Alfardan Sports Motors, the official importer of Maserati in Qatar, has announced the arrival of the first Maserati Levante in Doha for client test drives. The Levante offers unique on-road drivability for the streets of Doha to competitive capabilities for off-road adventures.
Following the first reveal at Geneva Motor Show in March, the Levante made its first official appearance in Qatar just weeks later with a static pilot car. In order to achieve the high quality standards and maintain its traditional “Made in Italy” credentials, Maserati strategically invested in a new production line at the historic Mirafiori plant in Turin. As production ramps up, the first cars are being delivered around the world.
“We have had a lot of interest and even orders since the first reveal of the Levante in Qatar, but now finally our customers will be able to test drive it,” commented Charly Dagher, general manager of Maserati Qatar at Alfardan Sports Motors.
“The Levante is a beautiful car, but only those who have experienced it on-road and off-road can really appreciate it. Maserati has found a way to achieve amazing functionality and off-road capability while maintaining the style and performance of a real Maserati, as we have come to love them,” he explained.
The Levante is available in two variants, the Levante and the Levante S, both featuring latest evolution of the Maserati 3-litre V6 engine with twin turbo. The top of the range Levante S with 430hp makes it to 100km/h in just 5.2 seconds and has a top speed of 264km/h. The 350hp Levante achieves the 0-100km/h sprint in 6 seconds and a 251km/h top speed. Both versions adopt an eight-speed automatic ZF gearbox with a choice of drive modes: “Normal”, I.C.E., “Sport” or “Off-road”.
The Levante features performance-oriented features, such as the extensive use of lightweight materials, ideal 50-50% weight distribution, the lowest centre of gravity and the best aerodynamic efficiency in its segment. On a par with this, the off-road equipment, including the standard air springs, electronically controlled Skyhook shock absorbers and the intelligent Q4 All-Wheel-Drive system, completes a product made to surprise avid travellers and adventure lovers as well.
The Levante also comes with a wide range of new options and content, including: Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go function, Forward Collision Warning and Brake Assist System, Lane Departure Warning, Surround View camera, a 8.4” Touch Screen display and a high level of customisation that includes two cutting-edge packages: Luxury and Sport.
Alfardan Sports Motors is among the leaders in the market of luxury cars. The Levante will be available starting September at the luxurious Maserati showroom located at The Pearl-Qatar.
