2024 Maserati Grecale review: Trofeo | New family SUV brings high-performance edge to take on BMW X3

The 2024 Maserati Grecale is the all-new model that the famous Italian brand is counting on to deliver a significant sales increase thanks to its popular mid-size SUV body-style and relatively low 'entry-level' pricing, meaning it's more accessible to more buyers than any other Trident-wearing vehicle this century.
But being a Maserati, you just know the Grecale won't do things by halves, with it aiming to deliver luxury and performance in equal measure. Case in point: its Trofeo flagship. With a formidable 3.0-litre twin-turbo V6 engine under the bonnet, it means serious business and has the BMW X3 M firmly in its sights.
In this expert review, CarsGuide Deputy Editor James Cleary spends a week with the range-topping Grecale Trofeo to find out if its the SUV we've been waiting for. After all, it promises to be a cracking drive.

Forget the car, gotta appreciate the presentation, detailed, clean, informative and actulaly useful rather than just binge watching
Keep it up Sir.

[@CommissionerGraham]

I seriously dove into this Grecale review headfirst. Can I purchase your voice paired with the jazz soundtrack as a Maserati navigational, upgrade add-on? 🎵🥂

[@ianmedlicott9961]

Does it have Auto Hold or Brake Hold? I cant get any answers.

[@kirkjones6236]

Loving it

[@williamdrijver4141]

Not a fan of touchscreen controls, but it's a good looking SUV.

[@funknick9439]

Did Masarati steal Ford Puma design or the other way around 😂

[@leemace9638]

What is that background music 😂😂😂

[@CommissionerGraham]

I said the EXACT same thing! The jazz soundtrack was an excellent addition to the narrated review. 😂

[@Robin2615]

Ford Puma with a Maserati logo

[@mvnorsel6354]

Short warranty is a concern, roll the dice and hope😅.

[@birreboi]

Agree, let alone the somewhat reliability problems with some past models. There is probably a possibility of extending that warranty - Porsche does that, for example.

[@wolvoman1]

Four years body corrosion warranty, thats terrible.

[@birreboi]

You didn't add that a 8 year corrosion warranty is available if you have the car serviced by authorised dealers.

[@bearmegmoo]

It’s look like the Alfa Romeo Stelvio

[@berns8314]

Only a brand conscious person would buy this terrible car...

[@lejiyoslo]

You drive your perfect Puma 😂
