2021 Maserati Levante Elite Edition returns in Australia

The limited-run Elite Edition variant of Maserati’s large SUV returns for 2021, bundling in added styling and equipment features.

• 

Maserati has reintroduced the 2021 Maserati Levante Elite Edition, bringing extra specifications and equipment to the large luxury SUV, after a similar promotion in 2020.

Based on the entry-level Levante model (known as the 350), the Levante Elite adds extra equipment, including metallic paint, aluminium paddle shifters, electrically-adjustable steering column, body-coloured sill mouldings and 21-inch ‘Anteo’ machined-face alloy wheels.

The Elite builds on the Levante 350’s standard 12-way power-adjustable heated front seats, electric tailgate, leather seat trim, dual-zone climate control, keyless entry, and front and rear parking sensors.

Only 40 units of the 2021 Levante Elite Edition will be offered in Australia, with a list price of $135,000 plus on-road costs, or an advertised $154,900 drive-away deal until the end of September 2021 – a premium of $8000 before on-road costs, or around $12,000 drive-away, over the Levante 350.

The Levante Elite shares its engine and drivetrain with the 350, with a 3.0-litre twin-turbo petrol V6 producing 257kW (or 350 horsepower) and 500Nm, an eight-speed automatic transmission, and on-demand all-wheel drive.

The 2021 Maserati Levante Elite Edition joins the range between the range-opening Levante, from $127,000, and the available luxury and sport-themed GranLusso and GranSport models  both from $146,990 – all before on-road costs.
