Saying you own a 2024 Maserati Levante Modena Ultima should be intriguing for all who hear it (if very long-winded), which is certainly part of this luxury SUV's appeal. It's an OK choice if you mostly desire to zig when all others zag. For everyone else, this aging, about-to-be-discontinued luxury SUV is outdone in terms of performance, comfort, space, technology and value by basically everything else in its price range.Read full review

By the time you read this, Maserati will have already built its last 2024 Levante. The Italian brand has cut the cord on its midsize SUV after one generation, and to say goodbye, it replaced the existing Levante lineup with a pair of Ultima trim levels. While this high-dollar luxury SUV never really wowed us and didn't get better with age, it's certainly rare, and if there was ever going to be a collectible one, it's these 2024 Ultima versions, especially the Trofeo V8.

Edmunds spotlight: Ultima not to be confused with a Nissan
"Ultima" means "last" in Italian, so the available GT Ultima, Modena Ultima and Trofeo V8 Ultima trim levels represent the last of their Levante kind. The primary difference between them is under the hood. The GT Ultima has a 345-hp 3.0-liter turbocharged V6, while the Modena Ultima has a 424-hp version of the same engine. The Trofeo V8 has a V8, but not just any V8: It's a 3.8-liter Ferrari-built V8 that's been upped to 572 hp for its swan song — in this case, "Ultima" also represents Maserati's farewell to V8 engines. All get special Ultima badging and wheels, a limited color palette and special interior trim. The Modena also gets bigger wheels and a choice of brake caliper color.
Competitors to consider
Given its size, performance and price tag, the Porsche Cayenne is the best place to start. It may not have the same exotic ring to it, but its exceptional build quality, compelling driving manners, and huge lineup of performance choices make it a must-drive. The Audi S8 is another less-than-sexy choice, but it's hard to argue against its performance or luxury credentials. If we were to make a suggestion based on the assumption you want something a little different, why not a Jaguar F-Pace SVR? It looks exquisite and has a thumping V8 for power.

Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.The Edmunds Vehicle Testing Team evaluates a fresh batch of vehicles every week, pairing objective assessments at our test track with real-world driving on city streets, freeways and winding roads. The data we gather results in our Expert Ratings. They’re based on 30-plus scores that cover every aspect of the automotive experience.
Performance
7.5/10
How does the Levante drive? The Levante puts a definitive emphasis on "sport," landing somewhere between pure luxury SUV models and the fire-breathing beasts from the BMW M and Mercedes-Benz AMG factories. The Modena's turbo V6 engine makes healthy power — 0-60 mph takes 5 seconds flat with the 424-hp version — and sounds wonderful doing it, but the engine is a little slow to respond when driving in Normal mode.
The steering feels direct and precise, with the right amount of effort depending on speed. The Levante is quite fun on tight, twisty roads with its grippy tires, low body roll and torque-vectoring electronics, allowing it to make unnaturally sharp turns. But it wiggles and dances a bit through sweeping curves that aren't perfectly smooth, diminishing driving confidence.

But it wiggles and dances a bit through sweeping curves that aren't perfectly smooth, diminishing driving confidence.
Comfort
7/10
How comfortable is the Levante? The Levante's cabin keeps bad noise out and lets good noise in, but we weren't impressed by this SUV's ride quality. Even on its softest suspension setting, the Levante gets upset by small, sharp bumps. The front seats are firm and comfortable, although smaller drivers might find them a bit too wide and without enough lateral support.
The climate control system keeps air temps in check, and the redundant functions found in both the touchscreen and the buttons below it are a nice touch. But the leather seats can get a little swampy without the ventilation option.

Interior
7.5/10
How’s the interior? Getting in and out of the Levante is a breeze. The wide-opening doors offer generous entry into the cabin, even into the rear seat. Once inside, there's comfortable space in nearly every seat. There's even enough room for three adults in the back, but keep your tallest friends out of the middle seat.
The driver can position the seat for maximum road visibility or for a low, sporty feel. Overall visibility is decent, with an unobstructed front view. But the rear window is slightly smaller than those in most SUVs, and the thick rear pillars compromise some of the rearward view.

Technology
7.5/10
How’s the tech? The Levante is starting to show its age, especially when it comes to the infotainment system and controls. Compared to systems in other SUVs at this price point, the interface looks and feels behind the times. It's reasonably well laid out and responsive, but some of the climate settings are buried in submenus. That can be frustrating, especially if you like using Apple CarPlay or Android Auto smartphone integration. It also doesn't have as robust a features list as the competition from Germany.
The driver aids work well. Still, the adaptive cruise control is simple to use and operates smoothly, holding a tight gap between cars and maintaining a constant speed downhill.

Storage
6.5/10
How’s the storage? The Levante comes up short on storage. Overall cargo space, at 20.5 cubic feet behind the second-row seats, is near the bottom of the class. The seats do fold, but they don't fold flat, and the sharp roofline and rear window make fitting taller items a bit of an issue. There's a good amount of space for smaller items thanks to a deep center console and a bit in front of the shifter. There are also four cupholders up front, which is unusual for a luxury SUV.
Installing a child safety seat can be problematic because of the tight rear seat, low roof and hidden safety-seat anchor points.
Installing a child safety seat can be problematic because of the tight rear seat, low roof and hidden safety-seat anchor points.
Fuel Economy
7/10
How’s the fuel economy? With EPA estimates of 16-18 mpg combined, the Levante is thirstier than comparable sport-focused SUVs. Other six-cylinder-powered luxury SUVs typically have EPA estimates in the low 20s. But our test Levante surprised us by getting 19.3 mpg on our evaluation route, indicating the vehicle might do better in real-world driving.
Value
7/10
Is the Levante a good value? The Levante draws you in with its exotic Italian pedigree, and its competitive price may win you over. Our test car's near $100K price aligns nicely with most of the class, but its interior materials and build quality feel inferior to the rest. It's the most glaring example of cost-cutting in an otherwise compelling luxury SUV. The Levante's warranty is comparable to coverage provided by rivals.
Wildcard
8/10
The Levante might not be the most comfortable cruiser, but it's hard to ignore the fun you can have with it on a twisty road. Some may find the Levante's styling uniquely aggressive and attractive, while others may think it resembles an Infiniti too much. Either way, Maserati has succeed in creating something that is distinctly different in character.
Which Levante does Edmunds recommend?
Go with the Modena Ultima. It has more power than the GT and it'll be marginally more collectible, assuming that's part of the Ultima's appeal in the first place. It was also available with some options not available on the GT. The big 21-inch wheels give us pause, however, as they degrade the ride quality compared to the GT Ultima's 20-inch wheels.

Exotic SUV?
4 out of 5 starsDanno1, 02/17/2018
2018 Maserati Levante S 4dr SUV AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 8A)
I have had my Levante for one month. My last car (Jaguar XFR) is a great comparison for someone who needs an SUV but wants the performance of a sports car. The answer is yes and no. It's not a sports car, BUT, you get the thrill of one. Firstly, the reviews you read are usually about the base Levante. Which is crap. The S is a real Maserati though.You shouldn't buy this car if all you … care about is cargo space, tech, finish etc...etc... You only buy this SUV if you want a thrilling ride because you care about the engine. I've never owned a maserati before, but I can tell you the following: This car is more thrilling than a 510hp Jag. It's all in the exhaust and Ferrari engine combination. Somehow it works better than the Ghibli and the Quattroporte (I test drove both) because it's an SUV. So.... Positives... after about three hours you learn how the car performs, and using the best in class (by far) paddles, and/or the sports mode, you learn that this car is a real Massa, and a cousin of Ferrari. This is where this car begins and ends. I test drove the Macan GTS (amazing) and the Cayenne S (fine) and they were both great, with better finish to interior* and tighter handling, and at around the same price. But here's the thing, neither had any personality whatsoever compared to the Levante S. The handling was tight and controlled but boring. I'm no race driver, but I understand my cars, and the Levante S is an exotic amongst SUVs because of the engine, handling and exhuast note. You'll need to pay a LOT more on insurance for a Levante because it really is an exotic. The negatives on this car are that every reviewer has mentioned that it shares buttons with jeep etc. but I've never known anyone who shops for this car who's even sat in a Jeep. Anyway I can tell you that the tech. is fine (compared to a 2016 mercedes e400 cabrio that my wife drives) and the interior looks more luxurious than any porsche, but to touch, porsche wins. Here's the thing, if you want a luxury suv but don't care about performance, than forget this car. If you want performance AND luxury, the only cars better than this are the Porsche Cayenne Turbo and/or maybe cayenne GTS. The thing is, they just don't have the exotic feel of this car. This is a drivers car, not a driver's, partner's car. 3000 revs and the exhaust expoldes like a Ferarri engine should, and it will blow you away. Now another downside. Maserati after sales are [non-permissible content removed]. Another one, it's insurance group is the same as Ferrari, Lambo, Aston etc. even for a V6 production SUV so be warned. It's worth it, but be warned, you're not buying a Lexus. Oh and it drinks gas like CRAZY.

Buyers be ware 2018 Maserati Levante
If you are thinking of buying or leasing a Maserati read this first
This is a 4 month review, I wanted to drive the car for a while before giving my opinion of the car and of my experiences to fellow car enthusiast who might be in the market for a sports SUV.
The buying experience was as good and easy as expected from a dealership of this caliper. … Helpful sales staff, water espresso, the works.
The Levante: The car started falling apart the first week of ownership. Plastic windshield molding literally came out and started flapping about the first time I got on a freeway. On top of that the USB port didn’t work at all. Being disappointed I took the car back to the dealership and the sales person drove with me to service and told me that all will be taken care of. The service dept. gave me a loaner and I didn’t hear from them for 4 days. Finally I called. They told me they were waiting for parts for the stereo system. It had to be completely replaced because of a short in the USB port. When I picked up the car one of my rims and tire was damaged. It had a 3 inch gash. Of course service manager said that it wasn’t them, but agreed to fix the rim only not willing to change a brand new but damaged tire. 3 days later molding popped out again and I was right back again.
I have since made 6 more trips to service department for various noise/parts reasons. Service manager refuses to fix factory defective brakes. Brakes make a lot of grinding/squealing noise when braking. Service department is not what you would expect at a Ferrari. Its 10x10 ft room with a kitchen, sofa, tv and a coffee machine and it doubles for employee break room. Also Ferrari service doesn’t have any loaners. One of the times I was there I had to rent from Enterprise and now they broke it off with rental companies and it has became impossible to get a loaner. Service manager tells you to expect a call when loaner will become available and weeks go by without a phone call. Ferrari service center in long island gets 1 star at best.
Cons:
1. Noisy/squeaky brakes (factory defect)
2. 1 second delayed acceleration (better in sport mode)
3. Transmission gear shifter constantly gets stock and is very hard to get into the right driving mode. Pops into Reverse instead of Park or N instead of drive.
4. Infotainment screen auto dimming and brightness adjustment for day/night doesn’t work
5. Standard speakers produce very plain and empty sound especially at low-mid volume, not very loud at full volume.
6. For the exterior size of the car the interior accommodations are very tight and trunk is smaller than most sedans.
7. Very poor communication and customer service Long island Ferrari/ Maserati Service center
8. Eats a lot of gas, even in eco-mode (ICE MODE) 350 miles per 20 gallon tank
Pros:
1. Air suspension provides a better ride quality on New York roads.
2. Infotainment system is lag free well thought out. Easy to use while driving.
My advice is stay away from Maserati cars and especially from NY Long island branch.
Excellent Driving Machine

2018 Maserati Levante 4dr SUV AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 8A)
I own the base model 2018 Levante and am very pleased with it. It all depends on what your priorities are. It is a great looking SUV, unlike anything else on the road. It stands out.
It handles better than other SUV's out there and the Ferrari designed base twin turbo engine is plenty for me.
The inside materials are just fine, the look is like no other SUV, so I am very pleased with … the Levante.
Good work Maserati.
Nice engine, poor overall engineering

2018 Maserati Levante 4dr SUV AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 8A)
On my test drive before purchasing my Lavante I was impressed with the pick up and driving characteristics. I like the variable height and suspension technology.
However, the transmission is clunky, brake pads and rotors need to be replaced every 10,000 miles. I’ve had a problem with the plastic trim pieces (and fake chrome) falling off while driving and going through the car wash. … Overall I think there are better choices for a performance SUV.
We have a limited number of reviews for the 2024 Maserati Levante, so we've included reviews for other years of the Levante since its last redesign.
