If the full-tilt-boogie Grecale Trofeo’s six-figure price tag struggles to fit your budget or expectations, the GT or Modena versions may be a better fit.
. Perhaps it's fitting then that the entry-level variants may prove to be the strongest.
For the uninitiated, the Grecale is a compact luxury SUV based on the same Giorgio platform that underpins, but it's stretched a half-size to provide more rear-seat space and cargo volume. Its interior is finished and trimmed to the same high standard Maserati is renowned for, even when its cars were grossly subpar .
The lower-trim Grecales will still outweigh their Alfa counterparts, and the additional 16-45 hp and 26 more lb-ft derived by their engines are unlikely to overcome that weight disparity . But the handling remains razor sharp, with decent ride quality—even on the optional 21-inch wheels.The Grecale feels vastly more special than its Alfa Romeo cousin inside and out, and this is where it earns its 25 percent base price bump .
Its 2.0-liter turbocharged engine revs freely with a pleasing growl, and the transmission clicks off quick shifts either on its own according to which of the five modes is selected or via the shift paddles. Chassis and powertrain behavior in each of those modes is overseen by the Grecale's Vehicle Dynamic Control Module —another item not shared with the Stelvio.
