Maserati is redefining the luxury SUV with the unveiling of the Kubang at the Frankfurt Motor Show. For too long, the SUV segment has lacked the uplifting driving dynamics and opulent atmosphere found in elite sports cars. The Kubang changes that, fusing Maserati’s legendary DNA—sportiness, elegance, and craftsmanship—into a bold new silhouette.
This isn’t just a new model; it’s a vision of the future. The Kubang’s striking design is the work of Lorenzo Ramaciotti and the Maserati Style Center, ensuring it is instantly recognizable as a true Italian masterpiece.
Under the hood, the Kubang delivers raw power via a 4.7-liter V8 producing 450 bhp. This powerhouse was engineered by Paolo Martinelli, the former engine chief of Ferrari’s F1 team, and is produced in the hallowed grounds of Maranello. Paired with a precision-tuned 8-speed automatic transmission and a chassis developed entirely in Modena, the Kubang promises the agility of a coupe with the presence of an SUV. Developed in Italy and built in Detroit, the Kubang is Maserati’s definitive answer to the modern luxury market.
With 450 bhp and a Ferrari-built engine, the Kubang is a powerhouse. How do you think it stacks up against other luxury performance SUVs in its class?
