Maserati Levante GT, Modena, Trofeo & More

Last updated August 4, 2026

Maserati Levante

The unnamed base Levante, GT, and GT Ultima are the entry branch, pairing a twin-turbo V6 with all-wheel drive, adjustable air suspension, and everyday luxury. GranLusso and GranSport add comfort- or sport-themed equipment, while Modena and Modena Ultima give that middle branch a stronger performance focus. The S, S GranLusso, S GranSport, GTS, and Modena S form the higher-performance branch, ranging from a stronger V6 to V8 power. Trofeo and the limited-production Trofeo V8 Ultima sit at the top with a 572-hp V8, launch control, carbon-fiber body pieces, and the richest cabin treatment.

Frequently asked questions

Why do Maserati Levante trim names vary so much?

Maserati changed the naming structure several times. Early cars used base and S, followed by GranLusso and GranSport themes. GTS and Trofeo brought V8 power, the later range used GT, Modena, Modena S and Trofeo, and the final lineup adopted Ultima names.

Is the entry-level Levante a stripped-down model?

No. Early base models and later GT versions still have a twin-turbo V6, all-wheel drive, adjustable air suspension, leather seating, a panoramic roof and an 8.4-inch touchscreen. Higher trims mainly add power, richer cabin equipment or sportier styling.

What does the S badge mean on a Maserati Levante?

On early Levantes, S identifies the stronger V6 rather than a complete luxury or sport package. S GranLusso and S GranSport combine that engine with different equipment themes. The later Modena S is different because it uses a 523-hp V8.

What is the difference between the Levante GranLusso and GranSport?

GranLusso is comfort-oriented, with ventilated front seats, a chrome grille and bright exterior details. GranSport uses bolstered sport seats, a black grille and more aggressive bumpers. Both use the same 345-hp V6 and add premium audio, adaptive LED lights and broader driver assistance over the base trim.

How do the Levante S GranLusso and S GranSport compare?

Both pair the stronger early-generation V6 with upgraded lighting, audio, cameras and driver assistance. S GranLusso emphasizes comfort with ventilated seats and bright trim. S GranSport emphasizes a sportier look and feel with bolstered seats, dark trim and reshaped bumpers.

What does the Levante Modena add over the GT?

In the later trim structure, Modena raises V6 output from 345 to 424 hp. It also adds larger front brakes, metal shift paddles and sport-shaped bodywork. GT keeps the same all-wheel drive and adjustable air suspension but has a more comfort-focused identity.

What is the difference between the Levante Modena and Modena S?

In the 2022–2023 lineup, Modena uses a 424-hp twin-turbo V6, while Modena S steps up to a 523-hp twin-turbo V8. Modena S also brings adaptive LED lighting, upgraded leather sport seats, premium audio and dark exterior details.

How is the Levante Trofeo different from the GTS?

GTS is the more comfort-focused V8 Levante, with a 550-hp engine and generous everyday luxury equipment. Trofeo is the more extreme performance version, adding greater output, launch control, carbon-fiber body pieces and a more aggressive identity. Exact Trofeo output varies by era.

What is the difference between GT Ultima and Modena Ultima?

GT Ultima uses a 345-hp V6 and has a comfort-focused look. Modena Ultima raises output to 424 hp and adds sport-styled bodywork and a rear spoiler. Both share all-wheel drive, adjustable air suspension, ventilated front seats, heated rear seats and 14-speaker audio.

How does the Trofeo V8 Ultima differ from the regular Trofeo?

Trofeo V8 Ultima is the limited-production final version of the Levante Trofeo. It retains the 572-hp V8, launch control, carbon-fiber body pieces and 17-speaker audio, while marking the end of Levante V8 production. Maserati limited it to 206 vehicles globally.

What does GT Ultima add over the earlier Levante GT?

GT Ultima gives the final-year entry model a richer cabin. Compared with the preceding GT, it adds ventilated sport front seats, heated rear seats, power rear side sunblinds, soft-close doors and a 14-speaker Harman Kardon audio system as standard equipment.

Which Levante trims have ventilated front seats?

For ventilated front seats, look first at comfort-focused GranLusso models, the V8 GTS, recent Trofeo versions and the final GT Ultima, Modena Ultima and Trofeo V8 Ultima. Equipment can vary by era, so verify the individual used vehicle.

Which Levante trim should I look for if comfort matters more than sporty styling?

GranLusso is the clearest comfort-focused choice among earlier V6 models, while GTS applies that idea to a V8. In the later lineup, GT and GT Ultima are the more comfort-oriented choices. GT Ultima has the richest standard cabin equipment of those entry versions.

Which V8 Levante trim should I pick?

Choose GTS for V8 performance with a stronger everyday-luxury emphasis. Modena S is the first V8 step in the 2022–2023 hierarchy. Trofeo is the performance-focused choice with launch control and carbon-fiber details, while Trofeo V8 Ultima is its limited final version.

Which Levante trim has the strongest factory audio system?

Recent Trofeo models and the Trofeo V8 Ultima have the highest-grade setup described here: a 17-speaker Bowers & Wilkins system. Many GranLusso, GranSport, GTS, Modena S and Ultima V6 models use a 14-speaker premium system instead.
