Here at Jim Butler Maserati of St. Louis, we have come to recognize that the current market has offerings for just about any taste. If the current crop of German and Japanese luxury midsize SUVs just don’t happen to be your thing, we’ve been busy cultivating models boasting pure power and a very rich flair! The 2025 Levante was reviewed in the CarCarPro blog last week, which detailed just how it met the expectations of their high-end fantasy.
The cabin is covered in rich materials such as unique silk and leather upholstery from the renowned Ermenegildo Zegna. It offers an impressive performance that speaks volumes and makes good on a decades-old promise to always offer a finished product that is undeniably exclusive. The familiar GranLusso, GranSport, and GTS models have been replaced with an entirely new 3-trim arrangement. The GT is now the starting point, extending upward to the sportier Modena and range-topping Trofeo.
New Trim Levels and Performance Upgrades
The twin-turbo V6 now powers the GT with a slight boost to 350 hp. The Modena has a 430-hp V6, while the Modena S packs a 550-hp twin-turbo V8. The Trofeo rightfully enjoys life at the top with a 580-horsepower version of this piston puncher! All the models will be sporting updated Maserati logos along with some cool trim stripes directly above the fender-mounted vents. The Modena S slaps on classy 20-inch wheels and offers a leather interior with unique dash and door panels.
The Modena S models don’t leave the brake calipers out either, dipping them in sweet red paint. The Nerissimo Pack appearance package channels the thrill of stepping out after nightfall with cool darkened exterior panels. During testing, a 2024 GTS launched up to 60 mph in just 3.8 seconds. The Trofeo tackled the same feat in a snappy 3.6 seconds. Setting the active dampers to Sport mode allows you to “feel” all the sensations that stoked your love for the grand touring segment in the first place!
Luxurious Interior and Advanced Features
The interior speaks volumes about any car model, and the Maserati Levante instantly strikes even the most discerning driver as incredibly classy! This tester’s test vehicle came in a rich dark brown full-leather treatment and open-pore wood trim. The chrome accents along with the leather-covered dashboard pop nicely, and the analog clock makes for a delightfully old-school feel. The Levante offers excellent ergonomics for driving and enough cargo space for 8 carry-on bags.
An 8-speaker stereo system is standard, with the upgraded 14-speaker Harman/Kardon model providing the colossally kicked-up jams. Car and Driver praised this model for its “designer duds, operatic engines, and muscly power from the available V8s”. It’s a solid performer with a quite lusty engine. Many diehard fans are expressing appreciation for the recurring respect this model has for what some deem as yesteryear’s power. The Newcars.com review staff claimed that the Levante does a much better transmitting power to the wheels than the BMW X7, and the “Nero Assoluto” paint hue is truly indicative of our brand’s strength and prowess.
