2023 Maserati Grecale Trofeo Bursts onto Scene From Italian Hillsides Flaunting New Interior, Voracious 3.5-Liter V6

We are so excited for summer for many reasons here at Jim Butler Maserati of Saint Louis, as the pavement is usually dry, the days are sunny, and the best driving opportunities of the year are finally right in front of us. These are the most amazing times to engage the throttle, enjoy the astute steering characteristics that all our fine offerings possess, and enjoy every corner of scenic and engaging driving that only a high-end model can provide the well-designated chops for.

The Motor1.com automobile staff had chosen to take a very close look at the 2022 Maserati Grecale, which is a very game-changing model for us regarding facing our German rivals directly in the eye with vigor and an astronomical product. As Maserati’s very first true compact crossover, the Grecale provides an ideal and glamorous number to compete in the wildly popular smaller-sized medium, and it’s also the first model that showcases’ our brand’s very improved interior.

The Motor1.com troupe brought a film crew along this time and journeyed back to our Italian homeland to the lush hills of Umbria to open the accelerator, check out the SUVs overall vibe, and bring back home a glowing A+ report card. It was first heavily noted how much the team enjoyed the 530-horsepower derived from the MC20 sourced 3.5-liter V6 engine, not only packing a powerful punch but putting out a driving experience of an aggressive and historically vicious character. With the pairing from the ZF 8-speed automatic transmission, the V6 is ripe with energy, and the Corsa mode unlocks its full potential while adding dramatic dynamics with a very robust engine note.

This is where we will stand on our hard-earned laurels and explain just how much love we have for the symphony that originates from the exhaust! It remains very lively and still pays homage to the touring days of yesteryear, and we are thrilled to offer models of this caliber before the incoming changes of full-on electrification pose a drastic difference within the entire automotive landscape. Beating out the GTS-branded German and fully-flexed competition’s peak output by 89 horsepower, this version boasts the additives of cylinder deactivation on the right bank as well as twin-combustion and wet-sump lubrication to boost efficiency.

This very evolved Giorgio platform comes with all-wheel drive, a quadrilateral front suspension and a multilink setup at the rear, air springs, and a limited-slip self-locking electronic rear differential. The taillights resemble the boomerang units that the Original Maserati 3200 GT circa 1998 looked like, and the rest of the Grecale’s infotainment is all now accessible via 12.3-inch and 8.8-inch touchscreens, with the larger one being an angled hexagon in the center, showing the most important functions directly on the front page. You’ll be amply blessed with plenty of leg and shoulder room, and always be enjoying the essence of one of America’s finest, most furious, and final existing examples of raw performance and exciting power.
