Pretty sure Kyle’s knowledge of the EV space and in particular all charging aspects really caught the engineer off guard. Kyle is such a step above the “average” car reviewer
Oh Lord
As a engineer, it is always interesting to talk with knowledgeable people, I would appreciate to talk with Kyle in many topics. The most boring and mentally challenging dialogues are with total unknowable tools that try to play smart.
Are you serious 🧐?
lol oh please.
It was strange. Obviously given who he is, he knows all the answers, yet for whatever reason did not want to divulge in detail. Is it possible that there may be changes in production? Or did he not want to give away any secrets?
As a former electrical engineer I love the details. So refreshing to have good knowledge from a RUclipsr. I just watched the CR best of video (out of curiosity) and they didn’t seem to actually understand that regen was different than one pedal driving, claiming you’d use brake pads if you turned off 1 pedal.
I find it odd so many people are confused about this, regen and blended braking has been around since the first Prius 25 year ago, but I see comments from people all the time that think that any EV that isn't using one pedal isn't using regen.
consumer reports really has fallen the last decade or so
This car looks insane I wouldn't change a thing. Those headlights are so sleek and futurstic. Head turner forsure.
@@user-my4xu4gf1z I'm glad some legacy manufacturers are taking BEVs seriously.
This guy can talk for days over EV Cars without a script.
"Hatt's off to your knowledge...❤ "
And thanks for this long videos
If only he could learn to pronounce "tour" correctly. Every time he says he's taking us on a "full TORE" of something, I flinch.
this is the most impressive ev in a while in terms of specs, range and aesthetics.
First Porsche Ive ever wanted to buy and I think I probably will. Well done
agreed though i will wait for NACS
I don't have Porsche money, but this has me excited for the Audi Q6 to launch. Assuming they get similar range and charging performance out of the platform and it's priced somewhere between the Q4 and Q8, I think that's likely to be the sweet spot for me.
base price starts at 76,000. @@deg0ey
Big Porsche fan here but for me polestar will be the car for me. Feels like a better value car. ✔️
This or the Rivian R2? Can't decide.
“Not lose a single joule of energy”
It is so refreshing to hear information from engineers who really know the content. Too many companies can’t even get basic units right, and hearing Robert use joule casually in conversation proves he knows what he is talking about.
I would expect a "PhD" ("Doctor" in Europe and other countries) know what a Joule is.
@@michaels3003 Undoubtedly. So many other company’s representatives can’t answer Kyle’s in-depth questions or mistake kW for kWh. Heck, even this week Stellantis put out in its official release a charging rate of 4.5 kWh per minute for a future vehicle.
Not sure why it would matter if they use Joule or Watt? I prefer hearing watt since its more common term in EV's. 1 kWh = 3.6 Million Joule.
@@AndrewTSq Because kWh is a derived unit. Joule is a pure unit of energy. Taking a kinetics or thermodynamics class as an engineer (bachelor’s myself) really makes you aware of the distinction be the various units. By far the worst is BTU (like most imperial units).
Yes, many companies cannot get their units right. For example in the official pre-recorded video during the reveal of the Macan the battery capacity was mentioned as „100kW per hour“. Total imbeciles.
This was so well done. Super excited for the Macan EV. Awesome to have Dr. Meier digging into the details. Thanks Kyle/Team
Back end of the EV is Uber spectacular in the opinion of this architect. Making it boxey would be silly. Overall the new Macan EV is absolutely amazing. It is a pinnacle of design. Just perfect!
Has cues of Urus from the front.
Pricing will be a huge issue, big increase from ICE version
Yea it really is the best suv EV on the market. It looks so futurstic love those headlights. Looks sporty aswell unlike other brands that look like mini vans or blobs
I know it isn't such a big deal these days but I still find it amazing that you can record good quality, stable video with a smart phone.
I used to think Autogefuhl was long-form until I met Out of Spec. Love the deepdives 👉
Hell yeah!
So true. Channels like Autogefühl and carwow are fun snack-sized looks at the general aspects of cars. Kyle takes us on a fascinating deep tour that you dont even realise that 1.5 hours had just passed. He is so well respected that he is practically an ambassador. Cant wait for the review of the Macan Turbo EV.
Awesome Video!!
I must say, the front styling is growing on me and after watching your Video I’m getting excited. Nice Job!
KYLE IS THE 🐐 OF CAR RUclips!
Thanks to the Porsche fellow. It’s nice having the designer, engineer and brain trust of the platform to explain and relay the thoughts on the car. That’s what I’m buying, is people that care about the engineering and design.
aesthetically this is a looker, and technically one of the best, and range is excellent
Absolutely underrated interview Kyle !! Can't wait for your test drive !!
Wow, I watched the whole 1.5 hours of your preview and thoroughly enjoyed it!! Thanks!
Great to get such a detailed overview! The design has really landed for me. I wasn't sure at all with prototypes.
Superb video, thanks Kyle!
THIS is replacing my CT and EX90 reservations - truly well thought out
Ex90 sits in a different segment and ppl would go it based on the boot space which far exceeds the boot space of this Macan as well as the 7 seats. I like both cars but don’t see them in anyway being in direct competition
Can't wait for the test drive videos!
Excellent! Thanks for all the details
Love seeing this channel already at 205k after passing 200k not to long ago. Still loving the long form content (I still watch on 1.2 speed though lol)
Great presentation! I love your channel! Will I reduce the range if I spec my Macan 4 with sun roof?
Dang! Look at Kyle slangin that engineering speak! Great review man as usual!
Great again, Kyle! Thnx!
Dr Meier was really interesting. So informative. And Kyle asked some great Q's.
Freaking amazing level of details!! Love it!❤
Very well done; professional guidance. 👌
Thanks again Kyle!
Lovely! Can you precondition the battery to a certain temp while plugged in? I can't figure that out in me Taycan.
Congrats again to you guys on all the recent growth
Great job Kyle!!
Best review of any EV on YT.
Non-Porsche owner, but definitely interested in the Turbo model. What is the advantage of Chrono Package? It appears the same options are available in the touch screen.
Also does it offer a version of Dog Mode?
Very nice presentation and flow.
Yes, I like the rear view. I really liked the original Macan, when it was introduced. But then they completely messed up the look of the front end, making it look really cheap, and that alone was a deal breaker. This actually looks great all round. I really like it.
They have nailed this. Size is spot on, design is an improvement, no more bug headlights, much more sleek profile, interior looks perfect, no compromises on space and storage and the EV stats are very good.
You can tell that Kyle has a soft spot in his heart for the Porsche.
Superb car , reviewed by superb person
Excellent , comprehensive review Kyle 👏🏻. Watching Kyle’s take on the Macan first! Just seen on the configurator, adaptive cruise control isn’t even standard!
Never was 🤣 So mean
@@sexpistillI know, but I thought they’d at least standardise it on future EV models. It’s even standard on a Golf!
@@andrewhurstcars there's no excuse for it, even with most of the options it is getting pretty crazy
@@sexpistillyup no excuse. From a safety point of view, it should be standard as a minimum.
How much was it extra?!
Man I'm impressed by how long you can talk non-stop 😄
Great video, thanks 🙏
I typically hate SUVs, but this new Macan has me really questioning my sanity. LOL! I am ready to go have a chat with my Porsche dealer; this really looks super nice. (But I am not letting go of my Taycan.)
Awesome! Thank you
The Key is in the shape of a car and that's the reason why the frunk button is in the front and the trunk button is at the rare with door buttons in the center.
It’s going to be so annoying 😩
Actually it not like this on Taycan key and some people were annoyed that it doesn’t follow car shape :)
Looks like a winner thanks for a thorough preview.
Love this car! Will definitely be a contender to replace my Model Y at the end of this year ⚡️⚡️⚡️
This is a much better car go for it!
The quality difference is pretty noticeable
@@mattbrew11ya and you will pay a lot more for it. And no supercharger network which is huge difference and I say this from experience. If you have any trips Tesla is by far ahead of everyone by a huge margin in terms of simplicity and cost.
That being said that Porsche Meccan looks solid!
Incredible EV! Great interview Kyle!
Very excited about the Macan EV. Looking forward to it joining the Lightning in the garage.
I'll always be a boxy SUV lover but I think the back end of this looks better than the model it's replacing.
thanks for the review. I would like to ask you a question. If you want to choose an electric EV, would you choose this Macan or you would pick the Lotus Eletre?
In the UK lane keeping assist, traffic sign recognition, lane change assist and cruise control are STANDARD. So happy about that
ACC is far better than standard cruise control.
Any notes on rear trailer hitches or proprietary mounts like Taycan? Saw the note for 2000kg tow rating. Aux power in the rear and “camping modes”? Great review as usual. Love the details.
Thank you for this highly interesting and entertaining video. It provides a very good impression of the vehicle. I think this might become my first Porsche. Greetings from Austria
He's right about the rear styling it reminds me too much of a Jaguar i-pace. That being said its still way nicer looking than the Model Y.
Honestly Porsche nailed it. Only the price is obviously a bit high, but other than that, performance, range & charging on par or better than Tesla, love their premium interior, awesome design, probably best looking small SUV out there. Go Porsche!
As a 2018 macan S owner, this exceeded what I thought it would be. Front headlights need to grow on me, but I like the rear light bar more than the gen 2
I have waited for this. Thanks
Thanks Kyle! Very very excited about the new Macan EV
Yep, well done, Porsche. Nailed the styling (no problems with the back-end, for mine), range is good, with what looks like typical superb Porsche handling. Agree, think they'll sell a lot.
Does it have auto lane change while in driver assist mode? And does it have key fob less entry using a digital key on your smartphone?
Planning to buy now!
Speaking as a Q8 E-Tron Sportback owner, I am team curves. Loving the Provenance color. Great design.
Great review Kyle 🙏 Macan looks nice and should sell well. The left rear charge port is perfect for Tesla Superchargers ❤❤❤
Good job Kyle. Have a charging question unrelated to the Macan. I have a Ford Pro Charging station for my Lightning. I recently purchased a EQS 580 SUV and I thought I would be able to use the Ford Pro charger with the EQS ... however, I get an error message at the EQS's charging port. Can this be resolved? What is the problem?
Great video. I wish you asked Dr. Meier why they chose the split headlights verses just integrating the headlamp as the Taycan does. Or if you did ask what's the reason for the spit? Thanks.
I think the look is amazing (yes including the rear!)
1:15:15 I think the screen is just about the perfect size for this level of integration into the dash. Big ol screen would mean that "giant tablet slapped onto dash" look that many many EVs already have.
Congrats to Porsche, nice, solid and future proof car
Want one baaaaad,, 🔥🥰🔥
Thanks Kyle,, 👍🌟👍
I always watch 1.5 speed cause everything is slow but always informative 🤘🏻
Great video!! Will definitely get the ICE version!
I love that Turbo. I'd spec mine almost like that.
Username checks out
Good amount of useful info is shown on the instrument cluster screen. When will someone forego the percentage of charge and give us the kWh in the battery down to zero with the buffer then listed to shut down. That is the most important thing I think every ev should be required to supply.
Kyle I am really impressed with both you and Porsche 🥷
Finally, now I can spec one out!!!
That is a good looking car. The camo versions looked slightly weird at the front, but it's quite a handsome thing
I was nervous about the split headlights but it honestly works on this vehicle
@@Carfan678 Nope. Not for me. I prefer the Taycan style lights on the Macan!
@@Carfan678 - me neither. I hate split lights on any vehicle. It's a stupid trend and doesn't look good in any iteration, even here.
@@jeffs6090 u misunderstood my comment I like it this case
@@Carfan678 you misunderstood me now. Hullio had said they were not for him. I was telling you that I agreed with that sentiment.
Great review ...so much info...I love rear end ...it's like watching the rear of a high diver wearing speedos 😅😅😅
i like the back and front and all car design inside, outside and structural, amazing. colors , headlamps, everything is amazing. you are lucky to sit in it, to drive it.
Any explanation as to why the top speed is so “low” on the macan 4 compared to the macan turbo? 136 vs 160 give or take
USA pricing
Macan 4 starts at $78,800
Macan turbo starts at $105,300
Lucky you greetings from Switzerland where the base starts at 110'000 USD...
Which means a model Y I gonna be a much smarter choice. Charging network alone is worth it over any other. If the improvements of model 3 highland gonna be going for model Y it will be a huge winner.
Hi Kyle, and OoSR team. Awesome channel.
OoSR and Kyle’s videos, praising the Taycan on the German autobahn and its fast charging capabilities, was the main reason I moved from a BMW 740d m-Sport x-drive to a Taycan 4S Cross Turismo last September. First EV 😇 but a major change from a diesel with 1.000km range. Don’t regret it. Epric car! I live in Switzerland and can’t imaging a better daily driver than a Taycan CT.
I do however have a 800km commute that I do 2-6 times per month, so fast and efficient charging is important to me.
Purpose of this comment is to ask two questions that I can’t get a straight answer to from Porsche.
1) in this video Kyle talks about the difference between Lane Keeping Assist and Lane Centring. I have recently upgraded to Innodrive (over the air update) . However NO LANE CENTERING. It’s close to non-usable to be ‘thrown from lane to lane’.
In this video I seem to understand that there is a possibility to option lane CENTERING. However I can’t find such option on any Taycan or the new Macan EV (in Europe). I can find it e.g. on Panamera (as part of Innodrive).
Am I mistaken, or is there a way to get lane Centering in a Taycan 4S CT?
2) as efficient charging is important on my long commutes, I am facing a tedious issue with the Porsche Intelligent Range Manager.
It seems I am NOT able to get the car to PRECONDITION the battery if I just select a DC charging station as destination (even if done from the My Porsche app, e.g. selecting an IONITY charging station and sending it to vehicle). I do not have Sports-Chrono but don’t think this should be the issue.
If the PIRM however detects that I need to charge to reach destination, and selects a DC charger as a stopover, THEN the battery gets preconditioned.
Kyle, since you know so much about the technical details and functionality of the Taycan, can you confirm that my observation is correct?
I can work around the issue (if I have to) by playing with the desired %-SoCat at destination, but it’s annoying if Ihave to. I know my 800km commute quite well by now, and know which 2-3 of the 5 IONITY chargers on the route I plan to hit. Therefore I usually just select the IONITY charger as my destination and hence often do not get prompted to charge on route as I typically have desired %-SoC set to 3%.
From many of your videos I get the impression that the Taycan will precondition simply my selecting a DC charger as destination. Just does not work on my Taycan 🤔 Am I mistaken?
i hate the big screens, this is perfect.
Wonder how well those headlights will work in the winter season.. Are they heated? No washer?
Great scoop and compelling specs.
Great thing about porsche EVs is they actually give u the range they say it will have and in some cases my taycan out performed. Unlike some brands like tesla which have been shown by carwow , Edmunds Car reviews and others to only achieve 75% of what their range estimates are. Good thing someone sued em a month ago because that's insane!
I rarely use my key buttons to lock/unlock/ I almost always use the buttons on the door handle.
Glad you know the accelerator pedal is on the right side !!! 😛
Can you explain the difference between the rear motor mounting on 4 and turbo ?
Great job
Looks like a best seller. Porsche is going to show that a good electric vehicle will sell well.
I agree, Kyle. I wish the back end was more boxy/useful.
Is the 400 A charging limit the reason it only charges at 150 kW max. in "400 V" mode and not 200 kW like other modern cars?
Can it keep the 150 kW till 80 % like e-tron since the charge is not as thermally challenging?
Great job.
Can’t wait 🔥🔥🔥
Hey Kyle. The charging port release is on the driver's door master switch cluster 😊
Hi Kyle - I'm 6'1" - and so rear seat room is a problem for me on the regular Macan - are you about the same height? Thanks.
Kyle has told us in another video that he is 6’1”.
i agree with you on the back end.....
Great in-depth video. Well done! The car looks fantastic and one I would definitely consider except, NACS... Perhaps in 2025.
Great content Kyle, thanks 💪🏼👍🏼
Just e few remarks from the technical side😉😉
Don’t mix up „Chiller“ with the Compressor. The „chiller“ you always talk about, is a passive component. It is nothing else then an evaporator, used to cool the battery cooling circuits cooling liquid.
The HV Component you mean is the HV Clima Compressor which is a HV Component and makes noise while running.
Kickdown has several functions here. One of them is overriding the set speedlimit with the limiter.
The Tycan can and could never decouple the rear e-motor from the gearbox. The clutches it uses (1 claw clutch, 1 multiplate clutch) are ONLY to change the gear ratio in the gearbox and to block the gearbox in „Park“. There is no way that it decouples machanically with those clutches (from the SOS of the Y1A till now)
In the Tycan Y1A the HV Booster does not in any way „split“ the battery in half. Its a normal DC/DC Converter, to „boost“ the Voltage up (and current down)
Looking forward to any information on autonomy improvements to InnoDrive, active lane keeping, etc.
Any idea when the embargo on talking about the drive of the car will be lifted?
Thinking about whether you, as a passenger, can be connected to your own screen with headphones, while the driver listens to Spotify... Or is the sound source controlled from the same place?
(39:30) ... regarding bi-directional charging: you can get the optional 115-volt outlet in the rear luggage compartment, as per the US configurator. So you can plug standard plugs into that rear outlet to get electricity out of the car.
only 115 watt or so
when will we see the cayenne electric and what will the platform be called? Will it share this platform or will it be based on larger luxury platform.
