Launch Date

Price
With a starting price of ₹1.31 crore (about $175,000 USD), the Maserati Grecale sets itself in the ultra-luxury sector when it joins the Indian market. Maserati’s dedication to maintaining its exclusivity and premium brand image in the Indian market is shown in this pricing approach.
Features
The Grecale has a lot of facilities that support its standing as a premium vehicle. The inside of all versions is elegant and features several digital displays, including as a 12-inch infotainment touchscreen and a 12-inch digital instrument cluster. To ensure accurate comfort changes, the temperature control system also comes with an 8-inch display of its own.
As you move up the range, the features become more lavish. The Modena variant adds premium leather interiors and 14-way adjustable sport seats with heating. It also upgrades to a three-zone climate control system for enhanced passenger comfort.
The Grecale’s exterior is as impressive. The GT version has chrome-accented LED headlamps and 19-inch wheels. The Modena upgrades to 20-inch wheels that have svelte black accents. With its striking red brake calipers, aggressive carbon-fiber accents, and 21-inch wheels, the top-tier Trofeo model makes a statement.
The Grecale has a number of powerful engines under its hood. A 2.0-liter, four-cylinder turbo-petrol engine with mild hybrid technology powers the GT and Modena models. In the GT and Modena, this engine generates 300 and 330 horsepower, respectively. The Trofeo version has a 3.0-liter V6 engine that produces an amazing 530 horsepower for people who are in a mindset for additional power.

Future Plans
Maserati isn’t sitting back after its launch of the Grecale. As part of its big dreams to enter the Indian market, the business plans to launch the Grecale Folgore, an all-electric model, in early 2025. It matches with the worldwide automotive sector’s shift towards electrification.
In order to support its expansion in India, Maserati has focused on growing its network of dealerships. The business intends to expand the brand’s availability for buyers of luxury automobiles across the country by opening new stores in important cities like Bengaluru and Delhi.
