Maserati Levante 3.0L twin-turbo V6 2017

History and background

The Maserati Levante was introduced in 2016 as Maserati's first SUV model, marking the brand's entry into a segment in which it had not previously held a direct position. The 2017 Maserati Levante 3.0L twin-turbo V6 belongs to the first generation of this model and combines the GT character Maserati is traditionally known for with the practicality of a luxury SUV. In Europe, the Levante was positioned as an alternative to larger premium-SUV’s, with an emphasis on driving experience and Italian design.

Within the model line, the Maserati Levante represented an important step in the brand's modernization. The car was on the platform that Maserati shared with other luxury models within the FCA group, but was given its own tuning and character. The further development of the Levante continued in the following years in different versions and technical variants. In the Netherlands, the Maserati Levante 3.0L twin-turbo V6 appeals mainly to enthusiasts who seek space and utility value without distancing themselves from the sporty brand image.

The market position of the Maserati Levante was partly determined by its distinctive design, brand image and engine character. The V6 twin-turbo version fits into Maserati's tradition of combining performance with a distinct sound and a more emotional approach than many direct competitors. With Maserati's shift toward electrification and the gradual phasing out of gasoline versions, this type is gaining a clearer place within recent model history in today's market.

Characteristics and particulars

This Maserati Levante 3.0L twin-turbo V6 is equipped with an eight-speed automatic transmission. That type of transmission was commonly used in this segment for its combination of comfort and shifted speed, and suits the Levante's positioning as a luxury SUV with sporty features. The model is known for a steering behavior that is more direct than many comparable SUV’s, while the design and engine sound are an important part of its character.

The car has driven 50,807 km and the mileage is demonstrably accumulated through registrations of 33,200 km in 2022 and 46,300 km in 2024. The Maserati Levante 3.0L twin-turbo V6 comes with two original remote control keys. The original maintenance and service books are also present and filled out.

Japanese examples of the Maserati Levante are generally known for a consistent maintenance history and careful use within the strict maintenance regime common there. Combined with Maserati's current shift toward electric models, the Maserati Levante 3.0L twin-turbo V6 has a place within a generation of gasoline-powered SUV’s that are gradually becoming scarcer in Europe.
