2025 Maserati Grecale Folgore vs 2026 Tesla Model X

$109,000 · Crossover

$99,990 · Crossover

Comparison Overview

Deciding between Italian flair and Silicon Valley efficiency in an electric luxury crossover can be tough. The core dilemma often boils down to brand prestige versus raw utility. The 2025 Maserati Grecale Folgore starts at a higher MSRP of $109,000, demanding a premium for its inherent style, though it still offers a respectable 550 hp and 604 lb-ft of torque. Conversely, the 2026 Tesla Model X undercuts the Maserati significantly at $99,990, while boasting a larger 670 hp output. Practicality swings heavily toward the Tesla, which offers more than double the cargo space at 43.5 cubic feet compared to the Grecale’s 18.9 cubic feet. While the Grecale is slightly more compact in length at 191.5 inches, the Model X’s 352 miles of range clearly addresses range anxiety better than the currently unlisted range for the Maserati. This comparison pits established luxury against cutting-edge, utilitarian EV performance.
