I didn't expect this! 2024 Maserati Grecale review

Рет қаралды 16,367

Surprising. Delightful. Amazing. This is the Maserati Grecale.
It's the brand's smallest SUV model, despite being bigger than its main rival, the Porsche Macan. But it's smaller than the less-impressive Maserati Levante, and it has a very, VERY different vibe to that crossover.
The Grecale is powered by a choice of mild hybrid turbo four-cylinder engines, or a twin-turbo V6. Sadly, it was a 4-cyl that I drove, the entry-spec GT model, but it was extremely impressive in a number of ways.
But it also has a few really, REALLY silly elements to the interior. You won't believe them until you see them!!
It isn't cheap, but it is a Maserati. Tell me if you think it's worth the money in the comments below.

Great review man. My friend just upgraded to this from the Stelvio and I drove it last night. Very impressive. She had a Giulia before that and is the reason I have a Giulia now.

A beautiful car that would be lovely to own for driving experience and comfort. I have a small (ancient) history with Italian cars, that back then, were temperamental and very expensive to repair. This car seems very well engineered and built. But a three year warranty would, apart from the price, discourage me. Maybe, if I travel to Italy again, I could hire one for the driving experience. Thanks for an informative and excellent review.

Thank you Greg. I may also make mention that you can buy a drivetrain warranty that spans out to 10 years … I bet it costs a pretty penny, though!

The only issue I found during my test drive the 2023 Modena version is under hard acceleration the front end lifts up and render steering vague and almost uncontrollable, maybe it tye 21” all season tires . o so almost trade my 2016 Cayenne turbo but bailed out , hope the 2024 is different

I like the looks, but I'm scared of reliability. Resale is the worst. Better to buy one used because they're half the price after only a few months.

@therightcar 5 ай бұрын

Yeah, it is a sad reality that Maserati suffers terrible resale. They make great cars. But buying a used one? Also a bit risky, I’d think!

@labitcoineragt3596 4 ай бұрын

The resale it’s probably due to how expensive parts and work is if something were to brake. I bought a granturismo last year and it’s been amazing. You can feel the difference, you know the car was built extremely well. It’s such a joy to drive. I’m not worried about resale because I bought it to enjoy it and I’m not thinking about selling it any time soon and if I do… the car more than paid itself with every smile it has given me. Now we’re getting an suv because well I do have kids and a giant dog 😂 so because I love my granturismo so much I’m shifting from wanting a Tesla x and going for what I love instead. Again these cars are built better than most cars and not mass produced so they’re worth it.

I love that the electric door handle has a back up as they, in classic Italian style, know that the electrical system is due to disintegrate upon the warranty lapsing.

All i can see with the grill is the Honda Zrv lol. Apart from that, while the trunk is big it could be much bigger for the size, also why is there no spare? Its a mild hybrid, not a full hybrid. The interior is alot of form over function, but its a luxury Italian car so youve kind of singed up for that. That third screen is a issue though, it takes away most of your headlight controls(first ive seen nonsense like that) and because of the angle, easy to bump on the go. I do like that digital clock its got a crisp display and alot of features(side note if anyone has a Vitara you can get a digital clock that can do some of that stuff). The car seems to be a good drive, a bit too good but at least the mild hybrid is doing its job on that front. All in all if you can afford this car alot of my concerns are irrelevant.

@@therightcar i’ve had this car since April 1 day I had it home in the garage it broke down it wouldn’t start and they told me there was a recall on it if the key fob was within 75 feet of the car that was the first tow out of three tows. I went to Tampa Florida to go to a concert with my girlfriend 16-year-old daughter and we come out the next morning and the car won’t start of course don’t know how to jump it’s there’s a battery in the front & the back a had to tow & sat in the dealership for five hours. There were 6 recalls on it. I went to push the button to put it into drive and the whole panel has caved in. It just seems like time and time again there’s a problem I got in the car to use it two days ago, and all it keeps telling me is that the tires are all flat, I think the PSI should be 34 or 35 and it’s hitting 34 or 35 and all the dummy lights are coming on telling me the tires are low for what I spent for this car. It’s been one headache after another I can’t even trust to drive it long distance, it was a second vehicle for me and I researched cars for over a year saved my money to get this car and nobody will help me with it. It’s the biggest disappointment purchase I’ve ever purchased in my life.
