## Verdict

- **Best value year**: 2023

- **Target mileage**: 5,000–15,000 miles
- **Max previous owners**: 1
- **Target price**: £52,000

## Why this model

If you're after something with serious style and a bit more exclusivity than the usual German luxury SUVs, the Maserati Grecale is a fantastic choice. It drives well, looks stunning, and offers a comfortable, high-tech interior. It's a relatively new model, so you're getting a very modern car, but be prepared for typical luxury car running costs.

## What you should pay

The Grecale, being a premium brand, experiences significant depreciation in its early years. Buying a 2023 model means someone else has taken the biggest hit, allowing you to get into a nearly new luxury SUV for a much more palatable price. Prices are still firm due to its newness, but expect them to soften further over the next year or two. Always negotiate, especially on cars that aren't volume sellers.

## Which trim to buy

The Modena trim hits the sweet spot. It gets a more powerful 330hp mild-hybrid engine compared to the GT's 300hp, plus some extra standard features like larger wheels, adaptive suspension, and a more luxurious interior finish. It offers a noticeable step up in performance and feel without the significant price jump and running costs of the top-tier Trofeo.

## What to check before you buy

- Infotainment glitches
- Minor electrical issues
- Higher maintenance costs than rivals

## Running costs

Running a Grecale won't be cheap. Fuel costs for the mild-hybrid will be around 18-20p per mile based on current petrol prices and 30 MPG. Road tax (VED) will be £190 for the first year, then £190 annually plus the £390 luxury car surcharge for vehicles over £40k new, making it £580 per year. Insurance will be high, likely in the £1,000-£2,000+ range depending on your profile. Servicing will also be at Maserati main dealer prices, so budget accordingly.

## Key stats

- **Fuel Type**: Mild Hybrid
- **Horsepower**: 300-330 hp
- **Mpg**: 30-32 MPG
- **Reliability Score**: Below average
- **Safety Rating**: 5 Stars (Euro NCAP 2022)

## Trim comparison

| Trim | Price new | Price used | Key features |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| GT | £60,000 | £48,000 | 19-inch alloy wheels; Leather upholstery; 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster |
| Modena | £70,000 | £55,000 | 20-inch alloy wheels; Adaptive Skyhook suspension; Limited-slip differential |
| Trofeo | £100,000 | £80,000 | 21-inch alloy wheels; 530hp V6 Nettuno engine; Carbon fibre trim |

## Depreciation forecast

| Year | Estimated value | Retention |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 2026 | £52,000 | 100% |
| 2027 | £45,000 | 86.5% |
| 2028 | £38,000 | 73.1% |
| 2029 | £32,000 | 61.5% |
| 2030 | £28,000 | 53.8% |

The steepest depreciation hit has already been absorbed by the first owner. Buying a 2-3 year old Grecale like a 2023 model allows you to enjoy a significant discount from new, though it will continue to depreciate at a steady rate, typical for a luxury performance SUV.

Total value lost since new: 46.15%.
