2027 Maserati Grecale Adds a 385-HP V6 as the GranTurismo and GranCabrio Gain Power and Range
Maserati is reshaping its U.S. lineup for the 2027 model year, and the biggest news for shoppers is a new way into the 2027 Maserati Grecale. The compact luxury SUV adds a 385-horsepower Grecale V6 model, while the GranTurismo and GranCabrio Trofeo pick up 40 more horsepower and the electric Folgore models travel farther on a charge.
In addition, Maserati is widening its personalization program and adding a new Country driving mode to its grand tourers. The brand showed the updated cars to journalists on Southern California roads in October as part of a celebration of 100 years of the Trident badge.
Meet the New 385-HP Grecale V6
The headline change for the Grecale is simple. Every gasoline-powered Grecale sold in North America now uses Maserati’s 3.0-liter twin-turbo Nettuno V6, and the new Grecale V6 joins the lineup as a fresh option below the sportier models.
Here is how the gas Grecale lineup stacks up for 2027:
- Grecale V6: new for 2027, 385 horsepower, top speed up to 162 MPH
- Grecale Modena V6: top speed up to 162 MPH
- Grecale Trofeo: 523 horsepower, top speed up to 177 MPH
Meanwhile, the all-electric Grecale Folgore remains part of the family with a top speed of 137 MPH. Maserati has not announced 2027 pricing yet, so we will update you once those numbers are official.
GranTurismo and GranCabrio Trofeo Gain 40 Horsepower
Enthusiasts get plenty to like, too. Both the GranTurismo Trofeo coupe and the GranCabrio Trofeo convertible gain 40 horsepower over the previous model year, bringing output to 582 horsepower.
On top of that, the Sportivo exhaust becomes standard on every V6 version of both grand tourers in North America. The GranTurismo is a true four-seater, and both cars come standard with all-wheel drive (AWD) and height-adjustable air suspension. In Sport mode, the Trofeo models firm up the damping and let the Sportivo exhaust speak a little louder.
A New Country Mode Adds Ground Clearance
Not every road is a smooth stretch of highway, and Maserati knows it. A new Country driving mode raises ground clearance by 20 millimeters, or about 0.8 inch, on the 483-horsepower and Folgore versions of the GranTurismo and GranCabrio.
That may not sound like much. However, a little extra clearance can make the difference on steep driveways, speed bumps, and rough rural roads, the kind of real-world stuff low-slung grand tourers usually dread.
Folgore EVs Go Farther on a Charge
Maserati’s electric Folgore models also get more range for 2027. Here are the improvements:
- GranTurismo Folgore: 254 miles per charge, up 21 miles from the 2026 model
- Grecale Folgore: up to 33 more miles of range on 21-inch wheels
Range is only half of the EV story, of course. Charging at home overnight is the easiest way to live with any electric car, and a quality Level 2 charger like the Lectron EV charger makes that routine simple.

More Ways to Make It Yours
Personalization is a big part of the Maserati experience, and the Fuoriserie customization program grows for 2027. Specifically, the Fuoriserie palette for the GranTurismo and GranCabrio adds seven exterior colors, including:
- Green Jupiter Matte
- Blu Denim
Also new, GranCabrio buyers can commission a bespoke soft top for the first time. Styling also gets a refresh, as the sharper, more horizontal front ends on all three 2027 models draw from the track-only MCXtrema.
Our Take on the 2027 Maserati Lineup
For me, the new Grecale V6 is the most important change here. Putting the Nettuno V6 in every gas Grecale gives the whole SUV lineup a more special feel, and a new entry model should make it easier for families to step into an Italian luxury SUV. Pricing will tell the real story, so I want to see where the Grecale V6 lands before calling it a bargain.
As a gearhead dad, I also love seeing 582 horsepower in a car that still seats four.
