The Grecale is available in three variants – GT (Rs 1.31 crore), Modena (Rs 1.53 crore) and Trofeo (Rs 2.05 crore).

In terms of features, the Modena is equipped with 20-inch wheels, black highlights instead of chrome, leather interiors, 14-way adjustable sport seats with a heating function and three-zone climate control.
Maserati Grecale Trofeo Powertrain and Features
A 530HP powers the top specifications Grecale Trofeo, 3.0-litre V6 turbo-petrol engine that is said to accelerate the car to 100kmph in 3.8 seconds and reach a top speed of 285kmph. The range-topper also includes an electronic limited-slip differential as standard.
The Trofeo adds 21-inch wheels, red highlights on the brake calipers, sportier front and rear bumpers, side skirts, and carbon-fibre parts inside and out to the Modena’s feature set.
Maserati India says that the brand already has pre-configured cars ready for buyers who would like delivery of their new Grecale immediately. However, those who want to personalise their SUV would have to wait five to eight months for delivery, depending on the level of customisation.
Maserati India Expansion Plans
The Stellantis-owned Italian marque is coming back to the Delhi and Bengaluru markets, and prices for the GranTurismo grand tourer will be announced at the opening of its New Delhi showroom. Given that Maserati presently only has one shop in Mumbai, this network expansion and the upcoming new models should boost the company’s sales in our country.
