Performance & Pricing
Under the hood of both vehicles, you’ll find 3.0-litre six-cylinder engines that achieve high-output figures through two drastically different methods. The Maserati embraces a traditional twin-turbocharged approach with its glorious sounding Nettuno V6 that generates 424 horsepower and 428 lb-ft of torque. On the other hand, the Mercedes uses an inline six-cylinder with a single turbocharger, mated to a mild hybrid system to produce a net 429 horsepower and 384 lb-ft of torque.
When it comes to pricing, the Levante Modena has a starting price of $123,800*, while the GLE 53 Coupe starts at $119,500*, relatively similar pricing for relatively similar performance SUVs.
