Carnival 2022 continues, and Maserati has already started the Grecale

With the falling corona figures, it seems that Carnival 2022 will continue as usual. Especially nice for our compatriots 'under the rivers'. Even further south they couldn't wait until February 26, as witnessed by this cheerfully dressed Maserati Grecale. We understand the impatience of the Italians. Because of the chip shortage, the introduction of this SUV, which comes under the Levante in the program, had been postponed for a while.

Also fully electric Grecale

In the photos shown, we now see very clearly that the Maserati Grecale is actually a shrunken Levante. Although the headlights strongly remind of a Porsche Macan. Furthermore, the photos and press information are not very revealing. The biggest real news is that the car will be presented in all its glory on March 22. The manufacturer also says that there will be a fully electric version. At its launch, the Grecale will likely feature the Ghibli's mild-hybrid powertrain. That means that there is a two-liter four-cylinder turbo engine with 330 hp and 450 Nm behind the trident. This should enable a 100th sprint of less than 6 seconds and a top speed of around 240 km/h.

It is expected that in addition to the entry-level Grecale with 330 hp and the electric version, Maserati will also offer a Grecale with a more powerful V6. Whether or not equipped with plug-in technology.

Finally modern infotainment

That Maserati is announcing modern safety systems and state-of-the-art infotainment with voice control is great, because on that point the existing models are quite behind the times. In terms of sizing, the Maserati Grecale falls into the category of the Porsche Macan, Alfa Romeo Stelvio and Audi Q5. In the interior we expect the typical Maserati style, equipped with chic wood, beautiful leather, Zegna wool, aluminum and carbon.
