Ferrari Purosangue (2023) | Professional Score


Summary


The Ferrari Purosangue is a performance SUV/crossover and the company’s first five-door production vehicle. It went on sale in the UK in Spring 2023, with the first customer deliveries expected later this year.

The Purosangue is Ferrari’s first SUV model, but the Italian brand prefers to call the car a “dynamic coupé” – and, to be fair, it would probably be rubbish off-road if any of its owners dared to try. It is powered by a naturally-aspirated 6.5-litre V12 petrol engine that Parker‘s James Dennison remarks “delivers scarcely believable levels of speed.” Making use of 725hp, the SUV can reportedly muster a 0-62mph sprint time of 3.3 seconds.

The SUV has been widely praised by the British motoring media for staying true to the typical Ferrari design brief – attractive sporty looks, thrilling sound, pace and handling, and a luxurious cabin finish – while offering the interior space of a mid-sized family car.

“You can comprehend what Ferrari was trying to do”, says Andrew English of The Telegraph, “but also how it has fallen short in a number of areas, which simply doesn’t cut it when you are charging almost a third of a million pounds.” That price is far more expensive than similar types of vehicles from other supercar brands, like the Lamborghini Urus and Aston Martin DBX.

Others question the car’s infotainment and boot space, but should the price tag be a non-issue, UK reviewers agree that these are small complaints that don’t overshadow what Steve Sutcliffe of Auto Express calls “one of the most exciting four-seat cars ever.”

As of March 2023, the Ferrari Purosangue holds an Expert Rating of 84%, based on ten reviews published by UK motoring titles. Though the car is now available to order, it is yet to arrive on UK roads, and we expect to see further reviews published in the coming months, which may alter this score up or down by a few points.

Safety rating


Independent crash test and safety ratings from Euro NCAP

No safety rating

As of March 2023, the Ferrari Purosangue has not been crash tested by Euro NCAP. Due to its price and exclusivity, it’s unlikely that the Purosangue will ever be crash tested.

Eco rating


Independent economy and emissions ratings from Green NCAP

No eco rating

As of March 2023, the Ferrari Purosangue has not been lab tested by Green NCAP. We’re not expecting it to ever happen, so you’ll just have to guess how eco-friendly a 6.5-litre petrol V12 SUV might be.
