The Grecale facelift is offered in four petrol variants and one EV
Combustion-powered variants of the Maserati Grecale facelift include the entry-level offering (simply called ‘Grecale’), along with the Modena, Modena V6 and the top-spec Trofeo. Like with the old model, the Folgore continues to be the all-electric version. With the petrol Macan no longer on sale in India, the Grecale’s closest rival is the Porsche Macan EV, which takes on the Folgore directly.

This facelift brings in an MCPura-inspired front end and new wheel designs
The key changes with the Maserati Grecale facelift are at the front. It gets a redesigned bumper and a more pronounced concave grille with a ‘shark-nose’ design inspired by the MCPura supercar. The bumper also gets larger air intakes and air curtains that guide airflow around the front wheel arches.
The Trofeo gets matrix LED headlamps, while the other variants get full-LED units. The Grecale, Modena and Modena V6 ride on 20-inch forged wheels, with a gloss-black finish on both Modenas, while the Trofeo gets 21-inch alloys. The Modena V6 is set apart by yellow brake calipers. All petrol variants get an active sport exhaust, with chrome tips on the entry-level Grecale and black tips on the others. The Folgore gets illuminated black side vents and 20-inch Nembo alloys with copper brake calipers.
Maserati is also offering new 20-inch Asteria and 21-inch Crono wheel designs, along with a new Grigio Lamiera Shiny paint finish through the Fuoriserie programme. The Grecale measures 4,873mm in length, 1,947mm in width and 1,687mm in height. Wheelbase sits at 2,901mm.
Maserati Grecale facelift interior and features
Cabin gets a new steering wheel, digital clock and gear selector
The cabin of the Grecale facelift features a new octagonal steering wheel that’s available in perforated leather or Alcantara, behind which are large aluminium paddle shifters. The digital clock on the dashboard has also been revised, now sporting a new face with a mineral crystal dial and a metal bezel. The gear selector now gets backlit metal buttons with what Maserati calls “capacitive haptic technology”.
Some of the feature highlights in this cabin include the 12.3-inch touch-infotainment system, 8.8-inch lower screen for climate controls, wireless Apple CarPlay & Android Auto and the Maserati Intelligent Assistant (MIA). All variants except the entry-level Grecale get a 14-speaker Sonus faber audio system, three-zone automatic climate control, multi-colour ambient lighting and heated front seats.
The Modena V6 and Trofeo get an Alcantara-wrapped steering wheel, while their cabins feature yellow and red stitching respectively. The Modena V6 also gets 14-way power-adjustable front seats. Meanwhile, a panoramic sunroof is exclusive to the Trofeo. Cabin trims range from Maglia Milano on the Grecale to open-pore wood, piano black and exposed carbon fibre on the others, while the boot capacity is 535 litres on the Grecale, Modena and Folgore, and 570 litres on the Modena V6 and Trofeo.
Buyers can further personalise the Grecale through Maserati’s Officine Fuoriserie programme. Its ‘Collezione’ tier offers curated specifications under two themes. ‘Futura’ brings brighter colours and modern upholstery fabrics, while ‘Corse’ is inspired by classic paint shades, historic liveries and tan leather the ‘Bespoke’ tier lets buyers create their own paint shades and liveries by working directly with the luxury brand’s design team
Maserati Grecale facelift safety features
All variants get multiple airbags and ADAS
Safety kit for the Maserati Grecale facelift includes front, side and curtain airbags, electronic stability control, ISOFIX anchors and front & rear parking sensors. Its ADAS (advanced driver assistance systems) functions include autonomous emergency braking with pedestrian detection, active lane management, blind-spot monitoring, traffic-sign recognition and intersection collision assist. That said, the Folgore facelift misses out on the traffic-sign recognition and intersection-collision assist features.
