- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 พ.ค. 2024
- There are some very good performance compact SUVs on the market but could the new Maserati Gracale Trofeo be the perfect 1 car garage ? I attended the UK press drives for the latest model from Maserati and drove the entry level GT and range topping Trofeo back to back.

I’ve had my grecale Trofeo for almost 3 months now and I love it. That nettuno engine is quite aggressive
It sure is 💪
Great vid Pete, You driving the Trofeo had me smiling from ear to ear, lovely looking SUV. Leaving me thinking to upgrade from my Stelvio.
It’s like a Stelvio but better 👍
Interesting proposition! The interior looks very special!
That interior is Absolutely stunning! 😍
Top video as always mate 💪🏻
It really is very lovely 👌
Now that's a car. My favourite car I have owned was a 2.5L Petrol V6 and it sounded so good but was not a patch on that nor had the safety of 4 wheel drive. It looks like you had a lot of fun in that.
It was a fun day for sure 👍
Thanks for the awesome review 👍 this seems to be a perfect daily / family car. Let's just imagine for a sec... Your GTS Boxter and a Gracale in your Barn 😁...would fit quite well!
Excited to see a more in-depth review down the line one day😉 maybe even on a road trip
Oh I know 😳
Evening Pete, top video as always👍
Thanks 🙏🏻
Looks like a really nice car.Great review and well driven as always.
Thanks 🙏🏻
Loved the video, as always!! We’ve just bought a Trofeo model - absolutely fantastic machine. I get where people are coming from with regards to a ford puma, however, I think there’s bits and pieces in every manufacturer that mirror each other. For me???? It’s all about the brand and that nettuno engine …… mamma Mia 🇮🇹 bloody sublime ❤❤❤❤❤
That engine is a tour de force. Enjoy the car. Very jealous 👌
Agree, a Maser needs to be a min of 6 cylinders and a petrol. Great choice 🤌🏼🤌🏼
Great review ped
Thanks 🙏🏻
Wonderful review, very interesting indeed. You have definitely peaked my interest for my new daily .......... Looking up where my nearest Maserati dealership is right now !! ......... Many thanks PP
Great to hear 👍
The Trofeo sounds like a naughty beast!! Great vid as always Pete. Both beautiful cars.
It’s very naughty 😂
@@PetrolPed I always love seeing your reaction to the power delivery on some of the cars you've driven over the years! The Trofeo is the latest one to blow you away!!
Great video mate
Thanks mate 👍
Another very comprehensive review. Lovely car, not my bag TBH but a lovely car/s. Cheers Pedro
Cheers Dan 👍
An interesting vehicle indeed & great content for the channel 👌👌
Thanks Michael 👍
Absolutely fabulous looking and sounding car
Yep 👍
Great Video Pete, The Achilles heel about Maserati has often been it depreciation, but when you get past that point they're good cars. 👍
Let’s see how these new models fair 🤞
This has to be the most desirable and special SUV in it's segment right now, the interior is outstanding! Maserati is really back to form! a renaissance it looks like!
Couldn't agree more!
Sounds great
Great roads Ped!
Some of my favourites 👍
Evening pal, I still love the Quadraporte 👍👍🇬🇧
Great review Sir Pete!! I definitely like the looks of a Maserati but not price or reliability
Bought a Modena Prima Series, so with all the kit thrown in, in April. Couldn’t afford the Trofeo or the running costs! Interior sold it for me. Agree about the gear selector buttons and indicators. Fast enough for me. Goes well and ride on 21 inch wheels seems good. Come down a size and it is noticeable in handling, but loosing nothing on interior space.
Seems to be some software glitches, and hopefully mine will get sorted soon. So far enjoying and a rare sight!
Apparently they are going to change the indicator noise 👍
Hi Mike, I am torn between a Macan GTS as the PCP is affordable & the Grecale as it looks superior in finish (No one does leather like the Italians) & a better boot space but…. 330bhp v 440 is my worry. Like you say, unless the Trofeo has a fantastic residual & low rate finance, I fear, like you, it will be too expensive. Please let me know how you get on with 330bhp & a 4 cylinder? Thank you
Love it want it! thats a dream car ! Great Video ! 🤩
Thanks 🙏🏻
I am glad you referenced the Stelvio QF as there must be similarities given that the are cousins and regardless of the 'depistaggio' from Maserati
Id have either of them ... Good review 👍🏽
Thanks chap 👍
I was at Maserati in Edinburgh, lovely cars
Ped, please, please test drive the Modena! I commented earlier on your report without watching the full video & turned away from the Grecale but…. Now learning a bit more about it, I would love to know what ‘you’ think of the Modena version. I am meant to be placing an order for a new Macan GTS in September for delivery Summer 24 but this has now really caught my eye.
The PCP on a GTS @ circa £78k for my spec is affordable but a £100k for the Trofeo would be ridiculous unless it has a great RV & low rate PCP? The Modena might, might be a fair compromise but 330bhp, I’d need to see your review / test drive 1st please .
Hi Ped
Maserati taken the fight to Porsche and the Macan, despite price differentials. Heart would steer towards Maserati but head would go for Porsche. Head to head would make a very interesting video down the line.😉
One of the Hendy boys gave me a bit of a bollocking when I had a moan about Honda outboards and RIB powerboats (my full-time job for over 30 years). Boy, they're jolly brand loyal!!!!!
I totally agree with you, it’s a very enjoyable car. I bought one in October and love driving it
Nice 👌
24 Trident’s just on the GT’s wheels alone. Cracking car
They do like their tridents 🔱
Need to wear a Christopher Ward watch or a very rare, Marine Chronometer Offshore Professional. With Only about 170 world wide.
Both have Trident’s
Great video as always. Thank you. A 4 year old Stelvio QV at £40,000 makes more sense if I'm spending my money.
👍
Yep 👍
Hi Ped, great work as always. Possible to have a Trofeo as an upcoming Hendy long-termer???? Do we need to get a petition going?
I’m trying 😂
Firstly, I'm a absolute sucker for a dark blue car with a cream interior, so the GT was jaw dropping for me. But that said - I actually preferred the soundtrack to the GT, albeit "enhanced". The six pot was a bit... "meh..."
And as you say, 100K? they're just being silly, but no doubt they'll catch a few before they let the price down slowly
It was a lovely spec 👌
@@PetrolPed Gorgeous - they're so after my money... don't tell them I haven't got any 😁
Not so keen on the lack of buttons for stuff though - that "touch screen for everything" boat has sailed, and it now looks lazy (and TBH a bit cheap) - quite apart from being a pain in the wotsit...
Built on the same Giorgio platform as the Alfa Romeo Stelvio so not surprising that it reminds you of one
Indeed. Only found that out after 😬👍
Hi Pete i am looking to purchase a Grecale soon, i can only afford the GT or Modena. Which one would you recommend as a base model as i would add some extras on them. Thanks.....Paul
Both excellent. Didn’t drive the Modena but the GT is no slouch. Probably a case of speccing both up and seeing what the price difference is. I’d be tempted by the greater power of the Modena 😬
@@PetrolPed Thank you, yes i think the extra bit of power and also slightly better MPG.
Looks really nice Pete, dare I say it.. my 1st thought on seeing it was Porsche Macan.
I would imagine Maserati have pushed the boat out in performance terms to ensure nothing similar is on par ....... but
Circa 100k, I would be worried about two things if I took one over a Macan.....
1) reliability
2) depreciation.
It will be a rarer sight than a Macan though & the interior looks really nice .....
Try for a full Trofeo review 👍🏻
I’m gonna try for a Trofeo long termer 😂
@Petrol Ped ...... Hendy Maserati, you lucked in there Pete 😂
Take it from a current Modena owner, wait a year before buying into the platform. There are so many issues with it being so new. I’ve had my car for 5 weeks and it’s been in the service center for the past 3 weeks and Maserati cannot fix it. There are going to be tons of software updates and Maserati are not making use of over the air updates so be prepared to spend your life at the dealership. It’s funny how Maserati turn off the key and keyless entry beep sound when giving it to reviewers to review as all the car does is beep to the point where I have been contacted by my HOA about it and received a letter from a neighbor. Don’t get me wrong, it will be a great car but they need to sort out the issues and do something with the price.
That’s not good. I noticed the beeping 😬
Great review and a lovely car looks nicer than the Alfa Stelvio and this might be my favourite SUV.
It’s now mine 👍
@@PetrolPed and very nice too! Enjoy!
Now I could live with one of those PP..... Very Nice.... :-))
Me too 👍
Looks great but the gear change buttons are horrendous - hope the manufacturers get it right soon again. Same for all the touch controls - pathetic (hidden) attempt on margin increase in a high price segment.
To my eyes, better looking than the Porsche Macan and most other rivals. The Italians know how to do flair way better than the rest and the name Maserati is so evocative. I hope this car does well, the Levante was never in the running, lets hope this one is.
I agree 👍
At the price, I am honestly not sure what the Troffeo is trying to compete with. I just went on to the configurator here in the US and with the options you might want it is $113K, compared to a Macan fully kitted out it just edges $100K. The GT and Moderna I think are comparable with an S Macan. Now Macan is due a face lift when they introduce the EV version in parallel with petrol versions in 6 months to a year and I am sure the price will go up.
Yup. My thoughts exactly. Really it should be a £75-£80k car plus a small amount of optional extras to bring it in at around he same price as a fully kitted Macan. I have just gone on the configurator and ticked pretty much every box and still came in under £100k
Yeah as I said in the video I think the Trofeo is a bit punchy. There is an EV version coming very soon 👍
20:27 it’s actually much heavier then the Stelvio QV
Yes, I like the top of the range, defo. ❤
Me too 😂
I will have one please you really enjoy yourself in that car 🚗
Yep 👍
You say it has a "smaller footprint" than the Stelvio - it's built on the same Giorgio platform but it is 159mm (6.3-in) longer!
I said it felt like a smaller car 😜
@@PetrolPed I had a Stelvio Quadrifoglio for 4 years and here in the Swiss Alps I wouldn't want a bigger car - so I get your point about feeling small and I say the Levante is too big, as is the GranTurismo. I do know that many Levante owners love the air suspension which the Stelvio doesn't have making the Grecale an interesting proposition...
I also had a go in a Trofeo, loved it, but the pricing put me off. I hadn't considered the other models - was surprised by your comments on the GT and maybe the Modena is the one to go for... did you perhaps get to drive one off camera?
Have to say they all sound good but the V6 yes thats the one!!
Yep 👍
wow 10:35 your volume are so loud, please make everything even
To bad the regular press don't always give Alfas and Maserati the credit they deserve.
I love them both 👍
Come on Pete it's GrEcale, not GrAcale... It's the name of a wind... Coming from Greece (Grecia in Italian). Cheers from Italy from a Spyder owner (and no, the cabin is of equal length! :-P). Love your videos and podcast, keep up the good work!
Thanks for the correction. I was just saying it like everyone from Maserati 😜😂
@@PetrolPed shame on them, then! Cheers mate! N.B. update the title!
@@BubuBarong Oops...see what you mean !!!!
@@PetrolPed glad to help mate!
If, and it is a very big if, Miss South Africa, who spent her first 32 years in the Kalahari Desert, has her head gasket, polished and ported heads done this Summer……I will demonstrate, in fact you can experience it yourself, how I can sit behind myself. At 6ft 1.7. In a 1970s Alfasud Ti. Ridiculously spacious. I, and she live in Poole 😂
Keep me posted 👍
Lovely car, but have you seen the option prices? Here in France most of the paints are 20k !! yes Twenty thousand Euro for a different colour paint!
Ouch 🤕
what ! ????? !!!!
Yeah all the nice colours are expensive. I wanted yellow when i ordered mine but said no thanks in the end, £20k for that
Special paints. Which most others do anyway. But does seem steep.
Grecale v Macan comparo, Pete??
I’d love to do that one day. It would be very close 👍
Great vid. No one does interiors like the Italians. By the way it's been a month since you took "ownership" of the Nissan Ariya, just sayin'.
6 weeks actually 😂 Filmed with it yesterday. Video drops on Friday 👍
@@PetrolPed Thank you, Sir, look forward to it as usual.😁
Did I hear correctly you said 206 HP or 300 PS ?? :)
296 👍
It’s looks like a cross between a Macan and an E pace
I can see that 👍
New long-termer incoming? Trofeo of course 🙏
I wish 😂
Beautiful looking car. Much prettier than Alfa Romeo Tonale.
As good as a Macan ?
Macan is a very good car. This is right up there and that comes from a Porsche owner 😜
Looks nicer than the Aston Martin DBX and way cheaper?
Hi Ped
Hi 👋
Hmm, I'd rather have a Macan if I was in the market for something like this. I mean most cars are an outrageous price but if I heard that correct, 62k for the base model with a 4 pot 206 bhp? Crackers. The next model up you said has a 'bit' more power? I don't call 50% a bit if its got over 300 bhp? The interior does look good and I'm happy that Maserati is keeping going but it just makes going for something 2 or 3 years old a much better idea.
Quite a good looking thing. I'd want one if I was spending someone else's money.
With paddles sitting in front of the steering wheel the old gear stick is completely unnecessay
Not so. It becomes a faff when manoeuvring. Going from drive to reverse 👍
Trofeo smells like a new long termer... They should build a Maserati hot hatch based on the Modena and maybe even the Trofeo to compete with M2 and the AMG's.
That would be nice. I’ll drop Hendy a note 😜
so it's a better looking Macan based ? suv with Buick roadster side vents...what's not to like !
🤩😍Yeah. When an RS6 can cost £110+ I know which Grecale I want. :)
I enjoyed watching the Video. My favourite Is the GT 😊
👍
One car garage with a Maserati? Bold.
Ironman wristband check 🏊♀️ 🚴 🏃♂️ 💪👍
Well spotted. Never taking that off 😂
..mm, very similar specs to Stelvio. Coincidence?
Similar underpinnings but different engine 👍
Twin turbo V6, producing similar stats...
depreciation will be a killer i think.
It’s larger than a stelvio. Longer wheelbase, more legroom
Doesn’t feel that way 🤔
If the Trofeo isn’t the same basic engine as the Stelvio QV, I will eat the Alfasud it took me 25 years to find, in front of you 😂
The entire car is based on the stelvio, side profile is almost identical
It’s a de tuned version of the V6 Nettuno engine from the MC20. The Stelvio used the 690T aparently 👍
@@PetrolPed You mixed dimensions, Stelvio is considerably smaller.
It’s an Alfa ?
No Maserati! Its the Macan an Audi q5?
Parts of it are shared with Alfa 👍
It's a beautiful car and awesome power ❤
Yep 👍
Interior stunning, exterior an ugly Macan at the front Cayenne at the back. No doubt depreciation will be bad? Good to see you still wearing you IM number proudly 👍
Well spotted. Don’t want to take it off 😂
Alfa Romeo Tonale ?
The PHEV Tonale gets close to the GT but not the other two !
Wait, this is not Alfa Romeo giulietta quadrifoglio ?
Right…a Troffeo at 6 months, 500 miles and £69,995 might be the answer! Maserati always struggles with depreciation but take a chunk off and it just might make sense…and reward the brave! A nice car…but it might bite you in the wallet! 😬😀😀😀😀Richard
Their marketing isn't great, today is the first time I've ever heard of it.
😮
I like the car, but it's Italian and we all that anything Italian will stop working sooner than later.
Think of it like an Italian coffee machine it's good for 2 weeks and then you and your mates have a piss up
The next morning, you all have Hangovers, and you need your coffee .You walk up to the coffee machine, and it doesn't work
You try everything. You even flash yourself at it, but it's no good.
Italian cars are not much different.😊😊😊
Nice car, just don’t think I’d get ‘management’ approval to spend £100k. She’d have a hissy fit. 😂
Yeah same here 😂
Looks like a Macan.
Evening
Hi 👋
First impressions: A Stelvio seduced a Porsche and there's the baby
Not that there's anything wrong with that... 😎
😂😂😂
Seriously, 40 seconds of none skipable adverts, before the video even starts….
On the up side you did get to watch for free. I’ve gotta earn a living somehow. Maybe try TH-cam Premium 🤷♂️
Alfa Stevio in disquise??
And a bit smaller. Similar underpinnings 👍
Dear oh dear. Such confused styling, what a shame. Wants to be a macan at the front and a audi Q8 at the back. At least the levante is reasonably distinctive
A luxury Ford Puma! 😂 Looks much better and lighter than a Stelvio...
Hold up. 206hp or 300ps? Pedantry alert, you mean 306hp or….?
£62k for four cylinders and 300 brake. Hmm…
Hello mate it looks a bit like a Porsche
It does 👍
But more luxurious interior. That swung it for me. And Porsche dealers gave the lowest trade in values by far!
I will buy 7 Trofeo lol
Are Maserati for real? £100k when you can have one of the best performance compact SUVs ie the Macan GTS with bullet proof residual values for around £80k as opposed to a £100k for this 😂..
I wouldn’t even bother. At least £20k overpriced 👎
This is exactly what I said in the video. £80-85k for the Trofeo seems about right and it would destroy a Macan.
The new Ioniq 6 is better! 😉
I’ve got one coming in a few weeks so I’ll let you know my thoughts then 👍
Looks like a porsche
"1 car garage" Sure, if you say so. As with every other premium SUV: a pig in a fancy dress is still a pig. Get an estate if you need a practical car. To all SUV drivers: get out of my lane (the fast one), you are blocking my view!
If you can only have 1 car this does it all and is more than capable of holding its own in the fast lane 😜
@@PetrolPed I disagree. It cannot park in a small city-spot like the Mini Cooper. And it will never feel like your Boxster GTS or my 718 Spyder on a narrow B-road. It's to high, to wide and to long. If you can afford it, then you can afford more suitable cars for the same budget. Greetings from Schwarzwald on holiday with friends and Porsches.
horrible reliability in the states, it is a shame, i love the car as a toy, as a daily driver, terrible.
Yikes, the GT version looks so cheap. I would rather get a fully loaded Genesis GV70!
