Ketika Naza Automotive Group memulakan proses penyerahan ini, Naza Italia menegaskan komitmennya untuk memenuhi setiap tanggungjawab yang digariskan dalam perjanjian. Syarikat itu memberi jaminan bahawa enam bulan mendatang akan berjalan lancar tanpa menjejaskan pelanggan atau rakan niaga. Sepanjang tempoh ini, Naza Italia berkata pendekatan mereka akan terus mencerminkan profesionalisme dan ketelusan yang telah menjadi asas hubungan perniagaan mereka selama ini.

Syarikat itu turut mengakui hubungan kerja erat yang terjalin dengan Maserati S.p.A., menggambarkan kerjasama tersebut sebagai sebuah perkongsian yang dibina atas kepercayaan bersama, matlamat yang sehaluan dan pertumbuhan yang dicapai secara kolektif sepanjang tempoh lebih sedekad itu.

Penamatan peranan sebagai pengedar Maserati ini juga merupakan sebahagian daripada perubahan strategi yang lebih luas dalam Naza Automotive Group. Kumpulan tersebut kini sedang memperkukuh tumpuan terhadap jenama utama dan sektor pembangunan baharu, sebagai langkah untuk memperjelas hala tuju masa depan bahagian automotifnya.

Antara perancangan yang sedang digerakkan termasuk pengembangan rangkaian Suzuki Cars Malaysia, yang dikenal pasti sebagai salah satu pemacu pertumbuhan penting untuk kumpulan itu. Pada masa sama, Naza Auto sedang membangunkan konsep runcit baharu dalam segmen prestasi-luks dengan pelancaran Stars@Mercedes-Benz di Bangsar, selaras dengan penekanan yang semakin meningkat terhadap pengalaman pelanggan berkelas premium.

Usaha penambahbaikan khidmat pelanggan, pelaburan dalam platform digital serta pencarian rakan jenama baharu turut menjadi agenda utama fasa seterusnya. Ini termasuk kajian terhadap potensi kerjasama dengan jenama mobiliti elektrik dan peluang serantau di ASEAN, menunjukkan aspirasi Naza Auto untuk membentuk portfolio yang lebih pelbagai dan bersedia untuk masa depan.

Dengan strategi yang kini lebih jelas serta tumpuan yang lebih kukuh terhadap kecekapan operasi, Naza Automotive Group sedang meletakkan kedudukan baharunya untuk era pertumbuhan seterusnya. Syarikat itu yakin bahawa perubahan ini akan membolehkannya menawarkan nilai jangka panjang yang lebih kukuh kepada pelanggan, rakan perniagaan dan para pemegang kepentingan, sekali gus mengukuhkan peranan Naza dalam landskap automotif Malaysia yang terus berkembang.

Naza Italia Sdn Bhd has formally notified Maserati S.p.A. that it will withdraw from its role as the official importer and distributor of Maserati vehicles in Malaysia, bringing an end to a partnership that has been in place for more than 15 years.

The notice, submitted in line with the 180-day requirement under the agreement signed on 1 January 2009, marks the beginning of a structured transition period.

As Naza Automotive Group moves towards this handover, Naza Italia said it will honour every obligation outlined in the agreement, ensuring that the next six months proceed without disruption for customers or partners.

The company emphasised that its approach throughout the transition will reflect the professionalism and clarity that have shaped its dealings over the years.

It also acknowledged the close working relationship it has built with Maserati S.p.A., describing the partnership as one defined by mutual trust, shared goals and a long period of collaborative growth.

The end of the Maserati distributorship forms part of a much broader strategic shift within the Naza Automotive Group. The company is sharpening its focus on key brands and new growth sectors, signalling a more defined path forward for its automotive division.

Part of this plan involves the expansion of Suzuki Cars Malaysia’s network, which has been identified as a major area of growth for the group. At the same time, Naza Auto is developing a new performance-luxury retail concept through Stars@Mercedes-Benz in Bangsar, reflecting a growing emphasis on premium customer experiences.

Customer service enhancements, investment in digital platforms, and an active search for new brand partnerships are also central to the group’s next chapter.

This includes the exploration of electric mobility brands and potential regional opportunities within ASEAN, indicating that Naza Auto aims to build a more diversified and future-ready portfolio.

With a clearer strategy in place and renewed focus on operational strength, Naza Automotive Group is positioning itself for a new phase of expansion.

The company believes that this shift will allow it to deliver stronger long-term value to its customers, partners, and stakeholders, while reinforcing its role in Malaysia’s evolving automotive landscape.

Grecale GT

Grecale Trofeo

The Maserati Grecale, named after a north-easterly Mediterranean wind, was developed at the Maserati Innovation Lab in Modena and produced at the Cassino plant. Launched globally in 2022, the Grecale inaugurates a new SUV segment for Maserati, offering three engine variants: conventional internal combustion, hybrid, and full-electric.

The Grecale GT is powered by a four-cylinder mild hybrid engine delivering 300hp, embodying urban sophistication suitable for dynamic individuals with a refined style. Meanwhile, the Grecale Trofeo is equipped with a high-performance 3.0L 530-hp petrol V6 based on the Nettuno engine from the MC20, designed for those seeking disruptive performance.

The Grecale showcases Maserati’s new visual identity, first seen with the MC20. Its exterior features a low, imposing grille, fluid body lines, boomerang taillights inspired by the Giugiaro 3200 GT, and 20” alloy wheels with body-colour bumpers and side skirts. Inside, the Grecale boasts spaciousness, comfort, and “best-in-class” features such as interior space, driveability, handling, acceleration, sound quality, and fine materials like wood, carbon fibre, and leather. Dimensions for the GT version include a length of 4,846mm, a wheelbase of 2,901mm, and a height of 1,670mm, just slightly bigger than the BMW X4.

The cabin of the Grecale features a sophisticated environment inspired by interior design rather than the automotive sector. A digital transformation of the traditional clockface acts as an in-car concierge via voice control, while touch-based controls are managed by a 12.3” central screen, an 8.8” display for extra controls, and an optional heads-up display in the Trofeo version. The Maserati Intelligent Assistant (MIA) manages the infotainment system, complemented by an immersive Sonus Faber 3D sound system offering up to 21 speakers.

The new Maserati Vehicle Dynamic Control Module (VDCM) system provides 360° control over the car, enhancing handling and driving experience. The VDCM system supports various drive modes: Comfort, GT, Sport, and Off-Road, allowing drivers to shift from utmost comfort to extreme responsiveness.

The Grecale GT is priced from RM634,889.00, inclusive of local duties and taxes, excluding customizations, road tax, and insurance. The Grecale Trofeo is priced from RM1,100,000, inclusive of local duties and taxes, excluding customizations, road tax, and insurance. Both models come with a 3-year full Maserati warranty with no mileage restrictions, with an option to extend the warranty for up to 10 years.

The MY24 Maserati Grecale represents a bold statement for those who live audaciously and choose to stand out, offering an exceptional driving experience every day.
