This controls all vehicle dynamics (vertical, longitudinal and lateral) with precise targets and timing for all the major actuators, reducing intervention times while also increasing performance, driving pleasure and safety.
Depending on variant, you’ll either get passive dampers (standard on the GT), adaptive Skyhook dampers (standard on the Modena and optional for the GT) or air suspension (standard on the Trofeo and optional for other variants).Īnother key system is the Vehicle Dynamic Control Module (VDCM), which is an evolution of the Chassis Domain Control Module (CDCM) found in the MC20. Maserati also worked with Sonus faber to develop a 3D sound system for the SUV, which comes with 14 (standard) or 21 speakers (High Premium).Īs for the mechanical aspects of the Grecale, the SUV features double wishbones at the front and a multi-link setup at the rear. Rear passengers will also have touchscreen to fiddle with at the end of the centre console, which serves to adjust climate settings – the Grecale comes with a three-zone climate control system and rear vents. Taking its place where an analogue clock would usually be, the digital clock does more than just tell the time, as it can also display a compass, G-force meter and emitting a visual response signal when a voice command is issued.

Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are also included, as is the Maserati Connect telematics system.Ī less obvious display is the digital clock that is placed on the dashboard above the wide-width air vents, which is the first for a Maserati.
These are linked to MIA (Maserati Intelligent Assistant), which is an infotainment system based on Google’s Android Automotive OS.Īs you would expect, the Grecale’s infotainment system comes with a wide array of connectivity options – via Maserati Connect – and other features such as the ability to set five different user profiles and their preferred vehicle settings, as well as connect two smartphones via Bluetooth. Inside, you’ll find no less shortage screens, including a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster as well as a centre 12.3-inch touchscreen system that sits above an 8.8-inch ‘Comfort’ touchscreen. The clusters themselves are linked by a trim piece on the tailgate, while further down, there’s a diffuser element set between the exhaust outlets.
Moving to the rear, you’ll find two-piece taillights that are styled to be reminiscent of another Maserati model, the 3200 GT, with slim clusters that are extended visually by strong creases leading to the rear wheels. Rounding up the front fascia are prominent creases on the bonnet and large intake openings in the lower portion of the apron. The grille insert is made up of concaved bars, which are chrome-plated for the base GT variant, while the mid-range Modena and range-topping Trofeo (seen here) options have theirs in black instead.Įlsewhere, the headlamp clusters are stretched vertically to suit the SUV and bear a similar daytime running light signature to the MC20. Up front, the Grecale’s protruding nose and wide grille are inspired by the MC20, which is the first model to showcase the brand’s new styling direction. The generous wheelbase is clear to see when the vehicle is viewed from the side, with other notable cues being a sloping roofline, discreet door handles and signature Maserati touches like the triple vents on the front fenders along with trident emblems on the C-pillars. Parked side by side, the German SUV isn’t as big as the Grecale, measuring in at 4,681 mm long, 1,923 mm wide, 1,624 mm tall and with a wheelbase of just 2,807 mm. Of course, the Grecale doesn’t compete against the Levante, as its main rival is the Porsche Macan. Those dimensions pale in comparison to the Levante, which measures 5,003 mm long, 1,968 mm wide, 1,679 mm and has a wheelbase spanning 3,004 mm. The Grecale is the Italian brand’s second SUV after the Levante that has already gone on sale here, and like its larger sibling and past Maseratis (Mistral, Ghibli, Bora and Khamsin), the new model is named after a wind, specifically the Gregale in the Mediterranean.īuilt on the Giorgio platform, the SUV measures 4,846 mm long, 1,948 mm wide, 1,670 mm tall and sports a wheelbase of 2,901 mm. First revealed back in March this year, the Maserati Grecale has now arrived in Malaysia for a preview organised by official local distributor Naza Italia.
