There's a new electric temptation in the world of luxury SUVs: the Greek Maserati thunderbolt. The Italian SUV marks an important step in Maserati's electrification, alongside the current Combustion and mild hybrids now one too electric option includes. And electrification also affects others like the Gran Turismo and that GranConvertible, all of which have the addition “thunderbolt“wear, which in Italian means “Flash" is called. The design of the Grecale Folgore remains natural unmistakably Maserati. At 4,87 meters long, it is barely shorter than the Levante, its larger SUV brother. Small but subtle differences in the exterior, such as the special paint color "Rame Folgore“, a reference to the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, give it a particularly exclusive touch.

And the aerodynamics have also been revised. It leads to one Drag coefficient of 0,33, which should not be viewed as revolutionary. The cabin of the Grecale Folgore impresses high-quality materials and innovative elements. That is striking Carbon copper embossed pattern with 3D haptics, which is located on dashboard and to the Door panels shows. The Sports Seats are not only adjustable, but also heated and ventilated. Also covered with Econyl – a fiber made from recycled materials such as old fishing nets. Technically speaking, the Grecale shares the platform with the Giulia and the Stelvio, only in a modified form, with a longer wheelbase of 2,90 meters.

Power from a 105 kWh battery pack

There is also one under the vehicle 105 kWh battery pack, which is embedded between the axes. And to compensate for the weight of the battery there are two Permanent magnet motors installed, which together provide a system performance of 410 kW (557 PS) delivery. The performance allows the Grecale Folgore, in just 4,1 seconds from 0 to 100 clothes to accelerate. And another highlight is this All inclusive offer for charging at home and at public stations, which is included in the purchase price. It includes one Wallbox, which supports charging between 3 and 22 kW and an intelligent Load balancing can.

Engine sound now coming from the speaker

Despite the transition to electric drives, Maserati says it remains characteristic Maserati sound received, but now from the Speakers. The Grecale Folgore also has various Driving modes, which can be selected using a rotary switch on the steering wheel, including GT, sports, off-road and Max Range. The modes influence the driving behavior and the sound to suit the situation. The factory equipment includes one Smart Air suspension, which enables comfort and the necessary sportiness and in the interior the calm is replaced by a new one Suspension and a better one insulation supported so that external noise is eliminated.
