Maserati Levante (2017-2024) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
A rare and exclusive alternative to more obvious premium SUVs	Uncomfortable ride
Wonderful-sounding petrol engines	Cramped for an SUV of this size
Slick-shifting automatic gearbox	Ruinously expensive to run

Quick Summary

The Maserati Levante (2017-2024) is the Italian brand's first SUV, designed to bring exclusivity and flair to a competitive market. Based on the Ghibli saloon, it has a striking presence thanks to its bold grille, but the interior fails to consistently deliver on the premium promise. While some cabin finishes are impressive, they highlight the lower-quality plastics used elsewhere. Despite its large exterior dimensions, the cabin feels cramped, and its 580-litre boot is smaller than those of key rivals, compromising its practicality.

Driving the Levante is a mixed experience. Its Ferrari-derived V6 and V8 petrol engines provide thrilling performance and an incredible soundtrack, but the chassis feels unresolved, never quite settling as either a comfortable cruiser or a sharp-handling sports SUV. The infotainment system and switchgear also lack the polish of competitors. Ultimately, the Levante is a car bought with the heart; its appeal lies in its rarity and engine note, but this comes with the significant drawbacks of a firm ride and terrifyingly high running costs.

Best for: Buyers who prioritise exclusivity, Italian styling, and the sound of a Ferrari-built engine above all else.

Not ideal for: Drivers who need practicality, a comfortable ride, modern infotainment, or manageable running costs.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Levante if: You value exclusivity and the sound of a Ferrari-built engine, and are willing to overlook its flaws for a unique SUV.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise a comfortable ride, interior space and quality, modern technology, or sensible running costs.

Competitive Position: The Maserati Levante is a distinctive but flawed player in the premium SUV segment. It tempts with its badge prestige and powerful engines but is comprehensively outclassed by rivals like the Porsche Cayenne and BMW X5 in areas such as comfort, practicality, technology, and build quality. It remains a rare choice for those who want to stand out, but it comes with significant compromises and ruinously high running costs.
