Maserati Levante Hybrid: A New Era in Electrified SUVs
Introduction
Breaking new ground in the SUV segment, Italian automaker Maserati has unveiled the Levante Hybrid in a physical and digital world premiere event. With the Brand’s first electrified SUV, Maserati takes a major step forward in its strategy for electrification, which began last year with the Ghibli Hybrid.
Engine and Performance
The Levante Hybrid combines a 4-cylinder, 2-litre engine with a 48-volt Hybrid system to recover energy during deceleration and braking. The hybrid car weighs less than the 6-cylinder engine equivalent (both diesel and gasoline) and has an even better weight distribution since the battery is placed in the rear without compromising the load capacity and balance.
Power and Acceleration
Thanks to a maximum power output of 330 hp and torque of 450 Nm delivered from just 2,250 rpm, the Levante Hybrid can hit a top speed of over 240 km/h and accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 6 seconds.
Design Features
In terms of appearance, the Levante Hybrid launch version is characterised by a new metallic tri-coat colour called Azzurro Astro, available as part of the brand’s customization programme, Maserati Fuoriserie.
Launch Event
Special guests at the digital premiere of Levante Hybrid included David Beckham, the new Maserati Brand Global Ambassador, and Dardust, who provided an exclusive soundtrack.
