2022 Porsche Cayenne vs. 2022 Maserati Levante

The 2022 Porsche Cayenne is equipped with features that car buyers will definitely appreciate. The luxury midsize SUV gives buyers plenty of engine choices, depending on the level of adventure that they want to experience during their trips. The chic interior is one thing to watch out for.

Just like the Cayenne, expect zippy engines for the 2022 Maserati Levante as well. Trims have reshuffled features, and you might want to take note of those changes when looking at the ride as well. It has renamed its trim levels too.

Design & Style

Opulence – this is what the 2022 Porsche Cayenne is all about. It remains as stylish as ever and its high-end cabin is finished with soft touches too. There is 60.3 cubic feet of room waiting for your luggage when the last row is not in use. That is 54.3 cubic feet for its coupe version. You will discover that seats are comfortable, most especially for the base trim. There is plenty of legroom and headroom at the back too.

As for that of the 2022 model of the Levante, you will be quite dismayed with some of its design options. It uses leather upholstery, and that is a plus, but this can vary depending on the model that you order. There are silk accents in it, but they are not as pretty-looking as the soft-touch surfaces in the Cayenne. It sits five people, but adults at the back won’t find the space large enough for their needs. It does not even reach 21 cubic feet of space in the cargo area.

Technology & Safety

The 2022 Cayenne now uses a 12.3-inch touch screen display for its infotainment system, a leap from what its predecessors used to offer. This praised for immediately responding to user inputs. There are also a lot of other standard features in the ride, apart from dual-zone automatic climate control. The list includes a navigation system, 10 speakers, wireless Apple CarPlay, and standard Android Auto. Front and rear parking sensors, rearview camera, forward automatic emergency braking, and forward collision warning are standard to the ride as well.

For the Levante, it settles for the 8.4-inch touch screen for its infotainment system. It has eight speakers, Bluetooth, and wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. When it comes to safety, it lacks some of the basic ones that the Cayenne already offers, although blind spot monitoring is included in the list of standards.

Performance

The 2022 Porsche Cayenne hits high marks with its engine variations that starts with the turbo-V6 that scores 335 horsepower. Other engines raise the bar high to result in 434, 453, 541, and 631 horsepower. The engine under the hood of the Maserati only garners 345 horsepower of results, which is not really great, although it hits a higher mark compared to the base of the Cayenne.

The Bottom Line

The 2022 Porsche Cayenne is more than just opulent. It has reliable features as well as remarkable engine options. The 2022 Maserati Levante is obviously behind the Porsche in all aspects.
