## Verdict

- **Best value year**: 2019
- **Ideal trim**: 3.0 V6 Diesel GranLusso
- **Target mileage**: 40,000–60,000 miles
- **Max previous owners**: 2
- **Target price**: £28,500

## Why this model

If you're after a luxury SUV that stands out from the crowd, the Maserati Levante is a fantastic choice. It offers Italian flair, a distinctive exhaust note (even on the diesel!), and a truly luxurious interior that feels special. It's not as common as a German SUV, so you'll definitely turn heads. While it might not have the bulletproof reliability of some rivals, a well-maintained example from 2019 offers a huge amount of car for the money, having taken the biggest hit on depreciation.

## What you should pay

For a 2019 Maserati Levante 3.0 V6 Diesel GranLusso with around 50,000 miles, you should aim to pay around £28,500. Prices can vary quite a bit based on exact mileage, condition, and optional extras, but this target price represents a good balance for a well-cared-for example. Be prepared to negotiate, especially if the car has been on the forecourt for a while.

## Which trim to buy

The 3.0 V6 Diesel GranLusso trim offers the best balance of luxury, performance, and running costs for a used Levante. The diesel engine provides decent torque and more sensible fuel economy than the petrol V6, making it more practical for daily driving. The GranLusso trim adds a host of comfort-oriented features like premium leather, heated seats, and a more refined interior finish, making it feel truly special without the higher purchase price and running costs of the more powerful petrol or Trofeo models.

## What to check before you buy

- Electrical gremlins (infotainment, sensors)
- Air suspension faults (can be costly to repair)
- Brake wear (heavy car, powerful engine)
- Interior trim rattles and squeaks
- Turbocharger issues (less common but reported)

## Running costs

Running a Maserati Levante, even a diesel, isn't cheap. Fuel costs for the 3.0 V6 Diesel will be around 21 pence per mile based on current diesel prices and 33 mpg. Road tax (VED) for a 2019 model will be £190 per year from April 2025, as the premium car tax supplement will have expired. Insurance will be significant, likely in the range of £1,200-£2,500+ per year depending on your personal circumstances. Servicing is also more expensive than mainstream brands, so budget £500-£1,000+ annually for maintenance, plus potential costs for tyres and unexpected repairs.

## Key stats

- **Fuel Type**: Diesel
- **Horsepower**: 275 hp
- **Mpg**: 33-35 mpg (combined)
- **Reliability Score**: Below average compared to German rivals
- **Safety Rating**: 5-star Euro NCAP (2017)

## Depreciation forecast

| Year | Estimated value | Retention |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 2026 | £28,500 | 0% |
| 2027 | £25,365 | 11% |
| 2028 | £22,575 | 21% |
| 2029 | £20,092 | 30% |
| 2030 | £17,882 | 37% |

Buying a 2019 Levante in 2026 means you're getting a car that has already taken the steepest depreciation hit. Maserati's lose a lot of value in their first few years, so by picking a 7-year-old model, you're entering the market at a point where the value loss is much more gradual. This makes it a 'sweet spot' for luxury car buyers looking for significant savings.

Total value lost since new: 37.3%.

## Alternatives to consider

- Porsche Cayenne Diesel
- Range Rover Sport SDV6
- BMW X5 30d
