Maserati Grecale Engine Twin-turbo V6 90 MTC Power 530 bhp Maximum Torque 620 Nm Acceleration 0-100 kmph 3.8 seconds. Top Speed 285 kmph Price ₹1.31 crore (ex-showroom)

For those Maserati enthusiasts looking for a slice of the Italian luxe carmaker on the streets of Mumbai and Delhi, minus the stress of ground clearance, speed breakers and potholes, the Grecale is avowedly built for Indian roads.

Today, we're steering the Grecale around town. This is Maserati’s second SUV after the Levante, a beauty in itself. In the tradition of Maserati naming its cars after a ‘wind’, the Grecale is a Mediterranean wind (after Mistral, Ghibli and Levante).
