Compare the2026 Maserati GrecaleVS 2026 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque

For enhanced safety, the front seat shoulder belts of the Maserati Grecale are height-adjustable to accommodate a wide variety of driver and passenger heights. A better fit can prevent injuries and the increased comfort also encourages passengers to buckle up. The Land Rover Range Rover Evoque doesn’t offer height-adjustable seat belts.

In the past twenty years hundreds of infants and young children have died after being left in vehicles, usually by accident. When turning the vehicle off, drivers of the Grecale are reminded to check the back seat if they opened the rear door before starting out. The Range Rover Evoque doesn’t offer a back seat reminder.

The Maserati Grecale has standard driver and front passenger side knee airbags mounted low on the dashboard. These airbags help prevent the driver and front passenger from sliding under their seatbelts or the main frontal airbags; this keeps them better positioned during a collision for maximum protection. Knee airbags also help keep the legs from striking the dashboard, preventing knee and leg injuries in the case of a serious frontal collision. The Range Rover Evoque doesn’t offer a front passenger side knee airbag.

Over 200 people are killed each year when backed over by motor vehicles. The Grecale has standard Active Park Braking that uses rear sensors to monitor for objects to the rear and automatically applies the brakes to prevent a collision. The Range Rover Evoque doesn’t offer automatic braking for stationary objects directly to the rear.

Both the Grecale and the Range Rover Evoque have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, front side-impact airbags, driver knee airbags, side-impact head airbags, front seatbelt pretensioners, four-wheel antilock brakes, all wheel drive, traction control, electronic stability systems to prevent skidding, crash mitigating brakes, daytime running lights, rearview cameras, available lane departure warning systems, blind spot warning systems, around view monitors, rear cross-path warning and driver alert monitors.

The Grecale Modena V6’s standard 3.0 turbo V6 produces 139 more horsepower (385 vs. 246) and 99 lbs.-ft. more torque (368 vs. 269) than the Range Rover Evoque’s 2.0 turbo 4-cylinder. The Grecale Trofeo’s standard 3.0 turbo V6 produces 277 more horsepower (523 vs. 246) and 188 lbs.-ft. more torque (457 vs. 269) than the Range Rover Evoque’s 2.0 turbo 4-cylinder. The Grecale Folgore’s standard electric motors produces 296 more horsepower (542 vs. 246) and 335 lbs.-ft. more torque (604 vs. 269) than the Range Rover Evoque’s 2.0 turbo 4-cylinder.

On the EPA test cycle the Grecale running on electricity gets better mileage than the Range Rover Evoque:

The Grecale can travel with zero emissions for 206 to 245 miles (dependent on model). The Range Rover Evoque can’t move without running its internal combustion engine.

An engine control system that can shut down some of the engine’s cylinders helps improve the Grecale Trofeo’s fuel efficiency. The Range Rover Evoque doesn’t offer a system that can shut down part of the engine.

The Grecale has a standard locking fuel door and a locking charge port on the Foglore which lock and unlock with the power locks. The Range Rover Evoque doesn’t offer a locking fuel filler door. A locking fuel door helps prevent fuel theft and vandalism, such as sugar in the tank and a locking charge port prevents tampering and damage.

The Grecale Trofeo’s launch control uses engine electronics to hold engine RPM’s precisely in order to provide the most stable and rapid acceleration possible, using all of the available traction. The Range Rover Evoque doesn’t offer launch control.

For better stopping power the Grecale Trofeo’s brake rotors are larger than those on the Range Rover Evoque:

The Grecale’s standard front and rear disc brakes are vented to help dissipate heat for shorter stops with less fading. The rear discs on the Range Rover Evoque are solid, not vented.

For better traction, the Grecale has larger standard tires than the Range Rover Evoque (255/45R20 vs. 235/60R18). The Grecale’s optional tires are larger than the largest tires available on the Range Rover Evoque (F:255/40R21 & R:295/35R21 vs. 245/45R21).

The Grecale Folgore’s standard tires provide better handling because they have a lower 45 series profile (height to width ratio) that provides a stiffer sidewall than the Range Rover Evoque’s standard 60 series tires. The Grecale’s optional 255/40R21 front and 295/35R21 rear tires have a lower 40 series front and 35 series rear profile than the Range Rover Evoque’s optional 45 series tires.

For better ride, handling and brake cooling the Grecale Folgore has standard 20-inch wheels. Smaller 18-inch wheels are standard on the Range Rover Evoque.

The front and rear suspension of the Grecale uses air springs for a smoother, controlled ride than the Range Rover Evoque, which uses coil springs. Air springs maintain proper ride height and ride more smoothly.

The Grecale has a standard automatic front and rear load leveling suspension to keep ride height level with a heavy load or when towing. The Grecale’s height leveling suspension allows the driver to raise ride height for better off-road clearance and then lower it again for easier entering and exiting and better on-road handling. The Range Rover Evoque doesn’t offer a load leveling suspension.

For a smoother ride and more stable handling, the Grecale Modena V6’s wheelbase is 8.7 inches longer than on the Range Rover Evoque (114.2 inches vs. 105.5 inches).

For better handling and stability, the average track (width between the wheels) on the Grecale is 2.4 inches wider in the rear than the track on the Range Rover Evoque.

The Grecale’s front to rear weight distribution is more even (47.2% to 52.8%) than the Range Rover Evoque’s (59% to 41%). This gives the Grecale more stable handling and braking.

The Grecale has 2.2 inches more front headroom, 1.3 inches more front legroom, 1.2 inches more front shoulder room, .8 inches more rear headroom, 2.6 inches more rear legroom and .5 inches more rear shoulder room than the Range Rover Evoque.

The Grecale’s cargo area is larger than the Range Rover Evoque’s in almost every dimension:

Pulling a handle automatically lowers the Grecale’s rear seats, to make changing between passengers and cargo easier. The Range Rover Evoque doesn’t offer automatic folding seats.

To make loading groceries and cargo easier when your hands are full, the Grecale’s available liftgate can be opened and closed just by kicking your foot under the back bumper, leaving your hands completely free. The Range Rover Evoque doesn’t offer a hands-free gesture to open its liftgate, forcing you to put cargo down if your hands are full.

The Grecale’s standard towing capacity is much higher than the Range Rover Evoque’s (5071 vs. 3968 pounds). Maximum trailer towing in the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque is only 3968 pounds. The Grecale offers up to a 5516 lbs. towing capacity.

The engine in the Grecale is mounted longitudinally (North-South), instead of sideways, as in the Range Rover Evoque. This makes it easier to service and maintain, because the accessory belts are in front.

The Grecale’s instruments include an oil pressure gauge and a temperature gauge - which could save your engine! Often ‘idiot lights’ don’t warn you until damage has been done. The Range Rover Evoque does not have an oil pressure gauge.

The Grecale’s power window, power lock, power mirror and cruise control switches are lit from behind, making them plainly visible and easier to operate at night. The Range Rover Evoque’s power mirror switches are unlit, making them difficult to find at night and operate safely.

To help drivers see further while navigating curves, the Grecale offers optional adaptive headlights to illuminate around corners automatically by reading vehicle speed and steering wheel angle. The Range Rover Evoque doesn’t offer cornering lights.

To shield the driver and front passenger’s vision over a larger portion of the windshield and side windows, the Grecale has standard extendable sun visors. The Range Rover Evoque doesn’t offer extendable visors.

Optional air-conditioned seats in the Grecale keep the driver and front passenger comfortable and take the sting out of hot seats in Summer. The Range Rover Evoque doesn’t offer air-conditioned seats.

The Grecale offers an optional 115-volt a/c outlet in the cargo area, allowing you to recharge a laptop or run small household appliances without special adapters that can break or get misplaced. The Range Rover Evoque doesn’t offer a house-current electrical outlet.
