Overview
The 2025 Maserati Grecale compact luxury SUV leans hard on style and a sense of occasion. It stands out in a crowded class with distinct Italian design, a rich-looking cabin, and a driving character that feels more special than most familiar German rivals. In U.S. gas form for 2025, the standard Grecale is centered on the Modena mild-hybrid model, while the broader Grecale family also includes the higher-performance Trofeo and the all-electric Folgore, which we review separately.
What’s New for 2025
For 2025, the all-electric Grecale Folgore (below) joins the lineup. The Grecale itself was introduced for 2023 and returned the following year with minor tech and styling updates.

Exterior
The 2025 Grecale looks like a Maserati first and a compact SUV second, which is exactly the point. Its shape is clean and upright, with a large trident grille, sharp LED headlights and DRLs, and a rear treatment built around boomerang-motif taillights that tip a hat to those of the ’90s 3200 GT. On the Modena, the look gets sharper with 20-inch or 21-inch wheels, gloss-black exterior accents, and darker trim details that give it a sportier edge without tipping into excess.
Interior
Inside, the Grecale mixes traditional luxury cues with a screen-heavy layout that feels upscale rather than gimmicky. The cabin uses rich materials, and you get a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, a 12.3-inch upper touchscreen, and a lower 8.8-inch screen for climate and other functions. Maserati gives the SUV a rather small 18.9-cu-ft cargo area, but it is expandable to a useful 57.4 cu-ft. Options include three-zone climate control, a head-up display, and a 21-speaker Sonus Faber stereo, all of which help it feel properly premium for the segment.
The layout itself leans heavily on digital interfaces, but Maserati integrates them in a way that doesn’t feel overwhelming once you spend time with the system. The upper screen handles navigation and media, while the lower display keeps climate controls accessible without diving through multiple menus. The digital gauge cluster is configurable, allowing drivers to prioritize navigation, performance data, or basic driving information, depending on preference.
Comfort is another strong point. The front seats offer a wide range of adjustments and supportive cushioning for longer drives, while rear passengers benefit from generous legroom compared to many rivals in this class, though official figures aren’t quoted. The available panoramic sunroof adds to the sense of space, and thoughtful details like ambient lighting and stitched leather surfaces reinforce the Grecale’s focus on delivering a refined, everyday driving environment that still feels special.
Price Range and Best Value Trim
| Trim Level | Price |
| Modena | $76,500 |
The 2025 Maserati Grecale’s price comes in at $76,500 for the Modena, which gets the Grecale’s 325-hp mild-hybrid 4-cylinder, and it layers in the equipment that makes this SUV feel worth its badge. Adaptive dampers, 20-inch wheels, a power sunroof, 14-way power front seats, adaptive cruise control, and wood interior trim all help justify the price, while the performance output stays exactly where most buyers will want it.

Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Distinctive styling that doesn’t disappear in a crowded luxury SUV class
- Elegant cabin with strong material quality and plenty of screen tech
- Modena trim combines solid pace with comfort-focused features that matter day to day
Cons:
- Four-cylinder engine lacks the refinement expected at this price
- Steering feel is less involving than the best drivers’ SUVs in the segment
- Pricing remains high for a compact luxury crossover
Verdict
The 2025 Maserati Grecale succeeds on personality. In Modena form, it gives buyers a compact luxury SUV with real visual character, a plush interior, and enough performance to feel lively without demanding Trofeo money. It still trails the sharpest class rivals in steering feel and powertrain polish, but it makes up ground with style and a sense of occasion that many rivals simply don’t have. For shoppers who want something less common than the usual German choices, the Grecale makes a convincing case.
What ultimately defines the Grecale is how it balances everyday usability with a sense of identity. It doesn’t try to outdo rivals purely on numbers or lap times. Instead, it focuses on delivering a more emotional driving experience, whether that comes from the way it looks parked outside a restaurant or how the cabin feels during a long commute. The Modena trim, in particular, hits a sweet spot where performance, comfort, and equipment come together in a way that feels complete without pushing buyers into the higher-priced extremes of the lineup.
