Share this post:
Reading specs only gets you so far. We’ll line up a GT, Modena and Trofeo so you can feel the difference in one visit.
The 2026 Maserati Grecale comes in three gas-powered trims: GT, Modena and Trofeo. They share the same body, cabin, all-wheel drive and 8-speed automatic, and differ mainly in engine, suspension and how hard they’re built to be driven.
This guide covers what each Grecale trim adds and whether each step up is worth it. The best way to decide is to drive them back to back, which we can set up in Fort Lauderdale.
The Grecale is sold in three gas trims, GT, Modena and Trofeo, plus the fully electric Grecale Folgore. Each step up adds power and performance hardware rather than a different body or interior layout.
The comfortable daily driver.
Sharper handling for drivers who enjoy the road.
The performance Grecale.
Figures are manufacturer-stated and vary by model year and configuration. Confirm final specification with our product specialists, and see current Grecale pricing.
The GT is the Grecale built for daily comfort. Its four-cylinder engine works with a 48-volt mild-hybrid system that smooths stop-start traffic and adds a little low-speed shove.
It’s the right Grecale for most commuting and highway driving. You get the same cabin, technology and all-wheel drive as the trims above it.
For 2026, the Modena swaps the four-cylinder for a 385-horsepower Nettuno V6. It also gets quad exhaust tips, standard air suspension and a louder exhaust note.
It’s the sweet spot of the lineup, with V6 performance below the Trofeo’s price. Modenas built before 2026 use the GT’s four-cylinder, so check the model year if you’re shopping pre-owned.
The Trofeo gets the full-output, 523-horsepower version of the same Nettuno V6. It’s the fastest Grecale by a wide margin and adds an electronic limited-slip differential and an exclusive Corsa drive mode.
The trade-off is cost. Fuel, tires and insurance all run higher. See how it fits with the other Trofeo models across the lineup.
The Grecale is your daily driver and comfort matters more than speed.
You want V6 sound and performance in a car you’ll drive every day, without stepping up to the Trofeo.
Performance is the point, and you want the V6 sound and acceleration.
The Grecale Folgore is fully electric and sits outside the GT, Modena and Trofeo lineup. Everything about it, from range to charging, is in our guide to the electric Grecale Folgore.
