Maserati has unveiled the 2027 Grecale Folgore, its first fully electric variant of the popular midsize luxury SUV. The new model arrives as the Italian marque accelerates its electrification strategy, joining the broader shift across the luxury segment toward battery power.
The Folgore name, meaning "lightning" in Italian, signals Maserati's performance intent with the electric drivetrain. Exterior design language carries forward from the combustion Grecale, maintaining the brand's recognizable grille treatment and sculpted bodywork. The SUV sits in a competitive segment alongside the Porsche Macan Electric, BMW iX M60, and the upcoming electric versions of the Mercedes-Benz GLE and Audi Q6 e-tron.
Maserati has not yet released powertrain specifications for the 2027 Grecale Folgore, though performance-focused electric SUVs in this class typically offer dual-motor setups producing 400 to 500 horsepower. Battery capacity and range figures remain unconfirmed.
The Grecale has established itself as Maserati's volume play since its 2021 launch, undercutting the larger Levante while targeting younger luxury buyers. An electric variant extends the model's appeal to environmentally conscious consumers willing to pay premium pricing. Maserati's parent company Stellantis expects the Grecale Folgore to contribute substantially to its EV sales targets across Europe and North America.
The 2027 model year timing positions the Folgore within a crowded launch window. Multiple automakers introduce electric luxury SUVs within this segment through 2025 and 2026, intensifying competition for market share. Pricing strategy will prove critical to the Grecale Folgore's success
