The Maserati Grecale Folgore is the all-electric version of the brand’s mid-sized SUV, reflecting an extraordinary time of change in Modena, as pistons morph into plugs. Little old Maser is moving at impressive pace to keep up with the big boys – and is actually beating most other sporting luxury marques to market with its electrified range.EV comes this: the Maserati Grecale Folgore, the 100% electric mid-sized crossover.
The Grecale is a neat-looking SUV whose dimensions closely ape those of the combustion cars; the large 105kWh battery is cleverly packaged in the Giorgio platform without changing the external dimensions one jot. Even boot space is identical to the petrol car’s, at 535 litres.It’s a roomy cabin with plenty of space for four adults; only a tall-ish transmission tunnel betrays its petrol parentage.
The Grecale Folgore has a pleasing fluidity to how it drives, aided by standard air springs that can be adjusted separately from the drivetrain by toggling through four drive modes. They lift the body by a couple of inches in off-road mode, providing extra ground clearance. Performance is well judged – and special plaudits for the brilliant soundtrack emanating from a pair of speakers under the boot floor. It’s the best EV signature sound I’ve heard: neither too loud, nor too futuristically whacky.The Maserati Grecale Folgore is a standalone electric model costing £109,905. There is only one spec and there doesn’t seem to be any cheaper trims on the horizon.
