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 3.9 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. Bristling with advanced features, the Levante GTS and Levante Trofeo come with high-revving V8 engines that generate exceptional levels of power and acceleration. The GTS takes grand touring to new heights in terms of power and comfort, while the performance of the Trofeo is particularly noteworthy, with a truly extraordinary 590 HP and a peak torque of 730 Nm. 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 double vertical 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 ever-present 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 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 Pieno Fiore natural leather on the seats, standard on Levante Trofeo, hand-stitched leather on the dashboard side panels and other surfaces either in genuine wood or the new Matt Carbon Fibre Weave. 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 E EPIC POWER GTS Levante IMPECCABLE BREEDING IS UNMISTAKABLE Not only does the new Maserati Levante GTS elevate your driving position, it also takes performance and luxury to a higher level. Few engines set the blood running through the veins quite like the twin-turbo V8. It produces a momentous 550 HP and 730 Nm of torque, setting you soaring from 0-100 km/h in an exhilaration 4.2 seconds and on to a top speed of 292 km/h. They say appearances can be deceptive, but not in this case. The sleek and muscular exterior of the Levante GTS promises everything that the breathtaking engine delivers. At the front, the eye is drawn to the purposeful V8-specific front grille with a chromed frame. Below, the V8-specific lower grille sits with Black Piano blades, a lower honeycomb mesh fascia and the Sport bumper, while door handles are painted in the body colour. Seen from the rear, this stylish SUV is every bit as captivating with its Sport bumper, a Matt Black insert, the body colour extractor and V8-specific exhaust pipes. The GTS badge is the crowning glory, perfectly encapsulating the legendary Maserati tradition of grand touring. A MARRIAGE MADE IN ITALY Outstanding luxury is no less expected from a Maserati than searing performance, and the Levante GTS − created in the Mirafiori plant in Turin – does not disappoint. The ergonomically designed Sport seats are upholstered in premium leather, offering elegance and extraordinary comfort, mile after mile. Yet, the race-bred credentials of this vehicle will always remain to the fore, thanks to the striking Black Piano trim and compelling features such as the Sport steering wheel, aluminium gearshift paddles and Sport foot pedals. While every Maserati achieves an unlikely balance between exceptional performance and uncompromised luxury, the Levante GTS sets a new benchmark. 30 Levante Trofeo BE THE STORM Unrivalled in terms of power, the tempestuous new Levante Trofeo Maserati SUV is capable of generating all the intensity of a raging storm. Yet this astounding force remains under complete control as the twin-turbo V8 engine produces a spine-tingling 590 HP. It thunders from 0-100 km/h in a mere 3.9 seconds and reaches a dizzying top speed of 304 km/h. At the front, set beneath the purposeful bonnet with air vents, the front grille is styled in striking Black Piano. The carbon fibre splitter, together with carbon fibre blades on the V8-specific lower grille and carbon fibre inserts on the front Sport bumper and side splitter, are further reminders that performance is a priority. The unique Saetta Trofeo logo takes pride of place on the rear flank. Moving further back, more carbon fibre inserts feature on the rear Sport bumper. The Levante badge rests just above, while the V8 dark exhaust pipes below provide a subtle reminder of its race-bred motorsport performance. It all sits on top of up to 22” wheels, fitted with red forged brake calipers that provide an extra dash of colour. V ery GRAND TOURING Regardless of its spellbinding acceleration, no Maserati road car would ever sacrifice luxury for performance. So the sports car cockpit of the Levante Trofeo offers all the comfort of a prestigious sedan, built to the enduring principles of Maserati grand touring. The sculpted Sport seats are upholstered in premium Pieno Fiore natural leather, offering elegance together with a supreme softness to the touch. The motorsport credentials are emphasised by the carbon fibre trim and complementary touches, such as the carbon fibre gearshift paddles and Sport foot pedals. Even away from the excitement and victories of the track, the Levante Trofeo still possesses a winning charm. 34 E ENGINES Superlative POWER, TOTAL CONTROL The V8 engines for the Levante are built at Ferrari’s Maranello plant exclusively for Maserati, and they take performance to a whole new level. Nothing can match the distinctive Maserati engine note. In 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 engine performance and that unmistakably resonant, spine-tingling sound. But no matter how awe-inspiring, power is meaningless without control. That’s why the extraordinary V8 engines in the Levante Trofeo and GTS make the torque available in low engine rpm to offer a perfectly balanced and unforgettable drive. 550 HP V8 TWIN TURBO The Levante GTS boasts an impressive 550 HP and torque that tops out at 730 Nm. Despite the electrifying zero to 100 km/h acceleration of just 4.2 seconds and a maximum speed of 292 km/h, that familiar Maserati engine note is reassuringly as pronounced and controlled as ever. 590 HP V8 TWIN TURBO The ferocious V8 engine in the Levante Trofeo delivers an exceptional 590 HP and peak torque of 730 Nm. The scorching dash to 100 km/h sprint is completed in an astounding 3.9 seconds with a top speed of of 304 km/h. This is searing racebred power adapted for the road. 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. 39 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. 45 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. CORSA MODE Only available on the Levante Trofeo, the Corsa mode can be activated by double-pressing the Sport button. This immediately creates the most dynamic settings for the engine, gearbox, air suspensions (Aero 2 mode), Skyhook, steering, exhaust system, traction control and stability control. Launch Control adds to the intensity − an innovation that enables drivers of both racing and road cars to accelerate more rapidly from a standing start. 47 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 48 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 The Maserati Levante has a drag coefficient of just 0.33 with a front grille that contributes by continuously modulating airflow to the engine compartment. 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 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. 50 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. 55 FORWARD COLLISION WARNING PLUS This system monitors vehicles and pedestrians ahead and warns if the approach could result in a rear-end collision. If the warning does not prompt any action from the driver, the Autonomous Emergency Braking system (AEB) automatically applies the brakes to reduce the car’s speed. It is linked to the Advanced Brake Assist system (ABA), which provides additional braking during an emergency stop. 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 56 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. 59 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. 61 1698 Levante TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS 1637 975 3004 1699 1981 2158 5020 1041 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 GTS 5020 mm 2158 mm 1981 mm 1698 mm 3004 mm 1637 mm 1699 mm 975 mm 1041 mm 580 l 80 l 2170 kg LEVANTE TROFEO 5020 mm 2158 mm 1981 mm 1698 mm 3004 mm 1637 mm 1699 mm 975 mm 1041 mm 580 l 80 l 2170 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 Petrol V8 90° 3799 cm³ 86.5 mm 80.8 mm 9.44:1 550 HP (405 kW) 6250 rpm 730 Nm 2500-5000 rpm Petrol V8 90° 3799 cm³ 86.5 mm 80.8 mm 9.44:1 590 HP (434 kW) 6250 rpm 730 Nm 2500-5000 rpm TraNsmission Transmission 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 (extra urban cycle) Fuel consumption (combined cycle) CO2 emissions (urban cycle) CO2 emissions (extra urban cycle) CO2 emissions (combined cycle) Regulation 292 km/h 4.2 s 34.5 m 18.8 l/100 km 10.5 l/100 km 13.5 l/100 km 435 g/km 243 g/km 313 g/km markets to check locally 304 km/h 3.9 s 34.5 m 18.8 l/100 km 10.5 l/100 km 13.5 l/100 km 435 g/km 243 g/km 313 g/km markets to check locally Data updated to September 2019 62 63 THE WORLD OF MASERATI BECOME A MASTER OF DRIVING MASTER MASERATI DRIVING COURSES Driving a Maserati on the open road is one of life’s most exhilarating experiences.
