If you read the spec sheet to someone: a 590 HP Ferrari-built 3.8L V8, perfect 50/50 weight distribution, double-wishbone front and multilink rear suspension, heavily rear-biased AWD, and 0-60 in 3.8 seconds with a top speed of 187, they would probably think you were talking about an exotic sport GT, not a Sport Utility Vehicle. But here we are, and the Levante Trofeo, even with some of its typical Maserati quirks, shocks both Zack and Matt with its dynamics on the road. It's Maserati's most modern-feeling car by a mile. And with power and space comparable to the BMW X5M or Cayenne Turbo, but hauling just over the curb weight of the much smaller X3M or Macan Turbo, the Levante Trofeo isn't just a fun to drive SUV, it's a ton of fun, period.
Maserati of North America provided the vehicle, insurance, and a tank of fuel for this review. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ

Two takes is way better than the one takes. Keep doing it.
100%
He should try three takes
@@fbisecretagent6910 Yeah, with Vinny!
All Matt.
Wish he would do the Tuner show again, was amazing to watch.
Years of normal society: reviews in solitude
During a global pandemic: review together
😂👍🏻
It looks like you guys really did have a blast in this one. I've gotten used to Zack's One Takes and seeing you two review the same cars and calling it "Twok Takes" could be your next hit. Seeing Matt's analysis while Zack is driving. And reviewing Zacks reactions while Matt is driving puts everything together really well! Excited for the live cast. Stay Full and Healthy!
lukasz Bielanin they play off each other so well
I closed my eyes during the description and said amen to FCA at the end. Trofeo, Trackhawk, and Quadrifoglio are the holy trinity.
would love to see a head to head to head.
RSQ8
FX not FCA
The Giulia/Stelvio QV are something special
I would probably just say SRT instead of TrackHawk since that name is only used in the Jeep Grand Cherokee.
I love watching the both of you individually, but the two of you together is always a treat.
This a the first Maserati one take ever done by TheSmokingTire
Two takes*
Christian Alley correct but where is the two take lol its same car no ?
@@rider_ringz5381 I believe they called it two takes because both Zach and Matt are in the car as opposed to one or the other. At least that's my assumption
Christian Alley true I thought that also as they usually do there own set of one takes
If this is what Maserati can do with a large SUV, I can't wait for the MC20 they've been teasing
This MC20 will be something! Starting by not looking like a modificated 458 chassis! And the proportions are super cool!
650hp and 3000lb under 200k€ is something too.
@@gustavoflorio5383 The chassis is based on the 4C.
The amount of cash you can get on the hood of Trofeo's is hysterical. There is a brand new 2019 Trofeo for sale in Maryland with $42,000 off sticker.
In fairness, Maserati lowered the price of the truck a LOT between when it was launched and now. At launch it was $175k. The window sticker on mine was $147k. Not sure if they changed the price for MY19 or 20, but I wouldn't be surprised if cash on the hood brings the leftover 19 model in line with the 2020 pricing.
what does "cash on the hood? mean?
@@Tinydevil12 a discounted asking price
Because it's a Maserati. Maserati is the lowest ranked car manufacturer. You'll hear "you can get a $130,000 Maserati for $40,000" because Maserati are pretty horrible cars for the price. They are overrated cars with a Toyota Camry level interior with the reliability of a Mini.
It would be more uncommon to see a used maserati at anything other than -%50 base price.
Rubbarz do u own one or have spent any significant time in one?
Glorious V8 engine, rwd most of the time, and a gorgeous exterior. Love the dynamics. Only complaint is the interior and or price. Damn that engine sounds good though
The Smile on Zach’s face when Matt first pulls off says it all.
7:30 *theStraightPipe boys just joined the chat*
Next time we need the visor test
Too bad there's no Tim Horton's in California ☕
I love the 2 takes. It's the podcast vibe in-car. Thank you TheSmokingTire
Ever since I saw both of you in the mini I thought yes we definitely need this. To have a video that visualizes the opinions we love to hear on the podcast is a automatic win. Keep it up.
The chemistry y’all have built on the podcast shines through really well here. Good episode guys!
OMG the two of you together is so much more great then either of you solo. Keep this format up! And stay safe in Cali, friends!
I hope that these "2 guys, 1 take" videos do well enough to justify more. The conversational nature makes it fun to watch all the way through. Thanks guys!
You know that Matt is going really fast when Zack giggles!
YES ON THIS FORMAT -- CAR POWER COUPLE !
I really like these Two Takes guys!
Really like having Zack along for the ride, really enjoy the details you shared, really don't like the price because I would love one of these. Stay safe guys!
Absolutely adore this car. Cheers from Italy guys 🙌🏼
love the two take....do more of these please!!!!!!
Hi guys, I really enjoy when you guys do the vids together! It works really well
what an epic fast flowing road
It looks beautiful from every angle! Sound great too!
This was great! Hope to see more team-ups.
This two take was far more enjoyable than I expected it to be...
And you guys gotta drive the Urus on the road and tell us about it
jheez dude your mobbing the bends in that thing, I love it, awesome vid
Love the “two takes”!
Yo these twin takes are sweet! It's like a bit of the podcast in the one take
Really love that word 'talkative' to explain the handling feel. I'm going to steal it unashamedly.
Finally a fun to drive Maserati
Two takes are most defiantly better than one, it's like mini version of the podcast in a car.
Great review about very rare car! Thank you very much! The car looks really good, by the way!
I watched this video and immediately called our broker about availability. In my opinion up until now the last great Maseratis were the Bora and Ghibli SS. I own a blue over saddle leather 1970 SS that is an unrestored survivor with 38k miles. With the exception of tires, tune up parts, a headliner and other maintenance parts is all original and beautiful. Not just one of the greatest Maseratis of all time but one of the best GT cars of the era. Quite robust too for and old car. I got it from an estate sale with 29k miles and after a refurbish to make it road worthy have put 11k miles on it with almost no issues whatsoever. Matt not only do l enjoy your show l have used it as a bit if a buyers guide. A few months after your review an Alfa Montreal found it's way into my stable (every bit as fabulous as you said if not more so!) and just this past Monday took delivery of our Taycan Turbo S. So l'm curious to see how the Levante Trofeo feels in person. Thanks!
Got to say, that's a good looking SUV. Looks fast as well!
You guys are soon lucky to have this ROAD to drive!😎
Loving two takes is so good way better with both of you
This format with both of you in the car is way better.
Looking forward to a Ghibli Trofeo review one day, seems like that car will be a good one with this engine.
I'm glad Matt is giving this fast espresso a go! Maserati boys are given a break here!
Todd and Paul from everyday driver figured it out with the podcast style reviews with both of them in the car. This is another example of it working very well
Stelvio QV comparison please! Great video
Do you know the real curb weight? You can tell it's light on it's feet by the way you were throwing it around. Just wondering if there is any Italian measuring going on at all.
BEAUTIFUL ROAD!! Skyhook suspension was on the original Maserati Quattroporte sedan that shared the Ferrari Scageletti body
Great review as always. It's a curious car as its the same price in the UK as a Cayenne Turbo or RSQ8 Vorsprung but seemingly lighter with slightly less power. Have you had a drive of the RSQ8 and if so, which would be your preference?
Have not driven RSQ8. Lots of time in Cayenne Turbo's (including Hybrid) and I prefer dynamics of Maserati, although I prefer interior of POrsche.
They up ticked from lease to buy for many markets with the needed updates? IS it a Urus no this that and the new Aston need a challenge.
How does this compare to the Jaguar F-Pace SVR or the Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio in terms of driving dynamics?
This thing could be a beast
The proportions of the SUV are excellent
I think that this is a little taste of what's to come from our friends at Maranello!
we've featured the GTS on our show let's roll out and this Levante is really good to drive. loved the sound too. she's a devil in a blue dress 😀😀😀😀😀😀
Owner of a 2017 Levante S. The slow(er) one. We just love it. Reliable, fun and fast. And like the "cash on the hood" comment on Masi prices, we got it in Ford Explorer territory.
Now we get to hope it stays reliable. lol!!! So far, very good.
All Alfa Romeo Stelvios have the same set up. Double wishbone front and multi link rear. It has really fast steering with the supple suspension. I love the Italians’ supple suspension set up. It’s just better and more rational on the road.
Which is a better giggle machine? Levante Trofeo or Jeep Trackhawk?
One month to the revealing of Grecale.. Will come in a Trofeo version as well
8:59 camera angle? Or cutting it real close to the other guy?
Is that Lake Hughes Road? Looks like a blast 👌👌
Italian V8's really do hit differently. None of them fake german pops, just raw exhaust.
One of the best driver's SUV on the market IMO (the other being Stelvio Q) Yeah interior, infotainment and technology might not be as good as in the rivals, but it's got everything you'll need. That's how they save on the weight and in return make it handle better.
Always the people that try to bash the brand has never seen a Maserati in person nor have ever owned one..I have a 2010 Quattroporte Sport GTS fully loaded to gills and full of carbon fiber (inside and out) on Grigio exterior paint with all red leather interior with Alcantara insert on gloss black 20inch staggered Maserati wheel wrapped with 245front 295rear Pirrelli tires and I wouldn't trade it for nothing.
Just happy to see the brand getting alittle love for a change instead of just being ok or not even that .
And also breaking in first 5 minutes
Lovely color
I like this car a lot! It seems really cool!
Great video guys...thanks.
Is it worth twice the price of a Stelvio Quadrofolio?
a ghibli with this drivetrain would be awesome
they must have read your comment because the are coming out with a v8 ghibli
Saw your Instagram about food . Did not know you do car reviews )
It has the same 8.4 inch chrysler group headunit (skinned ui). window controls from the chrysler group (same as my last car v6 charger). Weird seeing some similarities in a maserati. even the center console layout is reminiscent of a durango, grand cherokee. peep the headlight controls too.
Please do more takes with the two of you when schedule permits. They are leagues better than Matt by himself and even the One Takes with Zach. It has so much more fun of a fun, natural vibe than either of you on your own (or with some awkward car enthusiast in Zach's case).
This SUV is very appealing, sexy design. But new Maseratis are overpriced in my opinion, I’d wait about 2 years before buying one, then it starts to become more worth it I think. But for me personally I’d rather get the Stelvio QV
I think most people would since I feel the interior quality, not that it's amazing is far better than Maserati. I feel like Maserati is like the Dodge of exotic sports cars from Italy.
Give me a Macan GTS or an Audi RSQ8
Getting a Ferrari V8 that's based off the same architecture as the one in the 488GTB probably a decent chunk of that price premium.
Wouldn't buy it used. Would only buy it new or lease it under the full warranty. The repairs once something goes wrong buying used is going to be astronomical. If you're looking to save a buck or two, don't buy it used just buy an Alfa.
Kevin Zeng totally agree
mate which Brad are those glasses you wear....they blown my mind man
This is the BEST looking SUV right now.
Many Thanks,
Peace From London. 👍👍👍
Can you guys do a noise only sound plz? I am really considering buying this suv
Coming later this week!
what road is this need to take my jag there
Do a review of the gts version!!!
Zack's face at 5:22 is goals
Zak’s dinner joke killed me lol
I'd settle with just the V6 one. Levante is without a doubt one of the best looking SUV's.
Can’t wait to get one in 6 years for 50k and tune it.
What Ferrari is the engine derived from ? GTS means what in Ferrari talk what car is that I’m sure someone knows
Drive the new updated Alfa Romeo Stelvio quadrifoglio and compare them both Italian and I would like see which one you thinks better.
More Two Takes!
6 feet apart? Or 6 inches? :)
D-Da-Da-Damn! Ooo I want a sport cars SUV
Don't forget to check out the Novitec Channel Maserati Levante Esteso and Esteso V1, I think you are going to like that
11:00 double yellow eh?
I still only watch one takes that Matt does but I am more than happy to watch a double take that includes Zack !
A modern Maserati that's actually good?
Damn, now all they need to do is get the rest of their lineup in shape. Probably not a priority since pretty much everyone in the US only buys SUVs, but hey, maybe one day.
US is not the only country on Earth.
The mid-engined sports car concept they have been teasing looks promising
Almost like testing platform or trial for the Ferrari FUV
Is that a Morgan Shearling Coat???? You finally get to wear it again! Lol
You should never judge a sports coupe by the base model. If you would have driven the Ghibli S Q4 from 2014, you would have loved it. Better driving than the current Ghiblis. I had the first one delivered in NA and I loved it. But traded it for an Alfa QV, which I love more. I also have this Trofeo and it is amazing! Best Sports SUV on the market!
The interior and infotainment look sad for a 2020 car that costs 100k
Rush the Infotainment is probably the fastest most responsive unit I’ve ever used. Worked great. No complaints at all. Better than the Volvo “laser screen”
@@TheSmokingTire hopefully they bring the 12" screen into it from the Ram. That might help make it look the part
Hassan 2k Whiteside they didn’t really show much of the interior. Believe (I own one) the interior is nicer than anything it competes with. There are still some plastics that aren’t as nice as the others in the segment, but the quality of the leathers and stitching and the metal door pulls is phenomenal.
@@TheSmokingTire still not a 170K interior. Not even close.
Please drive a ghibli trofeo, it is what the ghibli should have been since day 1, same f154 ferrari engine, upgraded brakes, updated tech, rwd, 203 mph top speed, would like to hear your opinion. Thanks for all the great videos and information.
all the FCA cars nowadays look more and more attactive. I hope the sells goes up because their deserve a bigger place on our roads
Well they made car with passion. Great job. I pray for owners for reliability :) Now make 2+2 sports coupe with same DNA :)
They are making a two seater mid-engine car. Name is MC20. Go look at the last disguised prototype spotted. It looks great!
I would like to see the comparison between Maserati Levante trofeo and the BMW X4 M competition, if you could do that it would be awesome. 👌
We're not going to do a head-to-head, but I can tell you any "compteition" trim M-Car, especially M SUV, will be punishingly stiff.
@@TheSmokingTire In that matter you are right, but I would like you to have a look in cars.co.za the Drag races between the Alfa Romeo Stelvio and Jeep Cherokee Trackhawk which for me is the reference in terms of performance. Thanks for the answer 👍
I don’t know if it’s worth what they are asking for it, but used for under 100k after a bit of depreciation would make this excellent!
I hate how there's always some bullshit with Italian car reviews, like a clearly previously broken carbon fiber ashtray lid (which doesn't just break, some douche broke it on purpose because its a review car, and then just stuffed it in or superglued it in place so that someone else "breaks" it and takes the blame) , that gives the car a bad name and makes people think it has quality issues. It doesn't. Someone breaking something by misusing it is not a sign of a low quality car. Certainly not a car that has every single surface in the interior covered in finest leather, real metal, real carbon fiber, real wood, etc., and that doesn't have a single squeak, rattle or any feeling of lack of solidity. I've driven a 5 year old Ghibli with over 200k km's on the clock that felt as tight as a drum and whose owner literally didn't have a single expense for it other than regular servicing in his time of ownership, and I know the guy well and know he wouldn't bullshit me. The real quality is below the surface, in the mechanical parts and in the engineering. The drive-train is excellent from start to finish, the chassis is excellent, the body is excellent. It actually has the highest torsional stiffness of any large SUV. Italians are quite known for that, as the Alfa Romeos always boasted about it too, and still do to this day. For example the Giulia has the highest torsional stiffness of any executive sedan on the market, despite being one of the lightest. Alfa 159 before it was the same, it had a more rigid body than the E90 3 series, and you felt that when driving it. Same is true for the Maserati Ghibli in the large executive class. They make cars that are very, very solid, mechanically speaking, and then people ignore all that because of some small detail that happens to be broken on a review sample of a car that probably 100 people drove and abused just for the sake of it.
“Skyhook” is a term for a theoretically perfect suspension, the idea being that the car is moving as though it’s supported by a magic hook coming down from the sky.
