Alongside the world premiere of the V8 Levante GTS and the European debut of the Levante Trofeo, Maserati also revealed at Goodwood Festival of Speed the Model Year 19 ranges of its Levante, Ghibli and Quattroporte models featuring a minor upgrades and additional content.
Both Maserati sedans as well as the Levante SUV have adopted a redesigned gearshift lever featuring a more intuitive shift pattern, shorter travel and improved operation.
The driver now has the option to use it in automatic or manual mode simply by shifting the lever from right to left, while a new ‘P’ button sets the transmission in parking mode. With the new gearshift lever, the driving modes cluster on the center console of all three models is more user-friendly.
The Levante, Ghibli and Quattroporte share the same MTC+ infotainment system, which is based on a high resolution 8.4” multi-touch screen and a double rotary knob on the center console.
The human-machine interface has been further improved for the MY19 with updated display graphics and improved climate system ergonomics. The air flow distribution control, which is separated for driver and front passenger, has been revised and is now more customisable.
Inside all three models, Maserati adds full-grain Pieno Fiore leather which is standard in the new Levante Trofeo and available as an option in all Levante, Ghibli and Quattroporte versions in three colours with specific stitching on the seats and double stitching on the door panels.
Alongside the new leather option there are two new high-gloss interior veneers for the Ghibli and Quattroporte sedans and three new veneers for the Levante.
Each model has a dedicated colour range and for the MY19 there is a choice of ten body colours for the Quattroporte and eleven for each of the Ghibli and Levante models. Two new tri-coat colours are now available: Rosso Potente and the deep dark Blu Nobile.
The Maserati Design Centre has also created a specific grille and side skirts for the Quattroporte GTS GranSport version.
There are five new ally wheel designs in the MY19 catalogue in 20 and 21-inch sizes, two for each of the Levante and Quattroporte models and one for the Ghibli. In addition, there is a new 22-inch Orione forged aluminium wheel – the largest ever fitted in a Maserati – for the new top-of-the-line Levante GTS and Trofeo.
The MY19 Levante range headlined by the launch of the new 550hp GTS, which sits under the previously introduced 590hp Trofeo. Alongside this additional V8 model, the full Levante range has some new content for the MY19.
The MY19 Levante GranSport trim adopts the styling tweaks introduced in the new V8 versions. Focused on the lower front bumper and the rear bumper, the restyling seeks to provide sportier, more dynamic looks in comparison to the baseline and GranLusso trims.
In addition, Adaptive Full LED Matrix headlights are available as an option for the first time in the Levante range.
The new GTS and Trofeo versions have also introduced to the Levante range the Maserati Integrated Vehicle Control (IVC), which was previously available only on the Ghibli and Quattroporte sedans. Rather than simply correcting vehicle instability, the IVC system helps prevent it, providing enhanced active safety, improved driving dynamics and an even more exciting performance.
