2017 Maserati Levante Dimensions, Size & Specs

The Maserati Levante's width varies between 1968 mm and 1981 mm (about 77.5 to 77.9 inches) when the mirrors are extended. When the mirrors are folded, the width is reduced to 2158 mm (approximately 84.9 inches). The width including mirrors demonstrates the car's broad stance and stable road presence, while the folded mirror width is relevant for urban parking and garage fitting considerations.

The Levante's height ranges from 1679 mm to 1698 mm (66.1 to 66.8 inches) depending on suspension and variant. This height supports a commanding driving position typical of SUVs, allows comfortable headroom inside the cabin and contributes to the Levante's aerodynamics and exterior styling that balances sportiness with SUV practicality.

The Maserati Levante has a curb weight ranging from 2090 kg to 2205 kg (approximately 4609 to 4859 lbs). This variation depends on options and model variants, including engine type and equipment level. The weight reflects its luxury build quality, extensive features, and robust construction necessary for SUV safety and performance.

The Levante offers 580 liters (about 20.48 cubic feet) of luggage capacity with rear seats in the upright position, which suits everyday luggage and cargo needs. When the rear seats are folded down, this capacity expands significantly to 1625 liters (approximately 57.38 cubic feet), providing generous space for larger items, gear or extended travel cargo accommodations typical of premium SUVs.

The Levante comes with rim sizes of 18, 19, 20, and 21 inches, fitted with a variety of tires: 255/60 ZR18, 265/50 ZR19, 265/50 R19, 295/45 ZR19, 265/40 R20, 295/40 R20, 265/40 R21, and 295/35 R21. The different sizes allow buyers to prioritize comfort, performance, or sporty handling. Larger rims like 21-inch wheels enhance cornering and aesthetics but may slightly reduce ride comfort due to lower profile tires.

Generally, the Maserati Levante fits into a standard residential garage, but it can be a tight fit depending on the garage size. Given the maximum length of about 5020 mm (197.6 inches), width up to 1981 mm (77.9 inches) including mirrors, and height near 1698 mm (66.8 inches), the Levante is relatively wide and tall. Folding mirrors to 2158 mm (84.9 inches) helps maneuver in narrower spaces. Owners with standard single-car garages measuring approximately 5400 mm (213 inches) length and 2600 mm (102 inches) width should be able to park the Levante safely, though care is needed due to the broader dimensions.

The 2017 Maserati Levante is the brand's first SUV model, so it does not have a direct predecessor within Maserati’s lineup. Conceptually, it marks Maserati's entry into the luxury SUV market, combining sporty sedan-like dimensions and performance with SUV practicality. Compared to rivals, its dimensions lean towards the larger end in length and width, emphasizing spaciousness and road presence without sacrificing Maserati’s performance heritage.

Dimensionally, the Maserati Levante is competitive with rivals such as the Porsche Cayenne and BMW X5. The Levante's length (5003-5020 mm) is roughly in line with these models, with the Porsche Cayenne typically around 4918 mm (193.6 inches) and the BMW X5 about 4922 mm (193.7 inches). The Levante is slightly wider at up to 1981 mm (77.9 inches) compared to the X5's approximate 2004 mm (78.9 inches) including mirrors and Cayenne’s width around 1983 mm (78.1 inches) without mirrors. Its height is similarly comparable, making the Levante a strong competitor offering similarly spacious interiors and cargo volumes with a distinctly Italian design and sporty stance.

The Maserati Levante (2017-present) represents Maserati's first foray into the SUV segment, blending luxury, Italian design flair, and sporty driving dynamics. It offers powerful engine options, including V6 and V8 variants, athletic handling rivaling sport sedans, and upscale interiors with premium materials and advanced technology. Its size balances spacious cabin room and generous cargo capacity with a sleek, aggressive exterior. The Levante also features advanced all-wheel drive systems and adaptive air suspension, emphasizing comfort and performance on various terrains, positioning it well within the luxury SUV market.
