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 an ambitious luxury SUV that combines Italian styling with Ferrari-sourced engines. Based on the Ghibli saloon platform, it features a striking front end with the iconic Maserati Trident badge. However, the bold exterior belies significant compromises in practicality and comfort. The cabin, whilst superficially impressive with collaborations from luxury Italian brands Ermenegildo Zegna, Giorgetti, and De Castelli, suffers from inconsistent material quality and an infotainment system that lacks the refinement expected at this price point. The 580-litre boot is comparatively tight, and rear passengers face cramped conditions despite the vehicle's generous overall size.

Powered by turbocharged V6 and V8 petrol engines derived from Ferrari, the Levante delivers impressive performance but at a significant cost. Even the least thirsty model achieves only 21.4mpg, whilst the range-topping 3.8-litre twin-turbo V8 Trofeo manages just 17.7mpg in combined testing. The chassis, whilst equipped with Skyhook air suspension, never settles comfortably between sporting and luxurious dynamics, and the ride can be uncomfortable. Running costs are substantial across fuel, insurance, maintenance, and consumables. Maserati's fixed-price maintenance programmes offer some reassurance, but this remains an expensive proposition. As a first-generation luxury SUV, the Levante is outclassed by more established rivals in comfort, interior quality, space, and user-friendliness.

Best for: Buyers seeking exclusivity and rarity over practicality, those who appreciate Ferrari-derived engines, and collectors wanting a distinctive alternative to mainstream premium SUVs.

Not ideal for: Families needing spacious interiors, those prioritising comfort and refinement, budget-conscious buyers, or anyone concerned with fuel economy and running costs.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Levante if: You value exclusivity and rarity, appreciate Ferrari-derived engines, and prioritise distinctive styling over practicality and refinement.

Consider alternatives if: You need spacious interiors, prioritise comfort and interior quality, are budget-conscious, or require reasonable fuel economy and running costs.

Competitive Position: The Maserati Levante is an admirable first effort in the luxury SUV segment, but it is outclassed by more established rivals in nearly every practical measure. Whilst the BMW X5 offers superior comfort, space, and technology, the Range Rover Sport delivers better practicality and refinement, and the Porsche Cayenne provides sharper dynamics, the Levante's Ferrari-sourced engines and exclusive Italian styling offer genuine appeal to those seeking something different. However, ruinous running costs, an uncomfortable ride, cramped interior, and inconsistent material quality make it a challenging proposition against more polished competitors. It remains a daringly different choice for those willing to prioritise rarity and performance over everyday usability.
