Got one as a "family car" (after wife nagging about me owning only non-practical cars). I quite like the engine, dislike the touch only controls, and absolutely LOVE the sound system (Sonos Faber High Premium). Best sound system I ever had on a vehicle, far superior to the Bang & Olufsen on my DB11.
It's interesting how people just jump on the trend of hating on Maserati like sheeps, with arguments that can be applied to many other brands and models. This SUV is arguably more exciting and fun than anything else offered in the segment.

Here’s a suggestion: shoot the reviews of cars like this Maserati here, in the city, or on the highways, where almost all the owners will drive them. You don’t have to do all the reviews on back roads. Keep up the good work!
I'd like to love it as its an Italian beast, but somehow it doesnt give me the "umph" effekt. Maybe the lights? The front is a bit dull to me. Also, I absolutely dislike the double touch-controlled center consol design. Bring back those fine knobs and buttons, that is luxury.
In a perfect world, Maserati would make an M3 fighter with the Nettuno engine. I feel like a something in the compact class would be considerably more compelling than the Ghibli and Quattroporte for those looking for a sport sedan. Enough to make me dream at least.
Maserati is getting ever closer to making cars that make sense - the car's dynamics seem to be where they now need to be. Next phase is giving the interior a sense of occasion, like a Jaguar/Maserati of a decade ago - lots of wood and chrome and style. I believe there is a real market for a "handbag on wheels" kind of car - something about style and fashion where the emotional, Italian-ness makes sense, and for people who don't want a hardcore M or AMG. But still has to be fast and dynamic because Maserati. They've almost found it. The styling needs to be a little more expressive on the outside and much more expressive on the inside.
I only watched this video because it is you two, your channel is first class. But I don't give two craps about all these blob shaped, overweight SUV's. I don't care how much witchcraft they throw at them to make them fast or handle. Bring back affordable, fun to drive, reasonable weight cars. Otherwise, I will continue to drive old, rebuildable cars. They cost less in the long run and offer more fun. BTW, I daily an 2001 F150, still rebuildable but some plastics are getting hard to find and a 1966 MG Midget for weekend fun. The MG is completely rebuildable do to a great aftermarket support.
Am I the only one who actually likes the Grecale? It's really an extended stelvio. Yes, the front looks better on the stelvio, but everything else, including the interior, is better on the grecale.
I generally hate Maseratis, but am also oddly drawn to the Grecale. I think it's the perfect size. Interior is in another world than Stelvio and it's slightly bigger. Great ride/handling balance. Price discounts have made me consider, which I never thought I'd say about a Maserati.
It strikes me as a Macan GTS if Porsche made another generation. Similar ethos, just more rear leg room. X3M is pointless IMO. I don't want a family SUV that's too stiff to be a daily.
When you review cars like this, you need to take into account the depreciation - in other words, you should reflect the fact that you can pick a slightly used one up for less than $100k. Perhaps way below $100k - and some new ones are discounted already below $100k. That makes it a true Macan and X3/4M competitor. In that light, sounds like an awesome car for someone that doesn't want to drive what he/she sees every day. Speaking with experience - I bought a 1.5 year old Maserati Quattroporte Trofeo w/ 10k miles for $82k - stickered at $150k - and it's a beast for this price. Same thing is happening with the Gran Turismo - they are already getting discounted by $40k. So again, need to consider this in your reviews! But great work as always guys!
I so want to want a Maserati. This one, is actually almost reasonable, if you forget about depreciation and how it'll fall apart in a few short years. Leasing the way to go
All this talk in the comments about the front looking like a Ford Puma. So I searched Ford Puma and can tell you it definitely looks like a Puma from the front.
I find this car oddly appealing. The discounts on this are so good that depreciation will be reasonable. Perfect size IMO, much better ride-handling balance than X3M, really nice material quality. Like a slightly bigger Macan GTS.
Ok when I buy a car, and I have owned Ferrari ,Maserati ,Alfa Romeo...and I never ever bought one based on how much it is going to depreciate! ALLLL cars depreciate!...unless you buy an original Ferrari GTO or the like....
In Europe no one except Mob-Mama buy em new. ( as her 12th car indeed). But its going to be a perfect choice as a new- second hand. Think about half a price in 3 years with 23k on the clock. 37- 45 year old engineers gonna jump on it with big smile.
These are gonna be spicy in a couple years at $67k 20k miles with a great certified warranty…
I dont think you will have to wait that long
more like 30k with major issues. but yeah.. definitely a second hand buy only..... if that.
Does the certified warranty include a dedicated spot in the service department parking lot? It might be there frequently...
There's a few for sale for around 80k-90k with under 7k miles already.
$75k now after two years these will be low $40k. Just look at the Levante. $20k for 2020 models
That front end is 100% Ford Puma with a trident slapped on. Colour is cool though.
This Giovanni Crotch Rot looks great

Looking forward to seeing a lot of these at Kroger in the suburbs in a few years...
They have these for rent at the Vegas airport Hertz. I had the same issues with the screen. Mostly inoperable.
Regarding price, It seems weird to pay that much for a vehicle whose base trim has a 4-cylinder but you have to remember that is an MC 20 motor.
That being said, the 19,000 paint is just indulgent and that's Maserati thinking it's what it was 30 years ago
I find this car oddly appealing. The discounts on this are so good that depreciation will be reasonable. Perfect size IMO, much better ride-handling balance than X3M, really nice material quality. Like a slightly bigger Macan GTS.
Hey James - why dont we call the class the “CC” class for “Conspicuous Consumption" class
Beautiful car, beautiful ride, I test drove it, just classy except the price
Ok when I buy a car, and I have owned Ferrari ,Maserati ,Alfa Romeo...and I never ever bought one based on how much it is going to depreciate! ALLLL cars depreciate!...unless you buy an original Ferrari GTO or the like....
“it’s farty! it does big farts”
I LOLed
In Europe no one except Mob-Mama buy em new. ( as her 12th car indeed). But its going to be a perfect choice as a new- second hand. Think about half a price in 3 years with 23k on the clock. 37- 45 year old engineers gonna jump on it with big smile.
The corrola cross back and the puma front
this suv will definitely get overlooked at -_-
