Maserati is preparing a compact crossover

Until recently, it was unthinkable that brands such as Porsche, Maserati, Ferrari or Lamborghini had anything other than sports coupes or convertibles in their offer. But times are changing and Maserati is already planning a second SUV or a more noble crossover…

The latter will typologically sit under the Levante model , which will attack the Porsche Cayenne in 2015. The novelty is supposed to be a " compact crossover " on the platform used by the Dodge Dart and also used by the next generation Lancia Delta .

The as-yet -unnamed model will arrive in 2016 , a year after the Masearti model range will be completely modernized. As we wrote earlier, the successor of the GranTurismio model and also the smaller sports model GranSport will arrive in 2015 . The Ghibli compact sedan , based on the Chrysler 300, will also make its debut next year.

I will end this whole report with one strange rumor. It is said quite loudly that Fiat wants to turn Maserati into a mainstream luxury brand , a competitor of Lexus , in order to make a profit. This would mean another bitter fate for one of the highly respected brands… Remember Lancia…
