2023 Maserati Grecale Trofeo Fares as “Pinnacle of Performance” From Car and Driver Crew

Dropping the twin-turbo V6 from the MC20 into a compact SUV was just what we had in mind for an exhilarating way to kick off the New Year here at Jim Butler Maserati of St Louis! The Grecale Trofeo will boast 523 horsepower when excitingly all the way open, while also laying claim to a 0-60 mph run at just 3.6 seconds. The prestigious Car and Driver crew claimed after just a quick first glance that the Audi SQ5 and BMW X3M should take notes from the Grecale Trofeo’s well-designed exterior.

This is an all-new model for 2023, debuting next to the standard Grecale, and exists as the highest level of performance on the rung for our compact crossover. As the Trofeo has already delved into what is the pinnacle of luxury quality directly out of the gate, it comes standard with nearly every anticipated premium feature. You’ll be cheerfully burning through all varieties of straightaways and turns with 21-inch wheels on summer tires, 14-way power-adjustable front seats with heat, adaptive cruise control, and genuine leather upholstery.

We knew that with an engine borrowed from the otherworldly and almighty MC20, this would be an SUV that would solidify the bar for years to come regarding exhilarating performance. It’s not just the quick 0-60 time and 177 mph top speed that make the Grecale such a glistening jewel of sorts: many amazing qualities assist with its refined elegance. Multiple auto enthusiast entities on the web will excitedly be reporting accelerating results and driving impressions for the Trofeo, which also comes standard with an air suspension and adaptive dampers.

The Grecale Trofeo boasts an official EPA rating of 18 mpg city and 25 mpg highway, and the Car and Driver troupe will soon be enjoying the task of putting it through its due diligence on a highway testing route. Once inside, it’s evident that every little detail has been worked through to make things amazingly elegant. There are rich materials everywhere, along with a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster and pair of poised and ready touchscreens on the center stack.

A 3-zone climate system also comes as standard, and the Grecale Trofeo’s cargo area offers up to 20 cubic feet of space. Our very latest Google-based infotainment system is onboard, which runs on the 12.3-inch touchscreen. Each model comes with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, with a Wi-Fi hotspot also included. Sonus Faber is responsible for the 5-star audio quality onboard, available for a completely game changing and pristine 21-speaker setup. Drawing their inspiration from the highest Italian culture, they are a brand that features natural sound, natural materials, and the surreal Lute shape.

We are always finding ways to make the ownership experience here at Jim Butler even more rewarding, and you’ll be enjoying first-rate warranty and maintenance coverage for the Grecale Trofeo. You’ll be thrilled to take a test drive of the superior crossover that Motor Trend billed as “Perfectly sharp, well-balanced, and track ready.”
