Review automotive Before it makes its introduction at the up and coming Geneva car exhibition, here are the main authority photographs of the 2017 Maserati Levante SUV. As the Italian extravagance brand's first-ever attack into this quickly developing section, the Levante speaks to a push to develop Maserati's deals worldwide and contend with extravagance SUVs like the Porsche Cayenne and Jaguar F-Pace.
We saw indications of the Levante's swoopy plan in late spy shots, and the last item looks a great deal like a lifted adaptation of the Maserati Ghibli and Quattroporte extravagance vehicles. Its general shape is pleasantly proportioned, with a forcefully decreased back portal, a moderately long hood, and exemplary Maserati touches like the trident identification and the three bumper air vents to interface with the brand's legacy. Maserati hasn't yet gave photographs of the Levante's inside, however we realize that it will have two lines of seats and is certain to highlight the essential wood and cowhide trim to legitimacy its value point.
Anticipate that that cost will effortlessly overshadow the six-figure mark, as the Quattroporte as of now begins at $101,700. All variants of the 2017 Maserati Levante will come standard with all-wheel drive and an eight-speed programmed transmission, alongside an air suspension and flexible dampers. We don't yet know insights about the Levante's powertrain alternatives, however it will be offered with both fuel and diesel motors in Europe; the U.S. is destined to get a 3.0-liter twin-turbo gas V-6 delivering either 350 hp or 425 hp, contingent upon tune.
Maserati is trusting that the expansion of this new model will expand its worldwide deals impression. In the U.S., Maserati has as of now accomplished an enormous measure of development because of the Ghibli and Quattroporte; in the wake of offering only 4,768 autos in the States in 2013, the brand hopped to 12,943 units sold in 2014 and 11,697 units sold in 2015.
