Maserati Grecale Trofeo Review: Sell Your Macan?!

[@Berenvacht]

There is something about Maserati that is just worth the premium. It's the looks for sure, the quality of the leather, the sound, the rarity/oddity of it, the way people respond to it....and I can know because I own a 2009 Quattroporte 4.2. Eyewatering expensive to run and maintain, but every time I start it up or park it somewhere and look back I am just filled with affection for it. This Grecale is expensive, but hey, it's a Maserati!

[@Reko_89]

Beautifully said! On average, how much would you say a standard service costs? Landrover services including the tire rotations etc are $2400 which is mind blowing to me! Yes they go every 20,000 miles but still.

[@taladon6420]

It looks like a Ford Puma

[@Bestow3000]

That's the power of Maserati's marketing.

[@tannerghost16]

@@Bestow3000what marketing? Here in the US Alfa and Maserati pretty much don’t advertise online or on tv.

[@bartpeterleroy932]

Great review! The Modena my wife bought is full of character. I love the car. Much more original than a Macan. Everyday becomes just a touch more exceptional.

[@c190gtc]

I was also shocked by the Trofeo how raw of an engine it has

[@kierangan7944]

I see people holding onto cars they bought 3 4 5 years ago, because the cost of replacing them is so enormous these days. I accept the cost of production has risen, but not to the extent of these asking prices.

[@herme99]

£100k for a shopping car. It’s a mad world.

[@TonyNeri-s3e]

£ 100.000 for the top model, price wise is in line with the Mecan, most affordable model starting around £ 60.000

[@adrimute]

Well cars are expensive now even top spec Kia SUVs are around 60k plus now.

[@tannerghost16]

If you’re a high net worth individual, £100k pounds to you is probably £10k equivalent

[@chrisswizz]

On my second stelvio now, there pretty much the same car underneath, other than the air suspension. Wouldnt swap it for any of the competition.

[@murrayarmstrong499]

I bought a Stelvio 210 diesel in 2019 because I love driving to Italy and I need a proper boot for our labrador. I bought it to be my last car because I will never drive an EV and I am old. I love it and have no regrets.

[@Reko_89]

I absolutely love the Grecale! They are still rare but when you see one, your head will turn! They are much larger in person too which I like! The Trofeos have a $15,000 discount making them a compelling option! I’m considering!

[@jayjaytapp]

@@Reko_89 discount how? Because there are a lot of inventory without selling? So dealers offer a hefty discount when visiting in person? Online list price seem around $115k (USD)

[@Reko_89]

@@jayjaytapp This is correct! Here in the Atlanta area, Maseratis simply don’t sell! There are several Grecales that have sat on the lot almost a full year before they sold!

[@kiyanazarbar3319]

This engine sounds exactly like the one in the Stelvio Quadrifoglio. And I mean exactly. On paper they’re different power units, but even the engine cover looks the same…

[@gioeleg6447]

nah, they're mechanically very different. all they have in common is being twin-turbo V6

[@alfisti93]

The 2.9 QV and the 3.0 "Nettuno" both have a *very* similar architecture - I'm inclined to say they share the same block even. However the Maserati 3.0 has completely revised heads, higher compression and more displacement, resulting in (close to) 3000ccm. It also features pre-chamber ignition, which enables a compression ratio of 11:1 in a turbo engine in combination with loads of boost, without causing engine knock. And yes, they're both related to the 90° Twinturbo Ferrari/Maserati V8 family (dubbed the F154).

[@craighopkins4954]

Same engine apart from the injection system, the extra 15 hp doesn't make up for the extra 200 kg and £20+k

[@tannerghost16]

@@craighopkins4954you’re not just buying the engine. If you tell me the Alfa package as a whole is better than Maserati then I’ve just wasted my time typing this out. Have you tried the Alfa’s Uconnect?

You're harsh about the optional extras. It's not like Porsche provides their cars with all the options right from the get go.

[@yawnnned]

If u educated u would know that ford solen it from masterati, they posted their new potential suv design but becouse corona virus they had delay in production, ford took advantage of that and created something similar before them at the final.

[@DeadlyDizzle-yn1vz]

The Grecale is indeed beautiful, but when Mrs. Legouix stood beside it, the car “disappeared”….. As for the car, I considered a 2 liter version last year, but finally went for the Jaguar PHEV E-Pace and the gas station in my neighborhood misses me. I visit the place once a month. Also the tax office missed my money….. I know the reliability reputation of JLR, but a year and 20.000km later I have not visited the service yet!!!! Lucky I guess.

The price isn't optimal but the hardware seems up to the task. Somehow I doubt that German Macan-producing company is sweating too much though. When Porsche starts beating you on price you might want to bring in the green eyeshade brigade.

[@damilolaakanni]

I think this is too small to be a "midsized" crossover. Usually when "midsized crossover" is mentioned, we think of the Porsche Cayenne, Mercedes-Benz GLE or BMW X5.

[@Afraz_9n3]

Those are full-size SUVs tf you mean😂mid sized crossovers are stuff like the Porsche macan, the Audi Q5, the mercedes GLC or BMW X3

[@damilolaakanni]

@Afraz_9n3 it depends on where you are, but in most parts of the world (particularly in Africa) where we majorly use cars designed for use in America and the Middle East, the X3, GLC and Q5 are regarded as compact crossovers. If you call those midsized, then what would you call something like the Lexus LX570?

[@Afraz_9n3]

@@damilolaakanni in Europe and UK the Q5 X3 and glc are mid sized. We don't have the road space of America or the middle east and so we don't have those oversized American style SUVs. Hell on our roads the GLE barely fits. Which also answers your last question we would class something like the lx570 or land cruiser 300 series as an oversized American style SUV aka land yachts😂

[@67claudius]

All new Maseratis are excessively expensive due to the fact that the brand fails to create sufficient synergies with the rest of the Stellantis brands, which is why increasingly insistent rumors in Italy say that it will be sold to Ferrari, let's hope so.

[@Santoshlv426]

I just discovered that Maserati is now owned by Stellantis. This means that while it was once a subsidiary of Ferrari, this is no longer the case. Perhaps Autotrader can delve into this as to why Ferrari offloaded Maserati ? do they still share engines and other hardware

Neither BMW or Mercedes can be compared to Maserati, yes you might get a GLE for the price of a Gracale Modena, but when you get a Maserati you don't get to touch oe see the cheap and scratchy plastic by the door handle in the GLE. That's what you can call a premium life style
