Maserati has officially launched the Levante SUV in India with prices starting at Rs 1,45,12,054, ex-showroom. The Levante will be offered in 3 diesel trims in India –
Variant | Price (ex-showroom) |
Levante Diesel | Rs 1,45,12,054 |
Levante Diesel GranSport | Rs 1,48,63,774 |
Levante Diesel GranLusso | Rs 1,53,83,399 |
First unveiled at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show, the Levante gets its name from “a warm Mediterranean wind that can change from a light breeze to an irresistible natural force in an instant.” The Levante has a drag coefficient of just 0.31 Cd.
The diesel Levante is powered by a 2,987 cc turbocharged V6, producing 275 PS and 600 Nm of torque. Transmission is an 8-Speed ZF automatic, sending power to the all four wheels via “Q4” intelligent all-wheel drive system. The diesel Levante can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 6.9 seconds and onto a top speed of 230 km/h. The SUV weighs 2,205 kg kerb.
Internationally, there is also a 3.0 V6 Twin Turbo petrol on offer with two states of tune, 350 hp and 430 hp.
Suspension is a double-wishbone on the front axle and multi-link on the rear, combined with electronically controlled damping, four corner air-springs providing 5 dynamic ride levels (plus one additional park-position).
As one would expect, interiors get the finest materials with the options list including Ermenegildo Zegna silk, made in Trivero by the Zegna wool mill with a patented process. The 8.4” high-resolution screen is capacitive, and can also be operated using the rotary control in the central tunnel.
Driver assistance systems include adaptive cruise control with automatic Start&Stop function, forward collision warning, automatic brake assist system and lane departure warning. Further options include Bowers & Wilkins or Harman Kardon sound system, blind spot alert, surround view camera and a powerlift tailgate.
The first Levante in India was imported in Bengaluru back in May 2017.
Maserati has two official importers in India, one each in Bengaluru and Mumbai.
