Maserati has rolled out mid-life updates to the GranTurismo coupe, GranCabrio convertible, and Grecale SUV, bringing cosmetic tweaks and powertrain upgrades to the three models.
Specific V6-powered versions of the mechanically identical GranTurismo and GranCabrio have been retuned to produce more power, while the electric ‘Folgore’ versions of all three have been updated to offer greater driving range.
Maserati says its range is “evolving by means of a strategic update aimed at strengthening the brand’s positioning in the luxury segment”. It’s unclear when these updated models could arrive in Australia – we’ve contacted Maserati’s local arm for confirmation.
In terms of styling, the front bumpers of all three cars have been redesigned to feature a new ‘sharknose effect’, characterised by a protruding lip above the brand’s signature large front grille. The overall design of the front end is also more angular.

On the GranTurismo and GranCabrio, this new bumper features redesigned central and side air intakes to improve cooling. There’s also a new air curtain on the outer side of the front bumper to improve airflow around the front wheels.
The car’s general shape and proportions remain unchanged, including the long bonnet and headlight signature. The rear LED taillights have new clear lenses, which Maserati says are “a mix between the classic boomerang form from many Maserati models in the past and a harpoon”.
Under the bonnet of the two low-slung grand tourers remains the same 3.0-litre twin-turbo V6 ‘Nettuno’ engine, with the dual-motor all-wheel drive electric ‘Folgore’ powertrain also available. The V6 is available in two states of tune: the ‘base’ version produces an unchanged 361kW of power and 600Nm of torque, good for a 3.9-second 0-100km/h time.
The higher-output ‘Trofeo’ alternative, however, has been retuned to deliver an additional 30kW of power, bringing total outputs to 434kW and 650Nm. As before, both models exclusively use an eight-speed automatic transmission – albeit recalibrated for ‘refined’ driveability – paired with all-wheel drive.
The tri-motor ‘Folgore’ electric models, meanwhile, are still powered by the same 92.5kWh lithium-ion battery and produce up to 560kW of power, but WLTP range has been increased by 90km to 540km with the addition of an all-wheel drive disconnect system.
Under low load, this allows the car to disengage the single front motor, effectively operating as rear-drive and conserving energy. This system was already featured on the Grecale Folgore, but has now been applied to the GranTurismo and GranCabrio.
Supporting this, the Folgore (and base 361kW V6) now gets a new ‘Country’ drive mode, which raises the ride height by up to 20mm to better tackle uneven surfaces at up to 120km/h.
Otherwise, there are seven new exterior colours with a handful of badge colour options to suit, a handful of new interior trim colours, and new ‘Trident’ wheels that increase the car’s track width by 10mm for improved stability.
Inside the GranTurismo and GranCabrio is a revised gear selector mechanism. The glossy, flat buttons of old have been replaced by new “three-dimensional controls”, otherwise known as physical buttons placed at the bottom of the centre stack for easier access.
When parking, petrol-powered models now also allow the driver to use the paddle shifters to select Drive or Reverse. This is intended to simplify parking without forcing the driver to take their hands off the wheel, and the function was already available on existing Folgore models.
Capping off the interior’s design is a new racing-inspired steering wheel and a redesigned digital clock face in the middle of the dashboard. The old circular analogue-look clock has been updated with an octagonal unit capped with a metal crown, which can also display changes in drive modes when applicable.
Much of the same has been applied to the Grecale SUV, and it retains four-cylinder mild-hybrid options as before.
The SUV range will be available in six variants. These include two tunes of the Grecale MHEV (mild-hybrid) and higher-spec Modena MHEV, and V6 versions of both the Grecale and Grecale Modena with 287kW.
There will also be a Grecale Trofeo V6 with 390kW, and an electric Grecale Folgore with 410kW and a driving range of up to 580km. Energy in the latter comes from a 105kWh battery, and it retains its all-wheel drive disconnect function introduced in 2025.
The Grecale has also received minor interior tweaks, but unlike its sports-car stablemates, its gear selector arrangement now incorporates haptic functionality for its real metal buttons. It also gets a new steering wheel design and paddle shifters with the same parking functionality already detailed.
Of course, the Grecale also gets the same octagonal digital clock as the other two cars.
As for the rest of Maserati’s lineup, the Italian brand has been tight-lipped on what’s to come. It still fields the wilder, two-door MCPura, though it’s not yet known what future versions of models like the Quattroporte and Levante could bring.
Maserati, however, didn’t deny rumours that it’s working with Chinese manufacturers on upcoming models. This was reported in May 2026 with brands like Huawei and JAC in the spotlight; however, Maserati COO Santo Ficili said the brand was most concerned with finding the “right” partner.
“For sure, we need to search [for] the right partner suppliers to support the brand – this is not only for China,” he told media in an online press conference.
“We are in this phase, we are working, and we are sure that soon, we will communicate how and with whom we are going to work for the future … without forgetting our legacy, our story – that is absolutely fundamental for me.”
