The Maserati Levante GTS is the quintessential V8 Levante – a perfect example of Maserati’s ability to build an award-winning SUV, capable of supreme performance and road handling.

Alongside a powerful Twin Turbo V8 on a finely tuned chassis, comes a state-of-the-art bodyshell, skilful styling to renew its looks and an exclusive interior wrapped in Full Premium Leather.

Boasting a top speed of 180mph, the Maserati Levante GTS’ 530hp 3.8-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine, until now, was reserved for the flagship Quattroporte GTS. The Levante GTS represents the next evolution of the Maserati SUV, accelerating to 62 mph from a standstill in just 4.3 seconds – an expression of raw power, with refinement. Expertly engineered and meticulously tuned to deliver a dynamic driving experience and long-distance comfort, the Levante GTS is equipped with one of the most powerful engines ever fitted in a Maserati.

On the exterior, the unmistakable Levante design achieves the utmost in sportiness in the GTS version. Thanks to an elegant restyling focused on the lower front fascia and the rear bumper, the Levante GTS boasts a more aggressive and, at the same time, even more sophisticated presence.

Inside, interior designers have come up with ways to create a distinctive environment within the Levante GTS cabin providing it with standard Full Premium Leather upholstery, sport pedals and Harman Kardon Audio system with 14 speakers. The human-machine interface features updated display graphics and improved climate system ergonomics.

The Levante features the Integrated Vehicle Control (IVC) system for impressive driving dynamics, better performance, and a genuine Maserati driving experience. Instead of correcting “driver mistakes” as a traditional Electronic Stability Program (ESP) system does, it works in partnership with the driver to deliver seamless, engaging handling.

Like every Levante, the new GTS boasts a highly responsive interface unit that uses the Maserati Touch Control Plus (MTC+) with 8.4″ capacitive touchscreen and a user-friendly rotary knob in the central console, providing intuitive control of the on-board systems. The high-resolution screen operates like a tablet, recognising drag, scroll, swipe and rotate gestures. The system includes digital radio, Bluetooth, satellite navigation supports both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

MTC+ also controls seat and steering wheel heating, front seat ventilation and the rear window blinds, if fitted. It has been further improved with updated display graphics and improved climate system ergonomics. The button that deactivates the Start&Stop function can now be dragged and dropped on the main screen bar for immediate access from every single menu.
