a more varied lineup will make the SUV a tougher one to overlook.
