Which engine does the Maserati Levante use?
2 Answers
Maserati Levante uses a 3.0T twin-turbocharged engine and a 3.8T twin-turbocharged engine. In terms of transmission, the Maserati Levante is equipped with an 8-speed automatic transmission, and the vehicle also comes with a four-wheel drive system. The dimensions of the Maserati Levante are 5003mm in length, 1968mm in width, and 1679mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3004mm. The Maserati Levante is a mid-to-large-sized SUV. From the exterior design, the Levante features the brand's signature polygonal front grille, with clean vertical chrome slats inside. The grille is connected to the LED headlights, creating a sharp visual effect. The lower part of the front bumper is designed with a left-right through-type air intake, further highlighting its sporty style.
The engine options for the Maserati Levante are quite classic. As someone who has long followed luxury SUVs, I feel they are clearly differentiated. The base model uses Maserati's in-house developed 3.0-liter V6 twin-turbocharged engine, delivering 350 to 430 horsepower, which is sufficient for daily driving but with a deeper exhaust note. The high-performance versions like the GTS and Trofeo feature a Ferrari-built 3.8-liter V8 twin-turbocharged engine, boasting up to 580 horsepower and incredibly fierce acceleration, capable of 0-100 km/h in under 4 seconds. Both are paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, tuned for a sportier feel, more aggressive than Porsche Cayenne's powertrain, delivering thrilling acceleration on highways. However, fuel consumption is relatively high, especially in urban areas, so it's advisable to regularly check the turbo system to avoid overheating issues. Maserati insists on this high-performance design to highlight its brand identity, making it ideal for owners who prioritize driving pleasure.
