Vehicle model
Maserati Levante
The Levante (type M161) is Maserati's first sport utility vehicle, launched in 2016 and built at the Mirafiori plant in Turin until the end of its production in 2024. This mid-size to large luxury SUV targeted buyers wanting Maserati image and character along with the versatility, ground clearance, and all-wheel drive of an SUV, suited in particular to winter conditions. It was offered with V6 gasoline and diesel engines depending on the market, as well as a powerful twin-turbo V8 in the Trofeo version. In terms of tires and wheels, the Levante commonly wears 18- to 21-inch sizes, with some editions reaching 22 inches, fitted with low-profile performance tires. In Quebec, dedicated winter tires are mandatory and strongly recommended on winter wheels to protect the original wheels.

Les Maserati modernes chaussent généralement de grandes jantes : on retrouve couramment du 18 à 21 pouces sur les berlines (Ghibli, Quattroporte) et les VUS (Levante), certaines éditions spéciales atteignant 21 ou 22 pouces. Ces véhicules utilisent souvent des pneus de performance à profil bas, fréquemment montés en dimensions différentes à l'avant et à l'arrière (montes asymétriques). Au Québec, des pneus d'hiver dédiés sont indispensables et obligatoires; il est souvent judicieux de prévoir un second jeu de jantes d'hiver d'un diamètre plus modeste pour réduire les coûts et améliorer la traction. Vérifiez toujours dimension exacte, indices de charge et de vitesse et entraxe propres au modèle.
