2025 Maserati Grecale Base

The Grecale is Maserati's compact luxury SUV, the model that brings the trident badge to the crowded segment of premium crossovers. It drives with a sporty, engaging feel that's rare in this class, with sharp steering and a chassis that encourages a brisk pace. The ride is on the firm side, especially with larger wheels, but it stays composed over most roads and settles nicely on the highway. Inside, the cabin is a mix of Italian flair and modern tech, with a clean dashboard, a large touchscreen, and plenty of room for four adults. The standard 19-inch wheels and a 12.3-inch infotainment screen mark the Base as the entry point to the Grecale range, sitting below the Modena and Trofeo trims. Its 2.0L I4 makes 296 horsepower and pairs with an eight-speed automatic and all-wheel drive, delivering a smooth, responsive feel that's quicker than the numbers suggest. The Base comes with a fixed suspension, so you trade the adaptive dampers of higher trims for a slightly simpler, more predictable ride.
