2025 Maserati Grecale VS 2024 Model Year: A Comparison

The Maserati Grecale continues to define the premium compact SUV segment, combining Italian elegance, versatile performance, and refined design. This year, Maserati introduces subtle updates to the lineup while maintaining the vehicle’s distinctive character that has captivated drivers since its introduction. 

What’s New for 2025?

 

The Maserati Grecale brings several updates to the lineup while preserving the essence that made last year’s model desirable. The most notable changes include:

 

• A new base trim level simply called “Grecale” sits below the Modena in the lineup
• Expanded colour palette with five exciting new exterior finish options
• Enhanced customization options through the Fuoriserie program
• Refined interior appointments with additional material choices
• Updated technology features for improved connectivity and convenience

 

While these changes may appear subtle at first glance, they demonstrate the Maserati commitment to continuous refinement rather than radical redesign.

 

Trim Levels and Lineup Structure

 

The previous Grecale lineup began with the Modena as the entry point. This year, Maserati has expanded the range to offer more choice:

 

2025 Lineup:

 

• Grecale – The new base trim providing a more accessible entry point
• Grecale Modena – The mid-level trim focusing on sporty performance
• Grecale Trofeo – The high-performance flagship with V6 power
• Grecale Folgore – The all-electric variant offering sustainable luxury

 

2024 Lineup:

 

• Grecale Modena – Previously the entry-level trim
• Grecale Trofeo – The performance-oriented variant
• Grecale Folgore – Introduced last model year

 

The addition of the base Grecale trim for this year represents a strategic move to broaden the model’s appeal while maintaining its distinctive character, which sets it apart from European competitors.

 

Performance and Powertrain

 

The new Grecale maintains the powertrain options from the previous model year, with a notable exception for the new base trim.

 

2025 Powertrain Options:

 

• Base: 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder with mild hybrid technology generating 325 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque (North American specification)
• Modena: 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder with mild hybrid technology producing 325 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque
• Trofeo: 3.0L twin-turbocharged V6 derived from the MC20 supercar, delivering 523 horsepower and 457 lb-ft of torque
• Folgore: Dual electric motors generating a combined 542 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque

 

2024 Powertrain Options:

 

• Modena: 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder with mild hybrid technology producing 325 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque
• Trofeo: 3.0L twin-turbocharged V6 delivering 523 horsepower and 457 lb-ft of torque
• Folgore: Dual electric motors generating a combined 542 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque

 

It’s worth noting that while most markets receive a detuned 296-horsepower version of the 2.0L engine in the new base Grecale, North American models benefit from the full 325-horsepower output – identical to the Modena trim. This ensures that even the entry-level Grecale delivers the engaging driving experience expected from a Maserati.

 

Exterior Design and Colours

 

The exterior design of the Grecale remains largely unchanged, maintaining the distinctive styling that blends the Maserati heritage with modern SUV proportions.

 

2025 Updates:

 

• Five new colour options expand the palette:
  •   Blu Pastello
  •   Giallo Genio Gloss
  •   Dark Aurora Boreale
  •   Gold Venus
  •   Digital Aurora Matte
• New base Grecale features 20-inch wheels instead of the 21-inch diamond-cut wheels found on the Modena
• Expanded Fuoriserie customization program with new Spring Collection featuring bold colour combinations

 

2024 Features:

 

• Signature Maserati grille with trident emblem
• Sleek LED headlights
• Sculpted body lines
• Available 21-inch wheels on Modena and larger trims
• Triple side air vents – a Maserati design hallmark

 

The new exterior design updates focus on personalization rather than fundamental changes, allowing buyers more opportunities to create a Grecale that reflects their individual style.

 

Interior Comfort and Technology

 

The Grecale interior continues to balance luxury, technology, and sporty character.

 

2025 Interior Updates:

 

• New seat configurations expand from three to five options
• 11 Fuoriserie seating options, including Premium Leather, Chocolate, and Sport Leader Black Blue

The latest model year offers greater customization potential for the interior without compromising the well-received technology and ergonomics of the previous Grecale.

The introduction of the new base trim creates a more distinct separation of standard features across the range.

 

2025 Base Grecale Standard Features:

 

• 20-inch alloy wheels
• Premium leather upholstery
• 12-way heated comfort seats
• Dual-zone automatic climate control

The Electric Alternative: Grecale Folgore

 

The Folgore represents the Maserati commitment to electrification, continuing from its late introduction into the latest model year with minimal changes.

 

Grecale Folgore Specifications:

 

• Dual electric motors producing 542 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque

As the first all-electric Maserati SUV, the Folgore maintains its position as a premium EV option that doesn’t sacrifice the brand’s performance heritage.

 

Driving Experience and Performance

 

The driving dynamics that defined last year’s Grecale continue, with the new base trim offering a slightly different character.

 

2025 Grecale Driving Characteristics:

 

• New base model offers the same powerful engine as the Modena, but with standard suspension instead of adaptive dampers
• Less aggressive tire specification on 20-inch wheels may provide a more compliant ride
• Absence of limited-slip differential in the base trim may result in less aggressive handling at the limit
• Trofeo continues to offer supercar-derived performance with 0-100 km/h acceleration in 3.8 seconds
• Folgore delivers instant electric torque with refined, silent operation

 

2024 Grecale Driving Characteristics:

 

• Modena entry model featured adaptive suspension and limited-slip differential as standard
• Trofeo delivered track-capable performance with MC20-derived V6
• All models balanced comfort and performance in the Maserati tradition

 

While the new lineup expands choices, the character of each continuing trim level remains consistent with that of the previous model year.

 

Customization Options

 

Personalization options expand significantly for the new Grecale compared to last year’s model.

2024 Customization Options:

The expanded customization program allows buyers to create a more personalized Grecale, reflecting individual preferences and style.

 

2025 Maserati Grecale: Evolution Not Revolution

 

The new Maserati Grecale represents a thoughtful evolution of the previous model rather than a dramatic redesign. The introduction of a new base trim expands accessibility while preserving the Maserati experience, and the expanded colour and customization options enable greater personalization.

 

For most potential buyers, the decision between last year’s and this year’s model will likely come down to:

 

• Price sensitivity – the new base trim offers a more accessible entry point
• Desire for personalization – expanded colour and interior options for this year 
• Equipment preferences – choosing between the feature sets of various trims

 

The latest Grecale builds upon the strengths that made the previous model compelling, while offering more choices and customization options. Whether touring through urban streets or exploring scenic routes, the Grecale continues to deliver the distinctive blend of Italian design, engaging performance, and refined luxury that sets Maserati apart from its competitors.
