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.
Trofeo
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.
At launch the Grecale be available with a pair of four-cylinder engines and a twin-turbo V6. The latter of these engines is a derivative of the engine from the MC20 supercar.
There’s also an all-electric version of the Grecale in the works which is set also set to come Down Under, though timing hasn’t been confirmed.
To the end of May 2022, Maserati has sold a total of 174 Levante models. It was outsold by the likes of the BMW X5 (1300 sales), Mercedes-Benz GLE wagon (925 sales), Lexus RX (778 sales), Range Rover Sport (661), and the Audi Q7 (465 sales).
The Levante has, however, outsold the Jaguar F-Pace (143 sales) and Genesis GV80 (103 sales) during this period.
