First drive review: 2022 Maserati Grecale GT
Group’s venerable EA888 turbocharged 2.0-litre that goes without any electrical assistance. It’s certainly got it beaten for on paper running costs, the hybrid assistance resulting in a 32.5mpg return at the pumps and CO2 emissions of 198g/km.
The engine is aided by the standard eight-speed ZF automatic, which serves-up smooth and timely shifts when left to its own devices, even if the manual changes aren’t as crisp and quick as a PDK’s. That said, the long alumimum paddle-shifters look and feel great, it’s just a shame they make it tricky to reach the stalks for the wipers and headlamps.
Yet hit a deep pothole or a sharper imperfection and the Maserati’s serenity is shattered by a jolt and some surprising noises-off from the suspension. Over typically pock-marked and scarred urban surfaces the Grecale thumps and bumps its way along, the sudden movements of the large 20-inch alloys struggling to be contained effectively or quietly.
Take things easier and, grabby brakes aside, the Grecale makes a decent case for itself as a family-sized upmarket SUV. It’s big inside for starters , and while the battery from the hybrid kit reduces the Trofeo’s healthy 570-litre boot capacity to 535-litres, it’s still large enough for most needs.
