Doug DeMuro Really Doesn't Like The Maserati Levante's Quirks

Doug DeMuro has borrowed a Maserati Levante to root out this Italian SUV's odd features, and he's both disappointed... and not

YouTube car reviewer Doug DeMuro is at it again, unearthing the quirks in an interesting car. This time it’s the turn of the Maserati Levante, and it’s safe to say he doesn’t like it.

It’s always controversial when a legendary sports car maker turns to SUVs with the aim of selling more cars. Because profits, etc, and to hell with the integrity of heritage. But as Doug points out, these cars are often rather disappointing.

Surely you must be able to tap and drag to rearrange this mess...

The Levante does have some really weird quirks, though, like a glove box that you can lock via the infotainment system. You can set a PIN to stop anyone getting inside, even if they have the key.

Other weird features are a tailgate release button above the driver’s head, heated seat controls seemingly randomly splashed around the menu screen, and rear doors with master door lock switches. Your kids will love that a bit too much…

While it’s clear that Doug doesn’t much care for the Levante, he does at least seem to enjoy giving it a hard time. Silver lining, there.

Well, I’d have that rather than paying $70k for a Defender

Cars cost a lot of money now, 70,000 is starting to be pretty normal.

I don’t know where you live, but 70k is a huge sum for most people. That’s not “pretty normal”.

While it is for a luxury SUV, this is not the average price for normal people.
Highest normal people want to pay is about 45k where I live.

Doug is the type of guy who would ask if his house had a bumper to bumper warranty before buying.

Doug is the type of guy to stick his head through a Levante’s rear seats.

The car clearly isn’t worth the money

Simple way of understanding why is imagining it with, say, a Fiat badge. Would anyone buy a plasticy Fiat SUV for this sort of money? No

Therefore, the main selling point of this car is it’s badge. And when any car relies on it’s badge as it’s main selling point, it means the car is sh!te.

Nobody would pay that much for something with a Fiat badge on it

I don’t like it either…

But why don’t people like Doug??? I always see tons of mean comments on his videos on YouTube… the guy has more character in his small toe than most people out there… totally suited for the job! Glad CarThrottle is more level headed

Keep doing you Doug!
