History of the Maserati SUV

The name “Levante” is derived from the Mediterranean wind that can change from calm to gale in an instant. The world’s first Maserati SUV was unveiled in 2016 at the Geneva Auto Show, causing a stir among the automotive press. Its roots could be traced all the way back to the Maserati Kubang concept vehicle first released in 2011.
