“When considering a Maserati, make sure you live close to a service facility that will work on the car. Be prepared for the car's drop in value. I know I will be in mine for a while. Basic maintenance is expensive. I love my car, but I always have to keep money set aside to deal with my car.”
2019 Maserati Levante: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for the 2019 Maserati Levante is the arrival of the GTS and Trofeo, which bring 550-hp and 590-hp twin-turbo V8 engines to the lineup. This is a major performance and equipment expansion, not a full redesign.
About the 2019 Maserati Levante
1st generation, third US model year; major powertrain and technology expansion
Maserati positioned the Levante as a five-passenger luxury SUV shaped by its grand-touring heritage. Its core appeal combines Italian exterior design, strong turbocharged engines, rear-biased AWD, adjustable air suspension, and a more driver-focused character than many comfort-first luxury SUVs. It targets shoppers who need SUV space and all-weather ability but still value steering response, engine sound, distinctive styling, and long-distance comfort.
The 2019 lineup ranges from the 345-hp V6 Levante and comfort-focused GranLusso to the sportier GranSport and stronger S versions. The GTS combines a 550-hp V8 with ventilated sport seats, adaptive air suspension and Harman Kardon audio. The 590-hp Trofeo goes further with launch control, carbon-fiber exterior details, Bowers & Wilkins audio and added driver-assistance features.

2019 Maserati Levante
(80 reviews)
“The Maserati Levante is a beautiful, powerful luxury SUV backed by an amazing brand with a rich history”
“This vehicle is an excellent fit for my body size/type (slim female) and is a whole lot of fun to drive. It has tons of giddy-up and handles very smoothly. I am not a big technology buff so I don't focus on high-tech, so I can't speak to the technical level of the infotainment system. It suits me fine.”
