If you’re in the market for a brand-new luxury SUV and haven’t made up your mind yet on an existing model already on sale, then the Maserati Levante will likely be on your shopping list this year.
We already know that Maserati’s first effort in the segment will launch in late June in two guises, the $72,000 base model with a 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 producing 345 horses, and the $83,000 ‘S’ that gets a 424hp version of the same engine. Both are paired to a standard 8-speed automatic and Maserati’s “Q4” all-wheel drive system that can transfer torque between the axles instantaneously when needed.
What Maseratilevanteforum member Maserati_Matt offers us today is the preliminary dealer ordering guide that gives us an insight on what the Italian brand plans to charge for various extras, packages and such – though, keep in mind that these are believed to be estimates, not final prices.
Still, it’s an interesting read with the PDF showing that Maserati will offer various packages, including the Luxury Zegna for around $8,000 on the base model and $7,000 on the ‘S’ variant, and the Sport Package that bundles features like 20-inch rims and red brake calipers for $6,000 and $5,000 respectively on the aforementioned editions.
The dealer guide also mentions that Maserati expects the Levante’s core competition to include luxury SUVs priced between $50,000 to $90,000 in the USA, including the Porsche Cayenne, BMW X5 and X6, Mercedes-Benz GLE and GLE Coupe, Land Rover’s Range Rover Sport, Audi Q7 and Infiniti’s QX70.
