Italy’s trident brand aims directly at Porsche Macan with its second SUV, the mid-size Maserati Grecale 👉 Full Review: www.carsales.com.au/editorial...
The 2023 Maserati Grecale is arguably the most important new model ever to be released by Italy’s trident brand - both in Australia and abroad.
Just as the Cayenne and Macan effectively guaranteed Porsche’s ongoing profitability, Maserati’s second SUV follows in the wheel tracks of the larger Levante and is tasked with bringing more volume, profit and new customers to Alfa Romero’s sister brand.
However, the Grecale doesn’t come cheap and faces stiff competition from established payers like the Macan, Audi Q5, BMW X3/X4, Jaguar F-PACE, Mercedes-Benz GLC/GLB and Range Rover Evoque.
Join Sam Charlwood for our first Australian drive of the all-new Maserati Grecale, in mid-range Modena form.

this is a beautiful car! Modena is awesome, great price and lots of horse power, stable over 120 miles per hour (yes I test drove that fast)

funny enough, maserati was the one to come up with the idea of a car of this format

I’ve owned a full spec Modena for 2 months now and I agree with most of what you say. The issue is the platform is a real mess at the moment and mine has just got back from spending 37 straight days in the service center for numerous issues. The whole key and keyless entry system is a mess and even the loaner had issues. The dealer told me that the President of Maserati America has said that the Grecale has had a lot more issues than they expected. The design in the interior is great but there is also a lot of cheap like the steering wheel buttons and doors buttons and bad design decisions like backlighting them where you can’t see what the buttons are in sunlight with sunglasses on. The screens and buttons are also fingerprint magnets. And then there is the beeping. The car never stops beeping. Even if it’s open and you touch the front door handles, the car beeps twice. If you don’t get the handle touch perfect, it can beep 4 or 5 times. Walk 1 meter from the car and it locks and beeps so filling up with gas/petrol is a pain. Get out of the car and walk along it to the passenger side back door and the car locks along the way and beeps twice. It’s just a hugely frustrating car. Other things work when they want to like the tailgate kick sensor, speakers in the car. In summary, a great design and better looking than others on the road but falls short of its competitors in every dept other than design an interior space in the back. It’s also the most expensive in class which could be a real issue for Maserati. The needed success of the Grecale could redefine them but it could also end them. Only time will tell!

I guess you got unlucky with a lemon, I have owned a Grecale Modena for 2 months now, flawless car and everything is in working order. Unlike my previous porsche macan s which has numerous issues.

I have a GLB 35AMG for about a year now around the similar price and performance but I think boot space is a bit smaller compared to my old discovery sport and the ride comfort/tyre noise is not that great on Sydney roads... Wondering if this modena model would ride better?

watching from the US (seattle) this review is pretty HONEST - I hate reviews sponsored by dealership

These cars are best suited for European roads. In Australia people can lump around in their prado and Pajero

It’s not edgy enough for me. The front grill is sharp looking but everything around it is too puffy. Overall the car is bland and doesn’t stand out in the way that a car wearing the Maserati badge should.
