Maserati has confirmed the 2027 Grecale Folgore, marking the Italian luxury brand's commitment to electrification within its compact crossover lineup. The Folgore variant represents a full EV transformation of the Grecale platform, positioning it as a direct competitor to the Tesla Model Y, BMW iX2, and Mercedes-Benz EQC.
The Grecale Folgore ditches the gasoline engine entirely in favor of an all-electric powertrain. Maserati hasn't released final specifications yet, but the model will leverage the same architecture used across the brand's electrification strategy. Early expectations suggest dual-motor all-wheel drive capability with performance-oriented tuning befitting Maserati's sporting heritage.
Pricing details remain unconfirmed, though Maserati historically positions the Grecale at the premium end of the compact luxury crossover segment. The standard combustion Grecale starts around $47,000 in North America. The Folgore electric variant will command a significant premium, likely landing between $60,000 and $75,000 depending on battery configuration and regional incentives.
The 2027 launch timeline aligns with Maserati's broader EV rollout. The brand pledged to electrify its entire lineup by 2030, with multiple models either already on sale or incoming. The Grecale Folgore bridges the gap between Maserati's existing MC20 hybrid supercar and future volume-focused electric models.
Range, charging speed, and acceleration figures remain undisclosed. Industry analysts expect the Folgore to achieve 250 to 300 miles of EPA-rated range on a full charge, matching or exceeding Tesla Model Y Long Range performance. Fast-charging capability will prove critical in this segment, where buyers demand
