Maserati opens orders books for all-electric Grecale Folgore

Maserati has started taking UK orders for its latest all-electric model – the Grecale Folgore.

Priced from £109,095, the Grecale Folgore completes the model line-up of Maserati’s mid-sized premium SUV and sits alongside mild hybrid four-cylinder and V6 petrol options.

Maserati plans to be an all-electric brand by 2030 and the sporty Grecale SUV – which will compete with the new Porsche Macan and Audi Q6 e-tron – is the second model after the GranTourismo to add an EV powertrain to its range.

The Grecale Folgore uses two motors to deliver all-wheel-drive and 550bhp/605lb ft. That makes it the most powerful version of the Grecale on sale, although its 0-62mph time of 4.1 seconds is marginally slower than the Grecale Trofeo’s 3.8 seconds.

A 105kW battery offers an official range of up to 311 miles on a single charge. Ultra-rapid DC charging allows it to be replenished from 20-80% in 29 minutes.

While largely similar in looks to the petrol-powered versions, the Folgore features unique alloy wheels ranging from 19 to 21 inches, a bespoke rear diffuser and redesigned front grille. Copper details complete the exterior detailing and are carried over into the ‘3D touch’ interior trim. The interior also features Folgore embossed patterns and Econyl recycled materials.

Customers can choose from a range of exterior colours, including an exclusive Rame Folgore shade, but only one trim level is available. Standard equipment includes air suspension, 14-way electric front seats, a 14-speaker Sonus faber sound system, three-zone climate control, heated front and rear seats, with ventilation for front seats as well, a 360-degree camera, adaptive cruise control and a full suite of advanced driver aids.

A new reservation portal is now open for customers to order their Grecale Folgore, with cars expected in showrooms by June. All orders include a Maserati home charger in the price.
