Maserati Grecale pricing announced

Maserati Australia has priced the upcoming 2023 Maserati Grecale range from $109,500 plus on-road costs ahead of its local launch in the first quarter of next year.

The Australian line-up for the all-new mid-size Italian premium SUV will consist of three variants – base GT, mid-range Modena and flagship Trofeo – with the latter two stepping prices up even further, to $128,000 and $165,000 respectively, on account of their more aggressive powertrains.

The Modena actually features the same 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo-petrol mild-hybrid engine as the GT, but while the base model develops 221kW/450Nm the mid-ranger boasts outputs of 242kW/450Nm. Both variants feature all-wheel drive and an eight-speed automatic transmission as standard.

As alluded to by its Trofeo nomenclature, the top-spec Grecale ups the ante considerably with its twin-turbo 3.0-litre V6 – pinched from the Maserati MC20 supercar – pumping out 390kW/620Nm.

Standard equipment highlights across the range will include a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, a 12.3-inch infotainment display, Sonus Faber Premium Sound, smartphone mirroring and adaptive cruise control, while headline driver aids include active lane management, rear cross path alert and drowsy drive detection.

All three versions will be available with a series of options packs – Comfort, Cold Weather, Handling, Tech Assistance and Nerissimo – that will allow owners to spec their premium mid-size SUV to their liking without entering the full-scale Fuoriserie personalisation program.

Maserati Australia and New Zealand general manager Grant Barling said the new Grecale, which will be positioned beneath the Maserati Levante large SUV (previously priced from $135,990), gives the Italian trident brand a presence in the country’s biggest SUV market segment for the first time.

“With Grecale’s stunning looks, powerful drivetrains, high levels of safety and technology, and unmatched levels of personalisation through the Fuoriserie programme, we are confident the Grecale will play a significant role in the growth of Maserati,” he said.

Speaking of growth, there have been some sizeable price hikes elsewhere in the local Maserati portfolio as the brand streamlines and tweaks its range for the 2023 model year.

Maserati Levante prices are up by between $10 and $10,010 depending on the variant, with the biggest change revolving around the axing of the second-tier Modena grade and its subsequent replacement by the gruntier Modena S.

With the lesser version headed out the door, the Modena S will now simply be known as ‘Modena’.

The base GT’s price has also risen significantly – by $9010 – but the details surrounding that price bump aren’t as clear-cut.

Exactly the same moves have been made within the Maserati Ghibli range, which has risen $5000-$9010, while the bigger Maserati Quattroporte has gone up by $4010-$8100.

“Some previously optional equipment is now standard including wireless phone charger and remote start function on Ghibli and Quattroporte, while a 15-speaker Bowers & Wilkins surround sound system is now standard on all Trofeo variants of Ghibli, Levante and Quattroporte,” a local spokesperson said.

There’s been no changes to the pricing or spec of the Maserati MC20 sports car duo .
