SpeedSUVs.com — The 2027 Maserati Grecale refresh introduces key updates to the luxury crossover segment, aiming directly at buyers looking for traditional internal combustion performance as rival models like the Porsche Macan shift away from gas engines. Featuring refined exterior accents and a restructured trim lineup, the latest Grecale consolidates its appeal with increased standard power and a revised entry point.
Standard Twin-Turbo V-6 Power Across the Lineup
For the 2027 model year, Maserati continues the major shift initiated in 2026 by completely eliminating the previous base four-cylinder engine. All three gas-powered Grecale trims now feature a version of the brand’s twin-turbo Nettuno V-6 engine. The bottom two trims produce 385 horsepower, while the top-tier Trofeo model boosts performance significantly to 523 horsepower.
Refined Exterior Styling and Pricing Structure
Design enhancements for 2027 include sharper styling touches across both the front and rear exterior fascias, complemented by subtle minor updates inside the cabin. To broaden its market reach, Maserati has introduced a new base trim priced under $80,000, making the twin-turbo V-6 crossover more accessible to prospective luxury SUV buyers.
Pros and Cons
- Pros: Powerful twin-turbo Nettuno V-6 engine comes standard across all gas trims; accessible sub-$80,000 entry price point; updated exterior styling offers a sharper aesthetic; serves as an appealing gas-powered option for Macan shoppers.
- Cons: Eliminates the four-cylinder option for buyers seeking an alternative powertrain setup; notable performance step-up requires upgrading to the significantly more powerful 523-hp Trofeo trim.
Verdict
The 2027 Maserati Grecale presents a balanced package of refreshed styling, potent standard V-6 performance, and competitive pricing under $80,000. It offers a strong case for drivers seeking a distinct, high-powered luxury crossover in a changing market landscape.
