Maserati remains committed to the electrification game, as they just unveiled the new Grecale Folgore. The zero-emission crossover was unveiled at the 2023 Shanghai Auto Show in China, and it's another step towards the all-quiet future of the Trident brand, as it will go fully electric by the end of the decade.
A 105-kWh battery pack powers the dual-motor setup of the crossover. It has 550 hp (557 ps/410 kW) combined and a peak torque of 605 lb-ft (820 Nm). It needs 4.1 seconds to sprint to 62 mph (100 kph) from naught, and it tops out at 137 mph (220 kph). The WLTP range on a full charge is estimated at 311 miles (500 km), and plugging it in at a DC station for just under 30 minutes will juice it up from 20 to 80%.
The Grecale Folgore has four driving modes named the GT, Sport, Off-Road, and Max Range. The latter should be used when the battery drops to under 16%, and it will limit the top speed to 81 mph (130 kph), reduce the throttle response, and make the HVAC system less power thirsty. An air suspension is also included, Maserati says, for a more comfortable drive in the urban jungle or on the highway.
