Maserati Joins Holiday Festivities In New York City With Levante SUV Display

Whether packed with presents, loaded with suitcases, or mounted with a ski rack, the Maserati Levante is the ultimate expression of luxury utility. And with standard all-wheel-drive courtesy of Maserati's intelligent Q4 system, as well as sumptuous interior accoutrements, the Levante has earned its place as a leader in the luxury SUV segment since its debut at the Geneva Motor Show in 2016.

"The Levante is the Maserati of SUVs and it's just as at home shopping on Fifth Avenue as it is climbing the snow-capped mountains of New England," said Steven Beahm, Chief Executive Officer of Maserati North America. "New York City is one of the most festive places in America during the holidays, and the Maserati Levante SUV represents both seasonal aspirations and discerning accessibility, reflecting the gift-giving season in an environment known for world-class product displays."

For 2018, the Levante has been further improved and enhanced with a range of new features for an even more thrilling driving experience – both on- and off-road. With the new Maserati range strategy, customers can now choose one of two distinct trims: GranSport or GranLusso. The Levante GranSport was conceived to meet the demands of sportier expression of a high-end SUV, while the uniquely luxurious GranLusso cabin combines a choice of Ermenegildo Zegna silk or full premium Italian upholstery with a Radica open-pore wood trim and a leather steering wheel.

Two versions of the Levante's powerful 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 engine are also available, a standard 345 horsepower motor or an upgraded 424 horsepower version as the Levante S. Both powertrains are available in GranSport or GranLusso trims. Pricing for the 2018 Levante begins at an MSRP of $74,050.
