Maserati Levante review: is a Maserati SUV a good idea? We find out...

Whatever you think about the way it looks and what it means for the famous Italian brand, the Maserati Levante exists and we all have to deal with it. The key question is whether or not Maserati's first SUV is any good and that's what James Batchelor aims to find out...

After having watched the video, I still don't know what this car actually looks like. Good job Auto Express. Reviewing an Italian car with 3 seconds of wide shots, and not even a proper shot of the interior without this dude whining about some crap.

How many people went "ahh fuck." when they saw it was him...

This guy is so uniquely unlikeable. I don't know how he does it.

What a great review. James improved A LOT since his review of Renault Megane. Also, finally it's properly filmed and edited. The script is not boring and the review is detailed and long enough. Well done, AutoExpress. I almost lose hope in you when you release yet another 3-minute review recorded on a potato, but these reviews show that you are capable of proper stuff if you want to.

I don't understand why people aren't happy with him reviewing. He's great. I'm not paid to say this. I don't even know his name! 😂

This guy is a good reviewer. I'd like to see all the people complaining try to review cars

If Porsche can build a monstrosity that is the Cayenne, then by all means, go for it Maserati! It is gorgeous, a response to what the market demands. The brand has to stay profitable.

Yes we can see how refined it is @5:22 when you press that button, whole mid console moves... top notch quality.

the guys not too bad. give him a chance.

[targaflorio]

Really hope this is a success for Maserati so they can build the next generation of cars; the Alfieri and GT replacement.

[MrKsk]

He ruined Carbuyer and now he's ruining Auto Express...I can't stand this guy!

[peter]

[GlossaME]

It's Tiff Needell's son?....oh joy....

Not one single overview shot of the interior. Horrible review!

[appelpower]

Beautiful for an SUV, ugly for a MaseratI: the Levante is to Maserati what merchandise is to Ferrari. Purists call it blasphemy, and it *is* stretching the heritage, but it will ultimately bring in revenue and customers to fund the development of 'proper' cars. One might call this the 'Cayenne effect', after the car that Porsche quite possibly owes its current healthy state to. For that, I approve of the Levante, as much as I dislike the car itself.

+Auto Express dont listen to the haters this guy is good adt rewieving cars. Keep up the good work buddy dont listen to haters

[Phildouf]

Love the production (drone, moving interior views, camera above driver's shoulder, music, etc.) I hope it's not some supported ad by Maserati and hopefully we'll see this quality in other reviews! As for James, keep up the good work despite the haters!
