Maserati Levante

Levante highlights

Maserati launched the 2018 Levante, its luxury sports SUV, in India at a starting price of Rs 1.45 crore (ex-showroom). It is available with only one engine option - a 3.0-litre V6 turbo-diesel. This engine can produce 275PS and 600Nm of peak torque. However, there are three trim levels on offer - the base variant, the GranSport, priced at Rs 1.49 crore and the top-spec GranLusso variant which costs Rs 1.54 crore (all prices ex-showroom). The Maserati Levante is equipped with active air suspension, while power is sent to the all-wheel drivetrain via an 8-speed automatic transmission which allows it to do 0-100kmph in 6.9 seconds and clock a top speed of 230kmph. The GranSport is the sportier trim with sports seats, sports steering wheel with paddle shifters, sport rear spoiler and red brake calipers. If you want your Maserati Levante to be more luxurious, pick the GranLusso trim which gets rid of all of those things we just mentioned and instead has black brake calipers for its 19-inch Zefino design alloys as well as Ermenegildo Zegna Silk interiors.
