2020 Maserati Levante: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2020 Maserati Levante is a light carryover whose main change is expanded standard driver-assistance equipment on five trims. There was no redesign or mechanical update.
About the 2020 Maserati Levante
First generation (2017-2024 US), fourth US model year; a largely unchanged year before the 2021 styling and infotainment update.
Maserati positions the Levante as “the Maserati of SUVs”: a five-seat luxury SUV built around Italian grand-touring character rather than maximum cargo space. Its defining traits are strong twin-turbo engines, rear-biased AWD, adjustable air suspension, distinctive exhaust sound, and a low, coupe-like shape. It targets drivers who want everyday SUV seating and all-weather traction with more steering feel, engine character, and visual rarity than most German luxury SUVs.
The 2020 lineup ranges from the comfort-focused GranLusso and driver-focused GranSport to the stronger 424-hp S models. The 550-hp GTS blends V8 performance with long-distance comfort, while the 590-hp Trofeo adds launch control, specially tuned air suspension, carbon-fiber exterior pieces, and full-grain leather seats.
What changed, by category
Safety
Adaptive cruise control and lane-departure warning moved from optional to standard on the GTS, GranLusso, GranSport, S GranLusso, and S GranSport.
Styling and lighting
The base Levante and S gained standard bi-xenon headlights. LED headlights became standard on the GTS, GranLusso, S GranLusso, and S GranSport. Roof rails changed from standard to optional on the GranSport, S, and S GranSport.
Cabin equipment
A heated steering wheel became standard on the base Levante, S, GranSport, and S GranSport. The base trim gained a standard panoramic moonroof, while leather seats became standard on the S GranSport.
