Maserati Levante

The Maserati Levante is my kind of decadent sport utilitarian vehicle experience. All the leathery touchpoints feel bejeweled, accented by the marque's legendary trident. In contrast, Levante's driving personality feels like a big strong, strapping SUV (Hi FCA iconic off-roading cousin Jeep!) albeit in midsize proportions. Cargo space is not at optimum in this chic ride. The Levante is not intended as the most pragmatic luxury model, but that would be missing the point entirely, darling. It’s about getting your elbow room in a chic package.

The 2019 Maserati Levante starts at $77,475.
