The spark of electrification lights up the Maserati Levante Hybrid
Maserati Levante Hybrid the SUV of duality:
performance and reduced consumption,
fast, sustainable, unique and focused on the future
Modena, April 19th 2021 – The spark of electrification hits the “Maserati of SUVs”. They say that lightning never strikes the same spot twice, but that’s just a legend: the incandescent flash that electrified the Ghibli Hybrid last year continues its path and prepares to ignite all future Maserati models.
Maserati Levante Hybrid marks a bold step forwards into the future of Maserati. This new step combines the two-litre 4-cylinder thermal engine with a 48-volt Hybrid system that allows to the driver to recover energy during deceleration and braking. Technology meets exclusivity; power combines with a respect for the environment. Accepting less than the best is not an option.
This latest evolution in the SUV is lighter than its corresponding petrol version: faster, greener and even more iconic. Incredible performance with minimal impact on the environment. With a maximum speed of 240 km/h, and 0 to 100 km/h in just 6 seconds, the Maserati Levante Hybrid reaches 330 hp of maximum power and 450 Nm of torque at 2,250 rpm. But do not worry, despite the hybridization, the Brand’s unmistakable trademark – the distinctive Maserati sound – still remains.
New icons in the Brand’s voyage towards electrification, bold blue cobalt illuminates details throughout the Maserati Levante Hybrid: from the three signature side air intakes, to the brake callipers; from the logo on the rear pillar, to the embroidered stitch work on the interiors. The futuristic lightning bolt takes shape in the metallic tri-layer colour “Azzurro Astro”, chosen for the launch of Maserati Levante Hybrid. Iridescent and magic at the same time: a perfect balance that shifts between blue, when touched bathed in light and grey when in the shadows. Blue like the sky above Modena and like the oceanic home of the God Neptune, who lent his Trident to the Maserati brothers.
Maserati Levante Hybrid is a SUV built of contrasts: balancing performance with reduced consumption, similarly, its global launch will be both virtual, on houseof.maserati.com, and physically at the Shanghai Auto Show.
