The Maserati Levante is the firm's first ever SUV. It's good to drive, practical and has one of the most evocative badges in motoring stuck on its nose. The interior is as stunning as you'd expect, and a pair of engines will be available. We've tested the diesel here as it'll be the biggest seller in the UK.

What is the point to have a maserati if you get the diesel, you're not buying maserati for it's fuel economy, you buy it for the performance and italiano art

Rifqi Yudho I think meserati made this car because there company is not making enough money so they had to compete.

It's by no means bad but it doesnt feel special enough with some fca parts bin bits like the window controlls. I drove the 430hp petrol and its great and fun but it's not quite what i wanted it to be.. that said i think it looks great apart from the rear lights

Chrysler parts like on the buttons 3) Drive is "heavier" more "rough" compared to Cayenne Maybe next years model can correct some flaws. Dissapointment since Maserati released an SUV so late
