Petrol Maserati Levante S arrives in the U.K.

Maserati GB is pleased to announce the arrival of the petrol version of the Levante Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) - the Levante S - to the U.K., which joins the diesel version launched last year. The Maserati Levante, the brand's first luxury SUV, is now available in the U.K. with a 430bhp 3.0-litre V6 twin-turbo engine built by Ferrari that boasts a top speed of 264km/h and a 0-100km/h time of just 5.2 seconds.

The petrol unit joins the 275bhp 3.0-litre V6 turbodiesel powertrain already available on the Levante in the U.K. Featuring active air suspension as standard that offers five varying ride heights, the Levante boasts the lowest centre of gravity in its class. The Levante, which features the intelligent Q4 AWD system as standard on all versions, is the ideal complement to the existing Maserati range.

Combined with the Quattroporte, Ghibli, GranTurismo and GranCabrio, the range now covers the entirety of the global luxury automotive market. The Levante S will be available in the U.K. from September.
