The Maserati Grecale Trofeo stands out in an increasingly crowded performance-SUV segment by offering a compelling mix of character, capability and pure driving excitement. While rivals from Germany and Japan deliver impressive performance and sophistication, the Trofeo injects an unmistakable Italian soul into every journey — a quality that’s immediately evident the moment you approach it.
At its heart lies the 3.0-litre, twin-turbo V6 Nettuno engine, Maserati’s jewel-in-the-crown powerplant, producing around 530 PS and 620 Nm of torque. This potent engine propels the Grecale Trofeo from 0–62 mph in a claimed 3.8 seconds, with a top speed of 177 mph — figures that firmly place it among the quickest SUVs on the market.
Unlike many performance SUVs that feel engineered solely for straight-line speed, the Trofeo’s dynamics are impressively well-rounded. Adaptive air suspension and a limited-slip rear differential are standard, providing a chassis that feels both agile and planted. Maserati’s Vehicle Dynamic Control Module works with multiple drive modes — including a dedicated Corsa mode — to tailor throttle response, steering weight and damping characteristics to the driver’s intent.
On twisty roads, the Grecale Trofeo rewards enthusiastic driving with a surprisingly composed demeanour. It leans less than one might expect from a 4×4 SUV of this size and weight, and the steering is communicative enough to keep the experience engaging without inducing fatigue. The “Italian-tuned” suspension strikes a balance that’s firmer than a soft-roader but still compliant on less perfect surfaces — a nod to Maserati’s efforts to blend performance with everyday usability.
Of course, performance isn’t just about numbers. One of the Trofeo’s biggest charms is its soundtrack. The V6’s exhaust note is throaty and expressive, especially when you toggle into the louder drive modes, adding emotional depth to acceleration that many competitors lack. Whether you’re merging onto a highway or accelerating out of a bend, the engine’s vocal presence reinforces that this isn’t just an SUV — it’s a sporting machine.
Inside, the cabin reflects Maserati’s commitment to luxury and detail. Quality materials abound, with premium leathers, contrast stitching, carbon-fibre trim and a driver-centric cockpit that feels purposeful yet refined. Infotainment and digital displays are modern and responsive, and the interior ambience — warmed by tasteful Italian design cues — elevates the daily driving experience. The seating is supportive for long distances, and rear passengers benefit from plenty of space and comfort.
Practicality is also surprisingly good for the category. The Grecale Trofeo offers a generous boot for luggage or gear, and although some rivals might provide slightly more cargo flexibility, the Trofeo doesn’t feel compromised as a primary family car. All-wheel drive and a comprehensive suite of safety and driver-assist tech provide confidence for both urban cruising and longer touring.
That said, the Grecale Trofeo isn’t without its compromises. Fuel economy languishes in the mid-20s (mpg) thanks to the thirsty V6, which is about what you’d expect given its performance, but it’s far from frugal compared to milder rivals. The price tag — starting just under £100,000 in the UK — also places it in premium territory where it competes with established players like the Porsche Macan Turbo and BMW X3 M. Convincing buyers to choose Maserati’s relatively new SUV over these established favourites may hinge largely on personal taste and brand appeal.
Ultimately, the Grecale Trofeo is an SUV that’s hard to ignore if exhilaration and personality matter as much as raw performance. It offers distinctive Italian styling, a captivating engine, supple yet sporty dynamics and a luxurious cabin — all of which add up to a package that’s as enjoyable on a spirited back road as it is on a daily commute. In a segment dominated by technical excellence, the Trofeo stands out by delivering something tangible: emotion.
