For more Maserati Levante: https://www.motor1.com/maserati/levante/ As-tested price: $91,075 Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: Even automakers that made their name building sports cars and luxury machines have now begun selling SUVs en masse. Maserati is the latest to follow that path, and the Levante is its first-ever SUV.
