V8 petrol that will scream to 6800 rpm. Trouble is the cars I desire are £100k upwards new. Can't justify spending that, and no way would I consider this diesel lump. I also have a 1997 diesel escort van, in a way it's fun to drive as you can keep your right foot to the floor most of the time without being illegal!

A kerb wheight above 2 tons and a 0 to 60 time of 7 sec, with the standard issue 3.0 diesel, are pretty much standard in this class. So no wrongdoing of the Maser here...

+Joe Tacchino You are missing the point. Many people hated the Cayenne, when it came out thinking, that Porsche should never build such a vehicle. But it gave the company profits, which it could use also for improving its sports cars. And if Maserati is going to have a future and be able to build great cars, they need sales and profits. Its as simple as that. And globally there is just much more sales in SUVs than in sportscars or high end limousines like the Quattroporte. If you dont like the brand and wish for it to have a future, why are you even watching and commenting on this video? If you would rather own a Porsche, then fine, good for you, buy a Porsche. But we are some, who find, that the car world would be a bit boring, if only the german manufacturers were present in the premium segment.

Yeah just like Jaguar jumped into the game as well. I believe they sold more F-Paces in it's first month of sales than the entire Jaguar line-up. I'm glad Maserati jumped into the SUV market as well... not only does it look beautiful (in my opinion) but it's a smart move on their part... because they know not everyone can afford their higher end cars like the Quattroporte or the GranTurismo.. not that this SUV is exactly cheap ( in the US) but it's better than paying 100k+ for the other models. Honestly once I get my degree and the vehicle I have no completely dies, I will probably look at a Levante,F-Pace, or Cayenne/Macan. All 3 look great in my opinion, the only downside is for the price of a base Levante I could get a maxed out F-Pace.

I agree Harry a twin turbo would change the car. A small turbo to enable free revving from lowdown, then the larger turbo coming in at the higher rev band with the power.

Great review - so detailed, intelligent and comprehensive. You just don't get this anywhere else in these post-print days. (Supercar Classics is sorely missed.) You've probably nailed the conundrum of the design brief for this car: Firstly, it needs to translate the essence and virtues of a Maserati to an SUV (a paradox) that could even be diesel powered (an anathema). Secondly, it needs to be a credible off-roader but still be a sporty Maserati on-road even though 90% of the buyers couldn't care less about either. (They just need lots of logos and a big price tag as they drive it around on shopping trips.) That said, I still feel Maserati may want to host a link to your brilliant field test on their website, LOL! (I once did something even more lurid in a mate's 911 Carrera and he complained he got a massive bill for hosing down the mud and grass from all the crevices in the undercarriage. Wonder if the ride height adjusters saved the Levante from a similar problem?) Looking forward to finding out if the Stelvio has an 18" footwell and great connectivity....

Much more power and about 50% better fuel economy. Of course, you can't buy one in the states right now...

I remember the shock and disparaging remarks when Porsche launched the Cayenne but it saved the company and provides the profits to continually evolve the 911. Like it or not, SUV's are massive sellers, which shown no sign of losing popularity, hence the likes of Lamborghini and Bentley have even joined the fray. I think it's very difficult for a brand solely known for sports cars to launch an SUV which also encompasses the design heritage of the brand without it looking a little awkward in places. Original Cayenne and Bentayga spring to mind and many seem to agree. I think the Levante is a good first effort, especially given it starts at £55k here in the UK, so it's competing with the X5, ML, Q7 and XC90. Many manufacturers are reducing the development of diesel engines or even completely removing them, such as Porsche, so you can't blame Maserati for not offering anything better than a 275bhp V6 diesel for those markets that require a diesel option, such as Europe. The petrol engines are indeed more in keeping with the brand and they do receive some good reviews compared to the diesel model. The new Trofeo V8 will hopefully take it to another level and give the Levante the halo model it should have had from launch. Like all large SUV's, the Levante needs big wheels to offset the large body and raised ride height, and the Levante certainly looks better on 21s and especially so on the 22s of the Trofeo V8. Having seen a few in S trim on bigger wheels, the Levante is making much more sense to me.
