Maserati Levante
The Levante was Maserati’s first SUV and its most popular product for a while, but that will change with the smaller Grecale now in the lineup. The turbocharged 3.0-litre V6 delivers either 345 horsepower or 424 horsepower depending on the model, while the outgoing turbocharged 3.8-litre V8 is rated at 543 horsepower or 572 horsepower. The ride is firm but handling definitely lives up to the Italian brand’s reputation. A fully electric variant is due for 2025.
