Levante is the first SUV under the Maserati brand, officially launched at the Geneva Motor Show. As an SUV from an Italian supercar brand, Levante incorporates design elements from supercars, achieving significant breakthroughs in both performance and practicality. According to Worldcarfans, Maserati has introduced its first SUV model—Levante. The vehicle is equipped with a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged engine in its powertrain. Below are the relevant details: Introduction: The Maserati Levante, as a high-performance crossover, features a 3.0-liter V6 engine. With twin-turbocharging technology, this gasoline engine delivers a maximum output of 257 kW and a peak torque of 498 Nm, accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.8 seconds. Additionally, Maserati has fine-tuned this engine in different ways, enabling the high-power version to unleash a maximum output of 316 kW and a peak torque of 578 Nm, achieving a 0-100 km/h acceleration in under 5 seconds. Manufacturing Platform: In terms of the manufacturing platform, the Maserati Levante shares the same platform as the Ghibli model. Due to its shared architecture with the Maserati Ghibli, the two vehicles share technical and component characteristics, which helps reduce the manufacturing cost and price of the Levante. For the transmission system, Maserati equips the Levante with an 8-speed automatic transmission and a four-wheel-drive system, effectively transferring the power of the 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged engine to all four wheels.
The Chinese name for Maserati's SUV is Levante, which sounds quite stylish. It originates from the Italian word 'Levante,' meaning the wind of the Mediterranean, symbolizing freedom and vitality. As a car enthusiast, I think the name is well-chosen, fitting Maserati's consistent elegance. The Levante is Maserati's first SUV, targeting the high-end market with a sporty exterior design, luxurious interior, and powerful driving performance, making it particularly suitable for those who enjoy a premium driving experience. Although the price is high, it has sold well in China, attracting many buyers who seek unique status. I believe most people who choose it prioritize taste and performance over practicality.
