How has it been reliability wise for you over the last year or so? I'm considering getting one but the long term reliability is a concern for me, thanks.
@@LavshBeatsTMlavishbeats - it has been good overall. Had some electrical niggles earlier on in the year but Maserati were really good together with HR Owen and sorted it out. It hasn't skipped a beat since. If you are getting a maserati that is a heart decision not a head one haha. Looking at the values of the trofeo second hand is quite disheartening but i think if you buy second hand you will be winning. It is a good car. Styling is divisive but it handles really well. In my opinion there are no bad cars out there at the moment they are all plagued with electrical issues because they have overdone it with the number of modules and automations.
@@cyflym Cheers for the reply. Definitely a heart decision haha. Good to hear that it’s been good to you other than those few electrical issues. I’m coming from a 2019 Levante which has given me no end of problems (both electrical and mechanical) so good to hear they are going in the right direction with this model.
Now that's a car. My favourite car I have owned was a 2.5L Petrol V6 and it sounded so good but was not a patch on that nor had the safety of 4 wheel drive. It looks like you had a lot of fun in that.
Loved the video, as always!! We’ve just bought a Trofeo model - absolutely fantastic machine. I get where people are coming from with regards to a ford puma, however, I think there’s bits and pieces in every manufacturer that mirror each other. For me???? It’s all about the brand and that nettuno engine …… mamma Mia 🇮🇹 bloody sublime ❤❤❤❤❤
@@PetrolPed I always love seeing your reaction to the power delivery on some of the cars you've driven over the years! The Trofeo is the latest one to blow you away!!
This has to be the most desirable and special SUV in it's segment right now, the interior is outstanding! Maserati is really back to form! a renaissance it looks like!
Bought a Modena Prima Series, so with all the kit thrown in, in April. Couldn’t afford the Trofeo or the running costs! Interior sold it for me. Agree about the gear selector buttons and indicators. Fast enough for me. Goes well and ride on 21 inch wheels seems good. Come down a size and it is noticeable in handling, but loosing nothing on interior space. Seems to be some software glitches, and hopefully mine will get sorted soon. So far enjoying and a rare sight!
Hi Mike, I am torn between a Macan GTS as the PCP is affordable & the Grecale as it looks superior in finish (No one does leather like the Italians) & a better boot space but…. 330bhp v 440 is my worry. Like you say, unless the Trofeo has a fantastic residual & low rate finance, I fear, like you, it will be too expensive. Please let me know how you get on with 330bhp & a 4 cylinder? Thank you
Thanks for the awesome review 👍 this seems to be a perfect daily / family car. Let's just imagine for a sec... Your GTS Boxter and a Gracale in your Barn 😁...would fit quite well! Excited to see a more in-depth review down the line one day😉 maybe even on a road trip
Come on Pete it's GrEcale, not GrAcale... It's the name of a wind... Coming from Greece (Grecia in Italian). Cheers from Italy from a Spyder owner (and no, the cabin is of equal length! :-P). Love your videos and podcast, keep up the good work!
Wonderful review, very interesting indeed. You have definitely peaked my interest for my new daily .......... Looking up where my nearest Maserati dealership is right now !! ......... Many thanks PP
Ped, please, please test drive the Modena! I commented earlier on your report without watching the full video & turned away from the Grecale but…. Now learning a bit more about it, I would love to know what ‘you’ think of the Modena version. I am meant to be placing an order for a new Macan GTS in September for delivery Summer 24 but this has now really caught my eye. The PCP on a GTS @ circa £78k for my spec is affordable but a £100k for the Trofeo would be ridiculous unless it has a great RV & low rate PCP? The Modena might, might be a fair compromise but 330bhp, I’d need to see your review / test drive 1st please .
Hi Ped Maserati taken the fight to Porsche and the Macan, despite price differentials. Heart would steer towards Maserati but head would go for Porsche. Head to head would make a very interesting video down the line.😉
One of the Hendy boys gave me a bit of a bollocking when I had a moan about Honda outboards and RIB powerboats (my full-time job for over 30 years). Boy, they're jolly brand loyal!!!!!
Hi Pete i am looking to purchase a Grecale soon, i can only afford the GT or Modena. Which one would you recommend as a base model as i would add some extras on them. Thanks.....Paul
Both excellent. Didn’t drive the Modena but the GT is no slouch. Probably a case of speccing both up and seeing what the price difference is. I’d be tempted by the greater power of the Modena 😬
@@PetrolPed I had a Stelvio Quadrifoglio for 4 years and here in the Swiss Alps I wouldn't want a bigger car - so I get your point about feeling small and I say the Levante is too big, as is the GranTurismo. I do know that many Levante owners love the air suspension which the Stelvio doesn't have making the Grecale an interesting proposition... I also had a go in a Trofeo, loved it, but the pricing put me off. I hadn't considered the other models - was surprised by your comments on the GT and maybe the Modena is the one to go for... did you perhaps get to drive one off camera?
Looks really nice Pete, dare I say it.. my 1st thought on seeing it was Porsche Macan. I would imagine Maserati have pushed the boat out in performance terms to ensure nothing similar is on par ....... but Circa 100k, I would be worried about two things if I took one over a Macan..... 1) reliability 2) depreciation. It will be a rarer sight than a Macan though & the interior looks really nice ..... Try for a full Trofeo review 👍🏻
Firstly, I'm a absolute sucker for a dark blue car with a cream interior, so the GT was jaw dropping for me. But that said - I actually preferred the soundtrack to the GT, albeit "enhanced". The six pot was a bit... "meh..." And as you say, 100K? they're just being silly, but no doubt they'll catch a few before they let the price down slowly
@@PetrolPed Gorgeous - they're so after my money... don't tell them I haven't got any 😁 Not so keen on the lack of buttons for stuff though - that "touch screen for everything" boat has sailed, and it now looks lazy (and TBH a bit cheap) - quite apart from being a pain in the wotsit...
Looks great but the gear change buttons are horrendous - hope the manufacturers get it right soon again. Same for all the touch controls - pathetic (hidden) attempt on margin increase in a high price segment.
At the price, I am honestly not sure what the Troffeo is trying to compete with. I just went on to the configurator here in the US and with the options you might want it is $113K, compared to a Macan fully kitted out it just edges $100K. The GT and Moderna I think are comparable with an S Macan. Now Macan is due a face lift when they introduce the EV version in parallel with petrol versions in 6 months to a year and I am sure the price will go up.
Yup. My thoughts exactly. Really it should be a £75-£80k car plus a small amount of optional extras to bring it in at around he same price as a fully kitted Macan. I have just gone on the configurator and ticked pretty much every box and still came in under £100k
To my eyes, better looking than the Porsche Macan and most other rivals. The Italians know how to do flair way better than the rest and the name Maserati is so evocative. I hope this car does well, the Levante was never in the running, lets hope this one is.
If, and it is a very big if, Miss South Africa, who spent her first 32 years in the Kalahari Desert, has her head gasket, polished and ported heads done this Summer……I will demonstrate, in fact you can experience it yourself, how I can sit behind myself. At 6ft 1.7. In a 1970s Alfasud Ti. Ridiculously spacious. I, and she live in Poole 😂
Hmm, I'd rather have a Macan if I was in the market for something like this. I mean most cars are an outrageous price but if I heard that correct, 62k for the base model with a 4 pot 206 bhp? Crackers. The next model up you said has a 'bit' more power? I don't call 50% a bit if its got over 300 bhp? The interior does look good and I'm happy that Maserati is keeping going but it just makes going for something 2 or 3 years old a much better idea.
Take it from a current Modena owner, wait a year before buying into the platform. There are so many issues with it being so new. I’ve had my car for 5 weeks and it’s been in the service center for the past 3 weeks and Maserati cannot fix it. There are going to be tons of software updates and Maserati are not making use of over the air updates so be prepared to spend your life at the dealership. It’s funny how Maserati turn off the key and keyless entry beep sound when giving it to reviewers to review as all the car does is beep to the point where I have been contacted by my HOA about it and received a letter from a neighbor. Don’t get me wrong, it will be a great car but they need to sort out the issues and do something with the price.
Trofeo smells like a new long termer... They should build a Maserati hot hatch based on the Modena and maybe even the Trofeo to compete with M2 and the AMG's.
Interior stunning, exterior an ugly Macan at the front Cayenne at the back. No doubt depreciation will be bad? Good to see you still wearing you IM number proudly 👍
Right…a Troffeo at 6 months, 500 miles and £69,995 might be the answer! Maserati always struggles with depreciation but take a chunk off and it just might make sense…and reward the brave! A nice car…but it might bite you in the wallet! 😬😀😀😀😀Richard
I like the car, but it's Italian and we all that anything Italian will stop working sooner than later. Think of it like an Italian coffee machine it's good for 2 weeks and then you and your mates have a piss up The next morning, you all have Hangovers, and you need your coffee .You walk up to the coffee machine, and it doesn't work You try everything. You even flash yourself at it, but it's no good. Italian cars are not much different.😊😊😊
Dear oh dear. Such confused styling, what a shame. Wants to be a macan at the front and a audi Q8 at the back. At least the levante is reasonably distinctive
Are Maserati for real? £100k when you can have one of the best performance compact SUVs ie the Macan GTS with bullet proof residual values for around £80k as opposed to a £100k for this 😂.. I wouldn’t even bother. At least £20k overpriced 👎
"1 car garage" Sure, if you say so. As with every other premium SUV: a pig in a fancy dress is still a pig. Get an estate if you need a practical car. To all SUV drivers: get out of my lane (the fast one), you are blocking my view!
@@PetrolPed I disagree. It cannot park in a small city-spot like the Mini Cooper. And it will never feel like your Boxster GTS or my 718 Spyder on a narrow B-road. It's to high, to wide and to long. If you can afford it, then you can afford more suitable cars for the same budget. Greetings from Schwarzwald on holiday with friends and Porsches.
Nice car, BUT this is a badge-engineered Alfa Stelvio. Ever since Ferrari was cut away and Maserati was transferred under the wing of Alfa, Maserati has been starved of its own funding and is increasing becoming a badge-engineering exercise for Alfa and for Alfa hand-me-downs. As a Maserati aficionado, this car makes me very sad, indeed. A four-pot 'Maserati', but if you want a so-called Maserati engine in your Maserati, which was actually originally an Alfa design, you pay big time. Sure, it looks better than the Stelvio, and has a better interior than the Stelvio, but you'll save yourself a *minimum* of 20 grand if you buy a Stelvio Quadrifoglio rather than a Grecale Trofeo, and you won't be kidding yourself that you're driving a Maserati. It has little if any Maserati engineering and nothing of the historical ethos of Maserati. The very idea of turinng Maserati into a mass market manufacturer should be as incompatible with the brand ethos as it would be for Ferrari. But Alfa has a real sense of humour. While diluting the brand's value with volume and diluting the Maserati content through badge-engineering with the lesser Alfa brand rather than sharing design with Ferrari, it is nonetheless pushing up prices as if the cars were even rarer, at the forefront of technology, and as if the engines were uniquely Maserati and rivalled the best. Instead of ensuring the viability of Maserati, Alfa's/Stellantis' current marketing strategy looks more likely to end with Maserati sharing the fate of Lancia. At the moment there is still some room for optimism with the MC20, even though originally an Alfa design, and the GranTurismo Folgore, which has no rival. However, if, as expected, Alfa will launch an actual Alfa Romeo rival to the MC20, I think that would constitute the open sabotage of Maserati by Alfa. IMO, if Stellantis wants Maserati to survive in good health, it needs to give it the funds it is currently so obviously starved of, and cut it away from the Stellantis fold, like Fiat did with Ferrari.

Yeah all the nice colours are expensive. I wanted yellow when i ordered mine but said no thanks in the end, £20k for that

Hi Ped
Hi 👋
Great vid. No one does interiors like the Italians. By the way it's been a month since you took "ownership" of the Nissan Ariya, just sayin'.
6 weeks actually 😂 Filmed with it yesterday. Video drops on Friday 👍
@@PetrolPed Thank you, Sir, look forward to it as usual.😁
To bad the regular press don't always give Alfas and Maserati the credit they deserve.
I love them both 👍
..mm, very similar specs to Stelvio. Coincidence?
Similar underpinnings but different engine 👍
Twin turbo V6, producing similar stats...
Trofeo smells like a new long termer... They should build a Maserati hot hatch based on the Modena and maybe even the Trofeo to compete with M2 and the AMG's.
That would be nice. I’ll drop Hendy a note 😜
depreciation will be a killer i think.
It’s larger than a stelvio. Longer wheelbase, more legroom
Doesn’t feel that way 🤔
It’s an Alfa ?
No Maserati! Its the Macan an Audi q5?
Parts of it are shared with Alfa 👍
I enjoyed watching the Video. My favourite Is the GT 😊
👍
Alfa Romeo Tonale ?
The PHEV Tonale gets close to the GT but not the other two !
If the Trofeo isn’t the same basic engine as the Stelvio QV, I will eat the Alfasud it took me 25 years to find, in front of you 😂
The entire car is based on the stelvio, side profile is almost identical
It’s a de tuned version of the V6 Nettuno engine from the MC20. The Stelvio used the 690T aparently 👍
@@PetrolPed You mixed dimensions, Stelvio is considerably smaller.

Nice car, just don’t think I’d get ‘management’ approval to spend £100k. She’d have a hissy fit. 😂
Yeah same here 😂
20:27 it’s actually much heavier then the Stelvio QV
It's about 100 lb more. That's not much heavier.
I like the car, but it's Italian and we all that anything Italian will stop working sooner than later.

And a bit smaller. Similar underpinnings 👍
Hold up. 206hp or 300ps? Pedantry alert, you mean 306hp or….?
£62k for four cylinders and 300 brake. Hmm…
Wait, this is not Alfa Romeo giulietta quadrifoglio ?
A luxury Ford Puma! 😂 Looks much better and lighter than a Stelvio...
Dear oh dear. Such confused styling, what a shame. Wants to be a macan at the front and a audi Q8 at the back. At least the levante is reasonably distinctive
Hello mate it looks a bit like a Porsche
It does 👍
But more luxurious interior. That swung it for me. And Porsche dealers gave the lowest trade in values by far!
😊
Are Maserati for real? £100k when you can have one of the best performance compact SUVs ie the Macan GTS with bullet proof residual values for around £80k as opposed to a £100k for this 😂..
I wouldn’t even bother. At least £20k overpriced 👎
This is exactly what I said in the video. £80-85k for the Trofeo seems about right and it would destroy a Macan.
"1 car garage" Sure, if you say so. As with every other premium SUV: a pig in a fancy dress is still a pig. Get an estate if you need a practical car. To all SUV drivers: get out of my lane (the fast one), you are blocking my view!
If you can only have 1 car this does it all and is more than capable of holding its own in the fast lane 😜
@@PetrolPed I disagree. It cannot park in a small city-spot like the Mini Cooper. And it will never feel like your Boxster GTS or my 718 Spyder on a narrow B-road. It's to high, to wide and to long. If you can afford it, then you can afford more suitable cars for the same budget. Greetings from Schwarzwald on holiday with friends and Porsches.
The new Ioniq 6 is better! 😉
I’ve got one coming in a few weeks so I’ll let you know my thoughts then 👍
Looks like a porsche
Evening
Hi 👋
I will buy 7 Trofeo lol
Nice car, BUT this is a badge-engineered Alfa Stelvio. Ever since Ferrari was cut away and Maserati was transferred under the wing of Alfa, Maserati has been starved of its own funding and is increasing becoming a badge-engineering exercise for Alfa and for Alfa hand-me-downs. As a Maserati aficionado, this car makes me very sad, indeed. A four-pot 'Maserati', but if you want a so-called Maserati engine in your Maserati, which was actually originally an Alfa design, you pay big time. Sure, it looks better than the Stelvio, and has a better interior than the Stelvio, but you'll save yourself a *minimum* of 20 grand if you buy a Stelvio Quadrifoglio rather than a Grecale Trofeo, and you won't be kidding yourself that you're driving a Maserati. It has little if any Maserati engineering and nothing of the historical ethos of Maserati.
The very idea of turinng Maserati into a mass market manufacturer should be as incompatible with the brand ethos as it would be for Ferrari. But Alfa has a real sense of humour. While diluting the brand's value with volume and diluting the Maserati content through badge-engineering with the lesser Alfa brand rather than sharing design with Ferrari, it is nonetheless pushing up prices as if the cars were even rarer, at the forefront of technology, and as if the engines were uniquely Maserati and rivalled the best.
Instead of ensuring the viability of Maserati, Alfa's/Stellantis' current marketing strategy looks more likely to end with Maserati sharing the fate of Lancia. At the moment there is still some room for optimism with the MC20, even though originally an Alfa design, and the GranTurismo Folgore, which has no rival. However, if, as expected, Alfa will launch an actual Alfa Romeo rival to the MC20, I think that would constitute the open sabotage of Maserati by Alfa. IMO, if Stellantis wants Maserati to survive in good health, it needs to give it the funds it is currently so obviously starved of, and cut it away from the Stellantis fold, like Fiat did with Ferrari.
Sounds like a diesel
