CarHub · Maserati
The Levante was Maserati's first SUV, and it brought Italian design drama and Ferrari-built engines into a segment dominated by German rivals.

Model profile
Launched for the 2016 model year and sold through 2024, the Levante rides on the same rear-biased platform family as the Ghibli and Quattroporte saloons. Over its run it gained equipment updates, revised infotainment, and the addition of higher-performance V8 variants. Key milestones include the arrival of the GTS and Trofeo V8 models and, later, the Modena and Ultima trim reshuffles.
Powertrain and equipment
US Levantes are petrol only. The core engine is a 3.0-litre twin-turbo V6, built by Ferrari in Maranello, offered in roughly 345 hp base tune and about 424-430 hp in the S/Modena S.
The Levante is a five-door, five-seat SUV only. Trim progression runs from the base Levante through S, GranLusso and GranSport appearance packages, up to the GTS and Trofeo V8 flagships, with later Modena and Ultima editions. GranLusso emphasises comfort and materials while GranSport adds sportier styling and seats.
Vehicle selection
Availability in the USA is strong, and because these SUVs depreciated quickly, the used market offers everything from lightly used low-mileage V6 cars to characterful V8 Trofeos. Typical cars carry moderate mileage and were often garage-kept status vehicles rather than workhorses. The sensible target is a well-documented example with a full Maserati service history, because deferred maintenance on this car gets expensive fast.

Pre-purchase review
The Levante rewards a car with complete service history and punishes a neglected one. Owners most often report issues with the older FCA-based infotainment (freezes and slow response on early cars), electrical gremlins and sensor faults, and the air suspension, whose compressor and struts are wear items that are costly to replace.
Germany and Europe
US cars read in mph, lack a rear fog lamp, and use US lighting and DRL configurations that must be adapted for German approval.
Typical work covers fitting a rear fog lamp, adapting the headlights and markers to European norms, converting or documenting the speedometer, and recording the odometer in kilometres.
USCar Trader services
As a buyer based in Germany, you do not have to inspect the vehicle yourself in the United States or Canada. Within the agreed scope, USCar Trader can coordinate document review, a separately commissioned on-site inspection and purchase processing.
Covered inspection points are agreed in advance. An on-site inspection records condition at the appointment and is not a guarantee.
Next step: Before commissioning, USCar Trader and the customer agree which document, history, inspection and transaction checks suit the vehicle and are included in the service. This records what was actually checked.
Import process
The assessment depends on the specific vehicle and the circumstances of the transaction. Please contact USCar Trader before purchase; we review any possible duty benefit and provide non-binding support. Import VAT and other costs are considered separately.
Questions and answers
Yes. As an independent broker we source the Levante you select in the USA and manage shipping, customs and registration to German plates.
No, not automatically. A 0% EU import-duty rate may be available for a vehicle covered by Regulation (EU) 2026/1455 that has US origin and is imported directly into the EU. CETA may apply to a vehicle with preferential Canadian origin. Whether the requirements are met is assessed for the individual case. Please contact USCar Trader before purchase; we review the possible duty benefit and provide non-binding support. Import VAT and other costs are assessed separately.
Import VAT and other taxes or costs are assessed separately under the applicable rules and the circumstances of the individual case. A blanket answer for every vehicle would not be reliable.
Petrol only: a 3.0 twin-turbo V6 in several tunes, plus the 3.8 twin-turbo V8 in the GTS and Trofeo. The European diesel was not sold there.
Yes, relative to mainstream SUVs. Air suspension, brakes, tyres and scheduled engine service are the main cost areas, so full history matters.
Early infotainment glitches, electrical faults, air-suspension wear and deferred timing/cooling service on neglected cars.
The V8 Trofeo reaches 60 mph in roughly 3.8 seconds, making it one of the fastest SUVs of its era.
Generally a couple of months from purchase to registration, covering shipping, clearance and approval.
