Maserati Levante
Mid-Size CrossoverProduct Gallery
Product Overview
Maserati Levante is a large high-performance crossover in production from 2016. It is available with a range of inline-4, V6, and V8 engines that displaced 2.0 to 3.8 liters.
Remarkably, the V8 petrol engines (F154) are also used in a wide range of Ferraris, even though the Maserati versions are less powerful. The V6 petrol engines (F160) are based on the F154 V8 and found in many Quadrifoglio models.
Those who drive offroad, for work or leisure, need to think twice before pulling the trigger: the Maserati Levante is hardly the "offroader" that Maserati would like you to think.
Drivers who appreciate handling will be pleased to know that the Maserati Levante comes with double-wishbone at the front and multi-link at the rear. This is a bit unusual for AWD and less tunable than a multi-link front setup, but what you lose in performance you gain in durability.

Reviewer score 59% (normalized by Neofiliac)Maserati views itself as a maker of grand tourers rather than sports cars. The Levante has been designed as an SUV in this style, capable of both refined, luxurious comfort and fast, sporting performance. The 2019 updates, minor as they are, add a further level of refinement to the Levante package.
Pros
- GranSport and GranLusso trims are more fun to drive
- Improved infotainment
Cons
- Lacklustre performance
- Not as refined as rivals

Reviewer score 52% (normalized by Neofiliac)The Maserati Levante is a good first attempt from the Italian luxury car maker. It has all of the upmarket appeal that the company's saloons and sports cars have, while pricing is competitive within the luxury SUV sector. Its chassis impresses and comfort is reasonable, although it's not quite a class-leader in either regard. Quality issues inside also mean it can't compete with its German rivals, but it does offer good practicality.
Pros
- Fastest V8-engined SUV
- Decent infotainment system
Cons
- Mediocre interior quality
- Poor switchgear buttons

Reviewer score 62% (normalized by Neofiliac)Maserati Levante Trofeo and GTS get a healthy dose of steroids. High-end materials and craftsmanship are here, but the cutting-edge infotainment and premium design are not. While the front of the Levante is sharp and aggressive, the rear has the same issue as the interior; it looks in need of some sharper strokes.
Pros
- Powerful V8
- Excellent infotainment
- Excellent handling
Cons
- Not the most fun to drive
- Interior is dated

Reviewer score 60% (normalized by Neofiliac)Despite its bulk, the Levante has sold in greater numbers than any other Maserati since its introduction in 2016. Range Rover Sport and Porsche Cayenne Coupe both come with style, luxury and powerful engines. The Levante is great for a couple of adults in the front and the driver gets loads of electric seat and wheel adjustment, but knee room in the back is nothing more than average.
Pros
- Powerful V8 engine
- Comfortable to drive
Cons
- Lack of interior space
- Poor infotainment

Reviewer score 76% (normalized by Neofiliac)The 2019 Maserati Levante starts at $76,980 for the base, all-wheel-drive model. Another 10 grand gets you 80 extra ponies, stepping up to the $87,980, 424-hp Levante S. The Levante's cabin features some FCA parts bin bits, but higher quality materials and bespoke details keep it feeling luxurious.
Pros
- Gorgeous interior
- Comfortable ride
- Fantastic infotainment system
Cons
- Expensive for what you get
topgear[6]
Reviewer score 55% (normalized by Neofiliac)The Levante feels well made from quality materials. It's a good size – provided you're not viewing it as a potential rival to an Audi Q7 or Land Rover Discovery. The Levante isn't cheap but even the flagship Levante S at £72,525 doesn't look too toppy when a 440bhp Cayenne S is £68,330.
Pros
- Stylish looks
- Comfortable to drive
- Decent fuel economy
Cons
- Not as efficient as a Cayenne
