Maserati’s future starts now, with its first all-electric SUV.
can be viewed as either a death knell or an opportunity. For some it can feel as though nearly 100 years of institutional knowledge and the character of their beloved internal combustion engines was for naught.

The Grecale Folgore gets a more aero-friendly nose, new grille, front fender portholes replicated with LED fixtures, and a revised rear-end treatment to mask the lack of exhaust pipes. Inside, the gear shift lever is replaced by pushbutton transmission controls placed between the 12.3-inch infotainment and 8.8-inch multifunction displays, with the freed space used for a new cubby .
Unlike some of the EVs in its class, the Grecale Folgore accelerates similarly to its gas stablemate. Roll into the throttle and it pulls away progressively and predictably, almost like it too is powered by the. The Folgore feels quick, responsive, and powerful, even if its performance leans more towards the grand tourer end of the spectrum than sports car. Steering is quick, and despite some artificial-feeling on-center resistance in its default GT mode, well-weighted and responsive.

The D+ mode allows the Grecale Folgore to coast; D, the default, feels like typical engine braking from a gas car; D- adds 0.1-g more braking force to D, while D-- adds 0.2-g and allows for one pedal driving.
