DIVA Drives

Slipping inside the interior, we were greeted by the Levante’s breathtaking Italian flair as well as the effective automatic four zone climate control. Feeling more like a first-class lounge than a car’s cabin, all the materials, trimmings and finishes throughout the vehicle are of a premium standard and no expense has been spared in the creation of this deluxe environment. The comfortable heated and ventilated leather front sport seats, with wraparound shape for extra support, are multi-adjustable and fitted as standard in the new generation. The Levante range is now equipped with Maserati’s sport steering wheel that enhances the model’s sportiness and when coupled with the brushed steel sport pedals, recreates a sports GT setting. Thanks to the long wheelbase, there is a generous amount of space on offer throughout the vehicle with plenty of leg, shoulder and head room for all occupants. The luggage compartment has been designed to hold up to 580 litres, a total drastically increased with the rear seats folded down. There is also a 12V power socket in the luggage area, along with three more sockets inside the cabin. To ensure you, as the buyer, can express your own style, Maserati are providing a total of 28 interior colour combinations as well as contrast stitching options on the seats and headrests to select from.

The Maserati Levante boasts a highly intuitive interface unit, namely the Maserati Touch Control Plus (MTC Plus). The tastefully designed dashboard and centre console have been created to perfectly house the 8.4-inch capacitive touchscreen, the cluster of drive mode buttons as well as the ergonomically designed rotary control and air suspension switch. The instrument panel is reminiscent of the layout in the Ghibli and Quattroporte models, complemented by ambient white lighting. Stunning aluminium and chrome finishes underscore the classy nature of this car, whilst the Harman Kardon Audio System with eight speakers provides the soundtrack for all your luxurious adventures. The new Levante is powered by a three-litre, twin turbo petrol engine that delivers 350hp and 500Nm of torque from 1,750 up to 4,750rpm. This combined with a ZF eight-speed automatic gearbox, translates to an acceleration of 0-100km/h in around 6.0 seconds and a top speed of 251km/h. Everything about this vehicle felt fast and efficient. The traction control, stateof-the-art air suspension system, superior cornering ability as well as the uber responsive braking system, place you in firm control of the driving experience. A host of safety, security and assistance features are fitted as standard to always ensure the wellbeing of you and your loved ones. We at OHLALA cannot sing the praises of this outstanding premium SUV loudly enough.
