Maserati Levante

Shortly after Maserati unveiled the Kubang concept at the 2011 Frankfurt Auto Show, rumors began circulating that a production version would soon be offered, and it didn’t take long for Maserati to confirm its first-ever SUV, the Levante. The crossover takes its name from “a warm, Mediterranean wind,” as well as the Via Emilia Levante in Bologna, where about a century ago, the Maserati brothers dreamed up the company that still bears their name today.

With a worldwide debut at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show, the Levante gives Maserati access to the flourishing crossover/SUV market, and consequently, a much wider audience, hopefully improving sales figures and profits.
