Maserati SUV Overview
History of the Maserati SUV
Curious about the meaning of the name “Levante”? The name of the first Maserati SUV comes from the Mediterranean wind that can shift from calm to fierce in an instant. With members from the automotive press looking on with great anticipation, the curtains opened up to unveil the first Maserati SUV at the Geneva Auto Show back in 2016. Another interesting bit of trivia is much of the inspiration for the Levante can be traced back to the 2011 Maserati Kubang concept model.
Although other luxury brands had launched their versions of performance SUVs, engineers worked around the clock to ensure that all the quintessential traits of Maserati were infused into the Levante. Certainly playing a role in its popularity with driving enthusiasts, the Maserati Levante has stayed true to the signature aspects of the brand while simultaneously providing growth through a new addition into the Maserati lineup.
