Maserati has facelifted the GranTurismo, GranCabrio and Grecale to make them look like the MCPura

Big grand tourers and medium-sized crossover get a mid-life update, with a more powerful V6

Published: 19 Jun 2026

It’s already facelift time for the Maserati GranTurismo and GranCabrio. Having arrived in 2022 and 2023 respectively, the two grand tourers have been bundled together for a refresh. Maserati actually calls it a “strategic update” with the design bringing the pair in line with the look of the MCPura supercar. And yes, that was previously known as the MC20.

We’re told the new look is ‘sharper and more aggressive’, and we reckon that gaping mouth works with the big GT's shape. There are new clear lenses for the rear lights too, plus new paint and wheel options. Inside we’re promised a new flat topped and bottomed steering wheel, plus a new clock, new graphics for the screens and a refreshed drive selector.

It’s not all cosmetic updates though, because Maserati has also upped the power of the twin-turbo Nettuno V6 to deliver 582bhp (up from 542bhp) in the top spec petrol Trofeo trim. That’s paired with 479lb ft of torque sent to all four wheels, with a recalibration of the engine and gearbox for better responses.

That Trofeo also gets forged wheels, lots of exposed carbon, an E-LSD and a sports exhaust as standard. Nice. Both the GranTurismo and the GranCabrio can still be had in 483bhp form as before, while the all-electric Folgore still makes its impressive 750bhp, but now gets better energy management for over 335 miles of range.

At the same time, Maserati has also updated its smaller SUV, the Grecale. That gets a similar face to the rest of the range with more of a shark nose and chunky air intakes for cheeks. It also gets that Nettuno engine with an even lower power output.

So, as well as the 523bhp top spec Trofeo, there’s also now a 385bhp version. That’s in addition to the turbocharged 2.0-litre four-pot with either 247bhp or 296bhp, while the Folgore EV makes 542bhp. Range for the latter is 360 miles, and inside there’s apparently “extensive use of authentic materials” with wood, carbon and proper leather.
