There is something about Maserati that is just worth the premium. It's the looks for sure, the quality of the leather, the sound, the rarity/oddity of it, the way people respond to it....and I can know because I own a 2009 Quattroporte 4.2. Eyewatering expensive to run and maintain, but every time I start it up or park it somewhere and look back I am just filled with affection for it. This Grecale is expensive, but hey, it's a Maserati!
Beautifully said! On average, how much would you say a standard service costs? Landrover services including the tire rotations etc are $2400 which is mind blowing to me! Yes they go every 20,000 miles but still.
It looks like a Ford Puma
That's the power of Maserati's marketing.
@@Bestow3000what marketing? Here in the US Alfa and Maserati pretty much don’t advertise online or on tv.
Great review! The Modena my wife bought is full of character. I love the car. Much more original than a Macan. Everyday becomes just a touch more exceptional.
I was also shocked by the Trofeo how raw of an engine it has
But I guess the Porsche would be more reliable than a Maserati ?
@@kierangan7944nope
@@kierangan7944 definitely!!!!
I see people holding onto cars they bought 3 4 5 years ago, because the cost of replacing them is so enormous these days.
I accept the cost of production has risen, but not to the extent of these asking prices.
£100k for a shopping car. It’s a mad world.
£ 100.000 for the top model, price wise is in line with the Mecan, most affordable model starting around £ 60.000
Well cars are expensive now even top spec Kia SUVs are around 60k plus now.
If you’re a high net worth individual, £100k pounds to you is probably £10k equivalent
I absolutely love the Grecale! They are still rare but when you see one, your head will turn! They are much larger in person too which I like! The Trofeos have a $15,000 discount making them a compelling option! I’m considering!
@@Reko_89 discount how? Because there are a lot of inventory without selling? So dealers offer a hefty discount when visiting in person? Online list price seem around $115k (USD)
@@jayjaytapp This is correct! Here in the Atlanta area, Maseratis simply don’t sell! There are several Grecales that have sat on the lot almost a full year before they sold!
On my second stelvio now, there pretty much the same car underneath, other than the air suspension. Wouldnt swap it for any of the competition.
I bought a Stelvio 210 diesel in 2019 because I love driving to Italy and I need a proper boot for our labrador. I bought it to be my last car because I will never drive an EV and I am old. I love it and have no regrets.
@@murrayarmstrong499 I still have my 2018 Stelvio 280 petrol. Fantastic SUV. No more or less reliable than the Germans and looks a lot better.
I take this over the Macan any day!!
I love that interior. It's simple in design.
If I win the lottery on Friday I will be ordering one on Saturday.
I love it the design, such a beautiful SUV, and the engine OMG!!!
That could actually be the best possible choice in the sporty luxurious SUV category.
I love love, Maserati❤❤❤❤❤
9:20 They always want it to be 1cm longer 😂
Her husband favourite line 🤣
1cm means a lot when it comes to reaching around
One Of The BEST Reviews I've Ever Heard .. Passionate-Informative & Spot on forThe Exceptional Ride it IS ..
Got the front from a Ford Puma, squint enough you can make out the 22’ Jaguar F-Pace for the rear. 😅
THANK YOU!!
That's what I said about the rear. 😂
Yep, this is definitely a combination of those two cars.
If u educated u would know that ford solen it from masterati, they posted their new potential suv design but becouse corona virus they had delay in production, ford took advantage of that and created something similar before them at the final.
@@yawnnnedstop chatting rubbish, the Ford Puma hit the road in 2019 at the same time as Covid. This means it was obviously designed, tested and approved long before Covid and this car. Why make up rubbish to support a car you’ll never own? 😂
@@DeadlyDizzle-yn1vz may, but still. First look of masterati with these light was way before puma
This engine sounds exactly like the one in the Stelvio Quadrifoglio. And I mean exactly. On paper they’re different power units, but even the engine cover looks the same…
nah, they're mechanically very different. all they have in common is being twin-turbo V6
The 2.9 QV and the 3.0 "Nettuno" both have a *very* similar architecture - I'm inclined to say they share the same block even.
However the Maserati 3.0 has completely revised heads, higher compression and more displacement, resulting in (close to) 3000ccm. It also features pre-chamber ignition, which enables a compression ratio of 11:1 in a turbo engine in combination with loads of boost, without causing engine knock.
And yes, they're both related to the 90° Twinturbo Ferrari/Maserati V8 family (dubbed the F154).
Same engine apart from the injection system, the extra 15 hp doesn't make up for the extra 200 kg and £20+k
@@craighopkins4954you’re not just buying the engine.
If you tell me the Alfa package as a whole is better than Maserati then I’ve just wasted my time typing this out. Have you tried the Alfa’s Uconnect?
Good looking car… driven by a beautiful, knowledgable and entertaining lady journalist.
Thanks, Alexandra, I really enjoy your work.
£100k + for a Maserati SUV… ?!
Depreciation will be like a horror film!!
Whatever they pay Alex, it's not enough! It would be interesting to see a long term test on this SUV. Has Maser addressed reliability? If they did would it still be Italian??
You're harsh about the optional extras. It's not like Porsche provides their cars with all the options right from the get go.
my 5 quid says mat's stick of truth won't fit through those "3 side vents"
😂😂😂
Can’t wait for 2 years from now to buy this at half the price 😭
@@omnicognatesnr5947 okay 5 years then?
*_Maserati has been, it is and will always be exceptional from the others on the road. Edizione Folgore is using technology from the Maserati MSG Racing Formula E Team._*
The Grecale is indeed beautiful, but when Mrs. Legouix stood beside it, the car “disappeared”…..
As for the car, I considered a 2 liter version last year, but finally went for the Jaguar PHEV E-Pace and the gas station in my neighborhood misses me. I visit the place once a month. Also the tax office missed my money…..
I know the reliability reputation of JLR, but a year and 20.000km later I have not visited the service yet!!!! Lucky I guess.
Gorgeous, gorgeous gorgeous, ( the cars not bad either?!!)
Take your pill grandpa
Forza Maserati 🇮🇹💓💯💪 bellissima macchina anche la ragazza💞 Bravissima parli bene anche italiano.
beautiful, like it just because it's not a VW Group chavmobile
Alexandra👏👏👏
As always great video!
great video
This Porsche is nice😃
Oh wait this is a Maserati 😮
You mean the ford puma
@@Fumza_DaKing you wish kkkkkk
Btw new Porsche is ugly
@@olorin11 сейчас всё не красиво
Great review ❤
Love your accents, Alexandra! 😂
Would still probably go for new EV Macan ❤❤. Great video and review
Absolutely love it 😊
Lovely video. 👌🏾
Beautiful.
The more I see Alexandra, the more I want to marry her 😍
Me like !!!! I know the cost is to high,, Still look good
Great engine, great interior ... but the exterior (including the wheels) is a big let down. The biggest competitor is not the dull looking Macan but the cheaper and much better looking Stelvio Q.
Love it!!!
It deprecates faster than ice cream melts 😂
Molto Brava 👏🏻
LOVE THE NAIL POLISH BETTER THAN 80K CAR🎅🤩😍🎅
The price isn't optimal but the hardware seems up to the task. Somehow I doubt that German Macan-producing company is sweating too much though. When Porsche starts beating you on price you might want to bring in the green eyeshade brigade.
All new Maseratis are excessively expensive due to the fact that the brand fails to create sufficient synergies with the rest of the Stellantis brands, which is why increasingly insistent rumors in Italy say that it will be sold to Ferrari, let's hope so.
Nice but under the covers is this not a stelvio with updated tech 😉😉
Actually the stelvio QV drives better 🙂🙂
For badge only
i would rather have an MC20 & keep my Tonale for everyday use! 🔱
Maserati ain't got nuthin on you 😍1:54
The Stelvio QV just makes so much more sense. Prettier as well.
just that the Stelvio QV is in its final year while the maserati is basically "new"
Where is Roy? 😅
Reminds me of a early Kia Sportage
Lovely mean Ford Puma.
I just discovered that Maserati is now owned by Stellantis. This means that while it was once a subsidiary of Ferrari, this is no longer the case. Perhaps Autotrader can delve into this as to why Ferrari offloaded Maserati ? do they still share engines and other hardware
I think this is too small to be a "midsized" crossover. Usually when "midsized crossover" is mentioned, we think of the Porsche Cayenne, Mercedes-Benz GLE or BMW X5.
Those are full-size SUVs tf you mean😂mid sized crossovers are stuff like the Porsche macan, the Audi Q5, the mercedes GLC or BMW X3
@Afraz_9n3 it depends on where you are, but in most parts of the world (particularly in Africa) where we majorly use cars designed for use in America and the Middle East, the X3, GLC and Q5 are regarded as compact crossovers. If you call those midsized, then what would you call something like the Lexus LX570?
@@damilolaakanni in Europe and UK the Q5 X3 and glc are mid sized. We don't have the road space of America or the middle east and so we don't have those oversized American style SUVs. Hell on our roads the GLE barely fits. Which also answers your last question we would class something like the lx570 or land cruiser 300 series as an oversized American style SUV aka land yachts😂
Has anyone thought about how many Macans they see daily vs how many Grecale or Maserati in general?
Maserati isn’t trying to put a Maserati in every drive way. It’s for people who can appreciate timeless design and luxury.
new Tiguan R line is 70K just for reference
Is it just me or that we have had enough of touchscreen controls. Are we driving a car or a tablet.🤑
Ngl. If you put a Kia logo on the front and told me it was a Kia id believe you
Model???
Another maserati people say they love and yet no one buys
I love her ❤
Looks like a Ford Escape
many are predicting a 50% drop in value i two years... lemme save this vid abd comeback to jt in 2yrs to see if thy were right..
WHATSUPP WTH THE HANDS ?...😂😂
I can't watch her because of it - just not stop flailing around, and I've said this before!
Nice car. Not a SUV guy. But, Europeans do them way better than the US or even the Asian automakers.
The best looking and most expensive... Ford Puma you can find ;)
Sorry, I do love the brand. Maserati is special... but it does look like Puma!
Button to open door in a Maserati...what could go wrong?
That was my first thought when she showed it :D
Sensible money doesn't give you the 2 ltr version. _It makes you want to go out and buy the German equivalent._
🤌🤌 Molto bello! 😂
Looks like a Ford Puma! (A £100K one at that 🤯)
Like the lovechild of Puma and Macan
Pumas look way cooler
Don't you mean Kuga?
So does the Macan then I guess
Never heard that one before 🙄🙄🙄
In 3 years, after 60% depreciation, its going to be great for a few years until stuff starts breaking.
It's a brand new model how do you know? just old clichés and preconceptions.
There is only one rule in life
Never sell ur Porsche for a Maserati
Oh really?? you mean a VW engine for a Ferrari engine! seriously?
Porsche is not a standard VW engine and yes I will take an engine that doesn’t break down that often. Stop painting Audi and Porsche as VW, difference is night and day
@@rehmankhan0398 Lamborghini is also VW
You'd have to be daft to get this over Macan.
Why????
Neither BMW or Mercedes can be compared to Maserati, yes you might get a GLE for the price of a Gracale Modena, but when you get a Maserati you don't get to touch oe see the cheap and scratchy plastic by the door handle in the GLE. That's what you can call a premium life style
nice italian flavor
Alex❤🎉
Let’s face it, it’s a Maserati there’s a good chance something electrical will fail.
She is just asking for a jus cm longer..not a inch.. please understand..
Niche halo marketing car, in a segment that’s disappearing fast. I’d rather have a model Y and a roadster for sunny days, and cash in the bank
The design looks nice but this thing is extremely overpriced
😂 so true 👍💯
People would rather spend £100,000 on a Porsche that will work every day..
People would rather spend £100,000 on a Ferrari-derived engine than a VW-derived engine LOL.
Porsche works every day? 😂
Rather it’s someone else working every day on your Porsche 😊
@@lucasworktv 😂😂 true
Just buy a Stelvio.
Stelvio is old and interior is cheap
Nope the interior is poor quality
why is she comparing this to a Macan ? This is clearly a Cayenne fighter.
the frontlights are so bad the rest is quite nice
The title is dumb. Ain’t nobody ever seeking a Macau for Maserati.
Nice car but sell my Macan GTS for this..?! ABSOLUTELY NOT!! People say the Macan is expensive and this is 20k more, and yet doesn’t drive/handle as well. Sorry but hard pass for me.
A fancier Quadrifoglio.
Exhaust note is NOT like Maseratis of old. Buy a used Macan GTS and spend the rest on a luxury holiday in Italy!
It’s very very similar to Alfa Stelvio quadrifoglio which I own and drive since 2years. Macan is much more civilised has much less space inside and it’s just boring to drive and to look at 🤌🏻
I will take the Stelvio any day!! Reasonably priced - same platform and engine range!
Who needs Carbon Fibre anyway.
I would tale one with 3-liter diesel...if there would be one 🤷
the rear almost looks like a Newer ford escape
If only everything is 1 centimeter longer.
Yet another expensive, under-specced Euro that still doesn’t allow driver and passenger to select different fan speeds for the aircon. Tragic.
Looks too similar to a ford puma from the front! Such a shame as it looks nice inside
half off in 2 years just wait.
@andrefrbk
This. 💯
They’re quite good build quality light years ahead of previous- with 2 years depreciation they would make a very good used buy for 3-4 years
9:45 did you mention a shitty poor build tesla in this comparison ?! You drunk ? 😂😂😂
Has a petrol engine, makes a change from all the Electric vehicles being pushed by manufacturers at the moment, including Rolls Royce. Winner, but £100.000???????
Mid size??? European sizes are way too small. Then again, everything in Europe is smaller.
