Maserati has spent the last few years surrounded by uncomfortable questions about its future. Sales pressure, changing EV plans, and rumors about the brand’s long-term place inside Stellantis have made the Trident feel less secure than it should.
For 2027, Maserati is pushing back with a refreshed core lineup. The GranTurismo, GranCabrio, and Grecale all receive updates aimed at sharpening design, improving performance, and reminding buyers that the brand still has some fight left.
This is not a ground-up reinvention, and Maserati is not pretending otherwise. Instead, the updates feel like a carefully targeted effort to keep its most important models relevant while the company works out its next chapter.
That matters because Maserati still has ingredients enthusiasts want. Beautiful proportions, Italian character, strong engines, and a willingness to be a little different remain part of the formula.
A Sharper New Face
The most obvious changes appear up front. Maserati has redesigned the front fascias of the GranTurismo, GranCabrio, and Grecale with a sharper look inspired by the track-only MCXtrema and road-going MCPura.
On the GranTurismo and GranCabrio, the old rounded grille gives way to a larger hexagonal opening. Squared-off corner vents add a more aggressive appearance, while new taillights and wheel designs complete the exterior refresh.
The Grecale’s changes are subtler. Its lower grille is revised, the bumper has a slightly more pronounced shark-nose shape, and small vertical vents help guide airflow around the front wheel wells.
More Power For The Trofeo Twins
The biggest performance news belongs to the GranTurismo Trofeo and GranCabrio Trofeo. Both models now produce 582 horsepower from Maserati’s twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter Nettuno V6.
That represents a 40-hp increase over the previous versions. Maserati says the gain comes from revised engine calibration and added boost, while a broader torque curve should make the cars feel stronger across more of the rev range.
The exhaust has also been retuned to give the V6 more character. That is important because Maserati still trades heavily on emotion, and sound remains part of the brand’s appeal.
Grecale Gets A Clearer Lineup
The Grecale SUV also receives powertrain updates for 2027. Maserati is expanding use of the detuned 385-hp Nettuno V6 that was previously announced for the U.S. market.
A new Grecale V6 trim joins the lineup, with the Modena V6 positioned above it. The Grecale Trofeo remains the flagship gasoline SUV, continuing with 523 horsepower from its version of the Nettuno engine.
The electric Grecale Folgore also improves slightly. Maserati says aerodynamic changes and a new grille shutter system help increase range to as much as 268 miles, depending on specification.
Folgore Models Stay In The Mix
Maserati’s electric Folgore models are not being abandoned. The GranTurismo Folgore and GranCabrio Folgore continue with tri-motor electric powertrains making more than 750 horsepower.
Both remain extremely quick, with 0-60 mph runs under three seconds. Updated battery management also improves range, with the GranTurismo Folgore rated around 249 miles and the GranCabrio Folgore around 251 miles.
That said, Maserati executives are not chasing plug-in hybrids. The company is more interested in 48-volt mild hybrids, full hybrids, and possibly even future V8s for customers who still want larger engines.
Maserati Still Has Some Tricks Up Its Sleeve
During the lineup reveal, executives hinted that Maserati has not forgotten about sedans or traditional enthusiast hardware. A future Quattroporte-style four-door remains possible, and the brand’s boutique Fuoriserie program may even preserve manual transmissions for special projects.
Those are not mainstream product confirmations, but they show Maserati is still thinking about passion as well as profit, and for a brand like this, that’s important.
The 2027 refresh will not solve every problem facing Maserati. It does, however, prove the company is still investing in its cars, refining its identity, and trying to keep the Trident visible in a brutally competitive luxury market. For now, that is enough to show Maserati is not ready to fade quietly into the background.
