2021 Maserati Levante

The Levante is Maserati's luxury SUV, the brand's take on a family hauler with sporting intentions. It drives with a sporty feel that's rare in an SUV, with responsive steering and a firm but controlled ride. Inside, you get a handsome cabin with quality materials, and the cargo area is practical for a vehicle this size. Expect higher running costs than most luxury SUVs, with premium fuel and pricey maintenance. The base engine and standard air suspension distinguish the Levante from the more powerful GTS, while keeping the same Italian character and AWD grip. The Levante's optional Skyhook adaptive dampers sharpen the ride further, though the standard suspension already delivers a sporty, controlled feel.
