You Can Get a Stupid Cheap Maserati From Hertz
Want a great deal on a vehicle that's lived most of its life as a rental car? Hertz is the place to go. With one of America's largest rental fleets, the agency regularly puts its former rental cars up for sale for cheap. Not even luxury brands like Maserati are immune to price drops. As Carscoops uncovered , Hertz currently has a fleet of Maseratis for sale in the US—and many of them cost less than a new Honda CR-V. The Maseratis in question are all Grecale SUVs, and they range in price from as little as $36,543 at the time of writing to a still-pretty-reasonable $48,022 for the most expensive. Photo by: Hertz And even for rental cars, the mileage on most of these Grecales isn't that bad. The cheapest one of the bunch only has 28,371 miles, while a handful of other examples have fewer than 15,000 miles. There's even one Grecale with less than 10,000 miles that costs a cool $38,999. Not bad at all. Those prices are pretty shocking considering that a brand-new Maserati Grecale will set you back at least $77,900, with the most-expensive trim—the electric Folgore—starting at a whopping $119,900 for 2025. Of course, Maserati isn't known for its reliability, and that's likely keeping consumers from snapping up these lightly used luxury SUVs. As Carscoops notes, this is already the second price drop for Hertz's Grecale fleet in recent months. That said, there haven't been many known issues surrounding the Grecale from a reliability standpoint. Maserati's SUV rides on the same platform as the Alfa Romeo Stelvio, which has been hit or miss historically in terms of reliability. We say roll the dice, what could go wrong?

Hertz is selling Maserati SUVs for Toyota RAV4 prices. Here's how many are left
Maserati vehicles are known for stylish exteriors, luxurious interiors, and incredible performance specs. Affordability isn't exactly synonymous with models from the Italian brand. Hertz is offering Maserati's newest SUV model for under $37,000, which is less than a new 2025 Toyota RAV4 Limited. The company is offering some models at extremely discounted rates compared to their actual market value. Is the Grecale worth considering at the prices Hertz is offering? So, why is it surprising that Hertz is selling Maserati Grecale models for under $40,000? The Grecale debuted as a 2023 small luxury SUV with a starting price of a whopping $63,500. While this pricing isn't mind-blowing for a Maserati luxury SUV, it's higher than what average Americans are spending on new cars (around $50,000), according to CNBC. Hertz has 29 Maserati Grecale small luxury SUVs for sale at the time of publishing. The most affordable of these Grecale SUVs starts at just $36,540 with under 29,000 miles according to the company's website. It's a 2023 base model, so it's being sold for slightly under 58% of its original MSRP. That's a depreciation rate of 42% in just a few years with low mileage. Getting a used Maserati Grecale is a great way to enjoy Maserati thrills without paying new Maserati prices. Kelley Blue Book's fair purchase price for a 2023 Maserati Grecale with under 29K miles from a dealer is $38,522. Its typical listing price is $39,222. So, you can score a Maserati Grecale for under market value if Hertz's prices are as advertised when the ink is dry on paperwork. That said, Hertz's Grecale models are located across the country and the company could tack on extra fees to the purchase, so take these prices with a grain of salt and do your own due diligence. At a glance, Hertz is offering the Grecale small luxury SUV for attractive prices, but buyers should still take caution. Kelley Blue Book's typical listing price is a solid benchmark for what the SUV's true market value is. Why has the Grecale depreciated so much in so little time, and is it a good SUV? The 2025 Maserati Grecale starts at $77,900. It uses a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine to produce 325 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque. The small luxury SUV accelerates from 0-60 miles per hour in 5.0 seconds. It achieves 22 miles per gallon in the city and 28 miles per gallon on the highway. The Grecale comes standard with all-wheel drive. Maserati's SUV features high-quality cabin materials and over 33 inches of display surfaces. Car and Driver praises the Grecale's "sporty yet comfortable ride ." Maserati's small luxury SUV offers an entry point to Maserati ownership for the average American car buyer. Heavily discounted used models are even more affordable, with a fair market value below the average price of new cars. The Grecale's rate of depreciation isn't uncommon in the luxury SUV vehicle class. So, Hertz's current Grecale offerings could be the perfect opportunity to get behind the wheel of one for interested parties.

Is the 2025 Maserati Grecale Worth It? Let's Talk Numbers
What's the price tag on a brand-new 2025 Maserati Grecale in global markets? That's exactly what we're diving into in this report. After making its debut in 2023, Maserati's luxury compact SUV — the Grecale — returns for the 2025 model year with an updated base trim and a broader selection of paint and interior options. Buyers now have access to 37 exterior colors, thanks to the expanded standard palette and Maserati's custom Fuoriserie program. Inside, there's a wider range of leather combinations, including both monochromatic and two-tone designs. The 2025 Maserati Grecale is officially on sale. The Modena trim is now $2,000 cheaper than last year's version, while the high-performance Trofeo has been discounted by $3,300. Here's a breakdown of the updated prices: Base Grecale – starting at around $70,000 Grecale Modena – from $77,995 Grecale Trofeo – from $108,395 Grecale Folgore (Electric) – from $110,495 These figures include a $1,495 destination and handling fee. Performance & Powertrain Beyond the pricing, the 2025 Grecale lineup comes with a solid mix of performance options. The base model, now simply called 'Grecale' (formerly GT), features a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine paired with a mild-hybrid system, delivering 296 horsepower. The Modena version shares the same engine but gets a performance bump to 325 horsepower. All gasoline-powered models come with an eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive as standard. While the base version now matches the Modena in raw output, the Modena still offers a more engaging driving experience thanks to adaptive suspension and a limited-slip rear differential. At the top of the lineup sits the Grecale Trofeo — a true performance SUV powered by a 3.0-liter twin-turbo Nettuno V6, borrowed from the Maserati MC20. It delivers 523 horsepower and 457 lb-ft of torque, offering a seriously sporty edge. For those leaning toward electrification, the Grecale Folgore brings dual electric motors producing a combined 542 horsepower and 604 lb-ft of torque. On paper, it outguns the Trofeo in power, but not in acceleration. Maserati claims a 0–62 mph (0–100 km/h) time of 4.0 seconds for the Folgore, compared to just 3.6 seconds for the Trofeo. According to the U.S. EPA, the Folgore's 105-kWh battery provides a driving range of up to 245 miles on the standard 20-inch wheels. Opting for 21-inch wheels slightly reduces that figure. This report covers the latest updates to the Maserati Grecale lineup for 2025 — including revised pricing and performance details across both combustion and electric models.

Maserati Spells Out What Money Can't Buy with Its Bespoke Service
Following the lead from other high-end manufacturers like Bentley and Rolls-Royce with their bespoke programs, Maserati's Officine Fuoriserie program allows customization wide freedom to pick paint colors and interior designs. The program is available on any Maserati model and in any part of the world. It does limit, however, alterations to the body: 'That's another chapter that maybe we can do in the future.' On March 26, Maserati announced a new global customization program called Officine Fuoriserie that gives its customers carte blanche when it comes to paint colors and interior designs. It's a not-unexpected move, given how successful other high-end manufacturers, including both Bentley and Rolls-Royce, have been with their bespoke programs, which in Rolls' case actually includes letting buyers design their own bodywork. The process results in unique cars personalized down to the door handles, but at a cost of some millions to the customer. Maserati head designer Karl Busse told Autoweek during the press briefing that Officine Fuoriserie customization is available on any Maserati model (including Grecale, MC20, GT2 Stradale, GranTurismo, and GranCabrio) and in any part of the world. But, journalists being journalists, the questions soon veered into what customers can't do. For instance, the company's program doesn't extend into styling the exterior, as Rolls' does. 'Generally not, no,' Busse said in response to an Autoweek query. 'This program is about paint and materials for the interior. Alterations to the body, that's another chapter that maybe we can do in the future.' Busse added, 'Color is what drives us. Our cars are like a canvas that wants to be painted. Less is more, and our process creates cars without unnecessary details.' There could be instances where customers ask for something that creates ethical or legal problems, leading to a firm no, he said. Asked by another journalist if, as a University of Florida Gators basketball fan, he could have a Maserati with alligator hide upholstery, Busse demurred, saying such an idea would depend on the ethical issues around using reptile hide in 2025. 'We use cow leather, but we know that is a left-over product from the meat industry,' he said. 'Alligator, we don't know the consequences.' A pink car? Maybe, if it's a cool pink. 'There is pink and then there is pink,' Busse said. 'We did do one for a customer and it didn't look cliched or cheesy at all, so the general answer is never no.' For exclusive automakers, programs like these are not just about maximizing the amount people pay for their cars, but also an effort to forge a close relationship with the customer, potentially leading them to become lifelong buyers of the brand. Fuoriserie will be based at Maserati headquarters in Modena, where the company has created a dedicated 43,000-square-foot space, including a lounge highlighting the catalogue choices available and a new robotic painting line capable of handling 24 cars a day, each a totally different color—some unique to the individual car. The two levels are Fuoriserie Corse, with classic colors and materials, inspired by Maserati's racing history; and Fuoriserie Futura, a look into the future with all new colors and fabric choices. And above that is Bespoke, with the customer fully in charge. 'Any model can be painted or trimmed based on the imagination of our customers,' said Santo Ficili, who is CEO of Maserati and Alfa Romeo. 'It's a world where design is unlimited, and the fondest dreams can come true.' According to Davide Baldini, the global head of Fuoriserie, colors and in-car materials can be 'without restrictions, down to the smallest detail. The customer is at the center of every stage, and we work as a team with the customer—it's a journey we go on together.' He said the car initially takes shape in the showroom, and the prospective buyer is sent a wooden box of physical samples, and is then invited to Modena to finish the process and, later, to take delivery. To show how the program might work, the company points to a specially created customer MC20 Cielo 'Less is More' model that was painted with inspiration from the Bauhaus art movement, featuring Blue Corse matte bodywork that contrasts with multi-color glossy design livery with triangles, rectangles, dots, and lines that form a stylized trident logo. The gloss design is hand-painted, not applied with decals. The wheel rims shown used a red outline with striking yellow hubcaps. Ficili also said pointed out that Maserati now has a full-service program called Classiche for its many cars that are more than 20 years old. 'We will do everything including full restorations,' he said. Such restorations are sometimes undermined by the availability of spare parts, and the Classiche department is making some of them available, based on the original designs but using modern technology to improve their performance. The company's archives are open to assist in the restoration process.

Maserati Cancels The Electric MC20 Folgore Before It Was Even Revealed Because Nobody Wanted It
Maserati had big EV plans. Emphasis on had. The brand's plan to go fully electric with a lineup of Folgore models (Italian for lightning) were announced in mid 2022. Maserati said it was going to introduce six new EVs in the following three years, two of which would be all-new models while the other four were to be electric versions of existing models. Three years later and reality has set in. EV sales have slowed, multiple automakers have changed plans by canceling EVs completely or scaling back goals in favor of developing hybrids. Only three of Maserati's Folgore EVs came to market: The Grecale, the GranTurismo and the GranCabrio, all electric versions of existing gas-powered cars. The Quattroporte Folgore has been delayed, and neither of the all-new models have been shown. And now we have confirmation that another one of those planned Folgore models will never see the light of day. The Folgore version of the MC20 supercar, which was first announced back in 2020, has been canceled before it was even revealed due to an unfortunate combination lack of demand and financial troubles. Read more: Porsche Taycan Turbos Have Lost Up To $100,000 Value In 4 Years The UK's Autocar broke the news about the cancellation of Maserati's electric supercar. Maserati's worldwide sales dropped over 57 percent in 2024, going from 26,600 cars moved in 2023 to 11,300 units last year. As a result, Stellantis wrote off a planned £1.2-billion investment in the brand, which put the future of those Folgore models in jeopardy. While some of the other models may just be on hold, Maserati confirmed to Autocar that the MC20 Folgore is canceled, and it's due to lack of demand. Apparently not many people want an electric supercar, even fewer want one from Maserati. MC20 sales as a whole haven't been great. Sure, it's a six-figure supercar, but dealers seem to be struggling to move them. Many dealers have slashed thousands off the sticker prices of MC20s in their inventories, many of which are one to two models years old. In place of the electric MC20, Autocar says that Maserati will just make the gas version of the supercar better. Using lessons learned from the GT2 Stradale, the regular MC20 will get heavily updated, which should give the car more power from its 621-horsepower twin-turbo V6. Maserati's recent financial troubles aren't just affecting the brand's EV plans — the future of some of Maserati's other models is in doubt now too. The next generation of the Levante SUV, a model that's been around with few major updates since its 2017 introduction, is supposedly coming in 2027 if plans still pan out. The next generation of the Quattroporte, which the Ghibli died for, was due out this year but has been delayed until 2028. Want more like this?
