A more compact model than the Levante, the new Maserati Grecale was developed in Modena but will be produced at the Cassino plant where FCA has invested 800 million euros for the construction of an assembly line. Investment in addition to the 800 million dedicated to the Modenese plant and which is part of the industrial plan for Italy of more than 5,000 million euros. Ready to be marketed in 2021, the new Maserati Grecale was quickly on show during a visit to the Maserati Lab, the development center for all new Trident models, including the new MC20 super sports car. Returning to the Grecale, it will be a D-segment SUV (that is, shorter than the Levante and with an approximate length of 4.75) that will compete with models such as the Porsche Macan. As for engines, thermal units will arrive, with expected powers greater than 500 horsepower and of course also electrified versions. In fact, Maserati’s novelty plan, with 16 new or updated models, 13 of which will be completely new in the next four years, foresees electrified versions for all products in the range. Characterized by a style that emphasizes sportiness and dynamism, according to Maserati technicians, the new Gregale will be able to combine benchmark performance with a large space on board. As for the name chosen, giving cars the names of the most famous winds in the world is a tradition at Maserati. It all started in 1963 with Mistral. Then came Ghibli, Bora, Merak and Khamsin. In 2016, Levante, and now Grecale, an intense Mediterranean wind.
