This will be accompanied by other lesser power unit options among them being the 3.0 liter twin-turbo V6 in the new Ghibli, a diesel variant of the same and probably the new V8 diesel from Fiat. <\/p>\n<p>This report comes from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.carsuk.net\/maserati-levante-suv-525bhp-made-in-italy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CarsUK<\/a> who also say that the Levante may make debut at the Geneva Motor Show 2014. The Levante will be made in Italy as opposed to earlier speculation stating the US due to the latest move by Alfa Romeo of regaining a market share in the US. Despite sourcing its platform from the new Jeep Grand Cherokee, the Levante will be built in Italy also because the demand for the Grand Cherokee in the US is high. <\/p>\r\n<div
