The brand new Maserati SUV got its debut at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show and the company has now released official pics and a video of its first foray into the SUV segment. The Maserati Kubang will become Italy’s competitor to the Porsche Cayenne, Audi Q7, BMW X5 and Mercedes M-Class.
The jury is very much out at the moment as to whether the Kubang will be successfully able to do that but it seems the car market could be ready for a new luxury SUV like the Cayenne, that doesn’t traditionally form part of the line-up. Still Maserati will have to do the Kubang well if it’s to compete in this class.
The Kubang is the result of a long SUV development project for Maserati but which perhaps only really became possible with the Fiat-Chrysler deal. No real future details on its production are available at the moment, but we can check out new Kubang official pics and this video presentation live from Frankfurt.
