Maserati’s first ever Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV), the Maserati Levante, is now available in the 2019 Model Year specification here in Malaysia. Naza Italia, authorised importer and distributor for Maserati in Malaysia has announced that they will be offering the petrol-powered Maserati Levante S with GranSport and GranLusso trims.
Prices for the 2019 Maserati Levante S will start from RM788,800.00 (inclusive of local taxes and duties). The asking price includes 3 years Standard Warranty coverage with unlimited mileage as well as with the Maserati Premium Service Plus of 3 years/60,000 km whichever comes first (T&C applies).
The 2019 Maserati Levante S 'upgrades' includes a redesigned gearshift lever with shorter travel and improved operation. The Levante, in the GranSport trim, has new design front and rear bumpers (more on the lower part,s front and rear) which are inspired by the Levante GTS and Trofeo. For Malaysia, the Levante S version is specified with 21-inch Helios wheels and a High Glass Metal Weave interior trim.
The Levante S variant still features the 430hp 3-litre twin turbo V6 engine. This engine was designed by Maserati Powertrain in cooperation with Ferrari which also manufactures the engine for Maserati. The Levante S does 0 to 100 km/h in 5.2 seconds and has a top speed of 264 km/h. The all-wheel drive Maserati's transmission is a 8 speed ZF automatic.
The 2019MY Maserati Levante S Design and Equipment Summary:
GrandSport
sportiness with the restyling of the GranSport exterior. The elegant, sport-oriented restyling
is focused on the lower front fascia and the rear bumper. Alongside the sportier bumpers,
the GranSport exterior is also discernible for the front and rear Black Piano inserts, the
GranSport badges on the front fenders, the red brake calipers and the 21-inch Helios
wheels.
GranLusso Trim
While the exterior of the baseline V6 versions remains the same, the characteristic
features of the luxury-oriented GranLusso trim are elegant chrome inserts in the front
fascia, chrome front/rear skid plates, body colour rear spoiler, silver-painted brake calipers,
21-inch Helios alloy wheels and GranLusso badges on the fenders.
The GranLusso trim also offers the choice of full premium Italian leather, Pieno Fiore
natural leather or Ermenegildo Zegna silk upholstery. It includes standard 12-way power
comfort front seats with memory function, Bowers and Wilkins Surround Sound System
power-adjustable steering wheel and pedals, illuminated doorsills, parking sensors,
navigation system and Soft Close Doors system.
Transmission
The MY19 Levante S is fitted with a new gearshift lever for the eight-speed ZF automatic
gearbox used on all Levante versions. The redesigned component features an intuitive,
dual lane shift pattern providing shorter travel and improved functionality. The driver has
the option to use the gearbox in either automatic (RND) or manual mode (M) simply by
shifting the lever from right to left, while a new ‘P’ button on top sets the transmission in
parking mode.
With the new gearshift lever, the driving modes cluster on the center console is even more
user-friendly. The M button has been eliminated and the Off-Road mode button has taken
its place leaving space for two separate buttons – instead of one – for the selection of the
Sport driving mode and the Skyhook suspension sport setting. The selectable modes are
Off-Road, I.C.E. (Increased Control & Efficiency) and Sport.
The eight-speed ZF automatic gearbox ensures exceptional comfort, low fuel consumption
and reduced noise, vibration and harshness (NVH). By default, the car is set to Auto
Normal mode, which offers the right balance between ride comfort, reduced consumption
and sportiness, performing smooth gear changes at low engine speeds.
In Off-Road mode, when the driver selects a chosen speed the car continues at this pace,
even when climbing. This is extremely useful on a challenging climb, as the car will
effectively drive itself, with the driver only having to manage the steering wheel. In Auto
Off-Road mode the transmission recognises the different types of terrain, interacts with the
ESP and alters its shifting response accordingly. In I.C.E. mode, gearshifts are almost
unnoticeable, providing unrivalled driving comfort.
Levante S Interior & Other Equipment
The MY19 Levante S has a spacious cabin that blends innovative solutions, such as the
state-of-the art infotainment system that has been mildly tweaked with improved display
graphics and more user-friendly climate-control functions. The button that deactivates the
Start-Stop function can now be dragged and dropped on the main screen so you can
access it in every menu. The electric panorama sunroof with tilt and slide functionality
comes as standard for all MY19 Levante S variants offered in Malaysia.
There is a palette of eleven colours in the MY19 catalogue only for the V6 Levante
versions, with a brand-new tri-coat colour, the Blu Nobile with sparkling glass flakes
glimmering under the sunlight.
The matt grey-by-default calipers on the baseline Levante V6 versions are painted silver
on the GranLusso. The Levante GranSport is standard fitted with red painted calipers. A
wide range of colours with the Maserati logo is available as an option.
The recently introduced Nerissimo package, has also been updated for the MY19 Levante.
It is now available in eight specific body colours – seven of which are brand new –
combining black elements (front grille, skid plates, daylight openings and door mirrors) with
dark tail lights and exhaust tips. Details such as the grille upper bezel trim, the rear trunk
accent, the side air vents, the Trident on grille and all Maserati badges and logos are
finished in Black Chrome. The updated MY19 Nerissimo package has also adopted body-
colour door handles and lower moldings and new 21-inch wheels with dark finish.
