1. Performance and driving dynamics Under the hood the Modena trim uses a 2.0-litre turbocharged inline-four, mild-hybrid assisted, producing around 330 Bhp and 332 lb-ft of torque. It pairs with standard all-wheel drive and an eight-speed automatic transmission. Performance is strong for the class: the 0-60 mph time is about 5.0–5.3 seconds in independent testing. Aside from raw numbers, reviewers note that the Grecale offers a spirited drive with a rear-biased AWD system that lets the car feel engaging. For an “everyday” SUV that still offers performance character, the Modena hits a nice balance. 2. Premium luxury and Italian styling The Grecale embodies the design and heritage of Maserati: sleek Italian styling, a distinctive front grille, strong proportions and SUV practicality. Inside you get a modern luxury cabin: up-to-date infotainment (for example a 12.3-inch digital cluster, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto) and premium finishes. 3. Practicality and everyday usability Unlike many pure sports cars, the Grecale is an SUV: it seats five, offers decent space and is more usable for daily driving, family needs, groceries, etc. The boot (trunk) capacity is reasonably generous (around 535?litres in EU specs for Modena) and the cabin layout is versatile. Comfort and refinement are well addressed: the Modena is tuned for balanced ride and handling (versus a harsh track-spec). As one reviewer put it: “once you get used to the body roll, it acquits itself well.” 4. Distinction-factor & brand appeal Choosing a Maserati in this segment gives you something different: many buyers gravitate toward the usual German luxury brands (BMW, Mercedes, Audi). A Grecale differentiates you. The Maserati badge still carries prestige, and the driving character and aesthetics reflect that heritage. If you want an SUV that says “luxury plus performance” yet isn’t as ubiquitous as some rivals, the Grecale Modena fits. Compared to some higher-performance trims or ultra-luxury competitors, you’re getting a strong package at a relatively competitive entry point.
