[[File:Maserati Levante S (02).jpg|left|thumb|Rear view]] By 2018, a 560 horsepower [[Ferrari F154 engine|V8]] was planned to be added.<ref name=":0" /> Subsequently, two V8 models were announced in 2018: the 590 horsepower Trofeo, followed by the 550 horsepower GTS. The Levante gains an eight speed ZF automatic transmission from the sixth generation [[Maserati Quattroporte]].
The vehicle's drivetrain is [[four-wheel-drive]] only, and like other Maserati models (Quattroporte and Ghibli in both rear and all wheel drive), comes standard with a rear [[limited-slip differential]]. The Levante also features Maserati Touch Control with a full color {{convert|8.1|in|mm|sing=on}} [[Thin-film transistor|TFT]] [[touchscreen]] display, as well as a reconfigurable [[Thin-film transistor|TFT]] [[gauge cluster]] with full color.
