Maserati Grecale vs. Porsche Macan
Finding a luxury compact SUV is easy these days. But finding the best luxury compact SUV takes some work. This is why it pays to see how different cars match up to one another, like Maserati vs. Porsche models. Here Zeigler Maserati compares the 2023 Maserati Grecale and the Porsche Macan.
Power
The 2023 Maserati Grecale has a potent turbocharged 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine that produces 296 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque. There’s also a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 that offers 523 horsepower and 457 lb-ft of torque.
The base Porsche Macan also comes with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder, but it only has 261 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. And its top engine can’t compete with the Maserati Grecale’s, as it’s a twin-turbocharged 2.9-liter V6 that puts out 434 horsepower and 405 lb-ft of torque.
Space and Comfort
Both rows in the 2023 Maserati Grecale are spacious and five people will fit nicely. Standard features in this new Maserati model include leather upholstery, heated and ventilated front seats, and a heated steering wheel.
The Porsche Macan also seats five people, but the back seat will be cramped for taller folks. Plus, you would need to upgrade to get leather upholstery, ventilated front seats, or a heated steering wheel.
Tech Features
The 2023 Maserati Grecale comes with the most state-of-the-art tech components, including an infotainment system that consists of a 12.3- and 8.8-inch touchscreen. It also comes with:
- Apple CarPlay®
- Android Auto™
- Amazon Alexa®
- “Hey Maserati” virtual assistant
- Navigation
- 14-speaker stereo
- HD and satellite radio
- Keyless entry
The Porsche Macan comes with some of the same features, but Amazon Alexa® and HD radio aren’t among them. Plus, it has one touchscreen that measures in at 10.9-inches, and its standard stereo only has 10 speakers.
