近日,谍照记者在意大利首次拍到了2016款玛莎拉蒂Levante测试车。虽然原型车与最终量产版不会有相似之处，但可以看出这辆跨界车基于Ghibli，但进行了多项改进，包括提升行驶高度，加宽轮距，预计内部将采用全轮驱动系统。这辆车的车顶还增加了新的配重块以模拟跨界车新增加的重量。至于动力系统，预计将搭载一系列新引擎，这也是玛莎拉蒂此前宣布的五年规划的一部分。汽油引擎包括257千瓦/350马力和312千瓦/425马力V6和412千瓦/560马力V8引擎。柴油引擎包括184千瓦/250马力，202千瓦/275马力和250千瓦/340马力三种规格。Levante将于明年发布，随后将在意大利都灵米拉费欧丽（Mirafiori）工厂投产。

 

2016 Maserati Levante mule spied for the first time

A development mule for the 2016 Maserati Levante has been spied undergoing testing in Italy.

 

While the prototype bears no resemblance to the production model, we can see the crossover will be based on the Ghibli and feature a number of modifications including an increased ride height, a wider track and possibly a more focused all-wheel drive system. The prototype also features weights on the roof to simulate the additional mass of the crossover.

 

Under the hood, we can expect a variety of engines which were previously announced as part of Maserati's five year plan. Petrol choices will include a V6 with outputs of 350 PS (257 kW) and 425 PS (312 kW) as well as a V8 that develops more than 560 PS (412 kW). The model will also be offered with a diesel engine that has outputs of 250 PS (184 kW), 275 PS (202 kW) and 340 PS (250 kW).

 

The Levante will be introduced sometime next year and be built at the Mirafiori plant in Turin, Italy.
