Maserati Levante

The Levante is a midsize luxury crossover SUV with seating for five. It's the only sport-ute in the Maserati lineup and shares a platform and some components with the Italian automaker’s premium midsize sports sedan, the Ghibli.

Maserati offers the Levante in a variety of trims and packages based primarily on the included engine. At the lower end of the range are the base model and the performance-themed S. Both utilize a turbo 3.0-liter V6 engine, which produces 345 horsepower in base trim and 434 hp in the S. Either can be paired with the GranLusso package for added luxury or the GranSport package for a more athletic look. In 2019, the GTS and Trofeo trims joined the lineup, upping the performance ante by fitting a Ferrari-derived twin-turbo 3.8-liter V8 under the hood. In the GTS, it produces 550 hp, and in the range-topping Trofeo, it generates a whopping 590 ponies. For 2022, Maserati switched things up a bit by dropping the GranLusso and GranSport packages and renaming the Levante’s trims. The base became the GT, the S became the Modena, and the GTS became the Modena S; meanwhile, the Trofeo remained unchanged.

When it comes to features, the Levante is handsomely equipped. An 8.4-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration has long been standard, as has leather upholstery and an adaptive air suspension. A panoramic sunroof, blind-spot warning, and front and rear parking sensors became standard for 2018 and were previously optional. Other notable options include adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assist.
