It started in 1963 with the legendary Mistral. Then came the Ghibli, the Bora and the Khamsin. And in 2016 the Levante joined the illustrious Maserati range. The wind that bears its name blows across the Mediterranean and can change from benign calm to gale force in an instant. The Maserati SUV has a similar nature, although its powerful forces always remain under perfect control. In true Maserati grand touring tradition, nothing can disturb your comfort – whatever the speed, whatever the distance. This vehicle, for instance, can reach 100 km/h from a standing start in an astonishing 5.2 seconds. At the same time, you are carried in the elegantly appointed, perfectly balanced luxury of a large and spacious SUV. Even when the going gets rough, the Levante maintains its elegant composure thanks to our intelligent Q4 AWD system. As for the design, the Levante is all Maserati, both in terms of its dramatically graceful style and purity of dynamic purpose. There are two trims available: the Levante GranLusso and the Levante GranSport. With the GranLusso, the style is focused on luxury. With the GranSport, it’s more about engaging driving dynamics. Each offers a Maranello-built V6 petrol engine, an enhanced choice of paint colours, trims and alloy wheels, new full-LED Adaptive Matrix headlights available from September, and advanced Integrated Vehicle Control that delivers increased responsiveness and driving safety. This final innovation comes as standard across all versions. A new journey has begun – with the Maserati of SUVs. 8 A A history of character The TRUE SPIRIT OF MASERATI The Levante SUV embodies the enduring, intrepid and endlessly progressive spirit of Maserati – and it is part of a story that dates back over 100 years. Maserati officially opened for business in 1914 at number 1 Via de’ Pepoli in Bologna. But the wheels were in motion long before that. In 1900, Rodolfo Maserati’s eldest son Carlo built a single-cylinder engine and fitted it to a bicycle. He then raced it to victory in a punishing, long-distance rally in northern Italy. Carlo was just 17. A short while later, the intrepid youngster designed another engine and fitted it to a wooden car chassis. This, arguably, was the world’s first Maserati vehicle. The Maserati drive to innovate and passion for speed made the transition into elite motor sport inevitable. It was a move that reaped countless rewards on the world stage. Here are just a few of the many historic successes: in 1926, Alfieri Maserati drove the Maserati Tipo 26 to victory in its first ever race – the Targa Florio in the mountains of Sicily. In 1939, Wilbur Shaw won the Indianapolis 500 at the wheel of the Maserati ‘Boyle Special’ 8 CTF at an average speed of over 185 km/h. He repeated this incredible feat the following year, making Maserati the only European manufacturer to win the Indy 500 twice. In the late 1940s, Maserati took a luxurious turn by creating the A6 1500 production grand tourer. This was built in our current home in Modena and featured sensuous Pininfarina coachwork. The convertible A6G Frua Spyder soon followed. Since then, all Maserati production models have followed this unique formula, offering race-bred performance, captivating Italian design and the luxuries and comfort you would expect from a prestigious grand tourer. All this is delivered by the latest Maserati Levante. And the striking SUV design adds yet another compelling dimension to the experience. 12 E exteriors Maserati DESIGN LANGUAGE When it comes to design language, the Levante speaks fluent Maserati. And wherever you look, the messages are clear and compelling. Visual and functional highlights include an aggressively sculpted front grille with chromed bars, which is more imposing than ever given the elevated SUV proportions. There are also muscular, arching front wings bearing the iconic triple air vents. And there’s the everpresent Saetta logo in the steeply tapered, coupé-like rear section. Such details, along with frameless door windows, the subtle spoiler and quad tailpipes, make an emphatic statement about the unique, all-round strength of this vehicle. 16 Sophisticated NEW EXTERIOR SHADES To enhance your paint options as well as the eye-catching allure of Levante, two striking new shades have recently been added to refresh the exterior colour palette: Rosso Potente and Blu Nobile. Each reflects a different side of the Maserati personality, yet both capture the boldness and sophistication for which the Trident is renowned. 18 ROSSO POTENTE TRI-COAT PAINT Inspired by the iconic colour Rosso Magma − launched to commemorate the Maserati centenary − the new Rosso Potente is a statement colour created to celebrate the racing heritage of Italian sports cars. Just one glimpse of this bold hue brings to mind the glamour of circuits such as Monte Carlo and the black and white of the chequered flag sweeping victoriously overhead. As the name would suggest, this is a powerful red; one that overshadows everything else on the road. Rich and captivating, demanding both respect and attention, this dramatic colour is as intoxicating as power itself. BLU NOBILE TRI-COAT PAINT Deep, dark blue with sparkling glass flakes that glisten when exposed to sunlight and enhance the unique design of the Levante. Shimmering like the tips of the waves in the rolling ocean, this is not so much a colour as an enriching visual experience that transforms each time the car flashes past. Ever since the times of the ancient Egyptians, blue has been blessed with noble connotations, standing for royalty and favoured by rulers. This imperious shade of blue reflects these aristocratic traditions and perfectly complements the effortlessly flowing lines of the Levante. 19 I INTERIORS Enter THE UPPER ATMOSPHERE The interior of the Levante exudes authentic Maserati character. That means elegant Italian style, meticulously crafted finishes and a race-bred energy that inspires long-distance, luxurious travel. There is also a liberating feeling of all-round space on board. This, along with the commanding SUV driving position, may come as a surprise given the coupé-like exterior. Interior highlights include optional Pieno Fiore Natural leather on the seats, hand-stitched leather on the dashboard side panels and other surfaces either in genuine wood or Black Piano trim. The infotainment system comes complete with an elegant aluminium rotary controller. And there is an abundance of clever storage, plus the flexibility of 60/40-folding rear seats and a 580-litre luggage compartment. This is accessible courtesy of an optional kick sensor, which allows you to open the tailgate by simply moving your foot beneath the rear bumper. Other practicalities include dual-zone or optional four-zone climate control and an Air Quality Sensor. 22 New inTERIOR TRIMS The purposeful ambience of the cabin is another aspect that creates a strong point of difference for Maserati. Three lavish new interior trims add to the appeal of this sanctuary for the driver, and further increase the options for personalisation. REGIMENTAL OPEN PORE A new open-pore wooden veneer inspired by textures found in the fashion industry and revered by the leading couturiers of Milan. The resulting effect suggests ultra-modern luxury with more than a hint of sportiness. Like all our new trims, Regimental Open-Pore took around a year to develop from original concept to finished product, as our artisans in Italy patiently perfected every detail. The result is both stunning and sophisticated. MATT CARBON FIBRE WEAVE Inspired by the Levante Trofeo with its host of exterior carbon fibre features, the 3D effect of the weave pattern adds to the dynamic credentials inside. Every car is completely unique as the carbon pattern is real, ensuring that it will be slightly different every single time. The other beauty of carbon is its extraordinary natural strength, which prevents the trim from marking and protects the integrity of the Levante interior from one year to the next. HIGH-GLOSS METAL WEAVE This stylish new trim is created by using metallic meshes, and is inspired by contemporary architecture. The elegant chevron weave pattern adds to the sporty feel of the cabin. The quality of the metal net is so high, and so soft to the touch, that it could even be used to tailor a shirt. The weave has also been designed to remain comfortably cool in summer temperatures. Like the carbon fibre weave, every car is unique as the trim is authentic and cannot be replicated. 25 G GRAN DUO LevanteGran Lusso LUXURY IS ITS FAVOURITE SPORT For drivers who prefer extra touches of luxury, the GranLusso trim offers a host of refinements. Adding to the protection plates beneath the front bumper – a feature that clearly signposts the four-by-four potential – there are now eye-catching chromed inserts. The roof rails have a metallic trim, too. Elsewhere, the GranLusso badge is impeccably integrated into the front wings. The side skirts and other fine details are perfectly colour-matched with the rest of the exterior, as is the rear spoiler. The brake calipers are finished in a striking black. 34 Accent ON LUXURY All this, however, can be enhanced with the interior luxuries of the Levante GranLusso. It offers front Comfort seats with 12-way power adjustment and a memory function. There’s the choice of full premium Italian leather, Pieno Fiore natural leather or Ermenegildo Zegna silk upholstery. This is complemented by a premium leather dashboard, armrest and door panels, a striking Black Piano trim and an optional power-adjustable steering wheel finished in fine wood. The list includes: an advanced navigation system, front and rear parking sensors, illuminated doorsills lighting the threshold to the Levante GranLusso and the optional Harman Kardon Premium Sound system. This is also the only car in the SUV segment to offer power foot pedals as an option. 36 LevanteGranSport DYNAMIC ELEGANCE The Levante GranSport offers explicitly dynamic impact. With the exterior styling, the sharper edge is expressed with fine dynamic detailing all-round. At the front, the large and assertive front grille, in Black Piano, is complemented by black bars. The recently added lower grille comes with Black Piano blades, while the new Sport bumper and roof rails have the same assertive trim. Like the GranLusso, the GranSport trim option also features side skirts and other details in the body colour. New additional features to the rear exterior include a Sport bumper, a Black Piano extractor and a Matt Black insert. There are dashes of sporting colour too, as the GranSport’s mighty 20” Nereo light alloy wheels are fitted with calipers in a bold red. 40 More SPORTING STYLE The GranSport trim offers front Sport seats, also with 12-way power adjustment and memory. In addition, there’s a power-adjustable Sport steering wheel with multi-function buttons, brushed chrome gearshift paddles and Sport pedals with the aluminium Sport finish. The motor sport feel can be further intensified with a range of carbon trim choices. As for the day-to-day practicalities, the GranSport offers front and rear parking sensors and an advanced navigation system. 42 E ENGINES Epic power SMOOTH REFINEMENT The V6 engines for the Levante are designed by Maserati Powertrain and built at Ferrari’s Maranello plant exclusively for Maserati – they deliver on all expectations. The engines in the different Levante versions offer everything you would expect of a Maserati – from snarling responsiveness to effortless long-distance refinement. They are also remarkably efficient. To achieve this characteristic balance, developers at Maserati Powertrain in conjunction with the Ferrari Powertrain development team adopted a twin turbocharger design – one for each cylinder bank – plus the latest valve control and high-pressure direct injection technology. Twin turbocharging isn’t new, of course. It was pioneered by Maserati with the Biturbo of 1981, an innovation the rest of the automotive industry has only recently caught on to. Nothing can match the Maserati engine note, however. With the Levante, a lightweight exhaust system with bypass valves ensures that it’s delivered to maximum effect. When Sport mode is active – which also sharpens the vehicle’s handling parameters – the valves open, providing the shortest, highest-energy route for the exhaust gases. The result is optimised performance and that unmistakably resonant, spine-tingling sound. 350 CV V6 TWIN TURBO The V6 engine in the Levante delivers 350 CV at 5,750 rpm and a peak torque of 500 Nm. The zero to 100 km/h sprint is despatched in just 6.0 seconds and the top speed is an impressive 251 km/h. Combined fuel consumption is 11.612.0 litres/100 km and combined CO2 emissions are between 268 and 278 g/km. 430 CV V6 TWIN TURBO The Levante S is equipped with the most powerful version of the V6. Maximum output has been raised to 430 CV and is delivered at 5,750 rpm. With overboost active in Sport mode, peak torque of 580 Nm is on tap. The sprint from 0-100 km/h is dispatched in 5.2 seconds and the top speed is 264 km/h. Combined fuel consumption and CO2 emissions are 11.8-12.2 litres/100 km and 273-282 g/km. 47 ART OFThe DIESEL - BY MASERATI The turbocharged V6 in the Maserati Levante diesel offers a captivating combination of massive power, long-distance refinement and impressive efficiency. Developing impressive output of 275 CV and a mighty 600 Nm of torque, the V6 diesel takes the Levante from zero to 100 km/h in a fast and smooth 6.9 seconds and on to a top speed of 230 km/h. Notably, 90 per cent of peak torque is available below 2,000 rpm for commanding day-to-day driving performance. Equally remarkably – and continuing the long-held Maserati tradition of grand touring − the Levante can easily achieve over 1,000 km without needing to refuel. As for economy and emissions, the figures speak volumes. Combined fuel consumption is 7.9-8.3 litres per 100 km and CO2 emissions are between 207 and 220 g/km. AUTO START-STOP More efficiencies are gained from Auto Start-Stop technology, also featured with the petrol engines. With the diesel, this leads to overall fuel and CO2 emission reductions of up to 6 per cent. The function automatically deactivates in Sport mode and when the driver turns off stability control. MASERATI ACTIVE SOUND SYSTEM The Maserati Active Sound system makes it abundantly clear that this engine is all Maserati. Two sound actuators underscore the engine’s most rousing tones and modulate them according to driving style. And when the driver presses the Sport button, the vocal performance becomes truly inspirational. The engine features a host of innovations that combine to maximise fuel efficiency, boost performance and keep emissions down. They include Common Rail direct injection, Exhaust Gas Recirculation and variable geometry turbocharging. 49 T TECHNOLOGY Performance AND COMPLETE CONTROL The advanced ZF automatic gearbox gives complete, direct and efficient control of the huge power and remarkable flexibility of the Levante. With a new two-lane gear lever featuring a dedicated Park button, the sophisticated eight-speed ZF automatic gearbox delivers improved comfort, faster gear shifting, better fuel consumption and increased refinement. The new system negates the need for the Manual button, as the driver can now simply push the gear lever into the left channel to select this mode. The different settings, listed below, can be selected via the switches next to the gear lever. AUTO NORMAL MODE This default mode provides smooth gearshifts at low revs to maximise ride comfort and minimise fuel consumption. When a sportier style of driving is recognised, upshifts automatically take place at higher engine speeds. MANUAL NORMAL MODE With Manual Normal, the driver can change gear using the optional paddles behind the steering wheel or the lever on the central tunnel. The system automatically shifts up when approaching the rev limiter, and shifts down at the moment that best suits the recognised driving style. AUTO SPORT MODE In this mode, gear changes are faster (under 100 ms) and occur at higher revs for a much sportier driving experience. The exhaust valves also open to ensure that the iconic Maserati engine sound is heard at its rousing best. Additionally, the Electronic Stability Program (ESP) is less intrusive, giving more control to the driver, while accelerator responses are sharpened up. What’s more, on petrol-engine versions, overboost is activated. This gives access to peak torque at a considerably reduced engine speed. Integrated Vehicle Control (IVC) adds to the excitement, giving the driver even more dynamic control. MANUAL SPORT MODE With Manual Sport, the driver is in full command of the transmission. A host of other factors also come in to play, making driving the Maserati even more exhilarating. The overboost function activates for maximum performance, the ESP is less intrusive, the exhaust valves open up for an even more aggressive tone and gear changes are quicker and sharper. The accelerator pedal mapping is also more aggressive and the engine can be pushed to the red line without the system intervening. The only automatic feature is downshifting if the revs drop too low. 53 MANUAL OFF-ROAD MODE When the driver selects a chosen speed in this mode, the Levante continues at that pace, even when climbing. This is extremely useful, for example, when the driver has to concentrate on a challenging ascent. This is because the SUV will effectively drive itself while the driver takes care of the steering. AUTOMATIC OFF-ROAD MODE This mode retains all the benefits of the Off-Road setting but adds the convenience of automatic shifting. This means the driver can give full focus to the rewards of driving the Levante. I.C.E. (INCREASED CONTROL & EFFICIENCY) MODE Not just for use in icy or low-grip conditions, this mode ensures an even quieter, smoother ride plus lower fuel consumption. In I.C.E. mode, gear changes are almost unnoticeable and take place automatically at the optimal point to increase fuel efficiency and cabin refinement. The boost in the engine is also dialled down, the exhaust valves remain closed until 5,000 rpm and smoother accelerator mapping provides unrivalled comfort. 55 An SUV WITH THE SOUL OF A GT The Levante is a high-riding and luxurious SUV with confidence-inspiring abilities in rough terrain. It’s also engineered, from the ground up, to drive like a sporting grand tourer on the open road. ACTIVE AIR SUSPENSION The advanced active air suspension raises or lowers the vehicle according to need or preference. With six settings to choose from, the driver can select whatever height is appropriate for the road or terrain, from a high clearance for off-roading to a low setting for fast, efficient and smooth motorway driving. Q4 INTELLIGENT ALL-WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM This system is developed to deliver the hallmark Maserati rearwheel-drive experience, even when grip is poor. In normal conditions, the Q4 system sends all torque to the rear wheels, for perfectly balanced Maserati driving dynamics and optimal fuel consumption. If traction is lost due to sudden acceleration or low grip on the rear axle, Q4 can alter the torque split from 100 per cent rear-wheel drive to 50-50 between the front and rear wheels. It all happens in an imperceptible 150 milliseconds – or less than the blink of an eye. Torque vectoring and a mechanical Limited-Slip Differential at the rear axle, unique for this class of vehicle, also provide essential support when it comes to dynamic driving stability. SPORT SKYHOOK SYSTEM This continuously adapts shock absorber damping to suit the situation. The system uses sensors that monitor the movement of each wheel and the car’s body to determine the road conditions and how the car is being driven. It then instantly adjusts the settings of each damper accordingly. The basic setting prioritises 56 ride comfort, but if more dynamic handling is required, a simple press of the Skyhook Sport Setting button on the Drive Mode control immediately firms up the shock absorbers. ELECTRIC POWER STEERING (EPS) All Levante versions feature EPS as standard, without compromising the responsiveness that is such an important part of our DNA. This system is designed to provide the excellent road-feel expected from Maserati. It is particularly efficient as it is powered directly by the engine when needed, so there is no need for a hydraulic pump. What’s more, with no pressurised fluid under the bonnet, less maintenance is required. The system adapts its weight according to speed, being lighter and easy to turn when manoeuvring in a tight spot, for instance. Conversely it has a weightier, more connected feel at high speeds. Another plus point is integration with active Advanced Driving Assistance Systems such as Highway Assist, Lane Keeping Assist and Active Blind Spot Assist. AIR SHUTTER With its drag coefficient of just 0.31, no other SUV in this class cuts through the air more effectively than the Maserati Levante. The front grille contributes in this way by continuously modulating airflow to the engine compartment. This delivers a host of benefits, including optimal engine temperature, reduced aerodynamic drag, improved performance and better all-round efficiency. Innovation FOR A CONNECTED WORLD A cutting-edge infotainment package for the 2019 Levante puts the focus on intuitive engagement, real-world assistance and adaptable enjoyment. The interior of the Levante is built around a driver interface that is intuitive, uncluttered and simple to use. The instrument cluster features large analogue gauges for the tachometer and speedometer, alongside a 7” TFT display. Major dynamic functions are incorporated into the buttons alongside the gearshift, while other on-board settings can be set using the Maserati Touch Control Plus (MTC+) infotainment system at the centre of the dashboard, or the steering wheel controls for the 7” TFT display. MASERATI TOUCH CONTROL PLUS The 8.4” Maserati Touch Control Plus (MTC+) unit takes pride of place at the centre of the Levante dashboard. With very few buttons plus a highly responsive interface, it is designed to help the driver maintain focus on the road ahead and mastering it is intuitive and easy. MTC+ can be operated in three ways: via the multi-touchscreen, the rotary control in the central console, or through voice commands. The system incorporates the car’s radio, Bluetooth®, and satellite navigation system (where fitted), along with connections to external sources such as mobile phones, tablets and laptop computers. 58 Using Aux-in, USB sockets or the SD card reader, you can also play music. In addition, MTC+ controls the front seat heating, as well as the ventilation, steering wheel heating and the operation of the rear sunblind, where fitted. The screen displays the rear view, with guidelines, for the reversing camera, too. The state-of-the-art system also features both Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto® mirroring functions. In addition, for iPhone® users, Apple’s Siri® system acts as a personal assistant, allowing them to carry out tasks using voice command. Through naturally spoken language, it is possible to make a call or access music, messages, reminders, emails, websites and much more. WORLD-CLASS AUDIO ENTERTAINMENT The Levante is offered with three audio system choices. A powerful 280-watt, eight-speaker package is fitted as standard and sets the bar at an impressively high level. You can, however, move up to one of two outstanding options designed for true audio aficionados – the 14-speaker Harman Kardon Premium Sound system and the 17-speaker Bowers & Wilkins Surround Sound system. S SAFETY Advanced DRIVING ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS The Levante is equipped with an impressively comprehensive range of Advanced Driving Assistance Systems. It means even greater peace of mind, whether you’re on a continent-crossing grand tour, dashing across town or taking on rough terrain. TRAFFIC SIGN RECOGNITION It can be easy to miss traffic signs sometimes, for all sorts of reasons. This is where Traffic Sign Recognition comes in. It monitors three types of sign: speed limits, temporary speed limits due to conditions such as heavy rain, and no-overtaking zones. It then displays the signs digitally in the cluster display. HIGHWAY ASSIST SYSTEM (HAS) This combines Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go and Lane Keeping Assist to make life easier on motorways, while achieving level 2 semi-autonomous driving. HAS automatically keeps the vehicle centred in its lane, at a pre-selected speed and at a chosen distance from the vehicle ahead. It will even decelerate the Levante through to a standstill as the traffic dictates. To ensure safety, the driver’s hands must remain on the steering wheel at all times. LANE DEPARTURE WARNING SYSTEM Thanks to a camera that monitors road markings, the Lane Departure Warning system helps the driver keep the vehicle in the chosen lane on motorways and main roads. This reduces lane drift and the possibility of lateral collisions by providing a warning when the vehicle crosses lane markings without the turn being activated. LANE KEEPING ASSIST (LKA) This provides valuable support if the driver is about to unintentionally leave a lane. A digital camera behind the rear-view mirror monitors road markings to keep track of the course ahead. If the Levante appears to be moving out of lane unintentionally, LKA actively steps in with corrective steering torque. ACTIVE BLIND SPOT ASSIST With this system, a warning icon appears in the door mirrors when a vehicle enters the driver’s blind spot. Three levels of support, including corrective steering torque, can be selected if the driver nonetheless initiates a lane change. SURROUND VIEW CAMERA This provides a clear 360° view around the car, helping with parking and highlighting otherwise hidden obstructions. Images are captured by two cameras beneath the door mirrors plus front and rear cameras and shown on the main display screen. ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL WITH STOP & GO Adaptive Cruise Control constantly monitors the vehicle ahead, maintaining a pre-set distance. With the Stop & Go function, the car will also adjust to the speed of the vehicle in front until it comes to a complete stop, if the stop is less than two seconds. 63 FORWARD COLLISION WARNING PLUS This monitors vehicles ahead and warns if the approach could result in a rear-end collision. This is linked to the Advanced Brake Assist system, which provides additional braking during an emergency stop. If the warning does not prompt any action from the driver, the Autonomous Emergency Braking system automatically applies the brakes to reduce the car’s speed. REAR CROSS PATH FUNCTION This is a welcome feature that emits a warning when an unseen vehicle is approaching, from the right or left, while reversing out of a parking space. FRONT AND REAR PARKING SENSORS AND REVERSING CAMERA To assist with manoeuvring in tight spaces, the Levante has parking sensors in the front and rear bumpers. Beeping noises increase in frequency as the obstacle approaches, while the TFT display in the centre of the instrument panel shows the car 64 surrounded by symbols which light up in green, yellow or red depending on the remaining distance. In addition, there is an optional rear-view camera to capture a view of what is behind the car. HILL HOLDER This system uses on-board sensors to detect the vehicle’s angle when parked facing uphill and briefly maintains braking pressure to allow the driver sufficient time to release the brake pedal and accelerate before the car rolls backwards. HILL DESCENT CONTROL (HDC) HDC allows for a smooth and controlled hill descent on snow or rough terrain without the driver needing to touch the brake pedal. If the vehicle accelerates with no input from the driver, the system will automatically apply the brakes to slow to the desired speed, which is set using the Cruise Control buttons. Applying pressure to the accelerator or brake pedal instantly overrides the system. Comprehensive SAFETY Every Maserati is designed and built to provide world-class levels of safety and peace of mind. Here are the main features offered by the Levante. THE MASERATI STABILITY PROGRAM Developed in the most extreme test conditions, the Maserati Stability Program (MSP) uses an array of sensors to constantly monitor driving status. It can then deploy a host of safety and performance systems to maintain handling and grip. If, for instance, a skid is detected, MSP selectively reduces engine torque and can activate the brakes with finely varied inputs to restore stability within milliseconds. The MSP system also works in harmony with functions including Anti Slip Regulation (ASR), which reduces wheel spin and improves traction, and engine torque brake control (MSR) that prevents the wheels from locking up when suddenly changing down. Additionally, anti-lock brakes (ABS) and Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) stop the wheels from locking and distribute brakeforce between the front and rear axles. Further support is provided by the Brake Assistance System (BAS). This recognises emergency stops and boosts the pressure in the hydraulic circuit to maximise stopping power. A Hill Holder, meanwhile, helps the driver when starting off on an uphill slope. INTEGRATED VEHICLE CONTROL It’s often better to be proactive, rather than reactive – especially when it comes to driving dynamics. Integrated Vehicle Control (IVC) anticipates any issues that could cause instability and counteracts them in the blink of an eye. The system works by selectively reducing engine torque and applying brakeforce to individual wheels as required. The result, out on the open road or through sweeping twists and turns, is increased safety, greater driving enjoyment and potentially higher speeds. 67 FULL-LED ADAPTIVE MATRIX HEADLIGHTS Beyond just offering distinctive style to the appearance of the Levante, the newly available Full-LED Adaptive Matrix headlights deliver additional safety and convenience for the driver and other road users. With 15 LEDs operating at full beam, these headlights offer a 200% greater field of vision than traditional halogen lights. The ingenious system, which includes an Adaptive Driving Beam, cleverly turns corners before you do and instantly responds to other road users to avoid dazzling them. Rather than simply dipping the headlights automatically, the glare-free High Beam function allows the full beam to continue shining without any danger of affecting oncoming vehicles. It achieves this feat by creating a ‘light tunnel’ which directs the light away from other vehicles. The system is capable of creating up to four light tunnels simultaneously, with each one being as large as an oncoming vehicle. TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM The system, standard on all Levante versions, continuously monitors tyre pressure using a sensor integrated with the valve. The pressure can be read on the dashboard display. In the case of a puncture or a change in tyre pressure, the system notifies the driver with visual and acoustic warnings. SIX AIR BAGS The Maserati Levante comes equipped with six air bags. Two front air bags, both dual-stage, shield the driver and front passenger in the event of a collision, while their torsos and hips are further protected by two side bags located in the front seats. There are also two window air bags fitted in the roof lining next to the central pillar that cushion the heads of the front and rear passengers if the car is struck from the side. 69 1693 Levante TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS 1631 967 3004 1662 70 1981 2158 5005 1034 Dimensions and weights Length Width (with side mirrors) Width (without side mirrors) Height Wheelbase Front track Rear track Front overhang Rear overhang Boot capacity Fuel tank capacity Kerb weight LEVANTE DIESEL 5005 mm 2158 mm 1981 mm 1693 mm 3004 mm 1631 mm 1662 mm 967 mm 1034 mm 580 l 80 l 2205 kg LEVANTE 5005 mm 2158 mm 1981 mm 1693 mm 3004 mm 1631 mm 1662 mm 967 mm 1034 mm 580 l 80 l 2109 kg LEVANTE S 5005 mm 2158 mm 1981 mm 1693 mm 3004 mm 1631 mm 1662 mm 967 mm 1034 mm 580 l 80 l 2109 kg Engine Number of cylinders and layout Displacement Bore Stroke Compression ratio Max. power output Engine speed at max. power output Peak torque Engine speed at peak torque Turbodiesel V6 60° 2987 cm³ 83 mm 92 mm 16.5:1 275 CV (202 kW) 4000 rpm 600 Nm 2000-2600 rpm Petrol V6 60° 2979 cm³ 86.5 mm 84.5 mm 9.7:1 350 CV (257 kW) 5750 rpm 500 Nm 1750-4750 rpm Petrol V6 60° 2979 cm³ 86.5 mm 84.5 mm 9.7:1 430 CV (316 kW) 5750 rpm 580 Nm 2000-4750 rpm TraNsmission Transmission Automatic 8 gears Automatic 8 gears Automatic 8 gears PERFORMANCE Maximum speed Acceleration (0-100 km/h) Stopping distance (100-0 km/h) Fuel consumption (urban cycle) Fuel consumption (combined cycle) Fuel consumption (extra urban cycle) CO2 emissions (urban cycle) CO2 emissions (combined cycle) CO2 emissions (extra urban cycle) Regulation 230 km/h 6.9 s 36 m 9.8-9.7 l/100 km 7.9-8.3 l/100 km 6.7-7.6 l/100 km 258-254 g/km 207-220 g/km 177-200 g/km Euro 6C 251 km/h 6.0 s 36 m 14.5-15.8 l/100 km 11.6-12.0 l/100 km 9.8 l/100 km 337-367 g/km 268-278 g/km 227 g/km Euro 6C 264 km/h 5.2 s 34.5 m 15.0-15.6 l/100 km 11.8-12.2 l/100 km 9.9-10.2 l/100 km 348-361 g/km 273-282 g/km 229-236 g/km Euro 6C 71 A WORLD OF MASERATI BECOME A MASTER OF DRIVING MASTER MASERATI DRIVING COURSES MASTER ON TRACK All Maserati cars embody the principles of GranTurismo.
