2024 Maserati Grecale Trofeo Quick Review
The 2024 Maserati Grecale Trofeo ($105,500 starting in the US, $133,100 starting in Canada) is a 523 horsepower SUV with a 3.0L twin-turbo V6 Nettuno engine - the same engine found in the MC20. It aims to stand out with vibrant paint, a ferocious exhaust and a Maserati styling touch. But does the Grecale live up to what one might expect of a Trofeo Maserati? And how does it compare to its rather stiff competition? Thomas and James are excited to find out! We hope you enjoy the episode. SUBSCRIBE!

Ah yes, two tonnes of pure depreciation
The upper half of the car looks like depreciation and the bottom half looks like depression
don't know about your country but they certainly aren't that much worse compared to the other luxury stuff But always this one guy trying to be ridiculous whereas 100 peasants find it amusing
@@MMOchAForPrez it smokes most other suvs so what
@@v12-s65 Key word, most other "SUV"s.
@@jkliao6486 You wanna compare it to a sports car or what
These are gonna be spicy in a couple years at $67k 20k miles with a great certified warranty…
I dont think you will have to wait that long
more like 30k with major issues. but yeah.. definitely a second hand buy only..... if that.
Does the certified warranty include a dedicated spot in the service department parking lot? It might be there frequently...
Really speaks to how far we’ve come when you hear an SUV does 0-60 in 3.8s and think…”meh”
This is so far the best looking Ford Puma I ever seen
don't worry bro, the continent where they sell more of these grecale don't have a clue what a puma is, since those shltty cars are strictly europe only.

it will eat Ford Puma breakfast and send it back to the scrap yard
@@deangreen3370 fun fact: A Ford Puma will actually eat this monstrosity for breakfast on a windy country road.
every one of you are blind.
That front end is 100% Ford Puma with a trident slapped on. Colour is cool though.
This Giovanni Crotch Rot looks great
Let’s be honest: this front end was always going to look like this. The design elements scream Maserati. It just so happens that Ford beat them to it
Or the first Cayenne.
@@sirskorgedefinitely not the first gen Cayenne. 😅

Thomas: "i didn't know this existed until today." Everyone else: "same."
I knew, and I don't test cars. Just shows these 2 arshats don't have a f-ig clue wtf they doing . They're just joy riding,
Put it in spork mode
sounds like a you problem. get out from under your rock
As a technician for a Maserati dealership in Austin Texas, I know there are active recalls for the touch screens being not sensitive enough
They are called TSBs.
Touchscreen on mine is excellent
why they don't use carbon ceramic brakes for these whereas the stelvio QV can use them?
@@mortensenvick5711probably thought nobody is gonna track the car..
@@mortensenvick5711 A waste of money.
Surprised the Stelvio quadrifoglio was never mentioned in the review, probably the most direct rival. Sportier but less luxurious.
Maserati should have asked them not to name the car from which this Grecale came. The engine and chassis are the same.
Also built in the same factory....
Or the fpace
@@gds1847 yes it seemed almost forced… how do you not mention the other italian suv built on the same platform
shhhh don't mention that, I'm looking for an used one and I don't wanna get too much competitors lol....let's people forgetting about those
I didn’t even know this car was a thing
congrats you just realised that you ain't a car guy
I knew about it but completely forgot about it the next day
@@v12-s65”car guys” tend not to give af about the SUV collective. Cant blame them.
@v12-s65 because he didn't know about a mid sized cross-over with a spork badge that somehow costs over $100k? Please. I'd say you're outta the club since you care so much about this thing lol.
@@v12-s65 nerd spotted
$19'000 for paint is the best laugh I have had today.😂😂😂
That's pretty common among luxury cars. Think of Aston, Porsche, Bentley, Rolls, Maybach. But who are you to know that😅
@@v12-s65 Maserati Second best laugh is you grouping maserati in the same league as rolls royce .😊
You may as well splash out for the expensive paint, if you're buying one of those new... The only thing that'd depreciate faster is a bookshelf falling down a staircase.
For a custom color yeah. Paint to sample color or something like that. But that is a factory color, metallic yellow is unusual I'll grant that, and an overpriced one too. And it has been a long time since Maserati rolled in the league you mentioned, like 75 years or more.@@v12-s65
@@v12-s65 luxury cars? A MASERATI ? the biggest joke of a car company on the planet?
I actually test drove one of these last year, and even I forgot these existed.
It's like we collectively choose to forget Maserati exists. They, the company, could be a bought Chinese marque for all I know. _I just don't know anything about them anymore._
LOL
I really believe you ... dose not seem like a vehicle that you remember....they just bad
@@erik3371 Have fun driving your ford taurus!
That little scream when he said oh hey water really got me… 😂
Why did James scream when Thomas ran over water 😂
ever hydroplaned?
@@kvetchaeverytime it rains… a mini heart attack 😂
It's an Italian Car. It might break from getting wet.
Increíble lol, I replayed it twice!😂
Thomas has more reactions James is more articulate This formula of James living with the car and bringing Thomas up to speed on the drive is fantastic. Another great video!
1:29 magnificent vocals Thomas. The enthusiasm outstanding. Really adds to the video. 2:07 the evil laugh tremendously good 5:08 James high note. Harrison you heard all this right lol 😂
It's interesting how people just jump on the trend of hating on Maserati like sheeps, with arguments that can be applied to many other brands and models. This SUV is arguably more exciting and fun than anything else offered in the segment.
I would definitely buy one. I could see spending $50,000 on it. I haven't gotten to the price yet, but 50k and I am in.
This Trofeo trim starts at over double that USD and nearly 3 times that CAD.
I was thinking the same... this is a pretty ok 48-60k suv....
In about 3 years it’ll be there
Bought two maseratis for the firm's ceo and coo, one Levante Modena and a Grecale Trofeo. So far I was surprised with the built quality of the cars, it's surprisingly well made inside. Exhaust notes are superb and they handle amazingly, looks are great too! Now 25'000km on them and everything working for now. Had range/land rovers before, most of them did fine too.
Any shot I could get like $30,000? I need another daily (superbike)
@@akafxde7245?
Did you just say these freaking SUVs handle amazingly and proceeded to call someone who didn't know they exist a non car guy? Some people are just baffling. Thanks for letting me know you've never driven anything remotely sporty.
@@MyRealNameyou sound fun and definitely not like you hate your life
I think the poster was a corporate bean counter and buying them for company lease or something. If it was just as a random gift it is quite generous. @@akafxde7245
Might be just me but would totally take a Stelvio QV over this all day. Also not a fan of that color and agree with you guys. Inside looks pretty nice though.
The stelvio is such a boring looking car
@@mr.eastwest1965as opposed to? All SUVs are boring af.
@@mr.eastwest1965 It’s an SUV so it has to follow a standard body design, but it’s one of the better looking ones.
Got one as a "family car" (after wife nagging about me owning only non-practical cars). I quite like the engine, dislike the touch only controls, and absolutely LOVE the sound system (Sonos Faber High Premium). Best sound system I ever had on a vehicle, far superior to the Bang & Olufsen on my DB11.
Sonus Faber (pronounced "Fah-ber") is an outstanding Italian brand of high-end home theater speakers. You should check them out - really amazing. I own some. Would own more if I could afford them. It's a partnership similar to Jeep's partnership with McIntosh or BMW's partnership with Bowers&Wilkins.
This isn't even the first video James has butchered their name lol
James use to take pride in his foreign pronunciations and now he just blabbers some accented gibberish. I blame his time hanging out with those rug rats of his. They'll have you saying Zizzerzazzerzuzz and HIPY PAPY BTHUTHDTH THUTHDA BTHUTHDY in your sleep.
Fyi Mcintosh owns Sonus Faber too
bowers wilkins is 2 notch above
@@mortensenvick5711 I haven't heard the SF car audio systems so I cannot comment, but from a home theater perspective, SF is hard to beat. B&W doesn't come close.
My two favourite guys on KZhead. Always going to be good.
Isn't it basically a slightly fancier Stelvio Quadrifoglio? Which, lets be honest, is the best crossover ever made?
Yes the chassis and drivetrain are very similar
If that had a Ford or Hyundai badge on it, I wouldn't have guessed otherwise. It's an SUV blob w the only style being the paint. The Alfa Stelvio looks better, has a way cooler badge, is less money and has about the same powah. Hey - how about a comparison? ;)
Everything you said including the need for a comparison
That's a pretty nice Ford Puma
Stelvio quadrifoglio owner here, that engine bay looks suspicously familiar to me, can you guys do a side by side comparison of the engine bay?
It's basically the same car but with different interior trim
@@rar23424 alfa v6 is also different from nettuno
The Nettuno is more of an exact clone of the F154 V8 in the California T minus 2 cylinders lobbed off, with unique to Maserati cylinder heads that feature ignition 'pre-chambers.' The 690T from the Quadrifolgios is slightly further revised from the F154, different bore/stroke, etc. The Nettuno and F154 share identical bore & stroke, internal hardware (bolts), coolant passages, etc. The Nettuno then uses dressings (alternator, a/c compressor, etc) from the 690T.
@@95mushroom From what I can tell the f154 seems to have a different bore x stroke to both the 690T and the Nettuno, maybe the Nettuno is just a bored out 690T? It does look like they have the same stroke length but a different bore diameter making the Nettuno 3.0 instead of 2.9.
@@95mushroom Actually I just found out the shares the same bore and stroke with the f154 found in the sf90, and it seems to share the same firering order with the quadrifoglio, so it's definitely copying something.
Giallo crotch rot paint, $19k. The look you get in a yellow Maserati SUV, priceless 💛
Unleashing power, style, and sophistication
Really didn’t want to watch this but I love you guys and here I am.
10:32 - Thomas's excitement for the W201, followed by the "eh" when James points out the 911 S/T
I love a Maserati, interior looks feels quality higher quality than most luxury cars. They're fast, handle great, sounds amazing. You just need to sit in one and you'll understand
The Trofeo is absolutely amazing!!!
Finally Masi review
So much fun to watch!
Maserati is getting ever closer to making cars that make sense - the car's dynamics seem to be where they now need to be. Next phase is giving the interior a sense of occasion, like a Jaguar/Maserati of a decade ago - lots of wood and chrome and style. I believe there is a real market for a "handbag on wheels" kind of car - something about style and fashion where the emotional, Italian-ness makes sense, and for people who don't want a hardcore M or AMG. But still has to be fast and dynamic because Maserati. They've almost found it. The styling needs to be a little more expressive on the outside and much more expressive on the inside.
They make such a cute couple! Love them!
That was the perfect Extra TH cutaway!! 😂
I was just watching the best intro video and this popped up! I am a happy camper
Great sounding lease machine
Wet follow through should have been the name of the colour 😁. Well done
The turbo lag to audible and visible explosion of boost is pretty incredible
Stunning car!
I think I'm starting to like this channel more than the main channel.
2:48 "OMG that gave me a fright" 🤣 So British it's hilarious
They heard the exhaust fart in California and you have a state ref appointment.😂
I'd like to love it as its an Italian beast, but somehow it doesnt give me the "umph" effekt. Maybe the lights? The front is a bit dull to me. Also, I absolutely dislike the double touch-controlled center consol design. Bring back those fine knobs and buttons, that is luxury.
You summed it up great! 👍 I dont want a car with many shitty displays. Luxury for me is not having to look at screens all the time.
Controversial opinion re: column vs wheel-mounted shifters: In very-high-performance, track-oriented vehicles, they *_should_* be column-mounted, because if you've turned the wheel far enough that you can't reach them, you shouldn't be shifting.
I call this class of car a FASHION WAGON
Wtf! I didn’t know there was an extra throttle house channel 😮
I so want to want a Maserati. This one, is actually almost reasonable, if you forget about depreciation and how it'll fall apart in a few short years. Leasing the way to go
I own one and its a beast
“You can hear the follow through” 🎉
Oh look! New Stelvio quad!
The Savage Geese Video was hilarious 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
“it’s farty! it does big farts” I LOLed
The word you’re looking for, for this class is: “Douchemobile “
Not into the spicy two-row SUVs so much, huh? Could be a fun little grocery getter for a rich soccer mom.
@@cbotten106lol, I appreciate that you threw “spicy” out there 👌
I would have gone with, "BlingWagon," but to each his own.
Here’s a suggestion: shoot the reviews of cars like this Maserati here, in the city, or on the highways, where almost all the owners will drive them. You don’t have to do all the reviews on back roads. Keep up the good work!
"Do you feel that lil bit of grecale coming in?"😂😂😂
I always thought it's a version on Stelvio Quadrofoglio
As an Italian, the look of this car is simply put a huge shame! Especially considering how prettier it just is any (almost) other competitor
Yep. This thing is an insult to Italian design. I don’t care how fast it is, it looks like junk.
Looking forward to seeing a lot of these at Kroger in the suburbs in a few years...
I would like to ask why the la la land soundtrack is in one of your recently played, because its also in mine and i got really confused 😂😂😂
I prefer so much more the unscripted videos from these guys. So much more fun ;) I always get a huge laugh and good time every time 😂
I purchased one for my wife. She loves it.
And her boyfriend loves it even more!

Lol thanks for the chuckle mate
They have these for rent at the Vegas airport Hertz. I had the same issues with the screen. Mostly inoperable.
The scream at 5:09 😂
Beautiful car, beautiful ride, I test drove it, just classy except the price
That Corsa setting is awesome....who doesn't want their Grecale to drive like a Vauxhall supermini sometimes?!
I love their reviews, but wish they'd create 2 channels. One for cars like this and the other for cars the rest of us could afford to buy.
James’s yelp when he hit the water 😂😂😂 love these guys
Correct me if I am wrong. That's the same engine at the Giulia Quadrifoglio and Stelvio Quadrifoglio, correct?
The fart discussion was the most entertaining part of the review! 💨💨💨
More fun than the X3! Sounds better too
am I the only one that sees 3 people in the videos, Thomas, James & the editor
Thomas, I believe James was challenging you to drift that car !
Outside of price or deprecation issues, this thing or an F-Pace SVR?
Yo, when we doing the Gran Tourismo Folgore?
Shape looks exactly like my Alfa Romeo Stelvio...
That's not a coincidence. ....the Grecale is based on a slightly stretched version of the same Giorgio platform as the Stelvio and is built in the same factory.
Persistent sidebar with CarPlay is useful but why is there a persistent top bar as well? Reduces the size of CarPlay dramatically
Those cylinder banks have crazy angles to one another! But hey, it'sa Italiano, right?
Damn. 133k is entering RS6 territory

@@Greg-TC The guy is a knob, don't talk to him. Nothing in that thick head
Imitation is the best form of flattery - the people at Ford who designed the Puma. Maserati: Say that in Italian.
In essence a Stelvio Quadrifoglio. Which I´d rather have.
It's a bit bigger, has a far, far nicer interior, and more sophisticated chassis with air suspension. But yes, similar MO.
Neighbor has one here in SoFlo. Has all the road presence of a Chevy Bolt.
"it's farty, does BIIIIGGG FARTS on the upshift"
Just say it, it's the updated Alfa Stelio QV. Got the same steering wheel, paddles, and even the same plastic engine cover and air intake. They removed the Steve QV in the US after 2024 so they can sell the same car for $40k more.
Different engine and then some...
this suv will definitely get overlooked at -_-
So yea I guess this is your main channel now 😂
The real question is if air suspension is worth a $20k premium over the exact same (recently discontinued) vehicle with an Alfa Romeo badge.
When it breaks you'll find out. I'm guessing you get out for a little less than that.
Looks like Maserati not only wanted the performance of the Macan but the looks too. Still the Porsche is far superior.
Which Macan? GTS, around same money as equipped. Ahh, but sounds like you have driven both and offer a completely objective opinion. Nah. Please do that and let us know.
Hey James - why dont we call the class the “CC” class for “Conspicuous Consumption" class
