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. But, as much as Ferrari might not like the tag, this car probably defines SUV – sports utility vehicle – better than any other car in the world.

It’s powered by a naturally aspirated 6.5-litre V12 petrol engine, which 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 July 2025, the Ferrari Purosangue holds a New Car Expert Rating of E with a score of 53%. Despite the car’s high review scores and Ferrari’s better-than-average new car warranty, the Purosangue’s rating is inevitably hampered by its high running costs and very poor CO₂ emissions.

“The Ferrari Purosangue is a deeply impressive and intriguing car. I’m just not sure what it’s really for. It’s not practical enough to be a true Range Rover or Cayenne replacement but it’s too big and too compromised to be a true sports GT.”

“Brash, thirsty, barkingly expensive and not very well packaged it might be, but the Ferrari Purosangue is also one of the most exciting four-door, four-seat cars ever. It sets new standards for a vehicle of this type, offering the pace and dynamic clarity of a full-blown supercar car on one hand (well, almost) with much of an SUV’s practicality on the other.”

“The Purosangue has the looks, sound and pace of a proper Ferrari, while the cabin and outright luxury is second to none. It does have its flaws and dynamically it’s not quite a match for Ferrari’s low-slung sports cars, but in the grand scheme these are small complaints.”

“It sounds like a Ferrari, looks like a Ferrari and has the performance figures to match, delivering scarcely believable levels of speed from its naturally aspirated V12 engine. Few other manufacturers, if any, could integrate such an incredible powertrain into an SUV.” (James Dennison)

“Maranello’s first production four-door four-seater may tip the scales at more than 2.3 tons and genuinely fit four adults plus luggage, but from behind the wheel it feels like a significantly lighter, more agile machine.”

“Practicality skinned and stretched over Ferrari’s sporting framework. The brand’s first four-seat, four-door, taller vehicle. Just don’t call it an SUV.”

Safety rating

Independent crash test and safety ratings from Euro NCAP

No safety rating

As of July 2025, the Ferrari Purosangue has not been tested by Euro NCAP. Due to its price and exclusivity, it’s unlikely that the Purosangue will ever be put through Euro NCAP’s test programme.

Eco rating

Independent economy and emissions ratings from Green NCAP

No eco rating

As of July 2025, the Ferrari Purosangue has not been assessed 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.

The Ferrari Purosangue is a very expensive car to own and run, according to whole-life cost numbers provided exclusively to The Car Expert by our data partner, Clear Vehicle Data.

The car’s fuel economy of 16 mpg is one of the worst fuel consumption stats in our Expert Rating Index, and insurance premiums are in the most expensive bracket too.

The good news is that all new Ferraris include seven years of scheduled servicing and maintenance, which means there’s no excuse for owners not to get their cars serviced on time, every time.

Warranty rating

New car warranty information for the Ferrari Purosangue

Petrol or diesel modelsB61%
New car warranty duration4 years
New car warranty mileageUnlimited miles

Ferrari’s new car warranty is better than average, and comparable to other manufacturers operating in the same stratospheric levels of the new car market.

The duration is four years, with no limit on mileage – although, in reality, the mileage numbers are likely to be fairly irrelevant as most Ferraris cover far fewer miles per year than the average family car.

The Purosangue is a purely petrol-powered Ferrari, so it doesn’t get the enhanced new car warranty that plug-in hybrid models like the 296 and SF90 get.
