Picture yourself sliding into the driver’s seat of an Italian electric SUV — welcome to the world of the Maserati Grecale Folgore, now in India and ready to stun.
The iconic luxury car maker Maserati has launched the Grecale Folgore in India with an ex-showroom price of ₹1.89 crore. This marks a big move for Maserati, as the Folgore is its first all-electric SUV and sets a new benchmark in the luxury EV segment in India.
Why This Matters to You
Even if you’re not shopping for a luxury electric car right now, this launch gives a peek into where premium vehicles and sustainable mobility are headed. For car lovers and future buyers alike, the Grecale Folgore signals how performance, luxury and electric power can come together.
What’s Under the Hood
- It features a dual-motor, all-wheel-drive setup, producing a combined output of 550 hp and 820 Nm torque.
- The battery pack is a hefty 105 kWh, giving a claimed range of about 500 km (WLTP) on a single charge.
- For performance fans: 0-100 km/h in about 4.1 seconds, and a top speed of around 220 km/h.
What the Launch Price Means
At ₹1.89 crore, the Grecale Folgore is positioned in the ultra-premium end of the Indian EV market. Compared to the petrol versions of the Grecale (standard from around ₹1.31 crore, and Trofeo at ₹1.96 crore) it isn’t a big jump—but it brings an electric powertrain plus the Maserati badge.
The Interior & Design Highlights
Maserati has kept the luxury feel: inside there are large digital displays, premium materials, options for customization. Exterior design includes Folgore-badging, unique alloy wheels and the familiar Maserati grille with electric tweaks.
