Tomas, thanks for appreciating the higher spec model here. Great honest review of a V8 SUV and it's enthusiastic qualities. Best looking SUV alongside the XC90 and Stelvio.
It may not be as fancy as the Germans but if it has one thing that matters more is character. Beautiful engine, transmission etc. Well done Maserati. 🇮🇹❤️‼️ ~ Excellence, passion and performance ~
@@MrSempreme Just because they borrowed the engine doesn't mean they 'Didnt' modify it in some stupid way. Maserati is know for screwing things up..... constantly
White Fox i think it happened as the Fiat group didnt pay much attention to Maserati. All they need is nothing but money to improve their quality and technology
Hello! Very detailed and exciting presentation for example, no one tests music in their presentation. Thank you Tomas you are the best I think, thanks again and have a nice time.
Great video and interesting editing at one point! Kudos, many thanks Thomas and Holger - "live on tape". Levante V8: pricey. And a firm ride. Loved this episode - great detail and of course a great - and exciting - driving part, with excellent driving and commentary as always. Thank you for your work.
Wow! thanks for this review! I’ve driven the Trofeo about one month ago and in “corsa” mode the chassis became very stiff and sporty. Not sure if a 2.2 tonnes SUV can be considered as a sport car, but it was quite fun to drive

In the past I was a big fan of Maserati's and I bought my self a fantastic Quattroporte Sport GT Automatica (2007) and a Grancabrio MC (2015). But with the launch of the Ghibli, the new Quattroporte, the Levante, turbo petrol and diesel engines, the love for Maserati has slowly died. Let's see what the future will bring, if they really launch the Alfieri and MMXX. But electric in order to compete with Tesla and Porsche ? No, thank you ! Therefore I bought my self in 2019 an Abarth 595C Competizione with Performance Package (with mechanical diff) which has been subject to some modifications : all the horrible plastics inside and outside have been covered by / replaced with carbon fibre, leather and alcantara, the Record Monza has been replaced by an Akrapovic (valve removed) and the ECU has been remapped. The result is incredible ! I must admit that I prefer this Abarth to any car I've driven before in my life (with exception perhaps of my Ferrari F355 Spider) and I'm 56 years 'young' ! If you're only 1,80 m and weigh about 70 kilos, the Sabelt seats are really fantastic, also for longer journeys. For more information on my Abarth, please watch my video ua-cam.com/video/w4Uu9Q_Zqi8/v-deo.html
nevarran I agree with you. I have an A class and my father has a Levante: the Maserati system works fine, but it lacks a lot of feature when compared with the MBUX
nevarran People who love and buy Maserati are not interested in buying a car that has a lot of features and a huge infotainment system and in the end they don’t use 90% of it , but they buy it for fun drive to be in different segment class to feel the passion of creating these cars I wish BMW and MB guys understand that and stay in their area where they can find a lot of good toys for them 👍🏻
@@Dominic_d14 I'm not talking about features, mate. Just simple aesthetic beauty and user friendly functionality. I myself would love to drive a Maserati one day, I just don't see why the infotainment screen has to look like Nokia N90.
BTW at this price point most people want a leather interior. FCA parts bin switch gear, mediocre interior quality, infotainment is so-so. You buy this car for the wonderful power plant everything else is secondary.

It's a real pity that some management's bad choices lead Maserati in a troublesome situation... I hope they'll make amend bringing Maserati back to the majesty it deserves.
Adverse weather does not stop you guys from doing great reviews! Maserati looks great and sexy but worried with overall quality, depreciation and long term use.
@@visionist7 Besides that not really being the case, even those more aged models have either had more modern styling from the start or have had recent heavy revisions, with the few exceptions like the Nissan Juke or Volvo V40 which have been on sale almost unchanged for a decade or so.
Maserati builts really emotional and beautiful cars. The problem is that they are not reliable. Mechanical problems usually arise early and often, and don't allow you to enjoy the car.
Ok? It's a maserati, not a Toyota. This is meant for people who can afford a new car every year. Same build quality as a Ferrari. They are all Fiat vehicles
Isa indeed but maserati is trying to compete with the german brands through the ghibli the levante and the current quattroporte ,and all 3 of them are worse than their competitors......you are basically buying them for the badge....the granturismo is the only real maserati left
@@ze3934 yeah I mean they are a flex piece but at least here in the US, BMW and MB has turned to shit. Porsche is eh, only their really high end models are nice.
As always Thomas’s review is amazing. It seems this is a Fiat 500 with a Maserati price tag. I am not sure why anyone would buy this SUV when the German auto makers much products that are SO much better.
Love your reviews THomas. However, FCA needs to get new designers. All Alfa and Maserati designs are complete joke. This car looks like it costs 30k euros.
This car is mostly about power. Esthetically I don't like it at all...the front side look so empty and more like an economy car. The inside is very old and vintage, that is not my style. Maybe this is Maserati's style...As I said, that's my opinion.
@@autogefuehl it's a continuous. Every review of an italian car is taken with "particular" attention. It's a one way all the times. How can you define "cheaply done" the regulation of the seats... seriously. I was already expecting something like this (and i can mention other situations) and it was a kind of boring to see a review where you already know the comments.

@@autogefuehl Can you do a review on the sound system ??
I love the aggressiveness!!

Yup~! Trofeo sounds really awesome! I had a chance record an exhaust video, it was fantastic~! Thanks for great review!
This is some serious car! I guess you enjoyed reviewing it a lot
Love how you always look for animal skin alternatives. Really appreciate it
Thanks so much m8!

fantastic car, engine and color!
Congrats
it looked indeed a bit fast for 130kmh... 😁 how do you see the performance in comparison with the Stelvio quadrifoglio?
Stelvio is much faster in corners and "grippier". Straightline speed goes to Levante
The speedometer was switched to MPH.
@@derbigpr500 didn't get the sarcasm? He switched back to kmh and was at 230 , far faster then his usual 200kmh max speed..
@@derbigpr500 big brain time
Thanks,as usual great video.
Of course in Thomas bue!!!
That infotainment system is a real downer. The one from my A class makes this look like a car from the early 2000s.
nevarran I agree with you. I have an A class and my father has a Levante: the Maserati system works fine, but it lacks a lot of feature when compared with the MBUX
It's a Chrysler system so it probably is from the early 2000s.

Good review. But sadly a perfect example of a luxury brand that has no direction or focus...Rather go the Stelvio QV.

Maserati and with most vehicles in it segment are lease vehicles. No reason in buying these cars. Leasing is the way to go.
It's a generation behind the rest of that segment.
How? The rest of the segment is a generation behind in the engine department.
8:28 I have to say it....
*Got no stress I’ve been through all that*
I know the Levante isn't that old but this interior just looks so old and outdated by now, as if it came out in 2013 or something like that.

Would you recommend one of these over a Mercedes GLC AMG?

No. Check out these: ua-cam.com/video/kWHnpQ2jOG8/v-deo.html

Yes.

step in right direction but needs more Ferrari interior trim and less fiat.
