Levante GTS all day long! This is what luxury all about! Tech doesn’t mean luxurious, means modern and modern isn’t a synonym of luxury... That V8 sound is a blast, for me a no brainer! Thanks Alex, great review !!!
I leased 2017 Levante and after 18K miles it is a still amazing SUV. I owned several X5, ML, BMW550, A8, my second vehicle Macan S and Levante is so luxurious and ride quality is superb
Ordered a 2020 to become my daily ride alternate with my current Cayenne
This is how a car review video and driving video should look like!! Some car reviewers are so about themselves that 80% of their video just shows their face.
Just today I bought the Maserati Levante S 2018 for 105,000$ fully loaded option , white color exterior and black interior with red stiches, carbon fiber all around. I just love it , by so far your review is the most factual objective rational and positive feedback about the car among all other reviews on the web which I found (some) to be biased, lame and hateful. I’m proud of my decision more than ever before and YES, I would do it again. Moreover, if I had the budget for the V8 one I would also definitely would have bought it. I clicked the subscribe button. Thanks a lot and keep on the great work!
It has been four months, how's it been? Any issues, especially relating to air suspension?
I hope you enjoy the way to repair factory in following years. It is plastic all around with carbon fibre on top, just to correct

Then enjoy your car and stfu.
I’m impressed with how much they listened and fixed the problems during the refresh
That shifter was scary like the Jeep’s
The maserati is the best looking suv on sale today
I liked the video before it even started! Best car reviewer!
Exceptional depth in your reviews, this was amazing! I love Maserati as a luxury brand and I am really interested in the Levante as my next SUV.
Great review! Finally someone found Porsche Cayenne is not as good as it looks.
Put the cargo cover on the floor of the cargo area and your luggage on top of it.
Thank you for another great video Alex!!
Super review.
Alex I love your detail work in every video. You are so thorough. It is impressive . Quick question: What other BMW models were you talking about that lets you skip gears while using paddle shifters? I'm very eager to learn.
The X3 M40i does
i like to know about the auto start stop systems which reviewers never seem to mention
Since the Jeep Grand Cherokee is still based on Mercedes and is due for a redesign, do you think the future GCs will be down market Levante's with some off-road tweaks?
Durango SRT would be better buy but I would consider the Levante base V6. Have you driven a Quattroporte?
When will it be in dealers?
Does it have a.. RTX trim?
Review the Maserati Quattroporte Sq4.
1:13 I've written a few letters to my representative regarding FMVSS 108 to hopefully get these laws changed. I'll keep writing until I get what I want...
How come you don't show the turn indicators anymore?
Striking car and white colour here doesn't do it justice, it looks beautiful in dark grey or dark blue. Something different from the German clones.
Stunning looking. It is bigger than the Stelvio, would probably choose the Alfa.
While the MSRP almost looks reasonable, the cost to maintain vehicles like these must be soul-crushing.
ktpinnacle 😂
not if you take the first free oil change at the dealership, do the rest yourself and dump it off after the lease term.
Not always, they’re far less finicky vehicles to own than the Maserati models of years past. They will be about the same to maintain as any comparable Porsche or higher performance Audi, Mercedes, or BMW.
Absolutely love the shape & look of the exterior. I really wish that someone would copy that to a more affordable SUV.
Thx Alex for the quick overview... 😎👍
Randwulf its a ballooned CX5
I think it looks good, and the concept of a Ferrari engine in an SUV is awesome....
Everything else about it though isn't worth the price. The Stelvio Quadrifoglio destroys everything under $200k in the performance SUV segment pretty much. Only when you get into the tier of the Lamborghini Urus, or Bentley Bentayga do you start getting better than that.
The Maserati name will be worth shit in a couple years if they don't step their game up.
Overall, it's very "meh". This GTS adds the spice needed to draw in some more buyers though. I must say, I've wanted to own one of these FCA Maserati's since they came back onto the scene. This GTS trim offering might finally push me to go and drive one!
Thanks for pointing that out on the uconnect os. It is excellent. The only thing I don't like is the heated/cooled seats being integrated. Of course they auto activate but only for the driver. There's absolutely NOTHING wrong with Maserati using it. Alfa should take a hint. The fact that the map graphics don't look like tv is a silly argument. It does what is supposed top do. I reluctantly traded my 300C for a Q50S and giving up uconnect was hardest part. Luckily the Intouch system is pretty good as well.
This is a driver’s car
Grand Cherokee with a Ferrari engine?
Surely the Tesla model X is the fastest SUV uptp 60mph?
This Levante is a beautiful SUV. I'm kinda surprised that Maserati and other makes do not use an Audi MMI type system, which is a full generation better than any of the competitor's. As a happy Lexus owner, I have the same complaint about the nav system in my newer RX. Not a deal breaker, just a point of reference. Alex, I'd be splitting hairs with a preference to either the GLE, this Levante or even the Q5 or Q7 if I didn't already truly enjoy my RX350.
Sitting "on" the seat instead of "in" the seat seems to be a Fiat thing that invades all of their products. Haven't you mentioned that the Dodge/Chrysler vehicles suffer from that as well?
From profile, looks like an Infiniti
Looks better then the original, but that isn't saying much.
Grand Cherokee Trackhawk. Much more bang for the buck. No Italian nonsense and it just plain goes.
Vincent Chen Knock it off. Lol. That’s great if you want to tow a boat, but please.
For the type of people who collecct gucci bags with their husbands money.
Mgoblagulkablong jealous, bitter, or both?
No one but the type of people who collecct gucci bags with their husbands money would be jealous over a car. You must be one of them since my comment obviously triggered you. Pathetic. If you get jealous over status symbols and buy them only because you think it makes other people jealous you need to get professional help.
Cant agree more.
Do you collect Gucci bags with your wife's money?
My wife buys her own Gucci bags with her own money and loves her maserati...what do you drive? Lol
If you say Maserati by Fiat Chrysler three times, a random body part will fall off and catch fire. Also Grand Cherokee failed small overlap, so maybe not the platform to adopt.
I seen a lot of these in Miami
definitely next year model GLE will smoke this one.
Beautiful exterior but too expensive
A car with a sports car heritage and a Ferrari engine that can't quite match the sporting opposition is a bit disappointing. And it seems to have *designed in* it's own limitations with rear leg room and boot space. Design is beautiful. Hmmmm . . . .
i'm not going to buy the car because the key is too heavy... really?!
I'm disappointed you do a review of a Lavante and not once show the uniqueness of the exhaust.
2018 RR sport SVR!
Ferrari v8 power!!!
It’s nice but I’d worry a LOT about long term reliability and durability. Also the value just isn’t there. To me, Maserati doesn’t evoke the same feelings of greatness and luxury as Mercedes or BMW or Porsche, at least after I saw the ghibli and quattroporte
Was all ready to order one until I heard about the weight of the key. For $120K I'd at least expect a titanium key fob :)
LOL!
Still Maserati reliability
whiteandnerdytuba I’ve owned 4 Masers. 1 used and 3 new and have never had an issue except the Bluetooth on one of them. Loved them all. You can get a used one at a very reasonable price and dealers are now all over so maintenance isn’t bad.
Interior is luxurious...for 2008.
For 2018 its worth studying the interior and tech of the Audi, Lincoln, Land Rover etc.
Hugh Jassol I don’t know, It felt pretty different from those behind the wheel of one....almost not comparable cause the amount of leather feels and smells Italian
Not comparable to my friend’s new incredibly beautiful interior S6 with carbon fiber pack or any Lincoln I’ve seen recently
I haven’t sat in a LR(RR) in years so not sure about the new Velar or RR
@@etaesu83
Look at the interior and tech of the 2019 Lincoln Aviator.
Look at the Interior and tech of the 2019 Audi Q8.
Look at the Interior and tech of the Range Rover Velar.
Notice how the Levante doesnt really match up to those standards.
But if you look at the interior and tech of a 2008 Lexus, BMW or Mercedes then its very similar.
What im saying is that the Levante isnt really a refined luxury product...it excels at being a performance SUV but in terms of having the latest and greatest in comfort and technology it isnt up to standard.
Does that mean its a bad car? No, its just a bad value.
Look and feel are two very different things. Experience the interior of a Levante or any of its siblings, then compare. The craftsmanship is stellar. Coming from both Audi and Maserati ownership, I can say, without a doubt, I would prefer the interior of my Quattroporte. However, you will most likely find more technology and forward-thinking features in many of its competitors, so weigh the technology versus the pure experience and quality of a Maserati before you buy.
@@DarrenPersad
Which Audi have you driven?
The only Quattroporte competitors would be the A7 and A8.
That’s right, though I’ve never driven an A7. Just A5, A6, and A8.
How many will they sell in the USA? 200? How will you get parts? How many mechanics across the country could fix one?
Christopher Calder Their dealer network seems pretty decent and figure that means they have mechanics
They have dealers in Wisconsin, Oklahoma, Idaho, not just big markets
They can be serviced at Maserati, Ferrari, and Alfa dealers. I’ve had no issues getting parts and having service done here in MA. My choice Maserati dealer is located in Norwood here.
Christopher Calder This is my 4th Maser and Ive yet to have an issue with any of them. Early ones were electronically inferior, but they’ve since caught up.
3nd comment
I’ll go for the alfa romeo
I dont like the front end design at all! I agree the interior is one of the best I have seen.
The review was top notch, but you can find better attention to detail and reliable with KIA/Genesis, customers will only buy these for the name plate.
With the new BMW X5 with their V8s coming out, there is no point in getting a Levante, infamous for being not famous.
Meh... this car doesn't elicit anything other than a shoulder shrug. It's nice, but comparing it to the Cayenne makes this look like a half hearted attempt. Which it seems to be. Italian vehicles need flare, and this has none.
I don't see a $100k SUV by looking at that interior. It looks like a $30k SUV.
Way to make a really exciting SUV sound so boring. Seems like the reviewer belings at Consumer Reports.
Nice exterior. Unfortunately, disappointingly boring interior and usability.
Rent it...
Please don't compare to the Stelvio, which I own. Different driving experience. The drivetrain is Magenti Marelli, not Jeep.
Porsche doesn't know how to make pretty. Wagner is not pretty music. Rossini is VERY pretty music.Thank you Alex. Why i subscribe to your channel and do not subscribe to that other guy named Doug. He has major button fetish....to me button work, like wheels. Why reinvent them?
Looks like a Nissan rogue sad!
Bentley Bentayga
Mess 096 I think the Bentley might be the ugliest car I’ve ever seen. I expect Clark Griswold to be driving it to Wally World in a future commercial.
M M17 : Hahahahaha 🤣😂
Or, Get a Honda Pilot EXL for 40k...
Lets see Maserati is owned by FCA which is effectively controlled by Exor which also controls Ferrari. Not exactly a confidence inspiring arrangement.
I think Maserati is legitimately the single worst nameplate sold in the United States right now. Seriously. What brand is worse for the cost?
I may be in the minority, but I find all Maserati exteriors hideous. The Cayenne isn’t much better. I’m going with the MB GLE 63 S. But never have/ never will drive any of them probably.
Daniel Collin you are so full of shit why put your pathetic opinion??
7:25 .... look at the panel gaps
No A+ in any segment. Average brat. I would look at Velar, Stelvio Q, F-pace or XC90 if I want to spend that money
Front end looks good, but rear end just ugly as usual, looks nothing like a luxury car. Inside design is just decent. Overall overpriced vehicle/brand in my opinion.
An overpriced underperformer, pass
Nice panel gaps. What a complete piece of junk, other than the engine. Typical overpriced Maserati trash.
Wouah waouh !!!!! You talk to much!!!😳😳😳 The car is the famous NOT YOU!!!
