Maserati has confirmed that the all-new Grecale SUV will touch down on Australian shores in the first quarter of 2023. The Italian car manufacturer has announced that it will offer local buyers three different variants of the Grecale, consisting of the GT, Modena, and Trofeo. While official specifications and pricing details haven’t been announced, recently-leaked dealer bulletins have revealed all Aussies could want to know about the SUV.
Powering the entry-level Maserati Grecale
GT will be a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine with a 48-volt
mild-hybrid system that pumps out 296 hp and 450 Nm of
torque. Wheels understands this variant will start at AU$ 109,500 (US$ 76,869) and
include key standard features such as a mechanical differential, single-rate
suspension, 19-inch wheels, matte grey brake calipers, full LED headlights,
leather upholstery, aluminum door sills, a 14-speaker Sonus Faber audio system,

48-volt mild-hybrid but it has been upgraded to produce 325 hp and 450
