The Maserati Grecale Folgore has been revealed in full. It’s the Italian firm’s first ever electric car, and it has two electric motors with a combined 550hp.
This alternative to the forthcoming Porsche Macan EV and the Mercedes EQC also has up to 310 miles of range, as well as some unique styling tweaks over the petrol-powered Grecale.
New Maserati Grecale Folgore design
At a glance, the new Maserati Grecale Folgore looks a lot like the standard Grecale. It does have some unique design features to set it apart.
This electric car has a blanked-off grille for better aerodynamics, and you get the same front bumper as the Grecale Trofeo. This means you get aggressive-looking air intakes lower down.
Down the side, you also have some unique alloy wheels for the Folgore. They start at 19 inches, but 20- and 21-inch wheels are also available. Also exclusive to this model is the matte brown paint finish.
The main difference between this and the petrol version at the rear is the lack of an exhaust. You get a sporty-looking diffuser, as well as a neat roof spoiler.
New Maserati Grecale Folgore motors and performance
This new Maserati Grecale Folgore doesn’t use the 760hp tri-motor setup from the forthcoming GranTurismo Folgore. Instead, it has a dual-motor setup.
You have 550hp and 820Nm of torque under your right foot. That’s 27hp less than you get in the Kia EV6 GT, but it’s 63hp more than the Ford Mustang Mach-E GT.
It’s enough power to launch the Folgore from 0-60mph in 4.1 seconds, more than half a second slower than the Kia but slightly quicker than the Mustang.
New Maserati Grecale Folgore batteries and range
This new electric SUV has a 105kWh battery with 310 miles of range. That’s nine miles down on the Tesla Model Y, but it trumps the Mercedes EQC by 65 miles.

The Grecale Folgore can charge at 150kW DC if you can find a charger which supports it. This means you can top up from 20-80% in 29 minutes, or add 62 miles of range in just nine minutes.
When does the Maserati Grecale Folgore go on sale?
Full details on when the new Maserati Grecale Folgore will go on sale will be announced in due course, however you can expect it to be available by the end of the year.
As for price, that’s not been revealed yet either. You can expect it to fetch close to the same asking price as the Grecale Trofeo, with a figure close to £100,000 likely.
