725hp Ferrari SUV: £400k Purosangue Review

This is the Ferrari Purosangue!

It’s Ferrari’s first SUV (even though they don’t officially call it an SUV), and Mat’s about to find out if it can compete with class-leading performance SUVs like the Lamborghini Urus, Aston Martin DBX and Bentley Bentayga!

When it comes to the design, it looks like a pretty imposing piece of kit. Up front, the slim DRLs sit separate from the main headlamps, and there are several vents which all serve a real purpose. Along the side, you’ll find even more vents, and if anything we think the side profile makes the Purosangue look more like a long hatchback than a proper SUV! Around the back, there are several intricate designs, even more vents, and a glorious set of quad tailpipes.

Step inside and the Purosangue is a seriously nice place to be. The driver has a huge digital dial screen, and there’s even a separate screen on the dash for the passenger! The digital dial screen works like an infotainment screen for the driver, although the fact that it’s all controlled through touch-sensitive buttons is a bit annoying. The minimalist button design on the centre console is a nice touch, and back seat passengers are also treated to the same figure-hugging sports seats as found in the front.

There’s only one engine to choose from, but it’s a beauty - a 6.5-litre naturally-aspirated V12 that delivers 725hp and 716Nm! What’s more, it’s the only SUV in the world that comes with a V12 as standard!

But of course, it’s a Ferrari, so it doesn’t come cheap. The price starts at around £313,000, but the car we have here (which has had a load of options added) costs an eye-watering £430,000!! So is it worth it? You’ll need to stick with Mat and see for yourself!

Ferrari claims the Purosangue isn't an SUV! But what do you think? VOTE below!

Rest in peace to former Ferrari CEO, Sergio "you'd have to shoot me before Ferrari made an SUV" Marchionne.

0:12 that view looks kinda hilarious. It looks like a small city hatchback, with huge wheels and they doubled the overall size. That little head sticking out of the window is the cherry on top.

it was between this and a Polo and this video has definitely swayed me to this. Thanks!

I do love how the put a N/A V12 in it during the era of hybridization/electrification and called it a "Pure Blood" 😅 I'll give them props for that one.

[GrandSil]

I really thought he's gonna launch it on grass lmfao

"Lotus from years ago" 😂
Mat just saved his skin

[potlakomonageng]

[Secretone]

I thoroughly appreciate you mentioning Citroën everytime a manufacturer makes those headlights 😂

[ewan]

I love how this SUV is not even near to the weight of the new m5

[mitchellsteindler]

It's the definition of a crossover

[ducknorris]

Anyone else think that gear selector looks like it was made for ants? It needs to be at least 3 times larger.😊

4:26 Now Matt, you know why some of us are mad about analog rev counter, it ensures it's always there for optimum car experience even with extra features.

This is a great tribute to Mazda's KODO design language.
