Maserati isn’t exactly selling well, with the 2024 recording a huge sales decline for the Italian automaker. Maserati’s CEO said the brand is safe, but we’re expecting a little change here and there, including some downsizing, to keep the company afloat while Stellantis continues its funding. Apparently, one of the solutions is to offer more affordable versions of its cars, starting with the Grecale for the 2025 model year.

Called simply the Grecale trim, the new watered-down variant sits below the Modena trim in the lineup as the base entry point if you want a small Maserati SUV. While the new base variant is rated at 296 horsepower in almost all countries, North America and South Korea get the more powerful 325-hp version, or the same power plant found in the Modena trim. This is good news if you’re eyeing the base model but don’t want to give up oomph.

New Trim Added And Color Options Updated

The Grecale Modena is fairly equipped, but going for the lower Grecale trim means you won’t get the Matrix headlights, limited-slip differential, adaptive suspension, and 21-inch diamond-cut wheels. Instead, the base variant gets a smaller 20-inch set, while still getting premium leather upholstery and 12-way heated comfort seats. The high-powered Grecale Trofeo and all-electric Grecale Folgore trims are still on offer with better standard features added.

Maserati has also updated the color options for the new model year to 11 options.

New Maserati Grecale Colors

• Blu Pastello
• Giallo Genio Gloss
• Dark Aurora Boreale
• Gold Venus
• Digital Aurora Matte

Of course, there’s Maserati’s Fuoriserie program that offers a multitude of customizations for your Grecale, plus a new Spring Collection that includes bold pairings like Orange Devil exterior, black brake calipers, and Sport Premium Ice/Black leather interior.

Coming To The US, Hopefully Soon

Even without the Fuoriserie program, Maserati claims there are over 2,000 combinations with the Grecale. There are five seat configurations and 11 Fuoriserie seating options, including Premium Leather Chocolate and Sport Leader Black Blue, and six interior finish options – two of them are standard while the other four are custom. There are five types of custom rims available, with five colors available for the brake calipers.

Maserati has started promoting the Grecale in Europe, though the pricing and exact rollout of the 2025 Grecale to other markets, including the US, has yet to be announced. Of note, the Maserati Grecale Modena, the current base model, starts at $76,500 (sans destination and handling), so expect the new base Grecale to be priced under that.
