Ferrari Purosangue Review: A Game-Changing FUV! What’s An FUV?
It is among the most extreme road-going high-performance SUVs out there, and it is the prettiest one too. The Ferrari Purosangue is a vehicle that redefines what high-performance SUVs can be. In this detailed Ferrari Purosangue review, we take a closer look at the super SUV listed by Laith Al Obaidi on DubiCars.
The Purosangue is Ferrari’s first-ever production four-door and four-seater and is currently among the fastest SUVs in the world. However, Ferrari refuses to call it an SUV! Read on to know why.
DubiHighlights
Here are five unique details that set the Ferrari Purosangue apart:
1. FUV — Ferrari Utility Vehicle: Ferrari had a stubborn focus on only making sports cars and supercars. Despite the whole industry moving towards SUVs and prime rival Lamborghini launching the Urus in 2017, Ferrari just refused to make SUVs. However, the immense success of the Urus and other high-performance SUVs made Ferrari cave in.?
For the first time in Ferrari’s 75+ year history, the brand developed an SUV. However, Ferrari still refuses to call it an SUV. Instead, Ferrari refers to the Purosangue as a ‘four-door, a thoroughbred or even FUV — Ferrari Utility Vehicle. The Italian word Purosangue, pronounced as ‘Purr-oh-sahn-gway,’ translates to ‘Purebred’ in English.
2. The Holy Grail of Performance SUVs: With a top speed of 310km/h, the Ferrari Purosangue joins an elite trio of the fastest SUVs in the world, alongside the Lamborghini Urus and Aston Martin DBX. The Urus has a top speed of 312km/h while the DBX clocks 310km/h at full chat.
3. The Ferrari Roma Connection: Built on the Ferrari Roma’s platform, the Purosangue features some design cues from its grand touring sibling but swaps the Roma’s V8 engine for a V12 masterpiece.
4. Rear-Hinged Doors: Now this is something no one would have expected from Ferrari — suicide doors. In the modern era, only Rolls-Royce’s cars are known for their unique rear-hinged rear doors. However, in a first for Ferrari, the Purosangue features rear-hinged “welcome doors” for easier access to the rear seats. They’re practical and also look undeniably cool.
5. Carbon Fibre Overload: This particular example listed on DubiCars is adorned with carbon fibre elements inside and out, from the exterior panels to the interior trim, underscoring its lightweight high performance ethos.
Design & Styling
The Ferrari Purosangue’s design is unmistakably Ferrari. At the front, sharp LED DRLs blend seamlessly into aggressive air intakes, while a low-slung stance hints at the car’s performance potential.
The side profile showcases perfect proportions with a long hood, flowing lines, and a sharply raked rear windscreen. The coupe-like silhouette is accentuated by muscular haunches and stylish 22-inch front and 23-inch rear wheels.

The rear design is just as striking. Quad tailpipes, quad taillights, a roof spoiler, and an aerodynamic diffuser highlight Ferrari’s attention to detail. Every angle screams sportiness, ensuring that the Purosangue remains true to its roots despite its SUV form.
Interior & Features
The interior of the Purosangue combines luxury with motorsport inspiration. Carbon fibre and Alcantara dominate the interior, giving it a lightweight yet premium feel. The dashboard features a unique double-bubble design, further emphasizing the car’s performance focus. In front of the driver is Ferrari’s signature flat-bottom steering wheel with the Manettino dial, giving access to various drive modes.
A curved display behind the wheel provides performance data, while a 10.2-inch touchscreen caters to the front passenger’s infotainment needs. Unlike many performance SUVs, the Purosangue’s rear seats are proper bucket seats with impressive legroom and comfort. Getting in and out is easy, thanks to the rear-hinged doors.
