[Maserati Levante News]

...Albeit under the cover of black camouflage. Gone is the Ghibli mule with its odd roof mounted weight.

If you were expecting a Jeep, don't, the Levante still very much betrays its saloon roots, just look at the ground clearance. The roofline still remains somewhat mysterious as its sporting a strange cover that masks the true curve.

While aesthetics remain closely guarded we already know the full gamut of engines on tap. There will be two versions of a Twin Turbo V6 in 350 and 450 PS flavours. Next up is the Twin Turbo V8 from the QP making in the range of 550 PS. Lastly a diesel in 250, 275 and 340 PS states of tune. Eventually a PHEV will join the range sometime during 2018.

We should get all the details in the new year, with the Levante expected at Detroit and Geneva.

It seems to me that the shape is near identical to the concept. I expect that the differences will be pretty minor for the most part.

I like how it's looking but not all that surprised of how it looks since all you have to do is look at the Ghibli and understand how a Maserati SUV is to be shaped and the image you have in your head will come close.
