Maserati showcases the 2018 Levante in a new commercial, introducing the car as “The Maserati of SUVs”.

“You want a Maserati but you need an SUV. Why not have both?” – the voiceover asks in the 30-second spot, that features the all-new Levante speeding down a road, on one hand, and images of people enjoying nature with friends and family. Two women are seen walking through a forest, a kid is seen blowing out the white puffball of seeds of a dandelion near the car, while his parents are getting closer, a man’s hand is seen shooting a flamed arrow into the air, a woman standing near the car has her hair blown by the wind, and an owl is flying.

Described as “a wind that blows across the Mediterranean and can change from tranquil calm to gale force in an instant”, the 2018 Levante SUV is offered in two models, Levante and Levante S, that are available with optional GranLusso and GranSport trims, “comprehensively equipped according to your personal wishes” – according to the manufacturer. Each trim option offers new advanced driving assistance features, including an innovative new power steering system, and a choice of two powerful V6 engines built in Maranello. Other features include Q4 intelligent all-wheel-drive technology, mechanical Limited-Slip Differential (LSD) at the rear axle, that optimizes traction in all driving situations, seats hand-stitched and finished in sumptuous leather, door panels, roof lining and sun visor covered with Zegna silk jersey, a 7-inch TFT display that presents essential driving data, 8.4-inch Touch Control Plus display, and Harman Kardon Premium Sound system.
