Maserati Levante (2016 - 2024) – interior and tech

As a pleasant contrast against the usual business-like interiors in some rivals, the Levante feels reassuringly Italian. Sumptuous leather, rich veneers and surprisingly sorted in-cabin tech feel for its time

  • Sublime engine in top spec; charismatic; distinctive styling
  • Chassis feels archaic in comparison to more rounded rivals

Definitely more Como than Copenhagen, the interior may lack the high tech displays and stark feel of the latest Audi Q7 of the time, but rich leather and a traditional Maserati clock make up for any technological downfall.

Not that the infotainment system is streets behind anyway, the 8.4-inch display is crisp and relatively easy to navigate. While it lacks the ultimate functionality of BMW’s i-Drive or the glamour of Volvo’s portrait style Sensus system, it is arguably easier to use on the move. If you want yet more Italian style in your interior, Maserati will allow you to option Zegna silk trim as part of a Luxury package as well as a wide range of colour seats, dashboards and trims.

Despite looking smaller than rivals like the X6, space inside is comparable, with the wide rear bench giving plenty of space for 3 in the back. The boot meanwhile is cavernous enough for a bit of ‘glamping’ at the weekend. A nice touch is the frameless doors, which alongside the badge and interior help make the Levante feel like a class above obvious rivals.
