Drivers in the market for a new Porsche Cayenne would be doing themselves a disservice by failing to compare it to the 2023 Maserati Grecale, an all-new performance luxury SUV from the storied Italian racing brand. Continue reading below as our team of Maserati experts here at Maserati of London explore the performance, technology & pricing options of these two luxurious performance SUVs.
Under the hood of the Maserati Grecale GT is a turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that generates 296 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque. On the other hand, the Porsche Cayenne comes equipped with a turbocharged 3.0-litre V6 that delivers 335 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque. Although the Porsche's engine specs are higher than the Maserati’s, the lighter and more nimble Grecale GT boasts a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 5.3 seconds versus the Cayenne’s 5.9 seconds.

When it comes to cabin comfort and technology, the Cayenne’s sterile and minimalist interior aesthetic is a stark contrast from the elegant and sumptuous, Italian-designed cabin of the Grecale GT. Both vehicles can be equipped with top-tier materials such as carbon fibre, alcantara, and a myriad of premium leather upholstery options. However, these exclusive materials are additional cost, a-la-carte options for the Porsche, while they are standard on the Maserati.
When it comes to technology features, the Grecale & the Cayenne both offer modern technology features that luxury vehicle owners have come to expect.
The 2023 Maserati Grecale’s technology features include:
