Maserati has updated three of its most important models. The GranTurismo, GranCabrio, and Grecale get fresh styling, upgraded technology, enhanced driving dynamics, and expanded powertrain options.
While each model serves a different purpose within the Trident’s portfolio, they share a common goal – combining luxury, performance, and everyday usability in a way that remains distinctly Maserati. From high-performance V6 engines to advanced electric powertrains, the updated range reflects the Italian marque’s continued evolution as it balances its grand touring heritage with an increasingly electrified future.
GranTurismo: The Modern Grand Tourer
The GranTurismo remains the purest expression of Maserati’s grand touring philosophy. First introduced in 2007 and completely redesigned in 2022, the latest version builds on that foundation with a series of aerodynamic, technological, and design enhancements.
At first glance, the changes are subtle. The front fascia has been redesigned with new air intakes and an optimized air-curtain system that improves airflow around the wheels. A revised front splitter increases downforce, while new clear-lens taillights refresh the rear-end appearance. Maserati has also introduced new wheel designs that widen the track by 10 mm, improving stability and cornering precision.
Inside, the updates focus on elevating both luxury and usability. A new racing-inspired steering wheel, redesigned digital clock, revised controls, and updated graphics for the infotainment system create a more modern environment. The cabin is anchored by a 12.3-inch central display, an 8.8-inch comfort screen, a 12.2-inch digital instrument cluster, and a head-up display. A new driver-monitoring system can also detect distraction and fatigue, providing visual and audible alerts when necessary.
Under the hood, Maserati continues to rely on its Formula 1-inspired Nettuno 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V6. Buyers can choose between a 490-CV version focused on luxury and grand touring comfort, or the more aggressive 590-CV Trofeo, which adds performance-oriented upgrades including an electronic limited-slip differential, sports exhaust, forged wheels, and exposed carbon-fiber trim.
The headline-grabber, however, remains the GranTurismo Folgore. Maserati’s all-electric grand tourer utilizes an 800-volt architecture and a three-motor setup producing a continuous 760 CV to the wheels. The system’s installed power exceeds 1,200 CV, while advanced torque vectoring helps maximize traction and agility.
Performance remains central to the Folgore experience. Maserati says the electric coupe can reach a top speed of 325 km/h, making it one of the fastest EV grand tourers on the market. Its 92.5-kWh battery pack uses a unique T-shaped layout that helps keep the center of gravity low while preserving the car’s sleek proportions. Thanks to aerodynamic refinements, improved thermal management, and new efficiency strategies, driving range has been increased to up to 540 kilometers.
GranCabrio: Open-Air Performance
For those who prefer their grand touring with the roof down, Maserati has applied many of the GranTurismo’s improvements to the GranCabrio.
The four-seat convertible continues to stand out for offering genuine everyday usability alongside open-air motoring. Despite its focus on performance, Maserati emphasizes that the GranCabrio maintains excellent thermal and acoustic comfort even with the soft top lowered.
Like its coupe sibling, the updated GranCabrio receives redesigned front-end aerodynamics, revised lighting elements, wider-track wheel options, and a more sophisticated interior. The cabin gains the same digital ecosystem, driver-monitoring technology, and racing-inspired steering wheel found in the GranTurismo.
Power comes from the same trio of powertrains. The range begins with a 490-CV Nettuno V6, followed by the 590-CV Trofeo version that adds sportier styling cues, an electronic limited-slip differential, and a performance-focused chassis setup.
The range-topping GranCabrio Folgore brings electric performance to the convertible segment. Equipped with the same 800-volt electrical architecture and three-motor drivetrain as the GranTurismo Folgore, it delivers 760 CV to the wheels and benefits from advanced torque vectoring technology.
While slightly less aerodynamic than the coupe, the GranCabrio Folgore still posts impressive figures. Maserati claims a top speed of 290 km/h, making it one of the fastest electric convertibles currently on sale. Its 92.5-kWh battery pack and updated energy-management systems contribute to a driving range of up to 508 kilometers.
Personalization also plays a larger role in the GranCabrio story. Through Maserati’s expanding Fuoriserie program, customers can now customize the fabric roof itself, allowing owners to create a more distinctive specification than ever before.
Grecale: The Everyday Maserati
While the GranTurismo and GranCabrio represent Maserati’s grand touring heritage, the Grecale serves as the brand’s most versatile model.
Launched in 2022, the luxury SUV has quickly become a cornerstone of the Maserati lineup, bringing the brand’s performance DNA into a package designed for daily use. Whether it’s school runs, commuting, or long-distance travel, the Grecale aims to deliver the practicality expected from an SUV without sacrificing the character of a Maserati.
The latest update expands the lineup to six variants: Grecale, Modena, Grecale V6, Modena V6, Trofeo V6, and Folgore.
A key strength remains the vehicle’s spacious interior. Maserati highlights generous accommodation for both front and rear passengers, a large cargo area, and flexible seating arrangements that make the Grecale one of the most practical vehicles in its segment. Premium materials such as leather, wood, and carbon fiber continue to define the cabin, while a redesigned gear selector and new steering wheel improve day-to-day usability.
The powertrain range is broader than ever. Entry-level models utilize a mild-hybrid four-cylinder engine producing between 250 and 330 CV depending on market and specification. New V6-powered variants raise output to 390 CV, giving customers access to more performance without stepping into the flagship model.
At the top of the lineup sits the Trofeo V6, which produces 530 CV from a Nettuno-based twin-turbocharged engine featuring Formula 1-derived pre-chamber combustion technology. Maserati claims a 0-100 km/h time of just 3.8 seconds and a top speed of 285 km/h, making it one of the quickest SUVs in its class.
The Grecale Folgore completes the lineup with a fully electric alternative. Powered by a 550-CV electric drivetrain and 400-volt architecture, it brings Maserati’s electrification strategy into the luxury SUV segment while maintaining the brand’s emphasis on performance and driving engagement.
A Broader Vision for Maserati
Taken together, the updated GranTurismo, GranCabrio, and Grecale demonstrate Maserati’s commitment to evolving its lineup without abandoning the qualities that define the brand.
Whether it’s the 325-km/h GranTurismo Folgore, the open-air thrills of the 290-km/h GranCabrio Folgore, or the everyday versatility of the 530-CV Grecale Trofeo, each model remains rooted in the same philosophy: blending Italian luxury, distinctive design, and engaging performance into a uniquely Maserati experience.
As the automotive industry continues its shift toward electrification, Maserati appears determined to prove that the grand touring spirit can thrive regardless of what powers the wheels.
