The Maserati Grecale is a luxury SUV that combines Italian styling with a driver-focused character. The facelifted range is available in five variants, starting with the 300PS Grecale and extending to the 530PS Trofeo V6. Petrol options include a 2.0-litre four-cylinder mild-hybrid engine and a 3.0-litre Nettuno V6, with an 8-speed automatic gearbox and all-wheel drive across the petrol range.
The biggest mechanical change is the introduction of the 390PS Nettuno V6 in the new Modena V6 variant. The facelift also brings a redesigned front end, a revised digital clock, a new steering wheel and updated gear selector controls.

Grecale Road Test Findings
What we liked
The new 390PS Nettuno V6 is a natural fit for the Grecale, with readily available power, a strong mid-range and an appealing engine and exhaust note.
Handling is a highlight, with crisp responses that give the SUV an engaging character through corners.
The cabin combines rich leather upholstery, stitched dashboard detailing and modern screens without losing its Italian character.
The front seats are supportive, while rear passengers get good kneeroom and headroom.
The steering-mounted aluminium paddle shifters have a satisfying feel and add to the driving experience.
What we did not like
The suspension allows road imperfections to filter into the cabin, even in the more comfort-oriented settings.
Some of the interior plastics feel ordinary for an SUV at this price.
The rear-seat backrest is not reclinable, which limits comfort on longer journeys.
Buyers looking primarily for chauffeur-driven comfort may find more suitable alternatives in larger luxury SUVs.
Who should buy the Grecale?
Based on our review, the Grecale suits buyers who value driving involvement and distinctive styling alongside luxury.
Buyer type
Why it fits
If you enjoy driving yourself
The 390PS V6 Modena offers a strong engine, responsive paddle shifters and engaging handling.
If you want a distinctive luxury SUV
The Italian styling, prominent Trident grille and extensive personalisation options help it stand apart.
If cabin finish matters
Leather upholstery, stitched dashboard detailing and updated controls give the interior a handcrafted character.
If you want a more powerful alternative to the entry model
The Modena V6 bridges the gap between the 330PS mild-hybrid Modena and the 530PS Trofeo.
If performance is the priority
The Trofeo V6 produces 530PS and can accelerate from 0-100kph in a claimed 3.8 seconds.
The Grecale is less suited to buyers who prioritise a soft, isolated ride or chauffeur-focused rear-seat comfort over driving involvement.
Maserati Grecale price in India starts at 1.14 crore for the GT and goes up to 2.00 crore for the Trofeo V6, both ex-showroom. The on-road price in Delhi ranges from 1.33 crore to 2.33 crore. The five-variant range includes four petrol versions and one all-electric version.
Which one to pick:
The 300PS Grecale is the entry point into the range and is suited to buyers who want the Maserati experience without moving to a V6.
The 330PS Grecale Modena retains the 2.0-litre mild-hybrid engine but offers more power than the standard version.
The 390PS Grecale Modena V6 is the significant new addition. Its 3.0-litre Nettuno V6 gives buyers a six-cylinder option without stepping up to the Trofeo.
The 530PS Grecale Trofeo V6 is the performance-focused choice, with a claimed 0-100kph time of 3.8 seconds and a top speed of 285kph.
Maserati Grecale petrol mileage varies with the engine and variant. The 2.0-litre mild-hybrid versions were previously listed with ARAI-certified figures of 10.87 kpl for the 300PS version and 10.75 kpl for the 330PS Modena. The 3.0-litre V6 Trofeo is listed at 8.85kpl.
The facelift adds a 390PS Nettuno V6 to the Modena range, but the available Indian specifications do not include a separate certified mileage figure for this new version. Buyers considering the new V6 should therefore not assume that it will match the older 330PS Modena's certified figure.
Actual petrol mileage will vary with driving conditions, traffic, driving style and the use of the available performance.
