Maserati buyers in the UK can treat themselves to something a little more exclusive in 2021, thanks to the introduction of new Sportivo and Sportivo X special edition variants for the Ghibli and Levante SUV. While both trims offer a host of additional features, it is the Sportivo X that should be the most desirable. Customers can choose between three exterior paint options in Nero Ribelle, Grigio Maratea, and Blu Emozione. The specs are also exclusive to Maserati’s most desirable cars for the UK, namely the 350 PS Levante V6 and the recently introduced 330 PS Ghibli Hybrid.
In Sportivo Special Edition trim, the
Ghibli Hybrid comes with the carmaker’s Nerissimo styling pack, gloss black
20-inch Urano alloys, extended leather interior upholstery, aluminum
paddle-shifters, 12-way power and heated front sports seats, black piano high-gloss
wood trim, and a rearview camera. Opt instead for the Sportivo X variant and
you’ll also enjoy the Skyhook active damping suspension, the Driver Assistance
Pack Plus, full-LED adaptive Matrix headlights, and 21-inch gloss black Titano
alloy wheels.
Inside, the Ghibli Sportivo X adds ventilated
and heated front seats, heated leather sports steering wheel, red contrast
stitching, wireless charging, soft close doors, and brushed stainless steel
pedals. Standard features include the 20-inch Efesto dark Myron alloys with red
calipers, a panoramic sunroof, a black leather interior with black stitching,
aluminum paddle shifters, and 12-way power and heated front sports seats with
driver seat memory.
Meanwhile, the Levante V6 Sportivo X adds
the Nerissimo pack (gloss black front grille bars, dark exhaust tips, black
front and rear fascias, gloss-black spoiler, and a gloss black rear diffuser),
full-LED adaptive Matrix headlights, and 21-inch Anteo dark alloys with red
calipers.
As for the interior, you get red contrast
stitching, heated and ventilated front sports seats, heated sport steering
wheel, soft-close system for the doors, and brushed stainless steel sports
pedals. Last but not least, the Easy Access Pack (kick sensor tailgate, keyless
entry) and the Driver Assistance Pack Plus, which offers adaptive cruise
control, blind-spot assist, surround-view camera, traffic sign assist, active
driver-assist and pedestrian recognition.
While pricing for these exact
specifications has yet to be disclosed, the 2021 Maserati Ghibli Hybrid starts
from £ 58,220 (US$ 79,281) in the UK, with the Levante costing you upwards of
£ 64,635 (US$ 88,000). In the United States, pricing starts at US$ 74,390 for an
entry-level Ghibli and US$ 77,890 for the Levante.
