Maserati Launches New Sportivo Special Editions For Ghibli And Levante In UK

Maserati buyers in the UK can treat themselves to something a little more exclusive in 2021, thanks to the introduction of new Sportivo and Sportivo X special edition variants for the Ghibli and Levante SUV.

While both trims offer a host of additional features, it is the Sportivo X that should be the most desirable. Customers can choose between three exterior paint options in Nero Ribelle, Grigio Maratea, and Blu Emozione.

The specs are also exclusive to Maserati’s most desirable cars for the UK, namely the 350 PS (345 HP) Levante V6 and the recently introduced 330 PS (325 HP) Ghibli Hybrid.

Opt instead for the Sportivo X variant and you’ll also enjoy the Skyhook active damping suspension, the Driver Assistance Pack Plus, full-LED adaptive Matrix headlights, and 21-inch gloss black Titano alloy wheels.
