Alongside the capsule collection, Maserati will be showcasing their new SUV, Levante, which is also available at the Premier Motors showroom in Khalidiya, Abu Dhabi.
“This is the first time that the Levante with Ermenegildo Zegna interiors will be available in the UAE and it is fitting that the car will be showcased in this unique way at The Galleria on Al Maryah Island underlining this unrivalled combination of Italian craftsmanship, luxury and quality,” said Umberto Cini, Managing Director, Maserati Middle East, India and Africa.
The Levante is the brand’s first luxury SUV, encompassing the design, performance and exclusivity central to all Maserati vehicles since the Italian marque’s inception in 1914. A Levante S with Ermenegildo Zegna interiors takes pride of place at The Galleria on Al Maryah Island display showcasing the luxury aspect to the Maserati brand. The car is finished in Blue Emozione, and features the Luxury Pack with the Cuoio Zegna Edition interior. The finest leather is combined with natural Zegna Mulberry Silk fibre inserts on the seats, door panels, roof lining, sunshades and ceiling light fixture. The Silk is embellished with a hand-stitched Micro Chevron. The seats feature a central silk insert with a Macro Chevron weave. The door panels, roof lining and sun visor are covered with Zegna silk jersey.
Charles Martinez, General Manager of The Galleria comments, ‘As a hub for cultural and community activities in Abu Dhabi, we are thrilled to be hosting the Ermenegildo Zegna and Maserati exhibition as the exclusive location to preview this Capsule Collection. At The Galleria, we focus on providing our visitors with unique experiences related to art, culture, design, and fashion.

Other Maserati models in the current range including the Ghibli, Ghibli S, Quattroporte, new Quattroporte GranLusso GTS, GranTurismo and GranCabrio Sport, will also be on display at The Galleria during the ten day event. The on-going, multi-year partnership is based on the strong Italian heritage of the two luxury brands and was designed in part to celebrate, as a first step, Maserati’s Centennial in 2014. Over the course of their collaboration, the companies developed a limited edition collection of 100 flagship Maserati Quattroporte in 2013 made with an exclusive interior fabric from Lanificio Zegna, followed by the creation of a special edition trim package for Maserati Ghibli in 2015, which now is also available on the Quattroporte and the new Levante SUV.
