2023 Maserati Grecale Exterior and Dimensions

The exterior of the Maserati Grecale exhibits all the Italian flair you can reasonably expect from a restrictive form factor such as a compact crossover, and Maserati must be lauded for trying to infuse some passion into what is supposed to be a very practical shape. The front bumper with its big vertically straked grille and centrally mounted Maserati trident draws inspiration from the MC20 supercar. Other typical styling cues such as the three fender vents and a repetition of the Maserati logo on the rear pillars are present and accounted for, while the boomerang motives in the taillights hark back to the 3200GT of blessed memory. The GT runs on 19-inch alloy wheels and the Modena has 20s. Various designs of 20- and 21-inch wheels are optionally available, as well as differently colored brake calipers. The lower-body side trim, lower front lip spoiler, exterior badging, rear-mounted sharkfin antenna, tailpipes, and glasshouse surrounds are chromed on the GT and black on the Modena, and only the latter has a dual-pane power sunroof. Both trims come with LED headlights and taillights.

The Maserati Grecale's dimensions push it half a size class up. It's a good five inches longer than most of its compact rivals such as the Macan and X3, and positioned halfway between these cars and the Cayenne/X5, with an overall length of 190.8 inches on a 114.2-inch wheelbase. Its width is 76.7 inches without the mirrors (85.2 inches with the mirrors), its height is 65.8 inches, its ground clearance is 8 inches, and its curb weight is 4,123 lbs. These apply to the GT and some of the Modena's figures differ slightly, like its length (190.9 inches), its body width without the mirrors (77.9 inches), and its curb weight (4,178 lbs). The Modena's adaptive suspension also reduces its overall height and ground clearance by 0.1 inches each to 65.7 and 7.9 inches, respectively.
