When you think of Maserati,
When you think of Maserati, you can’t help but think of sensuous design, Italian charm and a rich heritage of characterful cars. Now the Maserati Levante has done well to bring that essence to a practical SUV shape. But how much of that stays intact when electrification and downsizing are thrown in with the Maserati Levante GT Hybrid?
To start with, the Levante Hybrid, unlike the name suggests is only a mild-hybrid system that assists a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol with a 48V alternator and an electric supercharger. It may be the entry point to the range but still makes a healthy 330PS and 450 Nm and is 18 per cent more efficient than the V6 you find in the Modena. The GT Hybrid is quick but not blisteringly so, the 0 to 100 kmph time is 6s and the top speed is 240 kmph.
Maserati has thrown a kitchen sink's worth of chassis tech at this SUV to make it feel not like one. So there is the Q4 AWD system that keeps the Levante rear-driven, only sending up to 50 per cent torque to the front axle when needed. The lighter engine up front and the battery pack placed on the rear axle make for good dynamic attributes but there is also torque vectoring and a limited-slip-differential along with adaptive air suspension. Watch the video to see what this feels like out on the road.
