Cut-priced Italian exotica (Maserati Grecale GT 2023 Review)

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

The Maserati Grecale is the most attainable model line from the famed Italian carmaker. And the entry-level GT is the stylish midsize SUV at its most affordable.
But does 221kW turbocharged four-cylinder power befit any machine wearing the Trident badge? And does the Grecale’s budget-conscious pitch deliver on bona-fide luxury expectations curated by an exotic nameplate with 110 years of providence?
The Maserati Grecale lines up against rivals such as Alfa Romeo Stelvio, Audi Q5, BMW X3 and Mercedes-Benz GLC in its pitch as your next premium European family hauler.

    You clearly waited to make this review until Maserati increases their prices. They just got an 10-15% price pump on all Grecale versions. Considering the GT started at 85k euros there no question whether someone would choose a lame Macan over a Grecale

  • @houmandehesh740
    @houmandehesh740Ай бұрын

    I own a Grecale: the design of the infotainment is horrific. So is the placement of the gear selectors and the stupid idea to have them as buttons. Right above the touch screen for the climate control. These design flaws wear you down over the time. Have you heard the three chimes when you start the car? The accept button every time? Do you like the loud sound of the turn signal? The audio mute also doesn't hold. Any messages on CarPlay make the stereo come back on etc etc etc so many bugs. Sadly there is a reason Porsche sells 4x more Macans than the entire annual production of Maserati. Oh and I forgot: good luck giving your car to a valet. You have to give them instructions through the open window
