Italian or German?
No, I’m not asking about personal tastes at the opera.I need to know if you like the look of your car with a pasta plate or a spaetzle look.You know what I’m talking about: maserati vs Porsche’s classic enigma..
Well, then vintage is a stretch here. Porsche fights more naturally with Ferrari, but Maranello has not yet produced the SUV he promised.However, as Ferrari’s sister company, Maserati is a smart substitute, and the Levante is a forged look at what is expected of the FUV (that’s Ferrari’s app vehicle).
So I related Stuttgart’s masterpiece, the Cayenne GTS 2021, to one of the dogs in Bologna’s range, the Levante GTS.
So the Italian GTS the German GTS.What GTS governs the continent?
The shipping capacity of the Maserati Levante GTS is 21 cubic feet, moving to 57 cubic feet with the second row seats down, which is more than enough to satisfy my grocery shopping desires during the week in the suburbs.
My tester did not come with fuel-saving specifications, however, with this engine, I would expect less than 20 mpg combined, and that’s how my Levante followed the week I drove it in a combination of city/road conditions.
As I wrote in my original review, the Maserati Levante GTS is somewhat attractive, however, once you finish looking, you can start driving, and that’s where the SUV offers a convincing explanation of why write the big check.
The V8 comes to life and keeps roaring. The soundtrack is spectacular, but it’s not just noise.The race at 60 km/h is, according to Maserati, a 4-second phenomenon, but I imagine it in a hair below.And the GTS plays exceptionally well in corners. The most productive component of this is to dive into a curve, then pass out, feel the power flowing in the car, on the wheels, on the tires and then on the sidewalk while the Levant grabs the plug.
Yes, other high-performance SUVs can do this. But the Levante GTS does so with an escape note that is frankly mythological while pampering you on Italian-style acres.It never goes out of style.
The EPA has not yet evaluated the Cayenne GTS for fuel economy, but I discovered that the powerful V8 was thirsty; in two days of driving, I controlled to incinerate almost part of a premium gas tank.
In my review, I wrote:
Essentially, what we have with the GTS is the Cayenne that critics feared the SUV wasn’t: a very fast four-door Porsche (0-60 in about 4.5 seconds) with a giant shipping bay and that spins like it’s on top. rails. (the rear axle guide provides assistance) and you can drop the hammer in a straight line.On some American highways, such as through freight carriers, you can go to the semi-finals all day and feel the bottomless hit produced to Through the superb gtS engine, you are never left behind, in position to hit like a boxer.
So why does the Porsche win the GTS? After all, the Levant is faster at 60 mph in half a full second and brings nearly a hundred more horses into battle.In the most sensible of all this, the Levant is more beautiful, approximately.a cheaper and much more modern and exclusive Toyota Corolla inside.
Make no mistake, the Levante GTS is awesome. It’s just that the Porsche Cayenne GTS is so good.It’s hard to beat a Porsche SUV in a driving contest.In short, I love the Maserati, but I appreciate the Porsche.
Does this mean that you deserve a pass at the Mas? Nan. Obviously features matter and my Porsche Cayenne GTS tester was full of them. By some measures the Porsche is overpriced based on its configuration (of course the GTS has a less expensive starting price) You might not need to dive into corners In an SUV, you prefer to enjoy the fury of this great Maserati engine while enjoying its impressive interior.
Interestingly, the debate was reduced to the classic Porsche-Ferrari showdown, with maserati acting as Maranello’s agent, the sound of the Levant is more cheerful, while the Cayenne is happiness in the hands when the force reaches the post.But it also intimidates more, while the Porsche drives almost alone.
I enjoyed the rides. But in the end, the Porsche Cayenne GTS has the advantage.
