HAVING missed its sales targets for years, Maserati hoped to reverse the trend by introducing a full-sized SUV. This was launched five years ago, and while there’s lots to like about the Levante, it hasn’t been the sales success that Maserati hoped for.
Don’t let that put you off, though; while the Levante doesn’t lead the class in any particular area, it can make an appealing and intriguing alternative to the more obvious contenders in its segment.
History
For those who didn’t need quite so much performance (165mph and 0-62mph in 5.2 seconds), a 345bhp 3.0-litre petrol engine joined the range in July 2018. Anybody wanting even more
