Overview

The 2017 Maserati Levante is a proud member of the midsize SUV segment, locking horns with cars like the Porsche Cayenne, the Land Rover Range Rover Sport, and Mercedes-Benz AMG GLE 43. Maserati offers 2 trims of the Levante in 2017, starting at a base price of $72,150 and going all the way up to a price of $83,000. Its 3.0L Twin-Turbocharged V6 engine and 8-Speed Automatic transmission give the SUV 345 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque. The Levante S with the same engine belts out 424 Horsepower. With that, it manages a 0-60 of 5.8 seconds and boasts a towing capacity of 6,000 pounds. Moving to fuel economy, the Maserati Levante manages to get a combined EPA rating of 16 MPG, which is just average for the class, with most of its rivals reaching similar numbers. It also has a ground clearance of 9.7 inches. 

Buying Advice
