Who is the Maserati Levante for?
The Maserati Levante is a good fit for families, business owners and anyone who regularly drives outside the city, where the extra ground clearance handles potholes, speed ramps and untarred roads. Higher ground clearance makes Accra's flooded streets in the rainy season and the rough feeder roads outside the regional capitals much easier to manage.
Fuel economy and running costs
Expect higher fuel use than a sedan. Petrol versions suit city driving, while diesel or hybrid versions save money on long journeys such as Accra to Kumasi or Tamale.
Insurance, roadworthy renewal and routine servicing are the other regular costs. Budget for an oil change roughly every 5,000 to 10,000 km, depending on the oil grade and driving conditions.
Parts, servicing and resale
Parts are limited in Ghana and usually ordered from abroad, so expect waiting times.
Servicing should be done by a specialist familiar with the brand.
These are enthusiast cars with a small resale market in Ghana, so buy for passion rather than investment.
Importing a Maserati Levante to Ghana
If you cannot find the right Maserati Levante locally, you can import one. Factor in the purchase price, shipping to Tema port, import duty and levies charged by the Ghana Revenue Authority, clearing fees and DVLA registration. Vehicles over ten years old attract extra penalties, so newer cars are often better value once they land.
Carboqs can handle the import for you, from sourcing the car abroad to clearing it at Tema.
