Imagine the scene: you're on a classified ads website, you search for \"Maserati Levante\", and sorting by increasing price... and there, shock. Levante SUVs from around \u20ac25,000, the price of a new Renault Captur SUV. In the photos, cream leather, wood, large screen, steering wheel paddles, V6 under the hood, trident logo on the steering wheel. On the \"mileage\" line, however, we read 190,000, 220,000, 280,000, sometimes over 300,000 km. So, good deal or future source of anguish at your garage? To get to the bottom of this, you need to understand two things: why this luxury SUV has lost so much of its value, and above all which engines are hiding under the hood, because on the Levante, the choice between V6 diesel, V6 petrol or V8 petrol completely changes the story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A luxury SUV that discounts like a generalist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Levante is the first SUV in the company's history. Maserati<\/a>. Produced at Mirafiori in Turin from 2016 to 2024, it shares its technical base with the Ghibli and Quattroporte VI. 5-meter SUV, V6 or V8, four-wheel drive, 8-speed ZF automatic gearbox, positioned opposite the Porsche Cayenne, BMW X5, Range Rover Sport. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

New, we were talking about \u20ac80,000 to over \u20ac150,000, depending on version and country. Today, the majority of \"sound\" used car ads are between \u20ac40,000 and \u20ac70,000 for cars with between 40,000 and 140,000 km. And then there's the basement of the market: those Levante for less than \u20ac25,000, often diesel, with mileage worthy of a German cab. What's worth remembering is that the Levante does not behave like a future \"collector\" in the manner of a V8 Granturismo. The results of recent auctions make this clear: Trofeo, GTS, Modena, GT sell in a wide range from around $27,000 to $88,000 depending on year, mileage and version, but we're not seeing a speculative surge. It's a luxury SUV that's going down, not a work of art that's going up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In other words: you buy a Levante for pleasure and image, not for capital gains. Which brings us to the real question: for the price of a Renault, is it better to buy a Renault... or a Maserati Levante? The answer lies largely in the engine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under the hood: three engines that tell the story of three Maseratis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Over the years, the Levante range has featured a number of powertrains: V6 diesel, V6 petrol, V8 petrol, then a 330 hp 2.L 4-cylinder hybrid at the end of its career. But for a \"passion\" pre-owned purchase, it's the V6 diesel, V6 petrol and V8 petrol engines that really count.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The V6 3.0L diesel: king of the long haul... and champion of mileage<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The most common engine to appear in European ads is this one: the 3.0 V6 diesel with 250 or 275 hp, signed VM Motori and already known on the Ghibli and Quattroporte. On the road, it's a beautiful engine. Torque everywhere, a sound that's discreet but not devoid of character, and low fuel consumption for an SUV weighing over two tons. It's this engine that has enabled the Levante to live its life as a heavy-duty tourer: on Italian and German freeways, in corporate fleets and on private roads... And it shows today: most of the less expensive Levante models have more than 200,000 km, sometimes 300,000 km.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
