I agree with both of you guys but I honestly think the main difference is that both Harry and Chris actually go out and drive the cars. Even Shmee you wouldn't really see him ripping around a field like that to actually test the car. No one cares about how much carbon a car has we just want to see how a car performs.

it sounded like a tractor at the beginning the great thing about Harry reviewing a car is his technical knowledge and his fairness. he tries an ice covered Hill and it fails,at the point most presenters would roll out the 'its no range rover, up this Hill" but no,Harry goes and fetches his range rover,tries and fails the same Hill (and puts it on the film). quality review as always.

Bryan Yes, agree, sounds like a tractor, and although I might love a tractor, there is no way I want a car that sounds like this. I much prefer my almost worthless 1998 XJ. V8 petrol that will scream to 6800 rpm. Trouble is the cars I desire are £100k upwards new. Can't justify spending that, and no way would I consider this diesel lump. I also have a 1997 diesel escort van, in a way it's fun to drive as you can keep your right foot to the floor most of the time without being illegal!

Thats a comprehensive and honest review. One thing though: The Levante does NOT directly compete with F-Pace and macan (D-segment) but with the upcoming J-Pace, RangeRover Sport, chayenne and so forth (E-segment). A kerb wheight above 2 tons and a 0 to 60 time of 7 sec, with the standard issue 3.0 diesel, are pretty much standard in this class. So no wrongdoing of the Maser here...

+Liam Beeson-Clune - You're joking surely?! I hate SUV's with a passion but this is actually one of the better ones to look at. How can this be the most horrific SUV on the planet when the BMW X6 or the X4 exist?! These 2 abominations are the most hideous car designs ever commissioned barring the 1st gen Fiat Multipla and the Chrysler PT Cruiser. It's substantially better to look at than a Range Rover Evoque or any of the other Range Rover products tbh. It looks hundred times nicer in the flesh than a Jaguar F Pace. Compared to a Gran Turismo or Ghibli it's not great but compared to some of the above, it's like a super model.

Before taxes but with the options I wanted (some of which should be already included at this level of the game) the damn thing came out to 108G's Cdn. That's before taxes, fees and what not. If I was in the market for an SUV and I had that type of cash to blow, I would go for a Tesla instead. I wish Maserati all the best. Great to see a legendary marquee attempt new segments.

Interestingly the whole rear of the car comes off,and it comes with small seats above each rear wheel, so mechanics can get comfy whilst doing headgaskets repairs. It's even going to have cup holders in the engine bay.happy days.

+Joe Tacchino You are missing the point. Many people hated the Cayenne, when it came out thinking, that Porsche should never build such a vehicle. But it gave the company profits, which it could use also for improving its sports cars. And if Maserati is going to have a future and be able to build great cars, they need sales and profits. Its as simple as that. And globally there is just much more sales in SUVs than in sportscars or high end limousines like the Quattroporte. If you dont like the brand and wish for it to have a future, why are you even watching and commenting on this video? If you would rather own a Porsche, then fine, good for you, buy a Porsche. But we are some, who find, that the car world would be a bit boring, if only the german manufacturers were present in the premium segment.

Yeah just like Jaguar jumped into the game as well. I believe they sold more F-Paces in it's first month of sales than the entire Jaguar line-up. I'm glad Maserati jumped into the SUV market as well... not only does it look beautiful (in my opinion) but it's a smart move on their part... because they know not everyone can afford their higher end cars like the Quattroporte or the GranTurismo.. not that this SUV is exactly cheap ( in the US) but it's better than paying 100k+ for the other models. Honestly once I get my degree and the vehicle I have no completely dies, I will probably look at a Levante,F-Pace, or Cayenne/Macan. All 3 look great in my opinion, the only downside is for the price of a base Levante I could get a maxed out F-Pace.

I agree Harry a twin turbo would change the car. A small turbo to enable free revving from lowdown, then the larger turbo coming in at the higher rev band with the power. I find this combo can give diesel engines a petrol feel. The BMW 123d did this brilliantly giving it big torque with fast revving and impressive performance.

Usually I wouldn't be able to tolerate an SUV review, but a very entertaining video. In typical SUV style, it doesn't seem to do anything as well as an equivalent premium estate car; just a 2.2 ton hazard to people in smaller cars. Very bland looking from the rear too. It's a shame such a wondrous old company had to give up its dignity, in order to stay afloat I assume.

Great real-world review, Harry. I see a lot of people are abhorred by a diesel SUV wearing a trident badge. I'm trying to be philosophical about it; I recognise the business case for an SUV is too strong for Maserati to ignore. Hopefully it will make the company so much money they can afford to build other cars that do their racing heritage justice. ... still wish it was more of a looker.

Great review - so detailed, intelligent and comprehensive. You just don't get this anywhere else in these post-print days. (Supercar Classics is sorely missed.) You've probably nailed the conundrum of the design brief for this car: Firstly, it needs to translate the essence and virtues of a Maserati to an SUV (a paradox) that could even be diesel powered (an anathema). Secondly, it needs to be a credible off-roader but still be a sporty Maserati on-road even though 90% of the buyers couldn't care less about either. (They just need lots of logos and a big price tag as they drive it around on shopping trips.) That said, I still feel Maserati may want to host a link to your brilliant field test on their website, LOL! (I once did something even more lurid in a mate's 911 Carrera and he complained he got a massive bill for hosing down the mud and grass from all the crevices in the undercarriage. Wonder if the ride height adjusters saved the Levante from a similar problem?) Looking forward to finding out if the Stelvio has an 18" footwell and great connectivity....

I don't understand the hate toward how the Levante looks. I think it looks great! Also, I tend to prefer a diesel in a big vehicle like this. I had received 2 different Cayennes from the dealership as loaner vehicles and one was the basic v6 and the other was the diesel, and the diesel was WAY better. Much more power and about 50% better fuel economy. Of course, you can't buy one in the states right now...

You might think it's strange but I love the sound of a V6 diesel on tick-over. Still think I'll stick with the Land Rover though.

Great videos Harry, you have such a great place to test cars like this. It looks out of place on the rough stuff, it also looks like a Nissan Qashqai from the back. Would never choose this over the F - Pace 3.0 Diesel or for the money the New Discovery.

My Dad has a 2016 Touareg R-Line Plus and it is also a 3.0L V6 Diesel but sounds so much nicer than this! Quite surprised really, it's an odd looking car especially for a Maserati and the Day time running lights look really weird. Fantastic review Harry

Another excellent video Harry. I do like your modern car reviews, but i prefer your old car ones more though. The history of them and styles you just cant have anymore. That said though, ill look forward to your next video, whatever it may be. You have a cool job!

All it is , is badge engineering like the SsangYong Musso was known as the Mercedes-Benz Musso in some markets as many people are attracted to famous or upmarket names. I can only see the Levante as a brand recognition tool for other possible future models as Maserati unless your into cars or have heard the name isn't one of these brands you think of such as Mercedes , BMW and Audi

BMW 5 series has motorisesd flaps to cover the radiator too :) although they only have smaller kidney grills at front so less chance of debris hitting radiator.

I remember the shock and disparaging remarks when Porsche launched the Cayenne but it saved the company and provides the profits to continually evolve the 911. Like it or not, SUV's are massive sellers, which shown no sign of losing popularity, hence the likes of Lamborghini and Bentley have even joined the fray. I think it's very difficult for a brand solely known for sports cars to launch an SUV which also encompasses the design heritage of the brand without it looking a little awkward in places. Original Cayenne and Bentayga spring to mind and many seem to agree. I think the Levante is a good first effort, especially given it starts at £55k here in the UK, so it's competing with the X5, ML, Q7 and XC90. Many manufacturers are reducing the development of diesel engines or even completely removing them, such as Porsche, so you can't blame Maserati for not offering anything better than a 275bhp V6 diesel for those markets that require a diesel option, such as Europe. The petrol engines are indeed more in keeping with the brand and they do receive some good reviews compared to the diesel model. The new Trofeo V8 will hopefully take it to another level and give the Levante the halo model it should have had from launch. Like all large SUV's, the Levante needs big wheels to offset the large body and raised ride height, and the Levante certainly looks better on 21s and especially so on the 22s of the Trofeo V8. Having seen a few in S trim on bigger wheels, the Levante is making much more sense to me.

The one and only time this car will be driven off road. I bet the man at Maserati had his head in his hands. Touchscreen is tiny too and don't mention the Diesel!

Was stuck in a traffic jam on the way back from Stansted when a lorry pulled up next to me on Italian plates. Was full to the brim with these.
