Maserati Levante will be presented in January of 2016

According to the reports, a new crossover from Maserati will presented at the 2016 Auto Show in Detroit.

De Telegraaf, a Dutch publication, assures that the presentation of new Maserati Levante is scheduled for the Motor City which will be held at the very beginning of 2016. The Kubang Concept which can be seen on the photo was rolled out four years ago for previewing design of the new crossover which will have the same platform as the Ghibli and Quattroporte.

There will be two powertrains available in North America: a 3.8-litre twin-turbo eight-cylinder providing 530 hp and a 3.0-litre twin-turbo six-cylinder generating 410 hp. As to a diesel, it will appear in European markets. At the same time a plug-in hybrid offering will probably join the range after the launch. All the engines will be joined to four-wheel drive and an 8-speed automatic gearbox.

Production of the crossover will start in March, after its presentation in January of 2016. The automaker is pushing for growth with its innovated crossover. Its sales targets are set at 37,000 cars a year in three years. This is almost a half of Maserati’s annual sales.
