This is The Maserati Levante S, now it's with us for a day and we decided to take it out and try and find out what it's all about. You know Maserati keep saying that The Levante is, well the Maserati of SUVs and that got us thinking what Maserati really is.
Maserati Levante S : Exterior and Styling
Well, the first thing about a Maserati is style and The Levante certainly is a very good looker. The slender headlights really add to the car sleek profile and the large grille with the massive trident logo looks awesome and visually swallows you in. Especially with the active airflow blades, open, which operate automatically according to the heat buildup and speed of the car.
The rear has the typical Maserati tail lights, red and circling white and the steeply rigged windshield is stopped by an integrated spoiler. At the side, you realize just how low and stretched out the car really is. The bonnet is long and the lines flow smoothly into the rear section which has nice and prominently flared haunches. The sides also have some neat embellishments like the chrome work for the shark gill-like vents and a Maserati logo on the rear seat pillar that really adds that touch of elegant style. So, on the whole it is a stylish car. Yes, there are some awkward angles but it's striking and certainly does turn heads and we can tell you this, it looks a lot better in real life.

Maserati Levante S : Interior
The other aspect of Maserati is impeccable craftsmanship and if you look around the cabin of the Levante S, it certainly takes that box. Now, yes there are a few or rather quite a few buttons that do feel plasticky and like they don't belong on a car at this price level but that aside the overall look and feel inside the cabin is really-really plush.
There's the leather around all over (dashboard), you've got this carbon fiber finish here, grained soft touch dashboard, it all feels very rich and inviting. There are even the modern bits like the 8.4 inch touch-screen with Android Auto and Apple Carplay connectivity and a 7-inch display squeezed between the two simple but neat looking dials and there are buttons and dials for the drive mode and adjustable ride height settings but it isn't like the sanitized and clean and techno laden interiors that you have on other SUVs but what it feels like is a very warm inviting and a corseting inside

Maserati Levante S : Driving Review
Of course, Maseratis are fast and this one is too. There's always that awesome soundtrack with those thrilling pops from the exhaust, wow. The three liter V6 puts out 430 horsepower and makes 580 newton-meters of torque and its claim time of zero to 100 kilometers per hour stands at 5.2 seconds.
Yeah, it won't win many drag races,
there are quicker SUVs but it's quick enough to put a big smile on your face
and you can enjoy a nice spirited drive. In terms of ride and handling, the
ride is fine over smooth surfaces but not so on rough sections. While there is
good road grip, here too there are SUVs
that will out handle it. The thing is, there is body roll and you don't feel as
connected through the steering wheel as you do in say a

Price &Verdict
So, it isn't the fastest in a straight line or around corners and at rupees 1.63 crores X- Showroom, it's more expensive than some of the others. If these attributes are high on your list you will do better elsewhere.
That's why the Levante isn't a hot seller but that means you get a lot of exclusivity and if you aren't chasing lap times and think that over the crow mark, a few couple of lakhs doesn't really make a difference, then what you will get is one very stylish SUV with workmanship inside of a very high order. Of course, something that's still plenty of fun from behind the wheel, it's then i guess typically italian or as the company says it's the Maserati of SUVs.
