Critical Review
Review: Maserati Grecale - 2-Year Ownership Experience I’ve owned my Maserati Grecale for two years, and unfortunately, it’s been a disappointing experience, plagued by recurring issues that have eroded my trust in the brand. Here’s a detailed breakdown: 1. Reliability Issues • Service Center Time: In just two years, my car spent four months in the service center. That’s unacceptable for a luxury SUV. • Engine Problems: Stalling issues occurred multiple times, even after repeated repairs. This made the car unreliable and unsafe to drive. 2. AC and Climate Control Failures • The air conditioning frequently malfunctioned, especially during long drives. Despite multiple visits to the service center, the problem persisted. 3. Technology Flaws • Apple CarPlay Connectivity: The system is glitchy, often disconnecting or freezing, making it frustrating to use for navigation or music streaming. • Navigation System: The built-in navigation is outdated and inaccurate, falling far behind competitors in its class. 4. Parking Brake Issues • The parking brake engaged itself unexpectedly on multiple occasions. This is a serious flaw that could lead to dangerous situations. 5. Poor Customer Support • Maserati’s customer service has been disappointing, with slow responses and a lack of accountability. Each repair was met with vague explanations and no permanent solutions. Verdict While the Maserati Grecale looks stunning and performs well on rare occasions when it’s working, the consistent reliability and support issues make it impossible to recommend. A luxury car should deliver not just style but also dependability and a seamless ownership experience—this vehicle has fallen short on all fronts. Rating: 2/10 (for aesthetics and the rare days it worked without issue). Consider other options in this price range before committing.

Good design
Technical issues, software issues, poor company support
