In time for the centenary of its famous Trident logo, Maserati is putting a new face on its core range for 2027. Maserati has unveiled an updated Grecale, GranTurismo and GranCabrio.
The trio of models have been given a design overhaul with cues from the MCXtrema, GT2 Stradale and MCPURA, resulting in a front end that is sharper and more aggressive. On the mechanical side, Maserati has put more oomph into its Nettuno V6 and made its Folgore electric models more efficient.
If you are looking at the Trofeo versions of the GranTurismo or GranCabrio, you will notice the most substantial changes under the hood. Maserati has coaxed another 40 hp out of the twin-turbo 3.0-liter Nettuno V6, bringing total output to 582. That Formula 1-bred engine will see the coupe top out at over 199 mph. And for those in North America with a combustion model, a sport exhaust is now standard fare for a more involving soundtrack.
The all-electric Folgore remains the performance benchmark. The GranTurismo Folgore can hit 202 mph and a reworked energy management system has pushed its range past 250 miles. The GranCabrio Folgore, meanwhile, is the quickest electric convertible you can buy, with a 180 mph top speed.
In all, there are three ways to have these grand tourers:
- GranTurismo/GranCabrio (483 hp)
- GranTurismo/GranCabrio Trofeo (582 hp)
- GranTurismo/GranCabrio Folgore EV (751 hp)
Maserati has also reworked the exterior with larger intakes and clear-lens taillights for better aerodynamics, and you can now spec optional gloss-black Tridente wheels. Step inside and you will find a new steering wheel with racing overtones, a digital clock and an upgraded driver monitoring system to pick up on any fatigue or distraction.
The 2027 Grecale gets a new V6. It is the biggest update the SUV has had since it was first put on the market. The Grecale now sports a lower, wider front fascia in line with Maserati’s “shark nose” aesthetic, along with some new wheel choices and grilles. The interior has been tidied up with an octagonal steering wheel and new materials.
But the headline is the new entry-level V6. With 385 hp from the Nettuno-derived unit, it sits alongside the Modena and the high-strung Trofeo. Maserati claims the V6 has 32 percent more torque at 2,000 rpm than the old four-cylinder mild-hybrid. The Trofeo is still king when it comes to straight-line speed, doing 0-60 in 3.6 seconds and 177 mph flat out.
As for the Grecale Folgore, Maserati has increased its driving range thanks to better tires and software tweaks. Depending on the wheels you choose, you can expect between 239 and 268 miles, an improvement of as much as 33 miles.
