Maserati Levante Trofeo 2021 review - you'll be amazed how quick it is to 60mph!

Need help buying your next car? Click www.carwow.co.uk/help-me-carwow and my team and I will help you choose your ideal car at a fair price - from Mat Watson!
.............................................................
This is the Maserati Levante Trofeo!
Maserati’s Levante SUV range kicks off from £64,000. However, if you’re looking at the top-of-the-range Trofeo edition, you’ll be paying a bit more… with the price starting from £125,000!! So with such a huge price tag, we need to take a closer look and see whether it’s worth it.
When it comes to performance, it more than warrants the hefty price tag. With a Ferrari 3.8-litre twin-turbo V8 under the bonnet, the Levante Trofeo is one of the best performance SUVs out there. It can put down 580hp & 780Nm of torque, which helps it hit 60mph in just 4.1 seconds!
But how about the rest of the car - is the interior plush enough? And do the exterior style upgrades make it worth choosing over the standard Levante? You’ll have to keep watching to find out!

Of you think I should stop them comment how feel about the analogies using an emoji like 💩🤔🤮🤼‍♂️ ... EDIT: alanogies is another word for Partridgisms (if you know you know 😉) and wasn't a typo at all 😜. Unfortunately, I can't construct an excuse for the use of 'Of' instead of 'If' and the missing 'you' from the last sentence. Anyway, I blame my errors the fact I'd just ended a 35hr fast!

I’ve mostly owned German cars until I swapped my 2017 Audi A4 for a 2020 Alfa Romeo Giulia. The Alfa is a much better car in every area barring interior aesthetics.

[@DefinitelyNotEmma]

@@mbarn American cars are in fact better, same for the Frenchies in case of the alpine and the Renault RS. Britain has its moments with Aston Martin, Bentley and Rolls Royce especially. Scandinavia with Volvo and Koenigsegg is also pretty impressive. I don't even mention germany, because it's obvious that the best cars are german. Italy has a few models like the 458, 488 and 812 that are great, or the Alfa Romeo Giulia QF, the Abarth 124 is a Mazda miata so it's Japanese. Every high volume car in Italy is trash and the Maserati brand as a whole is a joke, something the MC20 might change in the future, it definitely has the looks for it.

Exclusivity-wise this Maserati is simply unbeatable, unlike the Audi cars, all of which are so similar to each other. In Poland Audis are such a popular brand on the 2nd hand market, so much that you never get this feeling of a excusivity if you own one. On the flipside, though, when it comes to servicing an Audi here, there’s no problem finding a specialist garage. Great video again.

[@GreenDiesal]

The interior looks like something my grandad would be interested in.. but damn that sound.

[@lucderan]

probably your grandad has more taste. Maserati was (and still remain) an high class luxury brand made for elegant people. This is not a racing car, but a Luxury SUV that blinks to a specific market segment where you can find other "senior's" brands like Rolls and Bentley. If you want something more "aggressive" from Maserati there's the MC12. In a few you'll see the MC20 and also a Full Electric version... but on the other page of the Maserati catalogue you'll find Luxury Sedans with four doors and five seats, full soft leather everywhere, made to be driven by a chauffeur. Maserati isn't Ferrari or Lamborghini. And it doesn't want to appear like them. They want to fight (and they loose because of the FCA Group strategies and the financial situation) with Mercedes.

[@GreenDiesal]

@@lucderan Just because it’s a ‘high class luxury brand made for elegant people’ does not mean it is beyond reproach for its design.
