According to the Dutch media, the Maserati Levante will debut next year in Detroit.

Maserati is panning on selling about 37,000 Levantes a year by 2018. That means that the SUV is expected to account for almost half of all Maserati sales.

Production will begin in March of 2016 in Italy. The SUV will arrive in showrooms the next summer as a 2017MY vehicle. The price is expected to range from €90,000 for a base model with a turbodiesel V6 engine to €200,000 for a fully loaded model with a V8 engine.

While we`re almost half way through 2015, Jan 2016 when the Detroit show takes place isn`t all that far away.

These will be some exciting times.

Hopefully the production model doesn`t look too far off from the concept.

The U.S. publication Automotive News is also reporting a Detroit debut.

Maserati plans annual production of 25,000 units of the Levante at its Miafiori plant in Italy. Reports say the Levante will start at about 90,000 euros ($101,000), with the top model costing close to 200,000 euros.

25,000 units! Seems a bit high for such an exclusive car.
