Standard features
With luxury SUVs, everything but the kitchen sink should come standard, and that’s true for the 2019 Maserati Levante — but not for the 2019 Porsche Cayenne. The Levante gets a better standard sound system (280 watt and one year of complimentary SiriusXM) compared to the Cayenne’s 150-watt system with three months of SiriusXM. The Levante also boasts an active air suspension with damping, limited slip differential, heated 12-way seats with memory, a power steering column, remote start and keyless entry, auto-dimming mirrors, and Blind Spot Monitoring — all standard on every Levante. Each of these options comes at an additional cost or is just not offered on the 2019 Cayenne.
