With a promise to make 'Everyday Exceptional', the Grecale - a new SUV by Maserati - has made its debut in the country through Alfardan Sports Motors, Qatar’s official importer of the legendary Italian auto manufacturer.
The Maserati Grecale made an impressive debut in Doha in the presence of a select audience of media, influencers and VIP customers.


Hamdy Elshantoury, general manager, Middle East and Africa, Maserati, said: “Maserati is embarking on a new era of change with a range of new models, innovations and revolutionary new projects. With its focus now on the future, the Grecale embodies the Italian boldness that defines the Maserati brand and its ability to make luxury and exceptional performance a natural part of everyday life. Therefore, this new SUV is the perfect addition to the Maserati ranger, equipped with an internal combustion engine/hybrid engine and, in the future, an all-electric motor to meet the expectations of all our customers.”
Speaking at the launch, Charly Dagher, general manager of Alfardan Sports Motors, said: “Maserati has always been committed to offering high-quality icons that combine craftsmanship and state-of-the-art technological innovation. Throughout Maserati's history, excellence, sportiness, elegance and Italian engineering have always been the hallmarks of Maserati's DNA. And this sparkling new Grecale model is yet another manifestation and a true embodiment of Maserati's intrinsic values of Made in Italy and its new era.”
With a starting price of QR299,000, the Grecale is available from Alfardan Sports Motors and includes a three-year unlimited kilometre warranty and three year and 45,000km service package on the GT and Modena versions, and up to 60,000km (whichever comes first) on the Trofeo.
Grecale strikes the right balance between versatility, elegance, performance and innovation, guaranteeing performance, comfort and safety, all at the same time. These features are combined with off-road capabilities and uncompromising driving pleasure. Developed at the Maserati Innovation Lab in Modena, the new SUV is produced at the Cassino plant.
An extremely wide range of engines is available on the Grecale: conventional internal combustion, hybrid and, in the future, the first full-electric SUV in Maserati's history.
The different versions of the Grecale are GT, powered by a four-cylinder mild hybrid engine capable of delivering 300hp; Modena, with a four-cylinder 330hp mild hybrid engine; and the powerful Trofeo, equipped with a high-performance 3.0L 530hp petrol V6 based on the Nettuno engine fitted to the MC20. Completing the range will be the Grecale Folgore, the 100% electric version with 400V technology.
The new SUV stands out in terms of spaciousness and comfort, boasting an impressive set of ‘best-in-class’ features. It is best-in-class in terms of interior space, driveability, handling, acceleration (0-100km/h in 3.8 seconds – on the Trofeo), top speed (285km/h – again on the Trofeo), 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 4,846mm long with a wheelbase of 2,901mm, a height of 1,670mm, a width of 2,163mm (including wing mirrors), with a rear wheel track of 1,948mm (and even greater in the Trofeo).
The design of 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 and its technical components highlighted by the use of carbon fibre. 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 coupe effect of the cabin and its finish like a sports car's.
In 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 from the displays: the large 12.3” central screen, the largest ever seen in a Maserati, another 8.8” display for the extra controls and a third for the passengers in the rear seats.
The in-car experience is managed from the Maserati Intelligent Assistant Multimedia system, from the state-of-the-art infotainment and 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. The Sonus Faber system – as standard at Premium level – includes 14 speakers, or 21 speakers on demand at High Premium level.
The engineers at the Maserati Innovation Lab in Modena have worked directly with Italian artist Dardust to design the in-car sound. A joint effort has taken shape in a transfer between technology and sound design, to customise the “chimes” – the sound alerts received by the user as part of the extraordinary driving experience aboard Grecale.
Every journey is transformed into a unique adventure that combines dynamic comfort and an unforgettable driving experience, made possible by the extraordinary handling provided by the new, 100% Maserati Vehicle Dynamic Control Module system and the 360° control it offers over the car. The option of complete control translates into a clear distinction between the various drive modes: Comfort, GT, Sport, Corsa (Trofeo only) and Off-Road.
