I have always coveted my girlfriend’s Maserati and answered “yes” to every offer she has ever made to drive us to an event. However, the breath-taking convertible wasn’t practical for my lifestyle of carting children to field hockey and dance with my two crazy puppies in tow. Now, I am thanking the all-knowing Maserati for coming out with the Levante—a Godsend for North Shore families. Exuding beauty, style, and practicality, the Levante has plenty of room for the kids, the dogs, and their gear. The first thing you notice when you open the door is a feast of excellence—the best materials are used throughout every square inch of this gorgeous auto. The exquisite detailing on the designer seats is by Ermenegildo Zegna who has partnered with Maserati—further enriching the Maserati experience. Just starting the car is cool-the ignition is on the left, making you feel like a racecar driver. Depending on your mood, you can drive in quiet mode, or channel your inner sportscar driver, a perspective that my husband prefers. I adode the car’s ease of use from the touch-screen control panel to its advanced safety measures. At times, it feels as if you have a co-pilot, making sure the parking break is on when you are on a steep incline, pointing out when you get too close to other cars—all perfect for the life of a busy mom with a million things on her mind. Last but not least, look fabulously stylish at school drop-off in the morning, even still wearing your pajamas (that can be our little secret!).
The Maserati Levante is available at Fields Maserati, 80 Greenbay Road in Winnetka, 888-426-6621, fieldsmaserati.com.
