Positive Review
I was in the market for an SUV and narrowed it down to the Porsche Cayenne and the Maserati Levante. I previously owned a Porsche for 18 years and loved it. Going back and forth between the two dealerships, test driving, pricing, at the time made it a really tough decision. I decided on the Levante and I could not be more THRILLED with my choice. The styling is so beautiful, both interior and exterior are stunning. People wave at me from the sidewalk with the thumbs up. The interior is so lush (I got the brown interior and it is gorgeous!). And the engine, designed by Ferrari, sounds like a Ferrari. Every time I start the car it makes me smile. The ride of the Levante is every bit as good as the Cayenne, and I think the handling is even better. I drove the base model Cayenne and bought the base model Levante. They are only 10 horsepower apart, and yet to me, the Levante has FAR better acceleration. I just was not impressed with the acceleration of the base model Cayenne. But when I put the pedal to the floor on the test drive of the Levante, it was almost scary. It screams. I even invited the Porsche salesman to give me a good reason why I shouldn't buy the Maserati. He couldn't. I know after 2,000 miles and having the car for two months now, I would have been really disappointed if I had "settled" for the Porsche. I've owned BMW, Porsche, Mercedes Benz, and this is the most thrilling, beautiful, and spectacular car I've ever owned in over 40 years of car ownership.

I should have known better at 64 years old I should have known that I can be fooled went to a dealership and I traded my BMW X3 with 35,000 miles on it 2017 and thought I was going to get a BMW X4 but that they did a bait and switch and put me into a Maserati 2017 with 64,000 miles and once you sign for it you bought it and seem like I can't get no

Bought pre-owned low miles, 29K, now 55K running still running great no issues. Like all high performance cars, tires needs changing more often than my honda accord.
Unique style and feel
Maybe cargo? But cargo should not be a factor in b
It's not just another SUV on the road. This is Italian style and performance that you just can't read about, you have to experience the drive, comfort, power, smell of leather, growl of the tail pipes,...I could go on but you get the idea. Black on black is especially sharp.
Had several luxury SUVs and the Levante is not only a head turner, it is fun to drive! I own the 2020 Levante Gransport version.
After 5 years still handles like. Dream Still Running great!, everything works Still a beautiful car to drive. Not your usual suv, but a rare beauty.
Fun to drive definitely has get up
Consumes premium gas about 18 miles to gal around
I bought a full bumper to bumper extended warranty through 104,000. Miles or 3.5 more years on it whichever comes first. And just bought 4 brand new tires and alinement last week. Runs perfectly.
fast excelleration
sooo noisy
I am currently leasing this car and will soon buy it. It is an incredible car and I highly resommend it
Looks, engine, suspension, sound, everything
Tech is dated
I had a 2016 Ghibli S which treated me very well, but after having a few kids, my wife and I made the ill-advised decision to switch to a Volvo XC90 for the past 3 years. Well, mistake corrected. The Levante somehow manages to look and drive better than the Ghibli, while also being a supremely comfortable family car. Although you would never guess it from the outside, our childrens' car seats fit more comfortably in the Levante than they did the XC90. But, look, most of you are probably not shopping the Levante for its car seat space. And the good news is that it doesn't fail to punch above its weight anywhere else, either. I owned a 911 Turbo for 8 years and as mentioned above, a Ghibli for another 3. In one week of Levante ownership, I've already received more compliments and wide-eyed stares and thumbs up than I did in all my years with a 911 turbo and Ghibli combined. It is hard to overstate how visually stunning this car is in person (can I highly recommend the Grigio Maratea paint? Well, I'll do that whether or not I can). People's jaws just drop when they see it, and I live in Silicon Valley, where Ferraris and McLarens are not uncommon sights. I'm not suggesting that strangers will be running up to take photos with your car ... but I wouldn't completely rule it out either. And then let's talk about how it drives. Wow. Depending on which model you choose, it may not win a drag race, but you will definitely have a bigger smile than the other driver. I imagine that driving the Levante is about as close to riding a Kentucky Derby horse as one can get in a vehicle with four wheels and doors. I've only had it a week, so I'm not going to claim to know it's idiosyncrasies inside and out. But the Ghibli was the easiest car to own I've ever had - more so than even a pair of Lexuses - and I expect the Levante to be better than most in terms of its reliability and ease of ownership. The one downside: the tech is a few years behind its peers. No way around that. But who cares, you're buying this car to drive it, not for it to drive itself or to have the biggest video screen. The technology that is there works and is easy to use but you won't wow a Tesla fan or anything with it. You'll just have to be satisfied with having a much better looking, better built, and more enjoyable car for that.
