The first SUV from the Italian luxury car maker, the Maserati Levante has been causing waves in the luxury SUV market since its debut. The good news is that deliveries have been initiated in the UAE and customers will be able to book test drives at Maserati showrooms in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah.

The Maserati Levante combines the excellent off-road capability expected from an SUV with the styling and supercar performance of a Maserati. There will be two options for UAE customers; Levante and Levante S.

The luxury SUV is powered by a 3.0 Twin Turbo V6 petrol engine that helps it to sprint from 0-100 km/h in 6 seconds and reach a top speed of 251 km/h. On the other hand, the Levante S takes 5.2 seconds to reach to 100 km/h and has a top speed of 264 km/h.

The safety features include six dual-stage airbags, active headrests, tyre pressure monitoring system, Adaptive Cruise Control, Blind Spot Alert, Rear Cross Path Detection, Lane Departure and Forward Collision warning system.

Test drives can be booked at Premiere Motors Showrooms in Abu Dhabi and Al Tayer Motors Showrooms across other UAE emirates. The new Maserati Levante comes with a three years unlimited kilometres warranty and three years/60,000 km service and maintenance package.

The price starts at Dh329,000 for the Levante and Dh369,000 for the Levante S.
