The Maserati Levante (Tipo M161) is an executive crossover SUVproduced by Italian manufacturer Maserati at the Mirafiori factory in Turinfrom 2016.[4][5][6] The Levante went on sale in Europe in May 2016, and in North America in September 2016.[7] Production of the Levante ended in 2024, commemorated with the release of a top-spec 424BHP special edition.[8][9]

The Levante was named after a warm, easterly wind that blows in the western Mediterranean Sea, southern France, down to the Strait of Gibraltar.[10] The name of the wind, in turn, comes from the Latin word "levare", which means "to rise".[10] Its design is based on the Kubangconcept car[11] that debuted at the 2011 Frankfurt Auto Show.
