Guys trust me I saw one in person and this car is absolutely stunning. It catches your eye like a bright red super car. The size is also much larger in person. It looks small on camera but is definitely as large as a Porsche Macan
I ordered one of these for my wife, in place of a p400 velar HSE that just wasn’t getting built. I didn’t realize it was that quick. Looks even quicker than my 2022 f-pace svr
Maserati doesn't have anything to be ashamed of with this Grecale so I don't understand the "no numbers" thing... Loving the sound of this! Interior looks really good too!
Guys, let's stop saying that this car is inspired by the Puma, it is Ford who drew inspiration from the Maserati design, specifically from the Maserati 3200 GT which is a car from 1998. Obviously the Puma is a consumer car and is much more famous. I can agree that Maserati, which was simply inspired by its classic model, could have avoided betting on this design that has been copied by many, but it remains an original MASERATI design!
Did you really convince yourself that's true? There have been many cars with similar headlight design, nothing groundbreaking about that Maserati. Look at Ferraris and Aston Martins from 60s, or Jaguars, E-type for example, that's where that sort of design originates from. The 3200 GT is just a modern interpretation of that. I could say the same about the DB7 Aston. And no matter what you say, this came after Puma and everyone who sees it first thinks of Puma. To say it's an original Maserati 3200 GT design is a straight up lie, or pure ignorance, you tell me. You're crazy if you think Ford looked at the 3200 gt when designing the Puma :)

It's very strange to me when a brand restricts things like who can review their cars or how you can take measurements etc because eventually a reviewer will get a customer-owned car and do those things, and if it turns out the brands statements weren't accurate then it will be 100x worse.
The Nettuno V6 is still a close relative of a Ferrari engine. As Jeremy Clarkson pointed out in the Giulia QV review, the new Alfa V6 is none other than the Portofino and Roma's V8, with two cylinders chopped off. This new Nettuno V6 is just the latest development of what was already a great V8 and V6 family. The structure of the engine, the positioning of turbochargers, inlets and outlets is very similar and you can tell. The stroke for all these engines is 82mm, while the bore is 86.5 for Ferrari's V8 and Alfa V6, upgraded here to 88mm. (Making a 1.5mm larger bore is not a hard modification, that's what Brabus does on their "900" series of MB V12 engines, one by one, so it's relatively easy to start production of thousands of units with this modification). It's still funny to me that "officially" they want to say they are all different engines, as if it were a bad thing to say you're using a Ferrari-derived engine. Everyone I spoke to in Italy who knows about cars finds that really funny, too.
The Grecale might inherit Continental’s fly by wire brake system from the Stelvio. That explains the (lack of) feeling. It needs some get used to. But if the brakes are the same Brembo from the Stelvio, they’re very efficient and we can trust them alright.
If you have the money to spend Italian luxury cars are so exotic , far much better than all those German inspireless cars. This is car emotion. I would go for the Guilia q4, best sport sedan you can buy now.
Thank you so much I enjoyed this❤...thank you for comments on veteran...I am a prideful graduate of Naval Academy..from 2005 till 2016 i was in Afghanistan. Iraq. Libya Syria yeaman Filipino at Christmas...this past Christmas 2022 I was in gallatin burg for Christmas...just get in from horn of Africa again..last Christmas was magic at Christmas eve. I just wish my beautiful wife was there..I know she was watching over me from heaven
Stava facendo una battuta sulla somiglianza con un nuovo SUV della Ford, che si chiama Puma. Più tardi ha detto che ovviamente scherzava e il richiamo stilistico è alla Maserati 3200GT.
I drove many times the Alfaromeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio and it doesn't falling apart at all and the handle is superb compared to some sport coup cars at he maximum speed as well. It does 3.6 0-100. i don't believe you that the MASERATI doesn't have a good brake, I have never ever tested an Italian car having issue with the brake.
Go and look at Nurburgring times. When it came out, Stelvio became fastest Suv in the world leaving Nissan GTR and Ferrraris behind. After some time Mercedes beat, then came Urus/Q5 with more power as well as latest Cayenne. There is nowhere BMW to be seen, it was left to dust be it competition, xdrive or whatever else. Also, Q5 is out of game and never really was. Volvo and handling? You must be joking, right?
It's impossible to better review this Trofeo, I am impressed, for GOOD and for BAD, I am a Maserati's customer, have driven and tested all the models (including Trofeo's versions) in the past and just yesterday the Grecale Trofeo. Yes, the front reminds a Puma, but is bigger and more aggressive, we can avoid that, unfortunately, not the brakes issue, they are s....t, SORRY for being so rude!!!! Maserati, please, react, urgently, or you will lose your real DRIVERS for 'boulevard' ones, pity for the model and brand, and for me, no chance for buying this car, not with these brakes, when is such a good, exclusive and refined product.
Speed seems electronically limited like on Giulia Q4 (2 litres 4x4 not Quadrifoglio) I let modified this setting to 258 km/h or 160 mp/h (I do not modified the car just the limiter to be aligned with common 250/155 value)
The brake pedal in normal use, its basically just a sensor. The feeling you get has nothing to do with the actual braking. It's just simulated. I had the chance to drive this car, and i can confirm it feels kinda weird
Fine test - but I do not understand, when you selecting "Drive" why find a (stupid) "button", when pulling right hand shift paddel can do the same thing - as you can do in other italian cars with shift paddels?
This is pricier than a Macan GTS but the thing is it will depreciate faster than a falling rock, in 5 years a brand new Corolla will be more expensive than a 5 years old Grecale. Can't wait for the day these scam artists shut their doors for good, they've been playing the unreliability game for quite a while now.
If you compare it with the Stelvio QV, for which you say (as 100's of other CarRUclipsrs/journalists) that it is the best handling SUV (i asume also better then the Macan): How is the handling in the Grecale comapred with the Stelvio? Ok, we know that the plattform is the same and the engine and gearbox also, but the Grecale weigts 150 kg (!) more. Do you feel that in the handling and braking?
Very impressed with this car but I would never pull the trigger being an SUV and not that cool looking. I work at an alfa deealer and its very hard to sell them, but god, they do look pretty when they arrive
max, when you do your walk about of cars, you should hold your camera lower down, not keep it strapped to the top of your head, because we don't get a good view of the details, it looks like we are looking at it from the sky (I believe you are quite tall, so that doesn't help)
no dai, a stile un macan le da 10 a 0 esteriormente. dentro è molto bella invece, ed ha un gran motore per fortuna, altrimenti sarebbe stato l'ennesimo flop annunciato
EXACTLY, these American/Japanese/Koreans have all modified original ITALIAN designs from decades ago from multiple ITALIAN brands then these dodos all claim Italians copied from them, in fact these countries have used Italian designers also. So sick of these repeated BS/claims by reviewers and commenters.
Rate the Grecale Trofeo /10 ⬇️⬇️⬇️
8 but the Stelvio is 9
8
Looks kinda like the chinese copycat cars, where they copy each side of the car from a different company. It has no charachter 4/10
7 since they copied stelvio and the stelvio looks bettet
for the price like 6.5/10. Stevio Quad is like 8.5/10
Guys trust me I saw one in person and this car is absolutely stunning. It catches your eye like a bright red super car. The size is also much larger in person. It looks small on camera but is definitely as large as a Porsche Macan
I ordered one of these for my wife, in place of a p400 velar HSE that just wasn’t getting built. I didn’t realize it was that quick. Looks even quicker than my 2022 f-pace svr
You're living the life man I aspire to be as successful as you
Yeah I doubt it’s any quicker than your f-pace, but it is quick
A man of exquisite taste 🤌🏻 I have an Audi S5, but I wish I could afford an F-Pace SVR.
Wow man you have to be really wealthy. 😊
you have some good taste sir... german suvs have becoming boring by now
Maserati doesn't have anything to be ashamed of with this Grecale so I don't understand the "no numbers" thing...
Loving the sound of this! Interior looks really good too!
Because obviously they don’t want you to know it’s slower than it’s competition
Actually it's faster, and it might compete with a higher category of suvs
@@SenszR Max said it's faster than the Stelvio QV! 😅
@@SenszR lol, keep telling yourself that
@@R8andGT3Fan it’s also a press car though remember

One of the best interiors I've ever seen. The exterior though unfortunately is a lot less inspired for a Maserati. Much prefer the levante look
it's actually inspired by the look of the 3200 gt which is 10 years old. the look is truly the original maserati
This cars better than peeps give it credit for, it’s an exotic SUV that devs to over 7K rpm and hauls ass, I like it
Volume button is on the back of the steering wheel love. This car is superb, the headlights match the gran turismo and mc20.
If you have the money to spend Italian luxury cars are so exotic , far much better than all those German inspireless cars. This is car emotion. I would go for the Guilia q4, best sport sedan you can buy now.
Italians cars are the best, no competition
And all Carbrands from Stellantis
Until they break... a day after buying them.
Not even close, but Maserati is doing nice things nowadays

@AutoTopnl grecale doesn’t mean puma, grecale is a wind that blows north-east (was called like that because it came from Greece)
😂 I wasn’t entirely serious

@AutoTopNL that bad girl just hit 295 bruh 🔥🔥
Fiat groupe and slow downshifts = perfect love story
Great job
From france
Keep it up
Nice review, as always. However, that head turn on 15:02, with 230 km/h... Man, that's dangerous.
empty road infront and experienced driver. but yea I would never do that myself

10/10 for sure
Macan is worse handling Stelvio, Stelvio is sharpest at it’s category SUVs
You've clearly never driven a Macan.
Driven both, own one as well so see you later kido
Handling wise the order is this: Macan>BMW X3>Stelvio>Q5>Jaguar/Volvo/Mercedes
Go and look at Nurburgring times. When it came out, Stelvio became fastest Suv in the world leaving Nissan GTR and Ferrraris behind. After some time Mercedes beat, then came Urus/Q5 with more power as well as latest Cayenne. There is nowhere BMW to be seen, it was left to dust be it competition, xdrive or whatever else.

*Urus/Q8
Grecale is a name of the wind that comes from the northwest in the mediterranean!

Thank you for pronouncing it right 👍
Puma could be the Grecale bought by wish. The Grecale is a beautiful car! My wife loves it!
👍 Awesome Meserati Awesome Car 👍
*Maserati
I like the ford puma😊
Beautiful fast feeling Car I love it
Thanks for the "Puma" reference , I just can't Unsee it now . 😅
But the Puma is really inspired by older Maserati. Just search about a 3200GT or whatever. That's just Maserati proper design the Grecale have.
Once you see one in person you'll see they are pretty different actually
The brake pedal in normal use, its basically just a sensor. The feeling you get has nothing to do with the actual braking. It's just simulated. I had the chance to drive this car, and i can confirm it feels kinda weird
I have a 2022 Stelvio Quad now but once this bad boy hits ~45k miles, the Grecale Trofeo is next.
Beautiful Maserati ❤
Ford Puma original one is actually a great drivers car!!
Grecale is a wind, like previous Shamal, Ghibli, Bora etc. They've been naming their cars after winds for the last 50 years
Great car!Very impressive speed!
Very impressive !
Perfect car😍😍
Fine test - but I do not understand, when you selecting "Drive" why find a (stupid) "button", when pulling right hand shift paddel can do the same thing - as you can do in other italian cars with shift paddels?
I really like the Grecale
I loved so much your videos about the Dodge Challenger that i bought one 2 weeks ago 😜
SRT8 6.4 L 💨💨💨
I need one!
simply an epic car
18:04 Hahahahaha How many times I have seen myself with friends in the same situation hahaha of course about 100km slower 😂😂😂
Better then a Macan GTS for less money... It's a bargain !!! Did I mention the crazy sound of this beast... OUUFFF
This is pricier than a Macan GTS but the thing is it will depreciate faster than a falling rock, in 5 years a brand new Corolla will be more expensive than a 5 years old Grecale.
Can't wait for the day these scam artists shut their doors for good, they've been playing the unreliability game for quite a while now.
@@redademe where are you from
USA ?
620 are Nm of Torque.
Power of the engine is 530 HP
when you do walkarounds, can you use a camera without that FOV?
If you compare it with the Stelvio QV, for which you say (as 100's of other CarRUclipsrs/journalists) that it is the best handling SUV (i asume also better then the Macan):
How is the handling in the Grecale comapred with the Stelvio? Ok, we know that the plattform is the same and the engine and gearbox also, but the Grecale weigts 150 kg (!) more. Do you feel that in the handling and braking?
Like the red interior
Italian baby 🇮🇹
That video is my christmas gift !
I have not more :(
Very impressed with this car but I would never pull the trigger being an SUV and not that cool looking. I work at an alfa deealer and its very hard to sell them, but god, they do look pretty when they arrive
Looks much better than Levante
Song that played was called “crazy” by a band called Ice house
Sonus Faber 😮 nice, never knew that the made car HiFi..
Finally a more modern interior for Maserati! Looking forward for the electric version!
On the interior side of things, this is what the Alfa Romeo Stelvio should've been/looked like for the money that they're asking for it 👍
Me listening 'I'm on highway to hell'.. and watching this video... 😵
this is a Spaceship.Merry Christmas everyone from ROMANIA🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪
SUVs have come a long way
As a complete package this is better than a Macan GTS tbh
woow I enjoyed this video 👌🏼👌🏼
Good morning 🌻🌞🌅
I was waiting for it
could you test the 2.0 grecale gt or Modena? thanks!
max, when you do your walk about of cars, you should hold your camera lower down, not keep it strapped to the top of your head, because we don't get a good view of the details, it looks like we are looking at it from the sky (I believe you are quite tall, so that doesn't help)
How do you compare it to the stelvio quadrifoglio, just on the ride, engine and gearbox... I know that we cannot compare the interiors ...
Absolutely looks like a Ford Puma, thought exactly the same!
But the Puma is really inspired by older Maserati. Just search about a 3200GT or whatever. That's just Maserati proper design the Grecale have.
Italian don't imitate American Cars
surprised frog face 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Tinted windscreen clean
This is awesome 👏 car , and performance 🎭. But man you have absolutely right to compare face and first look 👀 att the front with that ford puma 😂
Interesante, saltándose todos los límites de velocidad! , en España estas preso 😂😂
wow sound system by sonus faber, interesting!
almost shit my pants with that mercedes van merging left
IMO the rear lights look like Ford Fiesta units, too.
IMO you're blind😅 it is more like a jag style
Max u r best 👍
❤ Maserati ❤
Molto più belle delle auto tedesche
no dai, a stile un macan le da 10 a 0 esteriormente. dentro è molto bella invece, ed ha un gran motore per fortuna, altrimenti sarebbe stato l'ennesimo flop annunciato
The Stelvio Q looks so much better tho, i prefer it. Comparatively affordable as well.
The interior of the Maserati is better
It would je nice if you can do a pov:R8 Performance faeclift model
I like it's engine
Thank you
Love an all red interior. ♥️
Please bring back physical buttons.
you are getting better with italian names...😁
Grecale is not puma... grecale in italian means a wint 💨
Maserati,made in Italy 🇮🇹♥️😉..
Very rev happy engine.. I like a lot 👍
This is how should Maserati look
The Macan has no petrol successor, it would automatically be the best SUV in the D class, but that ridiculous price 😔
Merry Christmas 🎄🎁 to @AtoTopNL and all over the world 🌎.
I hope you all the best Jesus Christ bless you and your family.
