Used 2019 Maserati Levante for Sale near Georgetown, TX

Quite simply, the Maserati Levante is the Ferrari of SUVs.

When the Maserati brothers opened shop in Bologna during the months before World War I, they conceived a racing team that would ship out beautiful, hot-blooded sports cars—and then see them return with trophies. A century later, the Maserati family name embraces the Levante, a vehicle the original brothers would have deemed too tall, heavy, and philosophically wrong to produce.

Introduced for 2017, the Levante is the Italian manufacturer's first crossover, and it's the very first Maserati I have driven after a decade of driving everything under the sun. Being a tall and heavy SUV, I was unprepared to like it. But I did. It is an imperfect—but not improper—Maserati. Understand, it also makes for a most irrational choice, competing against other $100,000 luxury performance SUVs from Porsche, BMW M, Mercedes-AMG, Range Rover, and Alfa Romeo. It's the Levante's unique character, style, and special trimmings that might move you to buy this Maserati.
