Is the 2022 Maserati Levante Trofeo a BETTER performance SUV than a Lambo Urus?

[@reinc83]

You killed this walkthrough dude! Enthusiasm and talked about all the little details that others skip over. All on point, well done!

[@matte8441]

One of these pulled up beside me at a gas station once and when the owner started it up and left I was surprised on how awesome it sounds. The Levantes in my area seem to be favoured by firefighters judging by their speciality license plates and stickers.

[@tomdrummy4984]

Love the sound of Maserati engine. I drove quattroporte years ago and sound was amazing. It also had fuel economy meter that was only in green when idling. As soon as you stepped on gas, it went to red 🤣

Look at Joe! Pulling a Levante Trofeo out of his back pocket in Austin! Didn’t expect to see this today. Awesome Joe. Don’t like the price? Wait three years and you can pick one up for 75 to 80k with low miles. That’s how I bought my 17 Gran Turismo.

[@RaitisRides]

Thanks Michael for letting me bring it to you!

[@martintokinaga5261]

Are you sure the maintenance required cost is worth buying a 3 years old Maserati ?

[@chabbysrides]

@@martintokinaga5261 I don’t have an issue with the maintenance costs. Those costs are the same for a new car and you save on the depreciation. Plus you still have another year of factory warranty and I got a two year CPO from Maserati.

[@martintokinaga5261]

@@chabbysrides This is simply not true. There are standard maintenance requirement for cars at 40K, 60K...etc Some specific parts are recommended to be changed by the manufacturer. If you don't change those, you don't get any warranty left, if any. These maintenance normally started around 3-4 years or reaching 40k. Even the tyres, brake pads are required to be changed. So buying a 3-4 years old car means you inherited these costs very soon. No, you don't spend these when the car is new.

[@LS1007]

I’ve noticed the Italian manufacturers use small V8’s with turbos that are the size of others V6’s. I guess the engine compartments being smaller is the reason. 230MPH Speedo is kinda funny. The paddle shifters are the size that all paddle shifters should be. Thanks for the ride Joe and great job Lori!! 👍🏻👍🏻🇮🇹🇺🇸

[@blairbrown4812]

Since Maserati is under the same umbrella as Dodge,Ram and Jeep,I have a great deal of confidence that the Levante will share the same heritage with those performance-minded giants,albeit with European refinement and Italian passion. Quick aside:Chrysler used to own Lamborghini and borrowed from their engineering experience and expertise to convert their cast-iron block V-10, which was designed for trucks, and told Lamborghini engineers to make it suitable for the future Dodge Viper. You can still find traces of that heritage in the Hellcat editions of the Dodge,Jeep and Ram.

I have a Levante and it’s not in the same ball park as the Urus. It’s a fun nice car but there’s a reason sticker is 154 and within two years it will be under 100. The urus pays attention to the details. That’s why used urus models still sell for over MSRP.

[@Duramaxcho]

I leased a Levante when they first came out back in ‘17. Mine was the base version but it had nearly $20K in options. It was the showroom floor Levante so it had to be beautiful obviously. Let me tell you something, if don’t option it out, the interior is ugly. It looks like you’re driving a $10K car. So remember people, if you buy/lease this, you’ll want to add options to actually make the interior feel luxurious. And like Porsche, they’ll nickel and dime you for EVERYTHING. You’ll understand what I mean when they give you a plain loaner to drive during your service. It’s horrid lol. Now all the good stuff. The braking, handling, exterior styling, engine and especially the SOUND is what you expect from Maserati. Definitely a head turner. I was getting compliments EVERYWHERE I went. I couldn’t tell you how many people would walk up to me and start asking questions. I miss those days. 🙂

[@JacobVichique]

Thank you for mentioning the Texas dust Joe! Reminding me that I need to clean our vehicles... Everything is graphene coated and I usually detail with the hybrid solution ceramic spray from turtle wax. I have yet to find a good anti static coating that holds up to Texas heat and dust they usually show on the glass and flatten the depth of paint. Love the Continental's as well they hold up better than Michelin performance tires and no complaints on the performance offerings from Hankook. Also haven't had good experiences driving under the hot sun and then getting caught in a quick heavy downpour with Pirelli tires. That keyfob looks heavy. 🤣We make our sauce real ... Absolutely!
