Here are the best stories published on the Drive website today:

Stellantis – an Amsterdam-based conglomerate comprising the 14 former FCA and PSA marques – has given its subsidiaries 10 years each to prove their viability, according to CEO Carlos Tavares. This is despite persistent rumours Chrysler, Lancia, Alfa Romeo and Vauxhall (among others) could be set for the chopping block as part of a wider plan to reduce operating costs and streamline marketing.

The 2022 Maserati Levante Hybrid has been unveiled, and will be a stepping-stone prior to an all-electric SUV being offered by the Italian sports luxury brand. The Levante uses the same mild-hybrid powertrain as the Ghibli Hybrid sedan, which the company says retains the performance of the 257kW/500Nm twin-turbo V6-powered Levante variant, only with more efficient fuel consumption and much-improved emissions.

Pricing and specifications for the 2021 Maserati Quattroporte have been revealed, with a spate of subtle styling and tech updates introduced for the new year. Up front, Maserati's flagship sedan picks up a new grille – this is finished in chrome on GranLusso vehicles or piano black on GranSport variants. At the rear end, the Quattroporte also incorporates the brand's new 'boomerang' tail-light cluster, which draws inspiration from the 3200 GT of the 1990s.

Maserati will electrify its entire line-up by 2025, according to the manufacturer’s chief executive officer Davide Grasso. Speaking at an online fashion event last week, Mr Grasso confirmed that within five years all models from the Italian manufacturer would be driven by hybrid or all-electric powertrains.
