Ferrari SF90 Review: Comfort, Drive and Cost Without Hype

Ferrari SF90 comes across as sensible rather than dramatic, which is not a bad direction for a daily car. The useful detail sits in a sports car shape, 4850 mm length with a 2650 mm wheelbase and 4 visual references, which gives the car more shape in real use. The styling reads as neat and sensible, even if it is not the loudest thing in its class. This is the sort of detail that matters more in real life than it ever does in a brief handover drive.

Ferrari SF90 feels more honest than fancy in the cabin, which can work perfectly well for daily driving. The clearer side of the story is 2 seats and 2 variants, and that matters more than empty excitement. It sounds practical enough for commuting and errands, even if it does not promise a plush experience. This is the sort of detail that matters more in real life than it ever does in a brief handover drive.

Ferrari SF90 appears to have a stronger mechanical backbone than an ordinary point-A-to-B car. The useful detail sits in plug-in hybrid, 586 kW maximum power, 804 Nm maximum torque, dual-clutch transmission and Electronic Four Wheel Drive, which gives the car more shape in real use. There looks to be enough mechanical substance here to feel more than merely adequate in traffic. This is the sort of detail that matters more in real life than it ever does in a brief handover drive.

Ferrari SF90 appears to have the sort of footprint that pays off once the car is fully used. The stronger part of that impression comes from a sports car body, 2 seats and 4850 mm length and 2650 mm wheelbase. It has the kind of footprint that tends to pay off once adults and bags share the same trip. This is the sort of detail that matters more in real life than it ever does in a brief handover drive.

Ferrari SF90 does not show enough named protection equipment to make the safety story feel settled. The fundamentals may still be acceptable, but family buyers would be right to confirm the final kit very carefully. Until that happens, this part of the ownership picture should stay measured rather than confident. This is the sort of detail that matters more in real life than it ever does in a brief handover drive. On a sports car in this class, tyre choice, seating and trim usually do more to shape daily feel than people expect.

Ferrari SF90 keeps the value story on the guarded side once the likely running costs are considered. The useful detail sits in 10 L/100 km combined fuel use, plug-in hybrid and 2 variants, which gives the car more shape in real use. That keeps the ownership case on the cautious side, especially once insurance and upkeep enter the picture. This is the sort of detail that matters more in real life than it ever does in a brief handover drive. For a plug-in hybrid sports car like this, trim and setup can still change the real impression quite a bit.
