Maserati GranTurismo will be Trident marque's first EV, coming in 2023

MANILA: Maserati boasted that it is the first Italian luxury car brand to produce fully electric models — starting with the new GranTurismo in 2023 — in line with its the Folgore electric strategy.  

By 2025, Maserati aims to complete its EV lineup and become an all-EV brand by 2030. The Trident brand also revealed its 2021 sales figures.

The new GranTurismo will be Maserati's first EV, which will debut in 2023, will be made at the Mirafiori production hub. In a release, Maserati said the new GranTurismo promises "cutting-edge technical solutions derived from Formula E, superb performance, comfort and elegance, all typical of the Trident."

Next year, the all-new Grecale SUV — scheduled for launch in the next few days — will also become available in an electric version.

All Maserati models will come in a 100% electric version by 2025: the MC20 super sports car, the new Quattroporte sport sedan, and the all-new full-size Levante SUV will complete the Maserati Folgore offering.

Maserati's EV plan is part of the Stellantis “Dare Forward 2030” strategic plan. "The Folgore full-electric strategy has been developed with customers’ requirements in mind," Maserati said. 

All the brand’s new models will be developed, engineered, and produced 100% in Italy. 

In 2021, the Stellantis Group's only luxury brand reported an increase in its global market share to 2.4%, specifically at 2.9% and 2.7% in North America and China, respectively.

Last year, Maserati recorded robust growth in sales, at 41% year-on-year with a total of 24,269 vehicles delivered to customers worldwide. The brand's operating Income margin stood at 5.1% and net revenues were €2,021 million.
