what's up ladies and gentlemen and welcome to this POV review by autotop now my name is Max and today we are checking out the all new Maserati g f uh it is truly the only way to say it with an Italian accent because otherwise you just sound like an idiot so Maserati g f uh it is just better that way this is the electric version that is what F gor means and uh well we absolutely loved the proo version of the greal so let's take a look at the design uh we've got a new front
bumper with this inverted Grill uh for the EV of course to close it off a little bit still have some cooling going in there but uh not as much is needed of course and it's just a little bit more closed off for a better aerodynamic efficiency beautiful Maserati logo there and I believe I'm not 100% sure but I believe that this is biano Astro or as R uh which is a very very nice color it's a beautiful design I love the the size of it and I think it's uh it's a goodlooking car it's a
different car you know if you want something that you don't see that often this is a really good option I'm going to do a quick walk around because this is this super thin cold rain and it's very very uncomfortable um wheel wise we have these Arrow optimized Wheels this is a 20-in wheel but you can also have this super cool sort of Tri spoke design which I would definitely recommend going for you can also have that on the Gran Turismo beautiful beautiful wheel and behind that we've got Maserati brakes we've got Standard air suspension on
the fulgora and also these three vents well they used to be vents but they now light up when you lock and unlock the car which is a cool detail you get these bronze logos for the full G uh we've got privacy glass panoramic roof as well and this bronze Maserati logo and then at the rear again I think it's a handsome car it's a good looking car design is great and you still have a proper usable boot so the idea of Maserati was that you have three different versions and they want them all to be
as similar as possible which I think is a really really good approach so you have a hybrid four cylinder you've got the tro with the the V6 turbo and then you have this full gor which is uh electric but you still have a very big usable boot do we have a a frunk as well I'm not sure love this key by the way look at that that is just gorgeous let's check out this see if we have a frankk no we don't so big cover hiding an electric motor because we've got 105 KW hour battery
pack and two electric motors one front one rear 25 KW 205 KW 410 in total which is like 550 horsepower and it's got 820 newm of torque so let's get in because it's horrible outside and in here again uh just like with the last uh Gala we drove this is gorgeous lovely interior there's leather everywhere uh it's a beautiful design it's a more conventional conservative approach to an electric car of course again uh they just want three different versions of the same car the fact that it's an electric car doesn't mean that it needs to
look like a spaceship and have seven screens and uh you know all kinds of nonsense no this is is just a Maserati and it is electric and that is it so we have this screen right here for the infotainment and then the climate is down there heated seat he heated steering wheel let's go and then yeah this all works really well it it responds well it's clear to read it's easy to use I love that this is good and you can have this clock up there again you've got shortcuts on the sides which is great
and then you can have a classic uh clock there you can have a compass the pedal input a GM and the battery percentage this is very useful we've been using that one a lot because we drove this car from Turin in Italy back to the Netherlands they asked us if we wanted to do that and uh we thought that's my third arm ooh not that one um so yeah click in the top right corner to check out the video we drove 1100 km in an electric car and we thought it would be a good challenge
uh to set oursel to see if it is doable and what it is like so this car has a range claimed wltp of 487 km i' I've seen a couple different numbers but that is the one that I've seen most which as we know is very difficult to get close to you're you're well you're never going to get actually get 400 87 so we usually say that with these weather conditions you're at around 65% of the range which kind of checks out because that means that you're around 320 km of range effective in the real
world you know with highway driving stuff like that we averaged around 320 kilm with uh you know mostly highway driving which was a challenge that was a very challenging two days because I think normally if you would have like a a a tro version we would have done it in one day and now it took us two days so yeah it is something you have to take into consideration but it is a great car to do a trip with because it's spacious you have great materials everywhere it's very practical great speaker system as well by
Sona Faber and uh yeah all around just a great place to be so let's start it up hit that button and then we have driving modes so we've got off-road max range GT and sport sport also gives you a sport sound which you can turn that off and we can bit too late there and we can engage the sport suspension let's turn that on as well you can also use this button right here to engage sport suspension max range mode is the one we used for the big trip of course um as you can see
you gain a little bit of range it limits the power the the throttle pedal is a lot less sensitive you can only do 130 km an hour and the air suspension lowers uh a little bit more and a little bit sooner for better Arrow of course also climate goes into an Eco setting stuff like that but we're going to do sport mode for the b-road and we have a electric motor display there so you can see the front and the rear motors which is cool so let's head out and uh see what it's like well
I already know what it's like because we've done 1100 km but I literally have not really like properly pushed it because we only did highway driving we also have an ESC off button here and there's also some fake sound so they put some speakers on the spots where their exhaust used to be and uh yeah it's emitting a little bit of sound from there but it's not [Music] crazy it's not very loud and in here as well I have to say they they judged it pretty well because they wanted to give the customers a little
bit of a Maserati experience but they didn't overdo it it's not too loud not too spaces Shippy quite like that so power-wise as I said we've got 550 horsepower 820 new of torque it's plenty uh to get this car moving it weighs around 2500 kilos so it's pretty heavy of course but well it's super wet but we're still going to do a a little zero to 100 4.1 is what they claim I think it should be able to do that little bit of wheel spin there we also have these pedals behind the steering wheel so
the colum mounted pedals classically Maserati of course and you use those to uh increase or decrease the Regeneration which is great it's nice to have that uh close by because that means that you can use it you know on a Mountain Road if you're actually driving on a Mountain Road to your winter holiday or whatever um you can use the Regeneration to give the brakes some Breathing Room something like that it is it is quite useful it's actually downshifting idiot so you can see that it actually sends quite a bit more power to those rear
wheels that's a big difference and in range mode it also sends most of the power to the rear wheels because then you know it's more more efficient of course charging uh up to 150 Kow at a fast charger which it actually does so we use the navigation and then it starts preconditioning the battery and then if you have a good charger it will do 150 KW and that means that you go from 10 to 80% in 39 minutes which is just I would say just enough it is is right on the The Verge it is
useful it is a useful range and it charges up quickly enough but you know they're not setting any records it's uh it's it's it's enough but it's not great if you look at Porsche or or Hundai or kia those guys they are charging much much quicker um this is a 400 volt architecture which is kind of strange because the Gran Turismo has an 800 architecture which means that it can charge up a lot quicker but it can also regenerate and uh deploy the power much better quicker less heat it's just way better system but yeah
so I do have to say like steering feel and all that the the driving bits of this car and just a car being a car this is very good at that because it feels luxurious it feels [Music] solid so now you can hear the fake sound a little bit better 100 to 200 we did 1286 and the top speed is 220 km an hour actual kilometers so this is like 230 and then the limiter kicks in it's very comfy you have that air suspension of course uh so it absorbs everything really well I actually like
the suspension in sport mode better than in Comfort mode because I feel like it's a little bit more settled down um it's a little bit less wobbly and yeah just it's great great like this so if you have it in GT mode and uh suspension sport it actually handles like a Maserati shoot you have a very direct steering which means that it it feels quite agile it feels a little bit lighter than it actually is and because this is a very nice size car it it never feels too big or anything like that while it
is very practical and useful so the only thing that I don't like about this car is the fact that you know they're not really ahead of their time they're not they're not at the front of the back when it comes to these electric drivetrains and if they are going to go you know fully electric they do need to to get behind that because this is a great car the gala in general is a great car the tro is amazing uh but this car is kind of let down by the Limited range and just the lack
of a little bit of refinement when when it comes to the electric drivetrain the you can just feel the car putting the power to the different wheels and they also use torque vectoring by braking on the rear wheels it just it all feels a bit strange and it's not very polished while the tro felt just 10 out of 10 so yeah it's it's a good car in general it's a good car it's just let down a little bit by by the range and the charging speed and stuff like that it's just they still have that
that likability Maserati still has that that special feeling when you when you get to a dealership we went to to Trin to pick up this car and we walked in there there were you know five or six cars there and it just has this special feel this like true Italian sports car brand feel and that is also why someone might buy this right you want something different this might be a second or a third or a fourth car even and then the range is pretty okay if you don't use it for long trips this range
is is pretty okay you you do end up with a car that feels really special that that feels luxurious that has a a cool look um people wonder what it is people think that you drive something cool and I think if you you know if you drive a Porsche Maan electric then it it's not as I don't know not as cool as this might be so they still have that even though you know it's it's not maybe that's been that's always been the case it's not the best car but it's a Charming car and you
you want to like it and you hope that you like it and other people like it so yeah I think people should still buy these cars it's just you have to know that you're not buying the technological uh front runner and uh if you accept that you have a really nice car but the thing I like most about this car is that it is a conventional conservative approach to an electric car as they say they just want to offer three different versions of the kakala and that is what this is this is an electric version
of that same car it doesn't feel over the top you don't have as I said seven screens with 10 different displays shouting at you uh all kinds of crazy ambient lighting no this is an understated classy electric car for people who don't really need an electric car or per se want other people to know that they're driving an electric car but they just want a Maserati and I think they succeeded at that all right so that is it for this review I hope you enjoyed it I definitely uh enjoyed driving it well it was limited
at 220 which is good because the weather is just horrible but uh yeah I've got my heated steering wheel and heated seat so I'm happy you can subscribe by clicking the big button in the middle you can also check out this review of the gala tropo which is an amazing car you can also check out this playlist and I'll see you at the next one bye
