MILAN : Maserati took the wraps off its new Grecale sports utility vehicle on Tuesday, marking another step in the promised expansion of the automaker's range as part of a turnaround strategy.
Maserati, the luxury brand of Stellantis, said the Grecale would be available in the second half of this year in three versions, two 300- and 330-horse-powered four-cylinder mild hybrids, as well as a high performance 530-horse powered petrol V6 capable of a top speed of 285 kilometres per hour. With a length of 4.859 meters and a starting selling price ranging from around 74,000 to 111,000 euros , the Grecale will compete with models including Porsche's Cayenne and Macan, Mercedes' GLE, BMW's X5 and Land Rover's Discovery.
Taking its name from a wind, like its elder sister Maserati Levante, the Grecale will be produced in Stellantis' Cassino plant, in central Italy.
