Every Grecale makes a statement, with its compelling blend of sportiness and elegance. But for those who are particularly influenced by contemporary fashion, there is the Grecale GT Hybrid, a dynamic and sophisticated choice with a character all of its own which is reflected in its cutting-edge interior. The GT Hybrid makes a statement with its powertrain, too, pairing a 296bhp four-cylinder 2.0-litre engine with a 48-V mild hybrid, for reduced fuel consumption but with no compromise in the performance you would expect of a Maserati, as demonstrated by a 0-62mph time of 5.6 seconds. The sense of style is highlighted by 19” alloy wheels (20” or 21” are available as options), body-colour bumpers and side skirts, front grille inserts in brushed chrome and dual chrome-plated exhausts, while the Bronzo Opaco launch colour has been specially selected to provide a striking contrast to the chrome.
Inside, all versions of the Grecale come with four screens – the classic cluster and a new central 12.3” panel, a smaller 8.8” comfort panel with extra controls and a new digital clock. Classic Italian craftsmanship is highlighted in the materials and finishes: the dashboard stitching takes up the double saddle style, as in the Levante, Maserati’s other SUV. Tremendous attention has been paid to the detailing, such as the laser-cut metal grilles for the new Sonus faber sound system’s tweeters and mid-range speakers, or the chrome-plated finish of the digital smartwatch, the central air vents and the drive mode selector. All this is complemented by some unique touches in the GT Hybrid, including a Saffiano leatherwork-inspired leather dashboard insert and leather upholstery that is available in rich chocolate or sophisticated greige as an alternative to black.
