Maserati Levante
As the first SUV in Maserati's long history, the Levante benefits from the brand's Q4 all-wheel drive technology, a mechanical limited-slip rear differential and active air suspension. Twin-turbocharged V6 engines rated at 345 and 424 horsepower are available, but don’t miss the twin-turbo V8 in the new GTS and Trofeo models, which produces 550 and 590 horsepower, respectively. Opt for the latter and the massive 22-inch wheels will sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.9 seconds.
