The Grecale SUV is available in 300hp GT, 330hp Modena and 530hp V6 Trofeo variants.
Maserati has announced today that prices for the Grecale SUV in India start at Rs 1.31 crore. The Maserati Grecale is available in three variants – GT (Rs 1.31 crore), Modena (Rs 1.53 crore) and Trofeo (Rs 2.05 crore). Considering the Maserati SUV’s price point due to its CBU status, the Grecale is significantly more expensive than its closest rival, the Porsche Macan (Rs 96.05 lakh-1.53 crore).

Maserati Grecale GT: powertrain, features
The entry-level Grecale GT is powered by a 300hp, 2.0-litre, four-cylinder turbo-petrol engine with mild-hybrid assist that is paired with an 8-speed automatic, which drives all four wheels. It has a claimed 0-100kph time of 5.6 seconds and a top speed of 240kph. A mechanical differential is offered as standard.
Maserati has equipped the exterior of the base Grecale with 19-inch wheels, LED headlights, chrome highlights on the grille and twin dual exhaust tips, along with metallic paint options. On the inside, this variant comes with 10-way powered front seats with a memory function, a 12-inch digital instrument cluster, a 12-inch infotainment touchscreen with navigation, an 8-inch touch-enabled panel for the dual-zone climate control system, a 14-speaker music system, and aluminium paddle shifters. Safety kit includes a Level 1 ADAS suite.
Maserati Grecale Modena: powertrain, features
The mid-spec Gracale Modena gets the same 2.0-litre engine, but tuned to produce 330hp, which helps it achieve a claimed 0-100kph time of 5.3 seconds. The top speed and other specifications are the same as the GT, but the Modena also gets a limited slip diff and adaptive suspension.
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, features
The top-spec Grecale Trofeo comes with a 530hp, 3.0-litre V6 turbo-petrol unit that is said to help the model sprint to 100kph in just 3.8 seconds, and go on to a top speed of 285kph. The range-topper also gets an electronic limited slip diff as standard.
To the list of features offered on the Modena, the Trofeo adds 21-inch wheels, red highlights on the brake calipers, sportier front and rear bumpers, and side skirts, along with carbon fibre elements on the outside and in the cabin.
Range-topping Trofeo variant gets 530hp V6 and sportier design.
Maserati India says that the brand already has preconfigured 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.
As we had reported earlier, the all-electric Grecale Folgore is also expected to make its way to India, though a specific timeline has yet to be revealed by Maserati.
Maserati India expansion plans
The Italian marque, owned by Stellantis, is scheduled to announce prices for the GranTurismo grand tourer by the end of August. In addition, in order to increase its presence in our market, Maserati has plans to launch the GranTurismo at its new, upcoming dealership in New Delhi. The brand will also inaugurate a new showroom in Bengaluru. Considering Maserati currently has just the one showroom in Mumbai, this network expansion, along with the new models coming, should help the company’s sales in our country.
However, there are no immediate plans to leverage Stellantis dealer and service network that is already present in our market. Speaking to Autocar India, Philippe Claverol, head of Maserati’s overseas markets, said, “We act on our own, but we use some resources of Stellantis in Germany. We [currently] use Stellantis for some support functions – like importing the cars.” He did add that Maserati could explore further collaboration with Stellantis, but reiterated that there are no plans to do so in the immediate future.
