The X3M, F-Pace SVR and Stelvio Quadrifoglio have a new rival - is the 530hp Grecale up to the challenge?
; both tantalising prospects, but hardly the high-volume money makers. To be competitive in 2023 and beyond, a good SUV range is a must. Right off the bat, the Grecale feels like a much more concerted effort than the Levante ever did. There’s the Folgore coming to rival the Macan EV, mild-hybrid petrols where there might once have been out-of-favour diesels, and even one to go chasing X3 Ms and Stelvio QFs: the Grecale Trofeo.
In dark blue, on the big wheels of a Trofeo, and from the back, the Grecale looks smart, hunkered down like a big hatch more than most other SUVs. True, the overall design feels quite generic, especially from a marque as famed for its design as Maserati, although inevitably it's harder to take risks with a base-covering SUV than a supercar.
While there’s plenty to discuss about the driving experience, we must begin with the engine. Characteristically, it’s an absolute ripper, perhaps the best in the segment - and yes, that includes the F-Pace V8, Alfa V6 and BMW straight-six. The caveat is that the verdict comes without personal experience of the MC20; the Nettuno 3.0-litre might not seem so impressive with almost 100hp less and hundreds of kilos more to carry.
The chassis is a mixed bag. The Trofeo is modiest of all the Grecales, with a Corsa setting understandably denied to the 2.0-litre cars for six in total. At its most aggressive, the Grecale is nothing if not absorbing to drive fast: never has an SUV felt this willing to hurl motive force to the rear axle while also retaining a bit of roll in the chassis.

Corporate Giants Buy Up Primary Care Practices at Rapid PaceIt’s no surprise that the shortage of primary care doctors — who are critically important to the health of Americans — is getting worse. They practice in one of medicine’s lowest paid, least glamorous fields. Most are overworked, seeing as many as 30 people a day; figuring out when a sore throat is a strep infection, or managing a patient’s chronic diabetes. So why are multibillion-dollar corporations, particularly giant health insurers, gobbling up primary care practices? CVS Health, with its s
