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) represents Maserati's foray into the luxury SUV market, aiming to boost sales with its distinctive Italian styling and powerful Ferrari-derived engine options. While it boasts a bold front design, the interior suffers from inconsistent material quality, and practicality lags behind rivals with a cramped cabin and a relatively small 580-litre boot for its class. The driving experience is often described as busy and unresolved, struggling to balance sporting ambition with luxury comfort.

Running costs are exceptionally high, with V6 and V8 petrol engines delivering poor fuel economy, sometimes as low as 17.7mpg (or even 11.6mpg WLTP worst-case) and high CO2 emissions. Despite unique styling partnerships with Italian luxury brands, the Levante generally falls short of more polished competitors in areas like ride comfort, dynamic refinement, interior quality, and infotainment usability. It serves as a niche choice for buyers prioritising exclusivity and engine character over mainstream SUV attributes.

Best for: Drivers seeking a rare and exclusive alternative to more obvious premium SUVs, those who appreciate wonderful-sounding petrol engines, and buyers prioritising unique Italian styling over outright practicality or running costs.

Not ideal for: Buyers prioritising comfort, driving dynamics, interior quality, infotainment usability, passenger or luggage space, or those concerned about very high running costs.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Maserati Levante if: You're seeking a rare, exclusive, and visually distinctive alternative to more common premium SUVs, appreciate powerful and characterful Ferrari-sourced engines, and are less concerned with running costs or outright practicality.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise comfort, refined driving dynamics, consistent interior quality, modern infotainment, ample passenger and luggage space, or value lower running costs.

Competitive Position: The Maserati Levante (2017-2024) stands out for its unique Italian flair, bold styling, and powerful, sonorous engines. However, it struggles to compete with more established rivals like the BMW X5, Porsche Cayenne, and Range Rover Sport in crucial areas such as ride comfort, driving refinement, interior quality consistency, and practicality. While it offers exclusivity, its high running costs and less resolved driving experience make it a niche choice for buyers who strongly value its distinct character.
