2023 Maserati Grecale Redefines Luxury Entry as Iconic Work of Art W/ Exquisite Exhaust Note

The brand that we love to provide and service so much during the scorching summer months here at Jim Butler Maserati of St Louis has long been known as a pinnacle of luxury. With its high-end cabin environment, incredibly powerful optional V6 and very professionally balanced handling, the Grecale enjoys its handsome style and well-configured outfit. It’s not just the exciting performance specs that set our models apart, but one of the most exciting qualities of the 2023 Grecale is its Ferrari-sourced Trofeo powertrain.
The Nettuno is the first non-Ferrari engine in a non-Trofeo vehicle in over two decades, and the Motor Biscuit auto review crew immediately reported back after a test drive that it does not at all disappoint. Both the GT and Grecale Modena models, equipped standard with the four-cylinder turbocharged mild hybrid powertrain system, cranking out 300 and 330 horsepower respectively. The Grecale Trofeo final configuration uses a twin-turbocharged V6 which is where the true aficionado’s adventure really begins, making an amazing case for an entire segment of vehicles that have been able to stand just fine on their own minus a V8.
This is not just a family-oriented entry in the Maserati lineup, albeit an ideal one for anyone looking for a domestic transporter with a standout flair. Situated at a price point that is not hopelessly out of reach for many drivers, slotting adequately directly below the much larger, mid-size Levante. The face of the Grecale still bears the distinctive Maserati grille, but the rest of its body appears in a class with competitors such as the BMW X3, Porsche Macan, and Alfa Romeo Stelvio.
The Car and Driver troupe was smitten with the ride in Comfort mode: a bit softer and pillowy, it still is the ideal way to set high-octane ideals to the side and enjoy an amusement park or summertime lake adventure. As soon as you engage Sport mode, the pavement prowler in you enjoys immediate satisfaction, as a sense of grippiness and distinct aerodynamics allow for the very unfiltered enjoyment of acceleration to shine through. The turbo 4 cylinders are rated at about 22 mpg city and 29 mpg highway, and two of the best add-ons we’d recommend are the three-zone climate system and head-up display.
Inside is a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster and pair of touch screens on the center stack, with the upper handling infotainment duty and the lower taking care of HVAC and other vitals. The Grecale’s cargo area offers up to 20 cubic feet of space, and each model comes with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The entertainment system also is very easily able to work with very useful voice-command services such as Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa, and another stellar upgrade we’d have to recommend is the 21-speaker 1295-watt Sonus Faber premium stereo system.
The Gear Patrol testing crew took the top-shelf Grecale Trofeo out for a thrilling spin on the farm roads outside of Rome, and the Modena in and around the Big Apple. The Trofeo was eager to rip up quickly to redline with extreme strength and pulled forward without any sense of hesitation. Both models were extremely fun to throw around corners as any enthusiast would love to at the wheel of a sedan, thanks to razor-sharp steering and well-engineered suspension. The Cnet review crew claimed that the 2023 Grecale is “an excellent case of a new build possessing a fluid soul”, and we guarantee you that one test drive will remind you thoroughly why you gravitate towards the finer things in life!
