The Levante Trofeo is the Best Modern Maserati - Two Takes

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Win a dream road trip across the Pacific Northwest in a C8 Corvette right here (Ends 6/4/20): www.omaze.com/TST
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.

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!

    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.

    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.

    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!
