MASERATI INTRODUCES 350HP PETROL ENGINE IN THE UK
FOR LEVANTE AND QUATTROPORTE
Maserati GB is pleased to announce that in addition to the
launch of the MY19 range, the luxury Levante SUV will now
benefit from the introduction of the 350hp V6 petrol engine to
its line-up. The engine will also now be available to order on
the Quattroporte flagship saloon and joins the 350hp already
available on the executive Ghibli saloon.
Underneath the bonnet the 3.0-litre 350hp engine, available to
order now, offers Maserati’s signature sound and exceptional
performance.
Offering the performance and comfort
customers would expect of a Maserati grand tourer, the
Levante, beyond its SUV practicality, reaches 0-62mph in just
6.0 seconds and has a top speed of 156 mph with a NEDC 2.0
combined consumption and CO2 emissions range of 23.5 –
24.4 mpg and 268 -270 respectively.
The 350hp Quattroporte retains its iconic Maserati sporting
characteristics and accelerates from 0-62mph in 5.5 seconds
and has a top speed of 167 mph with a NEDC 2.0 combined
consumption and CO2 emissions range of 25.2 mpg and 259
-260 respectively.
The MY19 Maserati range was revealed at the 25th Goodwood
Festival of Speed. The Levante range now showcases new
contents, such as the optional Adaptive Full LED Matrix
headlights and now standard Integrated Vehicle Control (IVC),
which is already available on the Ghibli and Quattroporte
saloons. Rather than simply correcting vehicle instability, the
proactive IVC system helps prevent it, providing enhanced
active safety, improved driving dynamics and an even more
exciting performance.

Exterior colour ranges have also been refreshed for the MY19
range, with a choice of ten colours for the Quattroporte and 11
for each of the Ghibli and Levante models. Two new tri-coat
colours are now available, developed to enhance the design of
each, Rosso Potente and Blu Nobile.
Mike Biscoe, General Manager, Maserati GB commented: “We
are pleased to be able to now offer the 350hp petrol engine on
the Maserati Levante, which in addition to the 430hp petrol
engine we introduced last year and the 275hp diesel we offered
at launch, provide a much greater choice to our UK customers.
The introduction of the more cost effective, entry level petrol
engine is as a result of the demand in the market and we expect
it to sell extremely well.”
The entry level Levante 350hp, will start at £61,425.00 OTR and
the Quattroporte 350hp will start from £78,120.00 OTR and
both can be further personalised with either the GranLusso or
GranSport trims as well as a wide range of optional equipment
including new colours, wheel designs, Pieno Fiore leather
interiors as well as the new Nerissimo package.
The Levante and Quattroporte 350hp are now available to
order with deliveries expected from September 2018, more
