Introducing Maserati’s First-Ever Hybrid SUV
Maserati has officially unveiled its all-new Levante Hybrid SUV at the Shanghai International Auto Show. The global debut was accompanied by a special digital launch event on the brand’s website (houseof.maserati.com), drawing Maserati enthusiasts from around the world.
Pioneering Maserati’s Electric Strategy
The Levante Hybrid marks Maserati’s first electric SUV, underscoring the brand’s ongoing commitment to its electrification strategy, which began last year with the launch of the Ghibli Hybrid.
Performance, Sustainability, and Customization
The Levante Hybrid stands out as a “fast, eco-friendly, and exceptionally equipped” sports SUV. It offers greater speed and sustainability compared to its diesel or petrol counterparts and comes with a diverse range of customizable features.
A Milestone in Maserati’s Journey
As a record-breaking model, the Levante Hybrid sets a new benchmark in Maserati’s journey toward a future where all new Maserati models will feature electrified powertrains.
Innovation Rooted in Maserati Heritage
The Levante Hybrid embodies Maserati’s latest innovations and unique philosophy for electric vehicles—enhancing performance while preserving true Maserati values. It delivers top speed, agility, improved fuel efficiency, and an elevated driving experience. The result is a hybrid SUV that offers the outstanding performance expected from Maserati.
Advanced Powertrain and Balanced Design
Powering the Levante Hybrid is a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine paired with a 48-volt hybrid system designed to recover energy during deceleration and braking. This hybrid SUV is lighter than comparable six-cylinder diesel and petrol models, with optimized weight distribution thanks to the rear-mounted battery, ensuring perfect balance without compromising cargo space. The Levante Hybrid is engineered for a more dynamic, enjoyable, and responsive drive.
