Modena Motorsports, the official Maserati importer and dealer in the Philippines, has announced the arrival of the Maserati Grecale. The all-new model slots under the Levante in the Italian brand’s range, offering luxury car buyers a smaller option.
The Maserati Grecale represents the perfect amalgamation of versatility, elegance, performance, and innovation, delivering optimal levels of comfort, safety, and driving pleasure. Developed at the state-of-the-art Maserati Innovation Lab in Modena and produced at the Cassino plant, the Grecale showcases the brand’s commitment to excellence and uncompromising standards.
One of the standout features of the Grecale is its range of engine options. Customers can choose from conventional internal combustion engines and hybrid powertrains for now. However, Maserati announces that it also plans to bring in the all-electric Folgore variant in the near future – possibly by the end of the year.
At the launch, two versions were unveiled: the GT, powered by a four-cylinder mild hybrid engine capable of producing 300 horsepower, and the formidable Trofeo, equipped with a high-performance 3.0-liter 530-horsepower petrol V6 based on the renowned Nettuno engine from the MC20.
Additionally, a four-cylinder 330-horsepower mild hybrid engine variant, named Modena, will be available for indent ordering.
To add exclusivity to the range, the Grecale PrimaSerie Launch Edition was also introduced as a limited-edition model, boasting unique content and design elements.
Takayuki Kimura, Head of Maserati Asia Pacific, expressed his enthusiasm, stating, “Grecale embodies a perfect blend of sportiness and sophistication. As the inaugural offering for a new segment of Maserati, we are very excited to bring Grecale to the Philippines to turn everyday journeys into extraordinary driving experiences.”
Sam Versoza, President of Modena Motorsports, Inc., shared his excitement about introducing Grecale to the local market, saying, “As a product of tradition, innovation, and concrete vision, Grecale ushers in a luxurious new standard for its class. We at Modena Motorsports, Inc. are beyond elated to deliver Grecale to our shores, and with it, a new driving experience that takes the elegance, style, and performance of a Maserati to a bold, new direction.”
The Maserati Grecale stands out for its spaciousness, comfort, and meticulous craftsmanship. Offering best-in-class levels of interior space, driveability, handling, acceleration, and top speed, the Grecale delivers a thrilling driving experience. The utilization of fine materials such as wood, carbon fiber, and leather further enhances the luxurious atmosphere within the cabin.
The striking design of the Grecale embodies Maserati’s new visual symbol, which distinguishes each new model since the MC20. With a low and imposing grille, fluid body lines, and carbon fiber accents, the Grecale exudes a perfect balance of purity and technical sophistication. The rear comes with boomerang taillights inspired by the iconic Giugiaro 3200 GT, accentuating the coupe-like appearance of the SUV.
Inside the cabin, the Grecale showcases cutting-edge technology and luxurious amenities. The traditional Maserati clockface, now digital, serves as an in-car concierge, controlled by voice commands. Touch-based controls and three displays, including a large 12.3-inch central screen, ensure a seamless and aesthetically clean user experience. The Sonus faber 3D sound system, offering an immersive audio experience, and the Maserati roar elevate the in-car journey to unprecedented levels of enjoyment.
Every journey in the Grecale becomes an adventure, thanks to the remarkable handling provided by the new 100% Maserati Vehicle Dynamic Control Module (VDCM) system. The Grecale has different drove modes, including Comfort, GT, Sport, Off-Road, and Corsa, which is exclusive to the performance Trofeo trim.
With its arrival in the Philippines, the Maserati Grecale is set to captivate luxury car enthusiasts, offering a fusion of sophistication, performance, and exhilarating driving experiences. Modena Motorsports didn’t disclose the pricing of the Grecale at launch.
