little bit like pavarotti belting out
nesendorma from the leaning tower of
pisa while scoffing some spaghetti
bolognese it couldn't be more italian
especially when you compare it to the
german high-performance suvs like the
bmw x6m or the porsche kn now in this
video i'm going to tell you all about
the upgrades this car has over the
normal levante which is a bit of a meh

maserati levante trafeo
it's a bit more expensive than the
standard car starts at
125 000 pounds so what are you getting
for your cash maserati's designers have
added some extra bits of sporty trim to
the strafer model so you get a more
aggressive deeper rear bumper with a
fake diffuser believe me that does
nothing but you also get real carbon
fiber near the exhaust and there's quad
tail pipes as well there's also an
extended roof spoiler make it look more
sporty than standard car i should point
this out though this is the 20 model
year there's now a 21 model year levante
trafeo and it has slightly different
tail lights that's any difference the
key changes at the side include a trafeo
maserati badge black alloy wheels
standard you get 21 inches but you can
upgrade to 22s if you need that extra
inch also you get yellow brake calipers
nothing says sporty like yellow brake
calipers another key feature this look
carbon fiber side skirts it's hard to
tell the carbon fiber because they're
covered in grime it's not that we
couldn't be bothered to clean the car we
actually just upgraded to the optional
grime pack looks good on suvs you've got
some silver surrounds here on the wings
i'm not sure these vents actually do
anything though they're not completely
fake now on the 21 model yeah these are
in red you might be thinking might you
keep on going on about this 21 model
year car won't you just review that
instead well it's because the press
office don't have it on their fleet yet
even though it's on sale so they send us
this one oh well the most obvious
changes to the trophee here at the front
so you've got a much more aggressive
front bumper you've got bigger air
intakes a carbon fiber front splitter
there's some carbon fiber strikes here
as well and some air vents to help the
air flow over the wheels and down the
side of the car make it more aerodynamic
though i think it's going to help too
much you've also got these grill slats
just in black now and led matrix
headlights which will blank out part of
their beam so you don't dazzle on
drivers gets a new bonnet as well with
these air vents in here on the inside
the drafea model gets these big carbon
fiber paddle shifters you also get
common fiber trim here and here on the
door as well there's also trafeo floor
mats with a metal trefair badge on them
you also get a bespoke cloth for the
trophere model but the most important
thing are the trofeo seats these are
trimmed in lovely leather they feel
great to sit in and you get the troffeo
emblem there on the headdress as well
other than that it's just like a normal
maserati levante's cabin which means
that it sort of looks a bit
old-fashioned quality is generally
pretty solid though lots of leather
everywhere and storage is actually
really good look at that that's huge
that center console got some cup holders
here another storage area here with your
usbs a big glove box and a decent sized
door bin now the infotainment system
it's okay though once again it's been
the 2020 model it's actually been
updated for 2021 you get a slightly
different infotainment system the dials
analog dars for your rev counter and
your speedo though you do have a digital
display in between them here in the back
it's just like a normal levant in terms
of space so absolutely fine though with
the glass roof the headroom is limited
slightly but i'm still okay and people
over six foot will just about be fine but
but
as in the front you get the lovely super
duper soft high quality leather
i love these seats actually it's a bit
like you just sat on some really
expensive italian furniture it does feel
special more so than the equivalent germans
germans
before we talk about the boots i just
want to shout out to that number plate v8
v8
maserati or you could interpret that as
mighty still applicable so the capacity
is the same unsurprisingly as the normal
levante so you've got 580 liters and
it's a nice square usable shape and you
can fit in seven of these size carry-on
cases and they're easy to slide out
because there's no load lip however if
you needed to carry an extra 18 liters
you'd be a bit stuck wouldn't you and
therefore you'd probably want a porsche
cayenne coupe because it's big capacity
it's 598 liters and that handily brings
me on to five annoying things about this
maserati levante trafeo
if you want digital climate control for
the rear seats you have to pay an extra
1100 pounds which seems a little bit
mean when this car actually costs 125
grand to start with
this tricolore stripe it is painted on
so it's not a stick which is good what's
not so good though is that it doesn't
quite line up with the one on the roof
it feels like this should be a bit
further over that's especially annoying
when you consider it's an eight and a
half thousand pound option
european versions of the maserati
levante rafael are slightly less
powerful have a slightly lower top speed
and a little less quick to 60 miles an
hour than equivalents sold in the rest
of the world for whatever reason the car
key is really really heavy now this does
make it feel expensive but it's a real
pain to carry it around in your pocket
let you see just how heavy it is you
can't tell by just looking at it listen
to this ow
ow ow
ow
ow what am i doing that
if your neighbor buys one of these cars
you might find it really annoying when
they start it first thing in the morning
actually the way this sounds is a good
thing and that brings me on to five cool
features about this maserati
the troffeo has upgraded brakes over the
normal levante so you have six piston
calipers at the front and 380 millimeter
discs the discs at the back are 330
millimeters also maserati has tuned the
car's abs system to just make it a
little bit more sporty
you get a limited slip differential at
the rear axle to help make sure that the
tyre with the most grip gets the most
power that also helps in slingshotting
you out of the corner
as well as the normal and sport driving
mode you also get a coarser driving mode
of course there is italian for a race
and that sets the car up in its most
aggressive settings for some really
serious driving
the car's height adjustable air
suspension has been recalibrated so it's
stiffer than on the normal avante and
when you go in the car's sportiest
setting it lowers down by 35 millimeters
also the four-wheel drive system
normally drives along in rear drive only
but it can send 50 of the power to the
front wheels if you need that extra grip
this is the reason you buy this suv what
we have here is a ferrari 3.8 liter twin
turbo v8 now maserati has changed a few
of the internals and some of the
ancillaries but this engine was built in
marine airline look at it as well you
can tell it's got like the red rocker
covers that you expect in a ferrari it's
pretty much the same engine as in the
port athena the performance is good as
well 580 horsepower and 730 newton
meters of torque okay i'm going to
launch this thing see how quickly it
will do not to 60 miles an hour supposed
to do it in 4.1 seconds but what's the
reality says launch it put it into drive
pull up on the left paddle
[Music] oh
oh
the italians
lied they absolutely lied whoa
not 60
3.8 seconds that is well quick i thought
it was going to be slow than they
claimed that's normally how the italians
were but
oh no
that's nuts
let's be honest this is a big heavy suv
weighs over 2.1 tons but it's a sporty
suv so let's see what it's like on a
twisty road i'm going to put the drive
select mode into sport factory press it
again going to
coarser so it's going to reduce my
safety systems a bit and lower the
suspension as well as stiffening it and
adding weight to the steering so this
all-wheel drive system is mainly rear
drive when you're just driving along
normally and then if it detects some
slip it will send some power to the
front wheels for a big old thing it goes
on corners pretty well while the
suspension has got stiffer it doesn't
feel overly stiff and it does feel a bit
lively this thing but this engine is
just insanely good
oh i love it perhaps any weakness really
is the steering i'm not really feeling
much through it just seems artificial
but this car is gripping and it's not
leaning much in these bends it's all
about the engine though really you just
buy this car for the engine you want an
suv you want a ferrari bread engine
oh the response and the sound
this sounds better than the german v8s
it just does and the rest of the car is
just about good enough to make it
acceptable you can have a bit of fun in
this big brute though i do think that an
audi rsq8 is just sharper to drive and
if you click on the pop-up banner up
there you can watch my full in-depth
video review of that car
all right let's see what this maserati
levante troffeo is like on the motorway
this car is fitted with the optional
upgraded cruise control system so it'll
do that thing where it'll keep you a
safe distance from the car in front and
steer to keep you in line so let's just
try it out i'll just engage it now there
we go put the auto steer on
so we're engaged i can alter the
distance on from the car in front by
pressing this button and it will change
that distance bring my speed up make a
bit quicker the way the steering works
oh it's complaining because i'm not
touching the steering wheel and rightly
so the way it works is it's a bit jerky
the way it does it to keep you in line
it's not the smoothest could be better
for that 2 500 pounds price really it
works fine enough and if you're doing
long distances in this car it is an
option you're probably going to want to
tick let's face it options on a maserati
you can't expect them to be cheap no
matter what they are
finally let's see what this levante
troffeo is like around town do you know
what i thought the suspension would be a
disaster at low speed but it's not it
actually goes over bumps pretty well it
does have a firm edge to it so you do
get rocked side to side occasionally
when you hit a bump but it's not bad
it's all right they're doing a decent
job and there's a certain way to drive
this car it's it's like this in town
that's just at the right height this
armrest here's at the right height it's
it's perfect can i get around the mini
roundabout you doing doing it this way
though trying to remain cool
oh oh no
oh no i'm gonna have to mount a curb the
turning circle isn't quite good enough
and i've lost my call because
i've had to sit forward like a normal
person thankfully the steering is really
light so not so great when you're going
really quickly which is kind of the idea
with this car but round town brilliant
i'm going to do something else back to
the front as well that's the gear shift
so now i'm going to change the pedals
actually it's pretty decent mould delay
look press the button
change up i wouldn't bother running it
in manual mode this is just going to
drive in auto it's brilliant in auto
this gearbox yeah yeah we go back to the
right position there we are yeah in my
levante trafeo
my sporty suv let's go around come on i
can do it there we go that's i'm still
[Music]
cool so then what's my final verdict on
the maserati levante trafeo should you
avoid it should you consider it should
you shortlist it or should you just go
right ahead and buy it well i reckon you
should shortlist it it's got a fabulous
engine which is reason enough to buy it
alone yet the rest of the car is
actually pretty good as well
i'm surprised i thought it was going to
be crap but it's actually really rather good
good
