Ferrari Purosangue – The First SUV under Ferrari

Ferrari’s first four-door SUV model arrived with clear rules: keep the brand’s driving DNA intact, limit production, and accept no compromises on character. Two years later the numbers confirm the strategy worked. Real transaction data shows strong premiums on low-mile examples. Independent tests highlight chassis performance that rivals mid-engine sports cars. The tables below organize every key metric so you can compare at a glance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Purosangue feel like a proper Ferrari on the road?	Yes. The front-mid engine layout, 49:51 weight distribution, and TASV suspension deliver responses closer to a sports car than any other super SUV. Independent testers consistently rank it as the most engaging vehicle in its class.
How limited is production really?	Ferrari has kept allocation deliberately tight since launch. Global output remains in the low thousands per year. This constraint directly supports strong resale performance and multi-year wait times for new cars.
Is the rear seat actually usable for adults?	The individual rear buckets are properly shaped with electric adjustment and good legroom. Two adults can travel comfortably on longer trips. It remains a strict 2+2 layout and is not designed as a five-passenger vehicle.
Will values hold or rise?	Clean, low-mile 2024–2025 examples are already trading at 30–50%+ premiums over original MSRP in multiple markets. Constrained supply combined with sustained demand continues to support strong residual values.
How does it compare to the Urus in daily driving?	The Urus offers more outright power, hybrid options, and five-seat practicality. The Purosangue counters with superior chassis precision, pure V12 character, and a more intimate four-seat grand touring experience.
What about long-term ownership costs and maintenance?	Service costs follow typical Ferrari levels, with extended maintenance programs available. Fuel economy sits in the low teens mpg combined. Carbon-ceramic brakes and strong resale help offset running costs for most owners.
