The Maserati Levante is a mid-size luxury crossover SUV based on the Kubang concept car[1] that debuted at the 2011 Frankfurt Auto Show, and built by Maserati at the Mirafiori factory in Turin, Italy starting in 2016.[2] Produced and assembled at Maserati's Turin plant,[2][3] the Levante went on sale in Europe in May 2016, and in North America in September 2016.[4]

Announcements

Rear view

The car was first unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show on 1 March 2016, followed by a 2016 New York Auto Show. Models for the United States went on sale in April 2016. Early models included Levante (350 PS) and Levante S (430 PS).[5] Canada models went on sale in September 2016. Early models included Levante (350 PS) and Levante S (430 PS).[6] The Maserati Levante Trofeo was unveiled 2018 New York International Auto Show. The Trofeo has 3.8-litre Twin Turbo V8 engine and Q4 all-wheel drive with 590 hp and 730 Nm peak torque.[7]

Specifications

The Levante initially featured Ferrari's 3.0L V6 engine, in two states of tune.[8] A diesel model is also offered, which served as the only engine offering for right-hand drive markets from 2016 to mid-2017, until the official announcement and deployment of gasoline RHD models in mid-late 2017, starting with the Levante S and subsequently the base Levante sometime in 2018.

By 2018, a 560 horsepower V8 will be added.[8] Subsequently, two V8 models were announced in 2018: the 590 horsepower Trofeo, followed by the 550 horsepower GTS.

The Levante gains an eight speed ZF automatic transmission from the sixth generation Maserati Quattroporte. The vehicle's drivetrain is four-wheel-drive only, and like other Maserati models (Quattroporte and Ghibli in both rear- and four-wheel drive), comes standard with a rear limited-slip differential. The Levante also features Maserati Touch Control with a full color 8.1-inch (210 mm) TFT touchscreen display, as well as a reconfigurable TFT gauge cluster with full color.
