At first look, the Ferrari Purosangue is just like the upcoming Peugeot 408 in the best way it blurs the traces between what is taken into account an SUV and a hatchback. Nonetheless, whereas most SUVs supply a 5 or seven-seat configuration, the Purosangue solely has 4 seats on supply – mirroring its non secular predecessor, the Ferrari GTC4 Lusso. To entry the second row, passengers should enter by way of a pair of rear-hinged ‘welcome doorways’, just like these seen on the Mazda MX-30 and the Cullinan.

One other space the place the Ferrari is missing compared to different extra conventional SUVs is boot area, though the Purosangue’s 473 litres of boot area is essentially the most any Ferrari has ever featured. It’s truly 71 litres greater than you get in a Ford Mustang Mach-E. And, for one thing that has a howling 6.5-litre V12 engine underneath the bonnet, we don’t assume that quantity is simply too dangerous.
