I'm Loving This Car

I just bought this car and it has met and surpassed my expectations. The interior upholstery is pristine and so is the exterior. The drive is very smooth and I can feel the power of the car when I step on the gas. I'm loving this car.

Solid investment with few misses.

We purchased a 2020 Levante Gransport at the end of 2020. Was extremely impressed with its aggressive body lines, handling and beautiful exhaust notes you wouldn't expect to hear from a V6. Negatives: you can see some of the FCA parts within the interior. Its a luxurious cabin for sure, however I would expect a step up with Maserati. There is no shortage of the famous trident logo inside and outside of vehicle and in a sea of BMWs, Audis, and Porsche models that are in this same category, the Maserati stands out. Plus its just cool as xxxx to say I own a Maserati. There is so much race and performance history with the brand. Maserati has done a really good job on their first step into SUVs.

The Italian sports car of SUV's

The Levante is a special car to own and wonderful to drive on a daily basis. It's everything you'd expect from an Italian sports car; beautiful curves, uncluttered interior with fine materials, and driving dynamics like no other. The ride is smooth and sorted in normal mode during normal driving. In sport mode the car literally transforms into a machine truly only the Italians could build. The column mounted paddle shifters, sports exhaust, sophisticated adaptive suspension and RWD bias AWD system with a mechanical rear differential puts the Levante in a league of its own. If you're looking for a luxury SUV that truly can leave a smile on your face on any back road, this is the one to have.

What a suv!!!

We have owed a Porsche Cayenne for the past 5 years ( great car) but wanted to try something different. We went with the Levante and oh what a great choice ! It is a beautiful car that we constantly have someone ask about it where ever we go and the performance is a step up in our mind and the sound of this car is incredible!! I highly recommend giving it a strong look.

levante is great

Our Levante is awesome. There are a few problems that we now have to go to Salt lake for. Dennis Dillon closed and will not honor the service contracts or warranties. Maserati used some cheap hardware in the interior. Our cup holder cover will not latch shut and our Hood has been out of alignment since we bought it. I would not by from Maserati again because of dealership issues and Maserati's lack of concern about dealership closures.

Superior comfort and performance

Absolutely the best vehicle I have owned and have driven in my life. Previously had an Acura MDX and a Mercedes GLS and I loved both, but the Levante is on another level. Very smooth, handles great, comfortable, and the performance is excellent.

Finest SUV on the market...

I have had the Levante for a little over a year. Before purchasing it I had a Porsche Cayenne. No comparison. The Levante has the sound of a Ferrari with the size and comfort of a top of the line SUV. No issues at all except the mileage usually shows I am getting 4 mpg. I just don't look at that anymore. I am figuring it's getting about 10-11 mpg...the interior is beautiful and everyone who sees it (I have only seen one other in the past year) would be very surprised by the price. One of the best cars I have ever owned. The Italians sure know how to design a gorgeous car.

Most expensive car I own with the worst performanc

This car fell short on performance. I own the base model with 3.0 turbo engine with 350hp which should be plenty enough. The throttle response is horrible, I feel reliability will be a problem in the future b/c since new had problems shifting gears, even when flooring it it doesn’t shitch gears fast enough or it’s stats dangerously in redline even after letting go of the throttle in normal mode. Currently have problems with head visor, wheel alignment, sometimes the infotainment screen gets frozen. Other than that the car is beautiful, gets lots of looks and the red Italian leather is beautiful.

Truly a high performance, yet functional SUV

If you like performance, luxury and comfort all in one this is the SUV / Car for you. Propbaly a bit overpriced but then again, you are paying for a brand too!
