2021 Maserati Levante Review

- Quick acceleration
- Stable and lively handling
- Not your typical German luxury SUV
- Some downmarket buttons and switches
- Short on cargo space
- Updated driver display and infotainment screens
- Part of the first Levante generation introduced for 2017
The Maserati Levante, the company's midsize luxury SUV, debuted for the 2017 model year. It has remained relatively unchanged since then, offering distinctive styling and the choice of a turbocharged V6 or a mighty turbocharged V8. It's a relatively rare and distinctive sight on the road, too, which could be a draw if you're tired of more conservatively styled German SUVs.
For 2021, Maserati has revised the infotainment system with better graphics and sharpened up the look of the gauge cluster. Small improvements are always welcome, but the Levante faces off against a deep pool of rivals such as the Audi Q8, Mercedes-Benz GLE and Porsche Cayenne. Can the Maserati still hold its own? Read the categories of our Levante Expert Rating below to help you decide on which luxury SUV is best for you.
Performance
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
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
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
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
Installing a child safety seat can be problematic because of the tight rear seat, low roof and hidden safety-seat anchor points.

Maserati Levante vs. the competition

2021 Maserati Levante

2021 Audi Q8
Maserati Levante vs. Audi Q8
The Audi Q8 is a fastback-style SUV that doesn't sacrifice as much practicality as you might expect. There's plenty of room for passengers, and cargo space is decent. Some models feel downright opulent, and others are extremely sporty. The larger problems are limited visibility and a hate-it-or-love-it touchscreen. The Levante is more fun to drive too.
Maserati Levante vs. Land Rover Range Rover Sport
Believe it or not, the Levante has decent off-road prowess. But the Range Rover Sport has it beat on account of its Land Rover roots, and its stately design may appeal more to luxury SUV traditionalists. There are also a number of powertrains on tap, including a plug-in hybrid with EV range.
Maserati Levante vs. Porsche Cayenne
The Cayenne remains the best tightrope-walker among luxury performance SUVs. All models are a thrill to drive, even with the base engine, and the interior feels premium from all angles. The Levante is more rare, but the Cayenne wins out with its wider range of models and available features.

Should I lease or buy a 2021 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.
