Naza Italia presents the MY24 Maserati Grecale in both GT hybrid and Trofeo versions, representing the brand’s highly anticipated SUV range that is lauded as “The Everyday Exceptional” with the right balance between versatility, elegance, performance and innovation, while guaranteeing performance, comfort and safety, all at the same time.

The Grecale, which takes its name from a north-easterly Mediterranean wind, is developed at the Maserati Innovation Lab in Modena and produced at the Cassino plant. Launched globally in 2022, it inaugurated a new SUV segment that represents the Trident brand’s fullest range with three engine variants – conventional internal combustion, hybrid and full-electric. 

Mr. Azwan Yahaya, Chief Operating Officer of Naza Italia, expressed: “Naza Italia is proud to bring the MY24 Maserati Grecale to Malaysia. We are pleased to offer the GT Hybrid and the Trofeo variants to our customers, who continue to find excitement and desirability in the Grecale.” He added, “This model embodies the essence of Maserati, combining Italian craftsmanship, innovative technology, and exceptional performance. We are confident that the Grecale will set a new standard in the luxury SUV market.”

The Grecale GT is powered by a four-cylinder mild hybrid engine that is capable of delivering 300 hp. It embodies the brand’s most urban, minimal and contemporary spirit and is well suited to dynamic and curious global citizens who pay attention to fashion, yet have a refined style of their own.

The powerful Trofeo is equipped with a high-performance 3.0L 530-hp petrol V6 based on the Nettuno engine fitted to the MC20, where the car’s disruptive performance becomes the perfect tool to take up any discerned individual’s personal challenge.

In terms of design, the Grecale embraces Maserati’s new visual symbol, which distinguishes every new model since the MC20. The front features a low and imposing grille. The profile is notable for its contrast between purity and technique, with a highly fluid body featuring meandering, visual forms. In the rear, the boomerang taillights are inspired by the Giugiaro 3200 GT and fit in with the trapezoidal line, made even more striking by the coupé effect of the cabin and its finish like a sports car's.

The external look is completed with 20” alloy wheels in the MY24 Grecale, body-colour bumpers and side skirts and front grille insert in brushed chrome. 

The new SUV stands out in terms of spaciousness and comfort, boasting an impressive set of “best-in-class” features, including interior space, driveability, handling, acceleration, sound quality and extensive use of fine materials such as wood, carbon fibre and leather.

Its dimensions are a major factor. In the GT version, Grecale is 4,846 mm long with a generous 2,901mm wheelbase, a height of 1,670 mm, a width of 2,163 mm (including wing mirrors), with a rear wheel track of 1,948 mm. It has made it possible to achieve remarkable roominess in the rear, plus the 535L space in the boot with a flat loading platform, a cargo box under the platform and rear seats that can be folded down by pressing a button in the boot.

The interior is characterised by a sophisticated, unexpected and unconventional environment that draws its inspiration lesser from the automotive sector and more from the world of interior design. The cabin features a Saffiano leatherwork-inspired leather dashboard insert, combined with burnished inserts on the central console and door panel. These are characterised by an unusual laser processing that re-interprets from a Maserati perspective the iconic Maglia Milano, a characteristic of the best jewellery and watchmaking.

Inside the cabin, the standout tech specs include the traditional Maserati clockface. Digital for the first time, it transforms into a veritable in-car concierge, courtesy of voice control.

Everything becomes touch-based, with extreme aesthetic cleanliness. The technology is controlled by the displays: a large 12.3” central screen, the largest ever seen in a Maserati; an 8.8” display for the extra controls; and a third for passengers in the rear seats. An optional state-of-the-art heads-up display is available for the Trofeo version., 

The in-car experience is managed by the Maserati Intelligent Assistant (MIA) Multimedia system, which is a state-of-the-art infotainment from Maserati Connect. **

The in-car sound is pushed to the absolute limits of enjoyment by an all-round sound experience, ensured by the typical Maserati roar and the immersive Sonus Faber 3D sound system, up to 21 speakers. 

Every journey is transformed into a unique adventure, combining dynamic comfort with an unforgettable driving experience, thanks to the extraordinary handling provided by the new, 100% Maserati Vehicle Dynamic Control Module (VDCM) system. The VDCM system, which offers 360° control over the car, now comes as a standard feature with the MY24 Grecale.

The inclusion of complete control translates into a clear distinction between the various DRIVE MODES: COMFORT, GT, SPORT, and OFF-ROAD. This means you can now shift from the most user-friendly mood with utmost comfort to the powerful emotions of extreme responsiveness and potency. Each car now comes equipped with these five modes as a standard.

Maserati Grecale serves as a means to identify yourself as someone who lives audaciously and chooses to always stand out from the crowd. Grecale is an exceptional experience, every day.

The Grecale GT starts at RM 634,889.00, inclusive of local duties and taxes, excluding customizations, road tax, and insurance. Meanwhile, the Grecale Trofeo is priced from RM 1,100,000, also inclusive of local duties and taxes, but excluding customizations, road tax, and insurance. Both models come with a 3-year full Maserati warranty with no mileage restrictions. Buyers have the option to extend the warranty for up to 10 years.
