Maserati has bumped up the asking prices of its large SUV, the Levante, by between $1000 and $9000 depending on the trim level.
This follows the Italian automaker’s simplification of trim levels across its Levante, Ghibli and Quattroporte lines for the 2022 model year.
The 2022 Maserati Levante range now starts at $135,990 before on-road costs for the GT, and extends to $299,990 before on-road costs for the fire-breathing Trofeo.
Besides the trim level name changes, the 2022 Levante now gets active safety features such as autonomous emergency braking (AEB), blind-spot assist, lane-keep assist, adaptive cruise control and traffic sign recognition as standard.
These safety features are part of the previously optional Base package on the Levante GT. Other features in this pack include aluminium paddle shifters and a power tailgate with kick sensor.
The Maserati Levante was first revealed at the 2016 Geneva motor show and has been on sale in Australia since July 2016.
It will soon be joined by another, smaller SUV, the Grecale, which is set to arrive locally in the first quarter of 2023.
