Maserati Refreshes GranTurismo, GranCabrio and Grecale With Sharper Styling and More V6 Power

Maserati has given three of its most important current models a coordinated update, refreshing the GranTurismo coupe, GranCabrio convertible and Grecale SUV with a tougher-looking front end, revised V6 power outputs, new wheel and paint choices, and efficiency improvements for electric Folgore versions.

The changes are not a full redesign. Instead, this is a mid-cycle sharpening exercise aimed at making Maserati’s core showroom cars look more closely aligned with its more extreme recent performance projects, particularly the track-only MCXtrema and the MCPura supercar. For buyers, that means the familiar model range stays in place, but with a clearer visual link to Maserati’s halo machinery and a few meaningful mechanical updates.

A more aggressive family look

The most obvious change is at the front. The GranTurismo, GranCabrio and Grecale all receive reshaped noses with a more assertive bumper treatment. Maserati says the new design is not only cosmetic; the revised front sections are intended to improve airflow management.

On the GranTurismo and GranCabrio, the update includes a central splitter designed to contribute to front-end downforce. That matters more on the coupe and convertible than on the SUV, because both grand tourers are positioned as high-speed performance cars rather than merely luxury cruisers. Even so, the visual result is likely to be the first thing most buyers notice: the new face is sharper and less understated than before.

The shift in tone is significant for Maserati. The brand has traditionally leaned on elegance and restraint, especially on its grand tourers. This update pushes the cars toward a more overtly sporting image. Some buyers will welcome the extra presence; others may prefer the softer look of earlier versions. Either way, the refresh makes Maserati’s current range more visually consistent with its limited-run and track-focused models.

New wheels, wider stance and fresh colors

The updated models also gain new Tridente wheels finished in gloss black. Their design is inspired by the wheels used on the MCPura Cielo, and they are more than a styling flourish: they increase the track width by 10 mm.

That small widening should help the cars feel more planted, particularly during cornering and high-speed driving. A 10 mm change is not transformational on its own, but it can contribute to stability when paired with tire, suspension and aerodynamic tuning. It also gives the cars a broader stance, which supports the more aggressive bodywork.

Maserati is adding new paint choices as part of the update, including Matte Green Jupiter and Blu Denim. These sorts of personalization options are especially important in the luxury segment, where customers often want a car that feels more individual than a standard premium offering from Germany or Britain.

Grecale gains a new V6 middle ground

The most important mechanical update for the Grecale is the introduction of a 385 bhp version of Maserati’s 3.0-liter V6. This engine option slots between the existing 2.0-liter four-cylinder mild-hybrid Grecale and the full-strength Grecale Trofeo.

That fills a useful gap. Until now, Grecale buyers who wanted more character and performance than the four-cylinder models provided had to step up to the Trofeo, which uses a 522 bhp version of the same V6. The new 385 bhp variant should appeal to drivers who want the sound, response and prestige of a six-cylinder Maserati without committing to the cost, performance level or running expenses of the range-topping Trofeo.

For shoppers comparing the Grecale with models such as the Porsche Macan, BMW X3 M40i or Mercedes-AMG GLC variants, this new V6 could make Maserati’s SUV easier to justify. The four-cylinder versions may remain the more rational choice for many buyers, especially where taxation or fuel costs matter, but the V6 gives the Grecale a stronger emotional draw.

GranTurismo and GranCabrio Trofeo get more power

The Trofeo versions of the GranTurismo and GranCabrio also receive a power increase. Their 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 now produces 581 bhp, up from the previous output of roughly 542 bhp.

That brings the grand tourers closer to the output levels expected in the upper end of the luxury performance segment. The GranTurismo and GranCabrio are not meant to be stripped-out sports cars; they are long-distance performance machines with a premium cabin and everyday usability. Even so, horsepower matters in this category, particularly when rivals offer increasingly rapid combustion, hybrid and electric alternatives.

The added output should improve acceleration and give Trofeo models a clearer separation from lower trims. It also helps preserve the appeal of Maserati’s V6 at a time when high-performance EVs can deliver huge straight-line numbers with relative ease.

Folgore EV versions get more range

Maserati is also improving the driving range of the electric Folgore versions, though detailed figures have not been confirmed in the available information. The Folgore badge is central to Maserati’s electrification strategy, appearing on models such as the GranTurismo Folgore, GranCabrio Folgore and Grecale Folgore.

Range improvements matter because electric luxury buyers are not only comparing performance. They are weighing convenience, charging frequency and long-distance usability. For the GranTurismo and GranCabrio in particular, the ability to cover meaningful distances fits the grand-touring brief. For the Grecale, extra range strengthens its case as a premium daily driver and family SUV.

Without final numbers, it is too early to judge how competitive the updated Folgore models will be against electric rivals. Still, any increase in range is welcome in a segment where buyers expect both performance and comfort without constant charging compromises.

Interior changes are modest

Inside, the updates are described as a light refresh rather than a cabin overhaul. That suggests buyers should expect trim, material or presentation changes rather than a fundamentally new dashboard architecture.

This is sensible for a mid-cycle update. Maserati’s current interiors already rely heavily on digital displays and premium materials, and a complete redesign would be unusual at this stage. The bigger question for customers will be whether the refreshed cabins feel special enough compared with increasingly polished rivals.

Why this update matters

For Maserati, these changes arrive at an important time. The brand competes in a crowded and unforgiving luxury-performance market, where heritage alone is not enough. Buyers expect distinctive design, strong performance, advanced technology and a sense of occasion, but they also compare monthly payments, residual values, charging capability and dealer support.

The refreshed GranTurismo, GranCabrio and Grecale do not radically change Maserati’s formula. Instead, they refine it. The sharper styling gives the cars more showroom impact, the new Grecale V6 broadens the SUV’s appeal, the Trofeo power bump keeps the grand tourers competitive, and the Folgore range improvements address one of the biggest practical concerns for EV buyers.

For enthusiasts, the update is a reminder that Maserati is still investing in combustion performance as it expands its electric lineup. For buyers, the key takeaway is choice: mild-hybrid four-cylinder, new mid-level V6, high-output Trofeo and electric Folgore options now sit in a more clearly layered range.

Pricing, market-specific availability and final electric range figures will determine how strong the refreshed models look on paper. But the direction is clear: Maserati is trying to make its mainstream lineup feel more dramatic, more powerful and more closely tied to the performance image that has long defined the brand.
