Vocalise enthusiasts at Maserati will be disappointed. The upcoming Italian SUV will likely feature a 100% electric powertrain, devoid of an engine sound but with exhilarating performance.
The famous Trident brand Maserati, now a subsidiary of Stellantis Group, will undertake a profound transformation of its ranges, as well as its DNA in the coming years, notably with the ban on thermal engines by 2035. The electric transition is expected to occur earlier than planned, according to British magazine AutoCar.
Maserati CEO Davide Grasso has hinted at the importance of launching an all-electric Maserati Levante, which will benefit from synergies within Stellantis. “We are working at full speed on this project, and it truly excites me because we see the opportunity we have within a large group, making innovation one of our top priorities. I am very excited about how this project is starting to take shape,” stated the executive.
Performance worthy of a supercar?
Optimists foresee the arrival of the electric Maserati Levante around 2025, just a year after the highly anticipated electric Maserati Quattroporte, which will feature a new generation of high-density batteries and new electric motors announced as more efficient, yet more powerful. Rumors mention three electric motors, with the most powerful delivering up to 755 hp and 1,350 Nm of torque, while the Maserati Levante will be equipped with permanent all-wheel drive.
The Italian will be highly scrutinized, especially since high-end competitors won’t be standing still, starting with Lotus Eletre and Porsche electric Cayenne, not to mention the BMW iX and Mercedes-Benz EQS.
