2015 Maserati Levante Review

    Next year, Maserati will be releasing part two of its plan to attract lower-end clients who don't want to pay $150K for a Quattroporte. In late 2013, Maserati released the Ghibli, which is a $70K sedan that competes with the Audi A7, the BMW 6 series Gran Coupe, and the Mercedes-Benz CLS. But, next year, they will release the Levante, a midsized crossover that competes with cars like the BMW X5 and the Mercedes-Benz ML. There will be a range of engine choces from their Quattroporte and Ghibli sedans, starting with a 3.0 liter V6 that makes 404 hp and a 3.8 liter V8 that makes 523 hp. It will be available with Maserati's Q4 all-wheel drive and it will probably be pretty good off-road, mainly because it need to compete with the Range Rover Sport.
