Powered by a V-12, the Purosangue combines thrilling performance, useful practicality, and all-terrain capability in a four-door, four-seat body.Ferrari refuses to call the Purosangue an SUV, but that's what it is, putting it in competition with other high-riding exotics like the Lamborghini Urus, Bentley Bentayga, and Aston Martin DBX.What We ThinkAmong the world's most extreme SUVs, only one has a V-12 engine: the Ferrari Purosangue. All-wheel drive, four-wheel steering, high-tech active suspension, and dual transmissions give it seriousperformancecapability. But the naturally aspirated V-12 is a centerpiece of the experience as it howls to an 8,250-rpm redline.AdvertisementAdvertisementThe Purosangue's looks are unmistakably Ferrari, channeling the elegant yet aggressive profile of a lifted shooting brake. For all its usability, though, the Purosangue falls short of ideal daily-driver duty in a few areas.Much functionality is handled by touch-sensitive steering-wheel controls where conventional buttons or a proper touchscreen would be easier to live with. Rearward visibility isn't great, and cargo space is limited in the four-seat cabin.But how Ferrari prioritized performance over practicality is a good thing. Astonishing dynamics and genuine comfort give the Purosangue broad, ever-enjoyable abilities. Ferrari's first-ever SUV needed to make a statement—and the Purosangue does, in so many ways.Top-Ranked Competitors:Lamborghini UrusBentley BentaygaAston Martin DBXLucid GravityFerrari Purosangue EngineLike the best Ferraris, the Purosangue is powered by a V-12 engine. Here, it has 6.5 liters of displacement and produces 715 hp with 528 lb-ft of torque.AdvertisementAdvertisementThe engine is connected to an AWD system through two automatic transmissions: an eight-speed dual-clutch unit for the rear wheels, and a two-speed for the front wheels. With that, the Purosangue's 0–60-mph launch is estimated at 3.3 seconds.New 2027 Purosangue Handling SpecialeHow the Purosangue goes around a corner is excellent, but for 2027, Ferrari introduces the Handling Speciale specification for an even sharper feel. The Purosangue Handling Speciale has recalibrated suspension that's said to reduce body movements by 10 percent while making the SUV feel more compact and agile.Transmission shifts are made more responsive and punchier, too. An additional mode increases engine sound in the cabin. Black exterior emblems and exhaust tips distinguish Handling Speciale examples from the standard Purosangue.Purosangue Hybrid?Fuel economy for the Purosangue is terrible—its V-12 is rated at 11/15 mpg city/highway. But Ferrari is no stranger to hybrids, and an electrified Purosangue is possible.AdvertisementAdvertisementThe Purosangue Hybrid might use a twin-turbocharged V-8 engine combined with an electric motor for about 700 hp total. Although fuel economy could improve in the Purosangue Hybrid, performance will remain its priority.How Many Seats Are in the Purosangue?The Purosangue's doors split in the middle, opening forward up front and rearward at the back. The cabin has only four seats, with contoured buckets for each occupant. Even though it's an SUV, cargo space isn't great; there are only 16.7 cubic feet behind the back seats.TechnologyFerrari gives the Purosangue a 10.2-inch digital gauge cluster operated through touch-sensitive steering-wheel controls. That main screen manages important vehicle information, and infotainment duties including Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. A head-up display is also included.The front passenger gets their own 10.2-inch touchscreen, which mirrors much of what the driver has access to. A 21-speaker Burmester audio system is equipped in the Purosangue. Wireless device charging and USB ports are standard.Award-Winning SuspensionThe Purosangue doesn't just handle well for an SUV—it handles well for any type of vehicle. That's largely thanks to its active suspension centered around special dampers from Multimatic.AdvertisementAdvertisementThese dampers each have a 48-volt electric motor, which allows far greater control of wheel and body motions than other suspension types. With them, body roll can theoretically be eliminated entirely. The Purosangue's handling and active suspension earned it a MotorTrend Best Tech Award—read all about it here.How Expensive Is the Ferrari Purosangue?Purosangue pricing begins at well over $400,000 with no options. Adding upgrades like paint, colored brake calipers, carbon-fiber exterior trim, special interior upholsteries, or the Handling Speciale option can easily add $100,000 or more to the total price.
