2022 Maserati Levante Review

byKurt Niebuhr^{Vehicle Test Editor

Pros

Quick acceleration
Stable and lively handling
Not your typical German luxury SUV

Cons

Some downmarket buttons and switches
Short on cargo space

What's new

Trim levels renamed GT, Modena and Modena S; Trofeo still tops the range
Minor changes to standard and optional equipment
Part of the first Levante generation introduced for 2017

If you're starting to think luxury SUVs all look alike, you might be interested in the Maserati Levante. Introduced in 2017 and refreshed in 2021, the Maserati adds a welcome splash of distinctive Italian styling and engaging performance to the largely German-dominated segment. Available with three engines, all of them turbocharged, standard all-wheel drive and an adaptive suspension, the Levante is plenty capable of mixing it up with any of its contemporaries.

Cost to Drive^{Cost to drive estimates for the 2022 Maserati Levante GT 4dr SUV AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 8A) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $5.33 per gallon for premium unleaded in Virginia.}

Avg. Large SUV

As for that German competition, there's the immensely capable Porsche Cayenne Coupe, the well-rounded and versatile Mercedes-Benz GLE, and the stylish Audi Q8. Any one of these rivals can be had in tame or insane performance specifications and generally have a better handle on fit and finish and infotainment tech than the Maserati. Check out our Expert Rating below to see if the Maserati's charm and personality can overcome some of its shortcomings.

Edmunds Expert Rating

Our Verdict^{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.}

7.3 /10

The Levante is the first SUV from Italian carmaker Maserati. Named after a Mediterranean wind that's said to change from mild to gale-force in an instant, the Levante delivers strong power and sharp handling. It's a viable class competitor let down only by some obvious interior cost-cutting measures.

Rated for you by America’s best test team.

Performance

7.5/10

How does the Levante drive? The Levante, which is what we tested, 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. Its turbo V6 engine makes healthy power — 0-60 mph takes 5 seconds flat — 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.

Comfort

7.0/10

How comfortable is the Levante? The Levante's cabin masterfully 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 optional 21-inch wheels share some blame here. 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.

Build & price

Interior

7.5/10

How’s the interior? Getting in and out of the Levante is a breeze, especially when it's equipped with the adjustable air suspension, which can lower the body nearly 2 inches. 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, though the Maserati is missing features such as a surround-view camera. 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.

Fuel Economy

7.0/10

How’s the fuel economy? With an EPA estimate of 16 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

7.0/10

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

8.0/10

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?

We think the Modena offers enough performance and Italian flair without letting the price get too far out of control. To the Modena, we'd definitely add the Driver Assistance package for features including the surround-view camera system and adaptive cruise control. We'd also tack on a few stand-alone options like the Harmon Kardon audio system, adaptive LED headlights and upgraded leather upholstery.

Maserati Levante vs. the competition

2022 Maserati Levante

2022 Porsche Cayenne

Maserati Levante vs. Porsche Cayenne

Similar in concept, the Cayenne Coupe couldn't be more different from the Maserati in execution. The Porsche is almost somber by comparison but still delivers exciting performance in any one of its numerous specifications. As with any Porsche, there's a lot of opportunity for personalization, but many common features are optional and those options can get pretty expensive.

Compare Maserati Levante & Porsche Cayenne features

Maserati Levante vs. Audi SQ8

Packing a turbocharged V8 engine and surprisingly nimble handling, the SQ8 represents a bit of a bargain in the realm of performance SUVs, especially against the Levante. The SQ8 also offers a comfortable ride, but the infotainment system can be distracting to use and the cabin lacks a lot of places to store your personal items. The Maserati does hold a clear advantage when it comes to personalization.

Compare Maserati Levante & Audi SQ8 features

Maserati Levante vs. Land Rover Range Rover Sport

The Range Rover Sport combines more traditional, stately styling with solid straight-line performance and more athletic handling than you usually get from the storied British brand. There's still plenty of off-road ability up the Sport's sleeve too. Like the Maserati, the Range Rover is available with a variety of engines and offers a certain charm that you won't find elsewhere.

Should I lease or buy a 2022 Maserati Levante?

Is it better to lease or buy a car? Ask most people and they'll probably tell you that car buying is the way to go. And from a financial perspective, it's true, provided you're willing to make higher monthly payments, pay off the loan in full and keep the car for a few years. Leasing, on the other hand, can be a less expensive option on a month-to-month basis. It's also good if you're someone who likes to drive a new car every three years or so.
