Maserati Levante Hybrid Blends Power, Green & Luxury

January 3, 2024
Maserati is spearheading the charge into the future of electrification with the introduction of the Levante Hybrid, marking the brand's second step in its electrification journey. Following the success of the Ghibli Hybrid, Maserati's commitment to innovation and performance is now embodied in the Levante Hybrid, the brand's first hybrid SUV.
 
The Levante Hybrid is more than just a vehicle; it's a testament to Maserati's innovative nature. With a focus on enhancing performance while staying true to the brand's core values, Maserati has crafted a hybrid SUV that not only delivers exceptional performance but also retains the distinctive sound that defines every Maserati.
 
This new addition to the Maserati lineup expands its range, making it even more competitive, innovative, and responsive to the evolving demands of the market. The Levante Hybrid perfectly encapsulates the brand's vision for the future: faster, greener, and truly unique.
 
The Power of Hybrid Technology:
The Levante Hybrid ingeniously combines a 4-cylinder, 2-liter engine with a 48-volt hybrid system. This hybrid system is designed not only to recover energy during deceleration and braking but also to maintain exceptional performance levels while ensuring fuel efficiency. Maserati's choice of a mild hybrid solution reflects its commitment to both high performance and fuel conservation.
 
The results are remarkable – enhanced performance with reduced fuel consumption. The Levante Hybrid achieves the brilliance of a gasoline V6 engine's performance while saving fuel, making it more efficient than its counterparts equipped with gasoline or diesel V6 engines. According to WLTP data, CO2 emissions are reduced by 20% compared to gasoline and 8% compared to diesel.
 
Why Choose the Levante Hybrid?
Exceptional Performance: 330 hp engine with 450 Nm torque delivering 0-100 km/h acceleration in just 6 seconds and a top speed of 245 km/h.
Reduced Emissions: Up to 20% lower CO2 emissions compared to the gasoline V6 and 8% lower than the diesel, thanks to the 48-volt hybrid system.
Enhanced Driving Experience: Smooth 6-cylinder response combined with low-rpm responsiveness of a diesel, all with the signature Maserati growl.
Improved Efficiency: Optimized weight distribution and fuel savings of over 20% compared to the 350 hp V6 version.
Unmistakably Maserati: Distinctive design, luxurious interior, and the iconic Trident badge, ensuring a unique driving experience.
 
Innovative Hybrid System Components:
The Maserati 48-volt hybrid system comprises four essential parts: the Belt Starter Generator (BSG), battery, eBooster, and a DC/DC converter. The BSG recovers energy during braking, charging the battery that powers the engine's eBooster. The eBooster, working in tandem with the conventional turbocharger, ensures sustained power output at low rpm.

New Azzurro Astro tri-coat blue color and Grigio Evoluzione grey option, exclusive to hybrid models.
Cobalt blue accents on air ducts, brake calipers (optional), and C-pillar logo.
New logos including a Trident-only C-pillar logo, GT badge above side vents, and modified tailgate lettering.

Limited-slip self-locking differential for enhanced grip.
Torque vectoring for increased sportiness and driving pleasure.
Air suspension system with six different ride levels for comfort and adaptability.

This hybrid system's intelligent operating strategy ensures the availability of the eBooster whenever needed. The BSG and eBooster combination provides an extra boost in Sport mode, enhancing performance benefits, while in Normal mode, it optimizes fuel consumption and performance.
 
The Levante Hybrid, designed for optimal performance, weighs less than its 6-cylinder engine equivalent, providing improved weight distribution and agility without compromising load capacity.
 
Powerful Performance and Reduced Emissions:
With a maximum power output of 330 hp and torque of 450 Nm from just 2250 rpm, the Levante Hybrid achieves impressive performance metrics. It boasts a top speed of 245 km/h and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 6 seconds. Notably, it significantly reduces CO2 emissions to 220-243 gCO2/km in the WLTP cycle, accompanied by a fuel saving of over 20% compared to the 350 hp V6 version while maintaining the same level of performance.
 
The Maserati Sound:
Despite its hybrid nature, the Levante Hybrid retains the unmistakable growl characteristic of every Trident Brand model. Maserati achieves this distinctive sound without amplifiers, relying on refined fluid dynamics of the exhausts and resonators tuned to deliver the trademark sound. For anyone on board a Maserati hybrid, the unmistakable roar of a Maserati engine remains an integral part of the driving experience.
 
Distinctive Features and Elegant Design:
 
The Levante Hybrid introduces a new metallic tri-coat blue color named Azzurro Astro, available in the Maserati Fuoriserie program. Complementing this, the hybrid version adds Grigio Evoluzione to its color assortment. Cobalt blue details on the exterior, including the iconic side air ducts, brake calipers (optional), and C-pillar logo, further identify the Levante Hybrid as part of the Maserati hybrid family.
 
Inside, blue seams on the seats add a touch of sophistication. The Levante Hybrid features new logos, with the oval logo and C-pillar logo prominently displaying the Trident. The GT badge appears above the three side air ducts, and the tailgate lettering is refreshed. The interior modifications extend to the multimedia system logo.
 
Debuting in GT Trim:
 
The Levante Hybrid makes its debut in the new GT trim, showcasing GranLusso external styling features with the Sport Pack available as an option. Chrome finishes on the front bumper and grille, similar to Granlusso versions, along with the GT badge above the side air vents, highlight the elegance of the GT trim. GT interiors feature Standard Leather Grain A and Black Piano Trim, with additional leather and trim upgrades available as options.
 
Exceptional Design and Performance:
 
The design concept of the Levante seamlessly combines coupe lines, interior space for five people, and exceptional aerodynamic efficiency. Instantly recognizable from a distance, the imposing grille, updated with the innovative front grille design for MY21, remains chromed for the Hybrid version. Rear light clusters with a boomerang design and elegant chrome inserts in the front fascia further enhance the Levante's distinctive exterior identity.
 
Performance-Enhancing Chassis and Suspension:
 
The Levante's chassis, designed for exceptional rigidity and optimal weight distribution, incorporates lightweight materials, ensuring both safety and performance. Its suspension configuration, featuring a double-wishbone front suspension and multi-link rear suspension, provides precise handling and control. The air suspension system, standard on the Levante Hybrid, allows for different ride levels, enhancing comfort, and active safety while reducing fuel consumption.
 
Intelligent All-Wheel Drive and Driving Modes:
 
Equipped with the Maserati Q4 Intelligent All-Wheel Drive System, the Levante Hybrid ensures the benefits of rear-wheel drive even in low-grip conditions. The system transfers traction to the front wheels as needed, with an immediate response. The Q4 Intelligent All-Wheel Drive, combined with variable torque settings, responds in real-time to changes in driving conditions, optimizing grip for each wheel.
 
Driving modes such as Normal, Sport, and Off Road, accessible at the touch of a button, allow drivers to tailor the Levante's performance to their preferences. In Sport mode, the suspension offers a specific sport setting, and torque vectoring is active. Off Road mode increases ride height, providing enhanced capabilities for off-road driving.
