As the automotive industry becomes flooded with luxury SUVs, Maserati is deciding to join the crowd. Photos of what we believe to be the 2017 Levante show it suffering through cold-weather testing in the Arctic Circle. Despite the rugged surroundings, reports indicate the Levante is being built on the same platform as the Quattroporte sedan, with a similar interior, and most likely available with 3-liter V6, 3-point-8 liter V8, and possible diesel engine options. Keep an eye out for this one at the Geneva show.
