Maserati has launched the Grecale facelift in India on 30 Oct 2026, with the updated luxury SUV starting at ₹1.14 crore ex-showroom. The refresh adds a new Nettuno V6 option and keeps the all-electric Grecale Folgore in the line-up, giving premium SUV buyers petrol, mild-hybrid and electric choices under one nameplate.

Key takeaways
- The Grecale facelift starts at ₹1.14 crore ex-showroom in India, as reported on 30 Oct 2026.
- The updated range has four petrol variants—Grecale, Modena, Modena V6 and Trofeo—plus the electric Folgore.
- The new Modena V6 brings a 3.0-litre Nettuno engine rated at 390 hp.
- The main changes are a sharper front design, cabin revisions and a wider choice of propulsion systems.
What Maserati has changed
The India launch follows Maserati’s global reveal of the refreshed Grecale range. The most visible change is at the front: the SUV gets a redesigned bumper and a more pronounced concave grille influenced by the MCPura supercar. Maserati and Autocar India describe the new treatment as a sharper, more sporting face, with larger air intakes and air curtains intended to manage airflow around the front wheels.
The cabin also receives a measured rather than all-new redesign. The updated Grecale gets an octagonal steering wheel, a revised digital clock with a metal bezel and backlit metal buttons for the gear selector. The exact equipment mix remains variant-dependent, so a buyer comparing the base SUV with the higher trims will need to check the written specification sheet rather than assume that every feature is standard across the range.
Powertrain choices in the refreshed range
New V6 broadens the petrol line-up
Autocar India reports that the Grecale continues with four petrol choices: the entry-level Grecale, Modena, Modena V6 and Trofeo. The important addition is the Modena V6, which uses a 3.0-litre Nettuno V6 producing 390 hp. The official Stellantis announcement also confirms the debut of a 390-hp Nettuno engine on the updated Grecale, making the new middle variant the headline mechanical change.
The petrol versions are aimed at different kinds of premium-SUV use. The entry trim and Modena retain the four-cylinder mild-hybrid route, while the Modena V6 adds a more performance-focused engine. The Trofeo remains the range-topping petrol choice. This is useful context for Indian buyers because the lower starting price does not describe the driving character, equipment or ownership cost of every Grecale variant.
Folgore keeps an electric alternative
The Grecale Folgore remains part of the India range as the fully electric alternative. Its presence matters beyond the headline launch because running-cost comparisons are not only about the purchase price: charging access, home electrical capacity, public-charger availability and the length of regular trips all affect whether an EV fits a household’s routine. Buyers assessing charging access can use FuelPrice’s state-wise EV charging directory before comparing the Folgore with the petrol variants.
What the launch means for Indian buyers
The ₹1.14 crore figure is an ex-showroom starting price, not the final amount payable at registration. The on-road quote will vary with the state, registration charges, insurance, selected variant, options and any dealer-listed items. That distinction is especially important in the premium segment, where a small change in specification can move the final bill materially. The right comparison is a written, variant-specific quotation rather than the launch price alone.
Running cost is the second major distinction. The petrol variants’ fuel expense will depend on annual kilometres, traffic conditions, driving style and the split between city and highway use. A household can estimate its own fuel outlay with the fuel cost calculator using its actual route and consumption assumptions. That estimate is more useful than applying a single mileage figure to every owner because the Grecale range includes different engines and usage patterns.
The Folgore changes the calculation but does not remove it. An EV buyer needs to compare charging tariffs and charging time with the convenience of a petrol stop, then check whether the places used for work, home and long-distance travel have suitable charging. For a longer journey, the road-trip planner can help identify the trip requirements before a purchase decision is made. These are ownership checks, not promises of savings; actual costs depend on the vehicle, route, tariff and driver.
Checks to make before booking
- Confirm the exact variant, ex-showroom price and included equipment in writing. The official starting price applies to the entry point of the range, not automatically to the Modena V6 or Trofeo.
- Ask for the complete on-road breakup, including registration, insurance, accessories and any service or protection package. Compare like-for-like quotations.
- Check which cabin, safety and driver-assistance features are standard on the chosen variant and which are optional or tied to a higher trim.
- For a petrol version, compare the expected annual fuel use with the actual kilometres driven. For the Folgore, check home-charging feasibility and reliable public charging along regular routes.
- Verify delivery timing, warranty terms, service coverage and the treatment of customisation requests directly with the authorised sales channel.
What to watch next
The immediate question is how Maserati’s variant-wise pricing, availability and customer deliveries settle after the India launch. The company’s India model page provides the current range and links to stock and dealer tools, while independent launch reports provide the technical and price context. Buyers should treat dealer quotations and the official specification sheet as the final reference for the vehicle they are actually considering.
The Grecale facelift is therefore more than a styling update, but it is not a single uniform product. Its reader-facing significance is the new choice between a sharper petrol line-up, a new V6 step-up and an electric Folgore. Comparing the complete purchase and running-cost picture will matter more than comparing the starting number alone.
