The new maserati gercali is the second suv for the italian brand the luxury crossover might be an entry-level maserati but it sets established competitors such as porz mccanna and jaguar f-pace firmly in its sights overall the car features softer lines compared to its bigger sibling the levante but it’s more modern with the luxury features maserati buyers expect
This car will be another sales success for the italian brand and there’s something for the enthusiast of the marquee inside 2 as it doesn’t bail on performance so let’s take a look at 10 reasons we’re excited about this suv number 10 there are a lot of options maserati will offer three versions of the gerkali at the bottom of the range sits the inline four bread
Gt model using stalante’s global mean engine which is also used in some gebali and levante trims as well as alpha romeo and jeep models the model the brand expects to make up the bulk of sales is the mid-range modena which offers more power in handling upgrades top of the range is the ultimate gerkali tour feel which makes use of the 3.0 liter v6 to provide more
Power and even more handling upgrades to improve the driving experience number nine performance is there throughout the range the small 2.0 liter engine in the gt trim might not sound promising but coupling it with the 48 volt hybrid system means the crossover makes a competitive 296 horsepower and a 322 pound-feet of torque the modina upgrades that same engine
To make a spring only 325 horsepower the torpedo uses the same v6 from maserati’s new mc20 supercar but detuned to make 523 horsepower and 457 feet pound of torque still that’s bigger for the segment buyers of the gt and the modena should both expect a 0-60 miles per hour time that hovers around 5 seconds faster than the porsche’s base level mechanic and torpedo
Owners can enjoy a 60 miles per hour sprint in 3.6 seconds and power on to 177 miles per hour number eight it’s got space but still feels sporty despite all the power of the grickali packs the two-ton crossover isn’t small it’s about 20 cubic feet of storage space according to maserati which is once again more than a mccann it’s also a bigger car the grakali is
191 inches long with a wheelbase of 114.2 inches still though reviewers say the card doesn’t feel that big it might not be the most agile but it’s still not supposed to be instead of striking the balance between comfort and performance number seven luxury continues inside the grakali is all about comfort and luxury and the theme of the driving experience continues
In the interior once again maserati created a best in class space materials inside are natural leather and italian wood coupled with sporty carbon fiber inlays for all trim levels the quality throughout the interior is impressively hot and up to par for a luxury vehicle the dashboard is stitched the wheel is leather and the speakers are covered in fine metal
Grille number six the interior is futuristic most striking though are the screens a 12.3 inch touchscreen control nearly all the functions of the car with buttons all but removed in the digital dash is the same size a second 8.8 inch touchscreen beneath the implementation system handles all the climate controls even rear seat passengers get to enjoy a 6.5 inch
Touchscreen to handle their independent climate control zone most striking for everyone in the vehicle though will probably be the clock instead of a classic analog design maserati has turned it into a digital smart watch that also becomes a driver car interface that enables smart vocal interactions it’s something that would seem more at home in a tesla than in a
Maserati number five it’s far from part spin maserati wants you to know that the marquis developed the grakali itself through and especially the flagship to feel as part of the celantis brand that’s notorious for part sharing between brands maserati did not intend to offer its engine the netudo v6 has found in the mc20 was developed by the company although the gt
And the modena use the i4 also found in alpha romeo and g products the v6 won’t be shared anytime soon so though alpha is happy to be called a baby ferrari maserati wants to keep its own identity with the grakali number four it’s got off-road cadential most buyers of a luxury crossover probably won’t even consider taking their car off-road but the few who might
Want to the grakali is raring to go the car offers four drive modes five in torfeel and yes one of them is off-road even though it’s a maserati off-road models raise the ride height adjust the springs and optimize the all-wheel drive system for tackling the terrain and maserati tested a gerkali prototype in the snow number three it’s a more affordable maserati the
Most affordable outgoing maserati has been the baseline jabil which starts at seventy seven thousand six hundred and ninety five but a new grakali starts as low as sixty 64 995 a new base price for maserati it is more expensive than the mccann though which starts at 54 900 in base specifications maserati offers quite a bit more luxury and performance as standard
However number two an electric version is coming soon maserati isn’t done with the grakali yet though coming up next in 2024 is the full gore trim which will be all electric the model is slated to start sales later this year and the company promises 590 pound feet of torque out doing the torfield trim of the existing model the debut vehicle pictured is painted in
