edmunds TESTED
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.

Senior Vehicle Test Editor
Kurt Niebuhr has worked in the automotive industry since 2005. A automotive photographer by trade, Kurt is now one of Edmunds' high-performance test drivers. He's driven and photographed hundreds, if not thousands, of vehicles all over the world, so Kurt's library of automotive experiences would certainly make for a good book. When not dreaming about getting his racing license or trying to buy out-of-date film for his cameras, Kurt can usually be found cursing at his 1966 Mustang.
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
Overview
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.
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.

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.
