If you go with the Land Rover Defender, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Maserati Levante.

The Land Rover Defender has a little less horsepower than the Maserati Levante.

Powertrain
With its lower torque engine, the Land Rover Defender doesn't do as good a job transmitting power to its wheels as the Maserati Levante.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Land Rover Defender and the Maserati Levante. With the Land Rover Defender, you'll be able to haul more equipment or luggage than the Maserati Levante.
