I am joined by Tony from ‪@BehindTheGlass‬ as I get behind the wheel of the new #Maserati #Grecale Trofeo for the first time.
This was during the Maserati UK Press Tour which meant we only had about 30 minutes with the car, but it was enough to form some fairly strong opinions about the new Macan/X3 rival.

@tyler9703 Год назад

This and the MC20 are two seriously enticing cars to me. I know theyre not quite as good as their rivals, but theres something about a two-car garage of just Maseratis that makes me WANT them both

@miks564 Год назад

For me, the Grecale is one of if not the best SUV in this segment. ...But being the best is always ephemeral and different from person to person.

@nailil5722 11 месяцев назад

buddy. This is probably the best SUV to come out this year. Look at all the other reviews, everyone is praising it top to bottom

@MonkeyFencing Год назад

Sam you are one of the only channels that I watch every single second of. Great content and always engaging! Well done and wishing you continued success.

@YachtReport Год назад

Reference the Macan you mentioned, I have that model with all the buttons, and it's way better than the new one with a piece of glass with digital buttons. When that piece of glass/plastic fails, it will all fail, much more expensive to repair. Also it's easier to use the buttons on mine as you can remember where they are by feel, and don't need to take your eyes off the road.

@nolanmackey4175 Год назад

Something that lots of people seem to forget is that buttons do not get dated like infotainment graphics do. As soon as a manufacturer updates the graphics older models immediately feel old and outdated. Buttons never get outdated.

@scottmyers4069 Год назад

Great review. I actually just ordered one of these new for my wife's daily after a test drive. A bit pricey, but the Macan Turbo and other cars just didn't have this kind of polish and performance. I loved the way the Stelvio QV drove more, but the interior was so austere at $100K... and the large wheel gap look is awful. But you are right, all the cars in this class are all a bit too "polished" today unless in corsa driving hard. And the reason it feels like a Stelvio is it is built on the same Stelantis platform that is stretched a bit.

@Dennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn 9 месяцев назад

FCA Giorgio platform. Not from Stelantis!

@scottmyers4069 9 месяцев назад

Correct. And who owns FCA? Stellantis is the answer.

@ottob9356 Год назад

Been waiting for this since the podcast, love this format and hope you and tony go on more press tours

@fabiomonne4522 Год назад

I feel like a bit of clarity is needed. The Grecale is based on the same Giorgio platform that the Stelvio and the Giulia were based on. Moreover only the MC20 gets the fancy precombustion chamber, the Grecale and the new GrandTurismo don't. So the engine was originally Ferrari, then was reowrked into a V6 for Alfa Romeo, then was reworked to include the precombustion chamber and was reworked once more to remove the precombustion chamber

@Turbojetkart Год назад

nope.... all wrong

@AlbertManiscalco Год назад

they all get the precombustion chamber only they are detuned from the MC20, with 550 for the trofeo gt and 530 for the grecale

@marcelhandsome6042 Год назад

Beautiful car! expensive but you buy for the exclusivity! these guys are mentioning the Macan being much cheaper but the Porsche isn't exclusive or special enough! The Levante Trofeo should also be considered the old-school enthusiast's choice with magical, orchestral V8 sounds!

@RedC220 Год назад

I've been looking forward to a good review of this car, I quite fancy one. However at the risk of sounding like a stuck record, I struggle with touch screen everything. It's less to do with being a dinosaur and missing buttons, but more to do with the fact I'm a middle aged man and need reading glasses to actually see what's on the screen. So need to pull over to operate anything when driving alone. A few buttons for some basic functions would actually be much safer.

@Rasscasse Год назад

Agreed 👍

@AlbertManiscalco Год назад

im sure it becomes second nature...i wouldnt let that put you off

@Rasscasse Год назад

I consider it more than inconvenient, I don’t think it’s safe. I can turn my heater and audio volume up-and-down without even looking, because of muscle memory and knowing exactly where the controls are, not needing to look at a screen.

@RedC220 Год назад

@@AlbertManiscalco I doesn't. I had a Porsche Taycan for a while and simply didn't find it safe. Even moving the airflow on the vents was a series of menus. It's no different to using a mobile phone whilst driving, yet seems to have been deemed acceptable.

@miks564 Год назад

I understand you. I also prefer physical buttons (I believe most people prefer them - but it's cheap to manufacture all included in the digital domain). That said, you can take another approach and start asking the car for the stuff you want. Learning voice commands is not that hard.

@9MAS Год назад

Good video. Maserati really need some help with their PR and brand placement. Their social media and Beckham obsession is a big turn off. If they are going to lure Land Rover and Porsche drivers they have to up their game. I’ve gone from 15 years of driving Range Rovers to a Levante and really rate it, dealing with my local Ferrari dealer for serving etc is another level to the shit show of tying to book my Range Rover in at the dealer. Plus my Maserati has done 15k miles in a year and not missed a beat. Used ones are good value and an so far an enjoyable ownership experience , just try not to think of the residuals.

@W0o0dy Год назад

Just keep it long enough for the residuals to be neglible... And hope it won't break before hand

@ajcgolf69 Год назад

I actually said the thing about the Ford Puma lights 30 seconds before Sam! Personally I think the Alfa Stelvio looks much better than the gracale

@paultaylor9652 Год назад

Fun time car reviews are back, more please Sam and Tony.

@Fusionawdecoboost2016 Год назад

The Grecale is a good looking car. I bet Tony will be able to get a good deal on these once they are out. Also I was reading that It’s the same platform as the Stelvio and the 5th gen Grand Cherokee.

@miks564 Год назад

It is indeed built over the same Giorgio platform which promises great dynamic behavior, but the Grecale is quite bigger and a bit heavier.... But then again, it also offers more space and luxury. I would say, class leading in these aspects.

@ailmajcen Год назад

Great video, as always. I don't think you'll get a Maserati press car again anytime soon!

@younow1511 Год назад

What the hell I absolutely fuckin love this car!!!! It’s so sick!!! To think it has 530bhp stock and since it’s an up tuned quadrifoglio engine it sounds absolutely mega; literally gives German v8s a run for their money in terms of sound. Looks wise it’s a lot better than the levante which isn’t bad looking at all. What a car!

Maserati are in that grey area of the car world, they are a poor man’s Ferrari but brand wise they are above the Germans etc. so I think it comes down to where the brand is on the market

@davidthegolfer Год назад

When Tony took over the driving and pushed the loud pedal Sam became Stan Laurel for a while. (A bit, “another fine mess you got me into Tony”). BTW, the sound of the indicators is terrible. I wouldn’t buy it but it seems to be a good package. Oops, I typed that just before he mentioned the price. Needs a 20% discount at the very least.

@robmowe8090 Год назад

It's nice that you got to do a video with your dad. That Maserati is like they asked an AI art generator to make an Italian Macan. It just looks a bit dull and a few generations old from the outside. Also, I like some buttons as using a touch screen on bumpy British roads is somewhere between difficult and dangerous. Great video though :)

@ste.fiorav Год назад

Price: what are you saying ??? I spec'd some "normal" X3 and Velar and it came easily 100k... the X3M STARTS from 114k€... the Macan GTS STRARTS from 102k€...

@warrenber Год назад

You nailed the review. I’ve owned a fully loaded Modena Limited Edition for almost 3 months now and what started as a 7.5 score is now a 4. The more you live with it, the more the flaws stand out. Ive owned it for 80days and it’s spent 57 of those in the service center. I’ve never been able to get used to the tractor sound like a thought I would. The brakes are extremely grabby especially at low speeds and city driving and I have never been able to offer a smooth driving experience when stopping at lights. The black gloss buttons are extremely cheap looking and the weak backlighting means you cannot see what they are if you wear sunglasses and it’s sunny. The key and keyless entry system is a mess and the car never stops beeping. Even touching the door handle with the doors open results in 2 beeps. You can literally play music with the door handles. I’ve driven 2 loaners too and even those had issues like windscreen wipers that turn on in bright sunlight, key issues and front collision warning issues. The software is full of bugs and there have been a lot of software updates, and unfortunately even though the car has over the air updates, they are not using it so expect a lot of visits to the dealership. I bought with the heart, not with the head. Listen to these guys and an owner like me. Don’t buy it!!!

@MrBridark Год назад

That’s a shame - I’ve had my trofeo since March and so far hasn’t missed a beat or it’s just that I’m not observant. Nothing is perfect of course but I’m enjoying my time with it. I hope yours get sorted soon

@miks564 Год назад

@@MrBridark These comments are usually fake, paid from competitors or worse, from haters. ...it's like Putin propaganda but in the car industry. A real shame. When we dislike a car, we don't look for videos about it to trash it. We look for videos of our next car. Think about it.

@mikewallace1723 Год назад

More interesting than my previous Porsche Cayenne though. Depends what you want. I need a car for long journeys and a bit of fun. One car garage, so limited. Makes a nice sound and handles well. Exterior ok but the interior sold it for me. Feels much more luxurious than Cayenne with a bit of flare. Saving me money as well. Friends laugh as I have downsized to a Maserati 😂😂😂
