Maserati has announced that it intends to release the Levante SUV late in 2015.

The levante, which was previewed by the Kubang concept, is based on the Ghibli, and will have an all-wheel-drive system.

Power will apparently be provided by a 3.0-litre  twin-turbo V6  that produces a healthy 306 kW of power. There’s also a 3.8-litre V8 twin-turbo  that creates a whopping 395 kW, and a three-litre diesel that will generate a more sedate 202 kW.

Although the vehicle will go on sale in some parts of the world late in 2015, it will apparently take some time for a right-hand-drive model to become available – sometime fairly early in 2016.

It never felt like it was working hard, and after 2 400 kilometres, neither did I.
