A petrol-powered Maserati Levante has joined the range alongside the diesel already on sale in the UK.

There was originally some doubt over whether or not Maserati GB would take up the option of the Ferrari-built twin-turbocharged V6, but the 3.0-litre unit is now officially a choice.

It delivers 424bhp and a rich, bombastic soundtrack along with potential for 164mph and 0-62mph in 5.2 seconds; not bad for a big SUV like the Levante.
