2019 Maserati Levante Granlusso

The Maserati Levante is the first-ever SUV under the Maserati brand with a Ferrari-developed engine making for a perfect addition to the family of SUVs within the luxury car market. The Italian carmaker Maserati has a remarkable history of crafting high-quality vehicles with a beautiful combination of sport, comfort and classy sophistication.

From the inside, this Maserati Levante includes comfortable Ermenegildo Zegna silk and leather interior with detailed stitching, sleek black and red colors that pop as well as heated and ventilated front seats. The 8.4-inch MTC+ "Maserati Touch Control Plus" is an intuitive and convenient touch screen from which you can operate all comforts of the interior. Additional features include hands-free Bluetooth and audio streaming and Harman Kardon Premium Audio System with 14 speakers, making for a clean, clear sound system that kicks. You will also find the modern conveniences of navigation, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as well as SiriusXM Radio and Travel Link +Traffic monitoring. The dual-pane panoramic sunroof allows for additional airflow. You'll enjoy the convenience of rain-sensing windshield wipers, power rear-side sunshades and the ease of soft-close doors.

Some safety features of the Maserati Levante include a rearview backup camera, blind spot detection, tire pressure monitoring system, automatic hill hold and hill descent control, as well as a brake assistance system.

Keeping with its Italian roots, the driving experience of the Maserati Levante is thrilling and smooth with its 3.0L twin turbo V6 engine and nimble, athletic torque. The sport and off-road driving modes make for a gentle transition between various terrain. I would recommend the Maserati Levante in the class of SUVs for its beauty, comfort and ease of driving; with a fair total suggested retail price of $87,755.
