Meanwhile, all Maserati models will be available in the electric version by 2025, Maserati executives said.
Grequer will also be available on high-performance V6 engines or 4-cylinder engines with mild hybrid systems. The gas-powered version of the SUV is Released later this year. An all-electric version called Grequer Forgore will be available next year.
The Grequer is smaller than the Levante SUV, which accounted for 59% of Maserati’s worldwide sales last year. Like Levante and Ghibli sedans, Grequer was named after the wind. Grequer is pronounced gre-CAH-leh and is easterly.
Electric Grecale Folgore will be part of a long-term plan for Italian luxury brands to move to selling only electric vehicles. (Folgore means “lightning bolt” in Italian.) Maserati has announced a move to a full electric lineup, following many other luxury car brands, including Bentley and Jaguar. For Maserati, the shift is a bit surprising given the brand’s strong identity with the jarring metallic sound of an internal combustion engine, usually manufactured by Ferrari.
Maserati recently began production of a new MC20 supercar with a 630-horsepower V6 engine designed and manufactured by Maserati. The $ 216,000 MC20 is the only current Maserati model with a non-Ferrari engine.
The high-performance Grecale Trofeo will be equipped with a 523 horsepower version of the MC20 engine. According to Maserati, the SUV can travel from 0 mph to 60 mph in 3.6 seconds, with a top speed of 177 mph.Maserati has not yet released figures for the horsepower or performance of the electric Grecale Folgore
The 4-cylinder Grecales are equipped with a mild hybrid system to improve fuel economy and performance. The Grequere Modena has a 325 hp version of the system, and the base model Grequel GT has a 296 hp version. Prices for the Grequer GT start at $ 63,500 in the United States. Maserati does not offer prices for other versions. These gas-powered versions of Grequer will be available later this year.
Launched in 2023, the Grecale Folkore will be Maserati’s second all-electric model. The first is the all-electric 1,200 horsepower Gran Turismo Forgoa, a new version of Maserati’s two-door, four-seat sports car. Maserati has only published images of dimly lit cars.
A completely redesigned new version of the Quattroporte In a presentation, Maserati CEO Davide Grasso said the sedan and Levante SUV (including the all-electric version) will be introduced by 2025. The smaller Ghibli sedans will be discontinued as the market interest in sedans is no longer sufficient, he said. An all-electric version of the MC20 supercar will also be available by then.
Maserati is part of Stellantis, a global automotive conglomerate formed last year, including Dodge, Jeep Peugeot, Citroen and Fiat. Carlos Tavares, CEO of Stellantis, is skeptical about the effectiveness of promoting a broader automotive industry for electric vehicles when it comes to actually mitigating global warming. He believes that offering an electric vehicle has little effect, he said in a recent interview with CNN Business: cleaner energy, more widely available charging infrastructure, and cheaper. Mentioned when there is no widespread movement to a good battery. Anyway, he said Stellantis is electrifying for industry trends and what government regulations demand.
“It’s a story of pure competition,” Tavares said. “And we are competitors.”
