Maserati’s First-Ever SUV The Maserati Levante, launched in 2016, was Maserati’s first SUV, marking the brand’s entry into the luxury SUV segment.
Named After a Mediterranean Wind The name Levante comes from a warm Mediterranean wind, reflecting the SUV’s blend of power and elegance.
Twin-Turbo Ferrari-Built V6 and V8 Engines The Levante is available with Ferrari-built twin-turbocharged V6 and V8 engines, with power outputs ranging from 345 hp to 580 hp in the Levante Trofeo.
All-Wheel Drive as Standard Unlike some luxury SUVs, all Levante models come with Maserati’s Q4 all-wheel-drive system, offering dynamic torque distribution for better handling.
Adjustable Air Suspension for Off-Roading The Levante features an advanced air suspension system with six height settings, allowing it to raise or lower depending on road conditions.
Available with a Diesel Engine in Some Markets Maserati also offered a 3.0L V6 diesel engine for select markets, producing 275 hp and 600 Nm (443 lb-ft) of torque, catering to fuel-conscious buyers.
Maserati’s Signature Sporty Exhaust Note Even as an SUV, the Levante maintains Maserati’s signature exhaust note, thanks to an active sound system that enhances the deep, aggressive V6 and V8 growl.
Luxurious Italian Interior with Handcrafted Materials The Levante’s interior features premium materials, including hand-stitched leather, silk inserts by Ermenegildo Zegna, and real wood or carbon fiber trim.
High-Performance Levante Trofeo Variant The Levante Trofeo is the most powerful version, featuring a 3.8L twin-turbo V8 (580 hp), 0-100 km/h in just 3.9 seconds, and a top speed of 302 km/h (188 mph).
Competitor to High-End SUVs Like the Porsche Cayenne With its sporty handling, luxurious features, and Ferrari-built powertrains, the Levante competes with SUVs like the Porsche Cayenne, BMW X5 M, and Lamborghini Urus.

The Levante is Maserati’s first SUV. A Ferrari-infused, Italian luxury cruiser with a sonorously tuned V6/V8. While depreciation hit hard, low-mileage Trofeo and GTS models are now stabilizing as future QPV-style sleepers.
