Maserati’s first electric SUV will cost more than a Porsche Macan Turbo EV – as well as all petrol Grecales – when it goes on sale on 1 January.
The electric version of the 2025 Maserati Grecale luxury SUV is due on sale in Australia next year, priced from about $200,000 before on-road costs
The Grecale Folgore – Italian for ‘lightning’ – will open for orders on 1 January 2025 as a rival to the new battery-powered Porsche Macan, as well as electric luxury SUVs from the likes of Audi, Cadillac and Mercedes-Benz.
It will be offered through special customer order only, priced from $199,000 plus on-road costs – $9500 dearer than the top-of-the-range petrol Grecale Trofeo ($189,500), and more expensive than the flagship electric Porsche Macan Turbo ($184,400).
Powering Maserati’s first electric SUV are dual 205kW electric motors – one front, one rear – developing 410kW and 820Nm combined, fed by a 105kWh battery pack.
The Italian car maker claims a 0-100km/h acceleration time of 4.1 seconds, a 220km/h top speed, and driving ranges in European WLTP lab testing of 426km to 501km.
DC fast charging at up to 150kW is claimed to enable a 20 to 80 per cent recharge in 29 minutes, while 22kW AC charging is also supported.
For comparison, the cheaper Porsche Macan Turbo has a longer range (up to 591km) and quicker acceleration (3.3sec from 0-100km/h).
Standard features are expected to mirror or build upon the Trofeo, with 21-inch alloy wheels, the Folgore’s unique bumpers, and copper-coloured badges.
Air suspension is set to be standard fitment, with adaptive damping and Brembo front brakes.
Inside, there are power-adjustable front seats with copper stitching, Sonus Faber premium audio, a 12.3-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 12.3-inch instrument display, and a third 8.8-inch touchscreen for the climate controls.
The 2025 Maserati Grecale Folgore is due to open for orders on 1 January next year.
