The name Levante is inspired from wind, a warm Mediterranean wind that can change from a light breeze to an irresistible natural force in an instant. Talking about wind, the Levante has a drag coefficient of 0.31 cd which is very good by segment standards. However, when you look at the Levante, it is more curvaceous in nature unlike the big, boxy & sharp style of this luxury SUV segment.
The 2018 Maserati Levante rides on electronically controlled damping for the suspension with 4 corner air-springs and 5 ride levels. The SUV also sports a 50:50 weight distribution for better handling. Along with EPS, the Levante also gets Advanced Driving Assistance Systems (ADAS) package, which includes functions such as Highway Assist (HA), Lane Keeping Assist (LKA), Active Blind Spot Assist (ABSA) and Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR).
In India, the 2018 Levante is powered by a 3.0L, 275 HP, V6, single turbocharged diesel motor with the “Q4” intelligent all-wheel drive system coupled to an 8-speed automatic gearbox with Start & Stop System. This particular engine can help the Levante spring from 0-100 km/h in 6.9 seconds and has a top speed of 230 km/h.
You get all the luxury features on the Levante by segment standards such as LED headlamps, LED tail lamps, snazzy alloy wheels, fog lamps, leather upholstery, MID, panoramic sunroof, touchscreen infotainment, electric seats, climate control & a high end stereo system.
The Levante can be customised as per individual taste at the dealer level.
