Naza Italia unveiled the first Maserati Grecale in Malaysia today, an all-new SUV range from the Italian marque with three engine variants – the Grecale GT, Grecale Modena, and Grecale Trofeo. The Grecale takes its name from a north-easterly Mediterranean wind.

In the Grecale Trofeo, active shock absorbers and air springs are standard but optional in the GT and Modena variants. Also standard in the Grecale Trofeo are Brembo 6-pot brakes in the front and 4-pot at the rear. As a result, the Grecale can get from 100 km/h to 0 in under 40 metres.
EXTERIOR
The Grecale is the first of many to adopt Maserati’s new design language, with headlamps inspired by the MC20 supercar and a taillight design that mimics the 3200 GT from the early 2000s.

It should be noted that the Modena and Trofeo are actually 34 mm longer than the GT variant, with specially designed bumpers and side skirts for a sportier look. Only the Trofeo variant comes with air suspension as standard.
INTERIOR
The interior features a digital clock on the dashboard as its centre piece, the first time in a Maserati. The first-ever digital clock also functions as a compass and G-meter.

The clean minimalist look of the cockpit is also the result of removing most of the physical buttons; almost all the controls are touch-sensitive. A panoramic sunroof can be specified while the doors are opened from the inside using a switch like the new Lexus NX’s e-Latch system.
