What do you think of the Levante?
Back looks like a subaru wrx hatch
Id rather have a sedan.
I personally like it a bit, it's not super amazing looking but i'm just not super into it.
a bit stelvio quadrifoglioish
It looks and sounds really good!
scroll wheel: I'm luxury
2x scroll scroll wheel: I'm about to end this man's whole career
"Everyone I've met like the word Maserati"
Have you met Doug Demuro?
LOL! At 5:23 he says “In somebody else’s TH-cam videos about Maserati I saw a lot of negative things”. That was 100% about Doug.
Actually yes, we have. Such a nice guy
"The Maserati Levante Trofeo Is Surprisingly Good" Doug Demuro
Doug just gives his opinion tbh I don’t think he doesn’t fair car reviews lol if he likes the car then its the perfect car but if he doesn’t then there isn’t a worse car then that
@@mcmbanks9635 yeah but the interior is shit
A similar head rest system is used in other cars. It designed to help with whiplash if u get rear ended. If u get rear ended your back will push against the lumbar support forcing the headrest forward to prevent strain on your neck.
Was about to comment the same thing. It was introduced by SAAB like 20 years ago, dubbed "active head restraint" if I'm not mistaken.
Nissan uses it active head restraint...
this car is a record attempt at the fastest depreciating car ever
For real😂
Reliability problems like all Fiat autos
Bro I am Italian And I am from a small town next to Palermo, Villabate. I love everything Italy and I recently bought Alfa stelvio however the Alfa been dealer 5 times in 3 months.
30-40 years ago before Fiat bought them the car was more reliable however fiat aren’t reliable just check consumer report. Also is your 500 original model which were reliable and my uncle had one. I love starting the 500 with two levers.
Actually the Levante depreciates less than the Ghibli does I think. Newer Levantes with lower mileage are around 50-60k, but Ghiblis with lower mileage are
@footballcoreano Biggest joke of the world. Keep dreaming and cherry picking your data LMFAOO 😂😂
Left a straightpipes vid... to watch another straightpipes vid
Weve all been there
Literally same
5 points for gryffindor
IDK...i think amongst the enthusiast community, Maserati has about 0 brand cache right now. The Levante is clearly a pitch to capitalize on SUV sales, and i hope they can make some money on it and use that to start making compelling road cars again.
I agree, I think people who buy Maseratis are buying the badge to impress their rich neighbors.
Get a Porsche if you want a good car at this lofty price point ffs
Agreed. 15 years ago when you said Maserati people would be like oh man that's like as nice as a Ferrari. Now, when you say Maerati people just think it's an overpriced piece of junk with partsbin from FCA other cheaper cars.
Totally agree
Couldnt agree more. I dont know why anybody would pick it over a majority of its rivals.
Todd Stephens ok buddy no... my dad drives a Porsche Cayenne S and in the neighborhood behind me there are atleast a few (mainly because from typical driving I’ve seen multiple different Levante’s over time turn out) owners and in my area probably a solid amount. Most wealthy people here (it’s upper middle class to .1% so you kind of have a small variety, but still typically all nice cars) have Porsche SUV’s or Range Rovers. NO rich person buys vehicles to show off to another rich person who can more than likely purchase the exact same vehicle if they so please... your logic is making me laugh rn. Kids at my highschool before graduating last year drove G Wagons/amg varient, Jaguar F Type R/SVR’s, AMG’s, M5’s for some reason (not that anything is wrong with it.. it’s just only 2 M4 owners, but 13 M5’s owners lmao a few wrapped their cars same with the G Wagons idk if anyone wrapped their AMG’s tbh I don’t really look at them because their alright to me), Hellcats, one kid even drives it’s still his a red Lamborghini Huracan that he specced for his 16th birthday (he was a senior while I was a Sophomore I got to know him because we worked out at the same gym that’s also where he parks his car as it’s literally across the street and since it’s $150 a month typically only nice cars park there so I get it). I can go on for days lmao trust me these kids aren’t getting these cars to flex... it’s because their extremely wealthy and can get the vehicle they want. People who buy this SUV aren’t flexing when idk anyone atleast around here who would EVER prefer a Maserati over a Porsche. Everyone knows which is better lmao most have owned one. “Hey guys look at my dads Porsche Cayenne S haha bitches! Oh wait... your dad also owns a Porsche Cayenne S? Oh your dad owns an Audi R8? Or shit alright.” Lmfao I’m getting a C7 Corvette by the end of next month since I finished my freshman year of college am I getting that car because I want to flex? Or am I getting it because I absolutely love the car and we’ve been previous Corvette owners and I’ve always wanted to own one before I go for big brands? Not everyone in this world is trying to flex. For example even the people who shop at Louis Vuitton (you should see how the owners kids dress to school lmao two of them went to my school one is the Forbes child and the other kid his dad was married to one of the Forbes and when they divorced he got... well paid a nice 9 figure check and owns a piece of the mall it’s called Somorset in case you are curious). To someone like you. You’ll see that guy walking out with let’s say 4 Louis Vuitton bags. You’ll see him and think “wow what a showoff” not oh it’s just a wealthy guy going shopping. Now look in his perspective. He’s already shopped at basic stores. He is aware the quality isn’t the same. When your wealthy you have options vs what your budget allows. Here’s another example. If I talk to you about my two BMW’s and the Corvette and the fact that I’ll be selling both my BMW’s this year or early next to purchase a GTR so I can own both you might assume I’m flexing, however if I talk to a wealthy person instead of you they will understand what I’m talking about and if anything be stoked. We all live different lives and we’re all on different levels. No need to assume just because people on higher levels buy cooler shit automatically means their flexing. What’s the point in flexing on rich people? I’d like you to attempt to educate me there because that’s one of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard.
Yo dawg I heard you like scroll wheels so I put a scroll wheel on your scroll wheel so you can scroll while you scroll
Forget the car, that is the most beautiful engine I've ever seen.
*Reliability has just left the chat*
It's not 2007
@@steerj07 at the end of the day it is a Maserati. The 2018 Maserati Ghibli has already two recalls due to fuel system failure and parts of the frame breaking down. Plus Maserati is owned by Fiat now and two wrongs don't make it right ;)
maserati is just shit today
@footballcoreano i cant honestly tell if this is sarcasm or not lol
Abdullah Saleh imbecile. Maybe when they were in monetary trouble from 1980 to 2005, yes, they were pretty terrible. After that they were and still are great. You obviously don’t own one or know anything about cars. Now bounce out with your crap.
Side profile looks like the g35 based SUV's
Thanks for doing the Maserati!! I'm glad my suggestion for it and others suggestions are being listened too! 😊
I’m loving my red levante for 2 years now! Amazing cars
0:24 that old town road reference LOL
Hey StraightPipes watching your videos all the way from Denmark, and I love them. One thing that would take them over the top: you always speak about headlights and how the look, I would be awesome if you analysed how their worked. Maybe a short clip Og driving through cliche corner at night to watch the effects of adaptive headlightsor something like that 😊 for me, how headlights look is important, but how the light everything up, is even more important 😊 keep up the good work 😊
I gotta say you guys consistently put out interesting videos. Always a joy to watch!
Ay! I love you guys just figured out about you this week, I'm from Newfoundland! Canadian love 💯
Your channel is so great! Love your reviews!
FCA, Your infotainment system is your greatest asset. This is the fantastic execution of adapting Uconnect to this Maserati. Baffling is why you didn't adapt Uconnect to your Alphas?!!? ...The frameless windows are sweet.
Out of all the reviewers, you guys offer the most straight-up real reviews. You are obvious enthusiasts so (almost) all cars excite you, as they do me but, gripes are gripes and you lay those out there too. Additionally, you have great EXTERIOR shots while driving too! So many miss this part. Five stars, brothers.
I've watched this video like 10 times! I love your videos!! This review is very good, and complete and combined with the one made of the Trofeo, it confirms how good this GTS is! I'm craving one of these cars... in my country there's only one unit for sale, a 2019 new one! The exchange rate is so corrosive that you would end up paying like 350,000 USD in purchasing power for this GTS... it's just crazy! Engine, looks, suspension (air and double wishbone), brand, luxury interior feeling (doesn't matter if it feels old, luxury is luxury no matter the time), frameless windows, air and heating front seats, heated rear seats, rear electric curtains, Harman sound. The one here has the 4,000 leather and 4,000 wheels (add 35% of tax)! I hope I can buy the 1/1 available in my country. Saludos!!!
I just check TH-cam for TheStraightPipes. thanks, guys
Glad you pointed out the crank geometry right away, since it won't be as big an issue as people think when they stop using the Rari engines and put HEMIs in them
Hemi architecture requires just an absolutely massive block and head though. That's why they're not in anything except oversized Rams and oversized Challengers. Any car that can handle a corner can't handle the dimensions (or indeed the weight) of a Hemi. Somehow I doubt they'll make the same numbers using a Hemi. It'll weigh more, or it won't have the torque curve, or especially not the efficiency of the Ferrari built block. And Ferrari isn't exactly known for efficiency in the first place.
Just the fact that the crank setup is similar doesn't get around the inherent design limitations of the Hemi engine.
Loved the video, will you guys ever make jet tags or key chains?? Would totally buy one!!
Thank you for the Newtonmeters and Thumbs up for the slav squat!
The video paused for a Buick Encore ad. Couldn’t even tell.
Finally... I'm looking forward for this car to review 😀
Finally a Maserati video!! I’ve been waiting for this for sooo long!!
We add the tryzub in chicago too. love that you guys brought this up in the video!
You got my upvote for the nM torque specification inclusion.
Woah it's like a bad Alfa, for double the money.
Frank peterson you are right
I hope they make enough money out of it to build the Maserati Alfieri (see the concept car from 2014).
Lmao very true
Ive seen it a couple of times on the road and I always think its a Kia SUV.
@footballcoreano what the hell are you talking about, Fiat stands for "Fix it again Tony"
Love the Quadrifoglio, but gotta admit that I like the engine sounds of the Levante a bit more and like the Stelvio, I love the side profile. I think it's the rounded sloped rear that makes it look sportier to me. Thx for the entertaining review.
Just say hello to Yuri from another Yuriy, Portland Oregon. Nice job guys, keep going!
I love it, but it kinda reminds me Infinity in rear quarter just a bit. idk anyone else ?
Rip the dashboard out of the Chrysler 200 and throw it right into a Maserati, pure luxury.
i couldnt bring myself to buy this car..... the interior dash, the infotainment system is just pure cheap. fk that. rather buy a porsche
All Chrysler/fiat products are shit
robbyjai Uconnect is the gold standard of infotainment. How can they make it less “cheap”?
Disagree. Listen to their comparison of the Stelvio and this. You can tell they were engineered very differently despite the similarities. Maserati isn't fancy enough to have everything bespoke. That said, Id never ever ever buy a Maserati. Id sooner buy any Alfa.
@@robbyjai I would not buy it but the infotainment is very nice stop pulling shit out your ass
Love the side view. They improved the infinti ex/fx look. Sorta Porsche look as well. Unique and classy
In dark metallic blue with that red would really stand out - great review as always :)
05:22 when he said in someone's video, he is talking about Doug Demuro haha
i turn off my adblock when i watch you just so i know that i support you guys
You the man
That "open"woven carbon inlay is one of the best new solution, I've seen these days. Hands down looking awesome.
Their chemistry on camera is honestly so amazing, I especially loved when they were talking about calling the car a Chrysler and Yuri said, "I like the world chrysler." I love how unscripted it feels!
Happy crimus, it's crismun, merry crisis, MERRY CHRYSLER.
RIP Vine
Ah, the good ol' days.
Jeremy Stig are we gonna pretend for even a second that that was actually funny
@@savagetuner2404 yes
When will u guys review the Audi R8 V10
Keep up the great work guys
Great video, approach with an open mind rather than automatically dismissing the SUV. Hopefully it will help fund a Maser sports car.
Is it summer yet guys, automotive driving aid test please!!
Also, when Yuri did the rev at Cliché Corner, I died
Same
Best car channel of youtube proud of being Canadians good job again boys👏👏👍
The best if you prefer the reviews being dominated by the infotainment systems!
Best is a bold statement great channel but car reviews aren’t everything i would argue Mighty Car Mods is the best car youtube channel
I am probably subscribe to 20 different car channel lol. I love these guys I think they do an incredible job and as you can read, I am mainly proud of them bc I am canadian myself.
Dave Pelletier iget that i am also a fellow Canadian
Another Great video guys, nice to see a left field car being reviewed :D
Any Lexus videos coming up?
You can thank Jeep for that infotainment center! They were the first FCA cars to use it and it was so great that they decided to put it in all of their future vehicles
i think you guys need a sunglasses sponsor because that would eliminate the need for visor tests.
OMG THAT UKRANIAN LOGO I HAD NO IDEA WHAT IT WAS FOR SO LONG! I thought it was some sort of secret society haha. And yeah it's all over Hamilton too.
Jakub looks like he's out for blood every time he floors a fast car and I love it.
Saw a couple, these look unreal in person, love the styling especially in black
Most crossover "suvs" just look like lifted hatchbacks....which is funny bc most ppl hate hatchbacks but everyone loves crossovers
This is literally my wife! I wanted to get her a wagon or a hatchback because they are most practical, but she insisted on an SUV. I got her a Volkswagen Tiguan, which is just a lifted Golf and she loves it. And she hates the Golf, because it's a hatchback.
@@ghost21501 yup, I drive a golf gti. I love it. I have seen Tiguans at car shows lowered, looks like a hatchback car.
When somebody tell me I should study instead of watching youtube videos: 4:47
No, you need to study, because you don't know how to spell 'watching".
@@vernonprice5986 Oh man
The BMW’s key fobs are also linked to individual drivers seats and preset stereo settings. It’s on my 2013 E92 M3.
Guys, I really enjoy your content. The reason I can never bring myself to click the SUBSCRIBE button is because you don't produce enough content. Perhaps all the other lurkers feel the same way. Maybe 3 videos per week would tip me/us over the edge.
Yes I would buy one but stick with the 424 hp version
I already know this is going to be a great review before watching
Great review, and as always, I pretty much agree with everything you both say. My only additional comment would be to buy one when it's 18 months + old and you'll benefit hugely from their initial depreciation and bag yourself an incredible bargain!!!
The "headrest affecting the lumbar" is a safety thing, if there's an accident scenario where you're suddenly pushed back your body being pushed into the seat pops the headrest forward in an attempt to prevent your neck from snapping back to much. It's something Volvo pioneered but now many cars do it, even my old Fit seats did that.
Definitely one of the nicer looking suvs. But I hate the rear of the mazeratis
The Buick/ Walmart fake vents on the side kill me.... Hate em.
I love it when you review FCA stuff, Trofeo or the Quadrafolio, I wanna see the Gran Turismo
I saw this car on the street today and dam the exhaust sounds super aggressive😍
To me, it feels like if this car didn't have a cool name and emblem, no one would have bought it even for half the money..
The interior is not even as good as the palisade or cx-9
Maserati is crap
Honestly the new Mercedes A Class has a better interior than this... shocking for the price of the thing, everything just looks cheap and dated
Couldnt have said it better, just looking st yt from the outside it looks like any other SUV you see ....nothing special , I've seen nicer interiors in jeep cherokees
I wish you guys focused more on the interior and special features. Other than that your reviews are really entertaining
We did exactly that lol
Thanks for telling me the tourqe in NM, helped a lot
Just a heads up, the headrest thing is for the whiplash seats. If you get hit in the rear of the car, your back pushes on the lumbar and the headrest bends forward to help your head/neck.
Apart from the front, I do not like the look of this Maserati in general. It has a great engine and sound, but in my opinion that does not make up for it. But as always great video.
I like it - looks, performance, luxury, all. But me go TRACKHAWK. 😃
Very good review and I like the compares you did. I also would get the track hawk for the money and just take the name badge off.
The driver profile (seat+audio settings) has been an FCA/Uconnect thing for a while. My 2017 Jeep does the same thing.
Something about daily driving an italian car does not seem like a good day. And spending all that money for an fca interior seems not smart either. But i do admit it looks and sounds good.
OK ok so early I am here!!!! What should I post?
Nice video! I currently own this levante LOL!
Squat game on point!
"Wow, you have a Maserati?!?!"
Guess it sounds better than : "Wow you have a Chrysler owned car and you paid over $100K for it?!?!?"
Chrysler owned??? Fiat owns chrysler and Fiat owns Maserati.
By that logic, buying an Aventador would be "Wow you have a Volkswagen owned car and you paid over $400K for it?!?!?"
This dude probably is driving a Toyota Camry and trying so hard to justify for his purchase =))
Only Volkswagen is half decent. Chrysler and fiat are not. That type of argument actually works here. For the first time ever 😂
Sam W. sounds more like “wow I can’t afford Maserati but let’s call it a Chrysler to make myself feel better”
The levante looks really good but I feel like if the wheel arches were painted black to make it more SUV like it would make the rear 3/4 look less bulky/ underwheeled
The headrests are like that for rear-crash protection. When your body is pushed back into the seat, the headrests are thrust forward to keep your spine aligned in the event of an accident. It’s called an active head restraint!
Great video, could you possibly review the GranTurismo?
Personally I wouldn’t buy anything from FCA cuz of reliability issues. But I guess with a lot of money it doesn’t really matter
footballcoreano this is a joke right? I don’t wanna get r/woooshed
Heels up high
Western Spy
Heels on ground
Comrade found
I feel like this car competes with the Jaguar F-Pace R. I'd love to see you guys review that and compare. Great work!
My Acura has the little light up notches next to the numbers in the dashboard too
LOL Yuri repping his Ukrainian heritage. I've never seen anyone down here in California put that symbol on their car, but I've seen the Decepticon symbol a few times. I do like your symbol though, as I looked it up and it's the Ukrainian coat of arms, very impressive. So we can call you Sir Yuri . . . well when you get a Prowler.
Aaaahh maserati. Most of the time would be on a mechanic's hands. ✌️
U must drive a Camry.
@@Natethegreat200c nope. But that camry runs forever unlike maserati unless u have thousands of cash for the repairs! 🤣
@@Natethegreat200c I drive a Volvo and he's correct. Italian cars are shit.
God Emperor of Mankind so is every exciting car. If we lived multiple lives then I’ll drive a Toyota but we only get this one life and if you wanna spend it in a Prius then that’s on you.
God Emperor of Mankind and Volvo is COMPLETELY SHIT Chinese owned. Get out of here with that bullshit
The font used for the gauges is GOST type B.
Guys, please make a review of the Levante Modena S V8! It's almost the same, but certainly you guys can find a lot more things to say, and by the reactions reviewing the Trofeo, I'm sure new discoveries will flourish ! Love this channel God Dammed!
Almost fell off the chair when I saw the price tag. $155K for a FCA?
vandee lore $320k in Australia
They are easily 30-45K off at the end of the season and normal discounts are usually at least 10-15K off.
People pay millions for Bugatti but it's only a VW right?
@@timtime88 That's because Bugatti is a fast (But somewhat of a boat car) But Maserati doesn't any class in terms of speed or luxury (Or even reliability for that matter)
Fca is Ferrari also
0:27 old town road easter egg
No it's 0:26
I remember when this channel has less than 100k subs.. Holy shit you guys have done well.
I don't know.. I really want to like Maserati, but there isn't enough for me to like. I think for cars like these, looks/aesthetic is important, and as soon as I see the headlights I'm not in awe. Unfortunately Maserati really isn't for me. One time I was working at a hospital and I was crossing the campus, and a Maserati GT rolled on by a high pedestrian traffic area and the rumble of the engine brightened up my day. It sounded amazing going 5 mph.
Drive a Cayenne, need a second SUV, I can not convince myself to get a Levante....it does not get me... Inside is cheap....I love my Porsche Cayenne...I am thinking to get a second Cayenne or a Levante
Do you guys review a BMW M8 soon?
“Maw-Zer-Aw-Tea”
Needed Maserati Levante Trofeo Reviews
I wait every week to see what are the 2 new car you will review
I am very happy that Yuri is ukrainian and not russian! slava ukraini heroyam slava from Georgia!
So this is just an Alfa Stelvio??? FCA owned, Ferrari engine, similar body lines...
Well, you can't get a V8 in the Stelvio. Also, this one has more power (550 compared to 510 hp). Not that it would matter.
@@Jojo21453 And I didn't realize both of those are FCA owned before these videos... I'm generally very against their products. Unless these manufacturers have got to retain their freedom without too much interference from FCA at the top, I think I'd feel better.
@@justinjones1644 I understand, but If Maserati was more independent from FCA, same with Alfa, I would highly doubt that they could price them competitive to the other brands in the market. The whole concept of having the different Brands under one big umbrella is, at least as far as I know, to deliver Cars with very different Brand images to cater to all the markets, while keeping the costs lower, by sharing lots ans lots of parts, not just drivetrain and suspension, but also all the small interior bits and pieces like window switches...
And even if the interior of the new Levante looks like it has been ripped out od a Chrysler 200 with some aluminium accents spit on it, I would still rather take that than either not being able to buy Alfas ans Maseratis at all or them making their own most likely pretty crappy interior.
Anyhow, of course I would, like you, prefer if they there could be more diverse car companies, but it just seems that the market today is so competitive, that there is no room for such companies like that. Sadly.
When you reach 1 million subs will you do a compilation of all the cars that did and did not past the visor test?
You guys should review the Quattroporte
