The Maserati Levante is the flagship SUV in the Italian luxury brand’s stable. It’s a unique and performance-oriented alternative to the more mainstream (and more affordable) offerings in midsize luxury SUVs like the Mercedes-Benz GLE and BMW X5. Its closest rival is the Porsche Cayenne, which has a lower starting price.
The Levante has four distinct trims, primarily differentiated by the powertrain. Let’s take a closer look at the Maserati Levante model range and find the right luxury SUV for you.
2023 Maserati Levante GT: $90,700
The Maserati Levante GT is well-equipped for a base trim, which helps to justify its price tag. It’s powered by a Ferrari-derived turbocharged V6 producing 345 horsepower. The Q4 all-wheel-drive (AWD) system and the Skyhook adaptive air suspension system are standard.
Standard features include 20-inch wheels, Sport and Off-Road drive modes, a limited-slip differential, dual-pane sunroof, hands-free power liftgate, leather upholstery, heated front seats, memory driver’s seat, heated steering wheel, dual-zone automatic climate control, universal garage door opener, remote start, and an analog clock.
The standard infotainment system is a user-friendly 8.4-inch screen with Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and navigation. Driver assistance tech features that come standard on the Levante GT include front and rear parking sensors, blind-spot monitoring, traffic sign recognition, Active Driving Assist, and a surround-view camera.
An optional Comfort & Convenience Package ($1,290) adds heated rear seats, heated windshield washer nozzles, soft-close doors, power lumbar front seats, and power-adjustable pedals.
Individual options include a Harman Kardon audio system ($1,100), a Bowers & Wilkins audio system ($2,500), fine-grain perforated leather ($3,500), power rear sunshades ($500), and adaptive full-LED Matrix headlights ($1,450).
When you factor in the $1,495 destination fee, the starting price of the Levante comes to $92,195. That gives the Levante a monthly payment starting at about $1,666 if you get one with a 60-month loan at 3% interest. See 2023 Maserati Levante GT models for sale near you

Turbocharged V6 — This potent V6 produces 345 hp making it one of the more powerful base engines in this class.

2023 Maserati Levante Modena: $101,400
The Modena trim gets a performance upgrade with a more sport-tuned version of the standard V6 engine. It turns up the heat with 424 hp and achieves a 0-60 mph time of 5.0 seconds.
The Levante Modena also has a sportier appearance with more aggressive front and rear fasciae and staggered wheels (they’re wider in the rear). Additional standard features over the base trim include paddle shifters and sport front seats.
The Comfort & Convenience Package remains available, but you can also get the Sportivo Package ($3,390) and the Nerissimo Package ($1,600). The Sportivo Package adds more aggressively bolstered sport front seats with 12-way power, an Alcantara headliner, power-adjustable pedals, adaptive full-LED Matrix headlights, and sport pedals in brushed stainless steel. The Nerissimo Package, primarily an appearance package, has 20-inch Efesto Dark Myron wheels, quad exhaust tips with a black finish, and more black exterior trim.
It has some of the same individual options as the GT trim, like the two premium audio systems plus 4-zone climate control ($1,100), illuminated door sills ($300), and Pieno Fiore natural leather ($5,500).
Assuming a 60-month loan at 3% interest and zero down, the Levante Modena starts at about $1,849 a month. See 2023 Maserati Levante Modena models for sale near you

2023 Maserati Levante Modena S: $127,600
The Levante Modena S is the entry point into the V8-powered Levante. It pumps out 523 hp and drops the 0-60 mph time to a pavement-blistering 4.0 seconds.
The appearance of the Modena S is pretty similar to the Modena, but with upgraded brakes, more black trim, smoked taillights, and different wheels.

The Trofeo trim sits at the top of the Levante model range. A more aggressively tuned V8 under the hood makes 572 hp and flies from 0 to 60 mph in 3.8 seconds. The Levante Trofeo has performance on par with the Porsche Cayenne Turbo and BMW X5 M.
On top of the engine upgrade, standard features include an appearance package with carbon-fiber accents, dual head extractors on the hood, 21-inch staggered wheels, a Corsa drive mode, the contents of the Comfort & Convenience Package, Pieno Fiore leather, carbon-fiber interior trim, an Alcantara headliner, and a Bowers & Wilkins 17-speaker audio system.
