Model guide
Maserati Levante overview
Editorial context for design, cabin, performance, practicality, and buyer notes.
Design
The exterior of the 2020 Levante retains its aggressive, athletic proportions, highlighted by the signature Maserati grille. The primary design change for this facelift is found at the rear, where new taillight clusters feature a distinct boomerang-shaped red LED daytime running light. Buyers can alter the SUV's appearance through different trim packages. The GranLusso and GranSport versions replace the standard black lower body cladding with body-colored panels and feature unique bumper designs and wheel options. The high-performance GTS and Trofeo models receive their own specialized exterior styling cues to reflect their increased capabilities.
Interior
Inside the Levante, Maserati blends traditional luxury with modern technology. The instrument cluster has been updated, removing the deep cowls over the analog gauges while retaining the central 7-inch digital display. The focal point of the dashboard is the 8.4-inch touchscreen, which now houses the improved Maserati Connect system with upgraded graphics and faster processing. The cabin offers extensive customization, including optional silk or woven leather upholstery created in collaboration with the Italian fashion house Ermenegildo Zegna. Authentic wood trims are available in various finishes, and buyers can opt for a panoramic roof or premium audio systems from Harman Kardon and Bowers & Wilkins.
Performance
The Levante offers a diverse engine lineup, all paired with an eight-speed ZF automatic transmission and an all-wheel-drive system that defaults to a rear-wheel bias. The range starts with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder mild-hybrid producing 330 horsepower. Traditional options include a twin-turbo V6 in 350-hp and 430-hp outputs, alongside diesel variants. At the top of the range sit the GTS and Trofeo models, powered by a 3.8-liter twin-turbo Ferrari V8 delivering 530 hp and 580 hp, respectively. Every Levante comes standard with an air suspension system and a mechanical rear differential lock to enhance handling.
Practicality
As a five-door SUV, the Levante balances performance with everyday usability. It features a spacious interior with seating for five and a wheelbase of over three meters, providing ample cabin room. The standard cargo area offers up to 580 liters of capacity, accommodating luggage or daily gear. Notably, the mild-hybrid version manages to house its 48-volt battery in the rear without significantly compromising the trunk space. Four-zone climate control and 12-way power-adjustable front seats enhance comfort for daily commuting or longer road trips.
Safety and tech
Technology upgrades are a key part of the 2020 facelift, primarily centered around the responsive Maserati Connect infotainment system which provides seamless smartphone integration. On the safety front, the Levante is available with Level 2 advanced driver assistance systems, offering semi-autonomous driving capabilities on highways. Other available tech features include matrix LED headlights for improved nighttime visibility and a 360-degree surround-view camera system to aid in parking and low-speed maneuvering.
Buyer notes
When cross-shopping the Levante trims, buyers should carefully consider their performance needs. The mild-hybrid model offers an entry point with modern efficiency, while the V6 models provide traditional Maserati character. The V8-powered GTS and Trofeo are significantly more aggressive and carry a distinct driving feel. Personalization is a major selling point, so buyers should explore the differences in the GranLusso (luxury-focused) and GranSport (sport-focused) packages. Note that specific engine availability and standard equipment can vary depending on the regional market.
