Maserati has officially launched the Grecale Folgore in India at a starting price of ₹1.89 crore (ex-showroom), marking the arrival of the Italian luxury brand’s first all-electric SUV in the country. This debut signifies a pivotal step in Maserati’s global electrification journey under its Folgore (Italian for “lightning”) sub-brand.
Following the introduction of the Grecale GT, Modena, and Trofeo variants in 2024, the all-electric Grecale Folgore now completes the lineup — bringing Maserati’s signature blend of design, performance, and sophistication into the EV era.
Design: Italian Craftsmanship Meets Electric Innovation
The Grecale Folgore retains the elegant and athletic proportions of its ICE-powered siblings while introducing unique design cues to reflect its electric identity.
The low-set closed grille, inspired by the MC20 supercar, gives the SUV a sleeker and more aerodynamic profile. The sculpted bonnet, coupe-like roofline, and sharp trapezoidal contours enhance visual aggression without compromising refinement.
At the rear, boomerang-shaped LED tail lamps nod to the legendary Maserati 3200 GT, merging heritage with modernity. The result is a design that feels futuristic yet unmistakably Maserati — elegant, powerful, and emotionally engaging.
Powertrain and Performance
Under the floor sits a 105 kWh battery pack powering a dual-motor all-wheel-drive system, producing an impressive 542 bhp and 820 Nm of torque.
Performance figures place the Grecale Folgore among the quickest electric SUVs in its class:
- 0–100 km/h: 4.1 seconds

- Range: ~500 km (WLTP cycle)
Charging options include:

The instant torque and precise power distribution promise a driving experience that’s both refined and engaging, maintaining Maserati’s hallmark balance between luxury cruising and dynamic performance.
