The Maserati Grecale might be late, but that’s not stopping the automaker from hyping the new model’s upcoming debut. A new teaser doesn’t show off much of the crossover, but it does say that its triple-digit top speed will “make your heart race.” At what speed does this happen? We’ll have to wait until Maserati tells us on March 22.
That’s when we’ll get a clear understanding of the model’s powertrains because Maserati has been quite quiet about its new crossover. Rumors point to the model borrowing powertrains from the similarly sized Alfa Romeo Stelvio. That means the Alfa’s 2.0-liter four-cylinder could power the entry-level Grecale while the twin-turbocharged 2.9-liter V6 from the Stelvio Quadrifoglio could power a more potent Grecale Trofeo variant. The Stelvio has a 176-mile-per-hour (283-kilometer-per-hour) top speed. The four-cylinder hits 144 mph (231 kph). Is that fast enough for Maserati?
