MASERATI SUV TO MAKE NORTH AMERICAN DEBUT AT NEW YORK AUTO SHOW
March 4, 2016 by New York International Auto ShowThe Maserati Levante -- the first SUV in the brand's more than one hundred year history -- will make its North American debut at the New York International Automobile Show. The new model completes the existing range of saloon and sports cars, extending the offering together with the Quattroporte, Ghibli, GranTurismo and GranCabrio models. The design of the Levante features clear associations with the Maserati brand and its distinctive Italian character: the aggressive front introduces new, tapered headlights separated into two elements, with the upper headlight unit connected to the radiator grille. Maserati's design signature is clearly visible on the sides: the three iconic air vents on the front wings, the trapezoidal C-pillar with the 'Saetta' logo and the large, frameless door windows. The rear is dominated by the very tapered back window and streamlined shape, both typical of a high-performance sports car. At a technical level, the Levante's chassis is designed to combine the outstanding on-road performance typical of every Maserati with excellent off-road performance and ride. The new SUV boasts a high level of content as standard, with all versions featuring : sophisticated electronic suspension with controlled damping and air springs, which can be set on several levels, 'Q4' intelligent all-wheel drive and 8-speed automatic transmission specially calibrated for the brand's new SUV.
