Maserati Levante
The product of a merger between Chrysler and Fiat, the Maserati Levante is much more than just an elegantly styled variant of the Jeep Grand Cherokee. This is a true Italian luxury SUV befitting of the Trident. Despite its commanding size, the Levante’s car-like handling makes twisty roads an entertaining affair. The engine is sourced from Ferrari, namely a twin-turbocharged V6 that produces 424 horsepower in base trim. Optionally, you can get a twin-turbo V8 rated at 573 horsepower.
