Overall Rating
The Maserati has made Levante in such a way that it always maintains a practicality and stays relevant to the market from time to time.
Named after the wind that blows across the Mediterranean and can change from benign calm to gale force in an instant, the Maserati Levante is similar in nature, but the control of its power-forces in your hand. And now with the introduction of two more power-packed stable mates i.e., the Levante GTS and the Levante Trofeo with the V8 engines, the SUV you are going to control gets more powerful.
The 2019 Levante GranSport seems like the better option that strikes a balance with enough features and the sporty driving dynamics on offer. The base model is also a good option if you don’t care for the sports package.

Exterior Features
The 2019 Maserati Levante is well equipped with quite abundant and advanced safety features to keep you out of trouble at all times. So let's have a look at what all it provides to keep you safe on your drive:
The Cayenne has been in the market for quite some time and has gained the trust of the market. On the other hand, the Levante was introduced to the market of midsize crossover SUVs just a couple of years back but is loaded up with many advanced features.
However, the Porsche along with its low price and on par power and performance also provides quite some space thus bringing itself into consideration.
The Audi Q8 is the newcomer into the market. But looks like coming straight into the market it is going to give tough competition to most of the midsize crossovers in the line including the 2019 Maserati Levante. Though most of its features are not yet available, such a power-packed performer at such a price might turn the tables around.
The 2019 Jaguar F-Pace S is the sports trim of the Jaguar F-Pace. Its supercharged V6 engine is quite powerful than that of the Levante. In fact, it is a better performer and gives a fuel economy on par to the Levante.
Moreover, it is also as feature-rich as the Levante and has many spacious interiors. And all this at a very low price than the Levante. Thus the F-Pace might get more Preference than the Levante.
Looks like the 2019 Maserati Levante is not all about power and performance this year. The price you are going to pay for it looks quite justified for the comfort, advanced features, and versatility it provides. However, if you still consider power and performance as a factor the newly introduced GTS and Trofeo might win your heart.
Still, its price is a huge factor because its competitors are providing even more power-packed performers for the same price.
