The new Porsche Macan has gone all-electric. Which is big news. Some are going to love the idea, some are going to hate it - you can probably guess which side of the fence Electrifying sits.
The basics are that there will be two models; the £69,800 Macan 4 and a £95,000 grand Macan Turbo. And yes, it is weird calling a car with no engine a turbo. Both are dual-motor and four-wheel drive, both get the same usable 95kWh battery.
The Turbo is the really quick one with 635bhp and 0-62mph in 3.3 seconds, a 162-mph top speed and 367 miles of range. The 4 gets a ‘measly’ 400bhp, hits 62 in 5.1 seconds, but a touch more range at 380 miles. So overall that’s a bit more sensible.
In terms of design, the Turbo doesn’t look a lot different to the 4. There are different wheels and a few trim pieces, and there are a couple of vents on the back bumper, but it's not night and day.
Inside, there’s a 12.6-inch curved driver’s info screen plus a massive head-up display projected onto the view, then a 10.9-inch touchscreen. There’s also an optional passenger screen, so that your passenger can play at being a DJ, watch tv or change the sat-nav. It’s directional so you won’t be tempted to take a peek while driving. But that’s still a lot of screen.
Passengers sit a little lower than in the Macan with an engine, which makes a change for an EV as you usually sit higher because there’s a battery stuffed under your feet. The rear bench is lower, too. Plus, there’s more legroom back there, and a bigger boot, plus a frunk. It’s not the biggest ever, but it’s enough to get by for most people.
The big news is that the New Macan is now a bespoke electric car, with a whole new skeleton of tech which will also sit under things like Audi’s Q6 e-Tron and the new A6 e-Tron, and it’s full of good news, especially around charging. The 800-volt architecture will allow for a maximum charge rate of 270kW, giving 10-80% charge in just over 20 minutes on a big enough charger. Porsche reckons 60 miles of range every four minutes.
The Macan can also bank charge - essentially splitting the battery into two parts for 400-volt charging stations - which means more efficient charging and better heat management. And don’t forget, that time spent at the charger is actually putting in decent range because it’s efficient - the official figures are 380 miles for the Macan 4 and 367 for the Turbo. That’s 4.2miles per kWh for the Macan 4 - and anything over 4 is pretty good for this class of car.
Join Nicki as she takes the new Macan on the road for the first time. Are you a fan? Will it be on your shortlist for 2024? Let us know in the comments below.

I’m not their market but can’t help but comment. They’ve nailed it, subtle aggression styling & crazy performance, what more could you want? Engineering ? Tick. Hats off to them.
I SO appreciate your honesty of admiting you're not being their market rather than feined skepticism. (Most skeptics just don't believe they could ever affiord something at this level) Hats off to YOU!
Thanks for the honest review. A car that can give travel sickness and needs to compensate it by switching to sports plus then there is too much vertical movement from the suspension dampers. Sideways movement or Oversteer will not cause travel sickness. Porsche needs to work hard before releasing the vehicle to the public.
Great review! Love the looks of this car!
Does it have over the air updates? Can you coast in it (level 0 regen)? What sort of range were you getting while driving? Gonna be interesting to see where the second hand prices sit in a few years with these :) Nice car and review though thanks.
It would have been funny if at 9:16, the frunk opened just as Nicki raised her arms.
I agree with you on one pedal driving. I’d like a Macan to replace my Tesla Model Y Performance but now that I have experienced aggressive one pedal driving I’ll wait for the next Model Y Performance.
You can put automatic recuperation on the diamond button - that one pedal drive at a fingertip!
@@hermannoecking199 that’s great news if it’s true one pedal driving that will come to a stop vs like the Taycan which is not very aggressive regen
Perhaps my 4th Porsche? Excellent video! Love your trousers too!
Very nice and I agree with you it is a mistake not to add one peddle driving , I am not a fan of it but in heavy city traffic its wonderful . I drive a Genesis GV 60 and I do see a lot of similarities between the 2 cars , quite often in Canada when I am at a public charger people come and ask me if my car is a Porsche . Great review thank you .
Your incorrect spelling of pedal is a mistake.
Gensis are so plastic far from porsche quality 🎉 😂
@@Quellness223 I have 2 friends that own Porsche Taycan's they love the car and both of them are very impressed with the Genesis GV60 in fact very little cheap plastic in them great valve for the money , but what do we know .
Porsche says the new Macan EV can tow up to 2,000 kg (4,400 lbs) 10 to 80 percent top-up in 21 minutes, 👍👍👍
They will regret it.
You obviously didn’t mention the Model Y as a contender because it is the champion. One pedal driving is everything and the reason you suffered travel sickness without it. It is smooth and makes you a better driver. Porsche being Porsche have shot them self in the foot.
6:31 was the highlight of the video hahaha
This is one of the first EVs I've seen that doesn't shout "I'm an EV" (which is a plus for me). Feels like it's comfortable enough in its own skin not to need any exaggerated EV styling cues.
An MG ZS or a Vauxhall Corsa e don't shout neighter 'I'm an EV', do they?
@@thedreamfactory6964 wasn't familiar with either, so i just checked them out. I have to agree, the MG ZS just looks like an ordinary car, definitely not shouting "I'm an EV". Not so sure about the Corsa E though. Something about that half blanked out grill looks a little EV-ish to my eyes, but it is good to see that manufacturers are starting to realise they don't have to style EVs to be dramatically distinctive from ICE
Which Genesis GV60 trim is this?
I love the look but haven 't seen it in the metal yet. I have been driving Porsches since 1987 (944 Turbo, 964 (2)) plus VW Golf GTI before that and Golf R now. My 964 is now to valuable to be a regular driver so I plan replace the Gof R with the Macan EV for most of my driving.
Love the new design language...would also love to be able to own one...
I like the car, design is nice. And the car is more intuitive with inside controls like temperature then VW and Audi which is really strange. I would upgrade my model 3 LG any day for this Macan.
Love it but imagine the repair bill on the screen 😱
What's this green ? Oak Green Metallic Neo ? Aventurine ? Thx !
what a lovely presenter. really great voice and top video quality as always
Wonder how long before someone tries to collect the badge late at night as a number of European cars where I live are missing their badges due to badge collectors. I suspect it will sell well as in the US the Macan from what I've heard is very popular and is basically the Crossover style and sizing so if priced similarly or not alot more than the petrol version from a TCO perspective should be a good seller.
Around 12:28 I think the figures are not entirely correct. The weight distribution is 48/52 front/rear (at least for the turbo, if I'm not mistaken) Looking at the power distribution, the car is primarily rear wheel biased.
The BHP figures around 11:13 are not entirely correct either. Ho Hum..
Curious that you mentioned it has V2L. I read they they tested V2L, but that it’s not included yet. Do you have more details about that? V2x is a great advantage to have, and will really make this a top option if it’s included. thanks!
Lovely, but optional matrix lights, optional roof rack, the wheels are a £3500 option, its crazy, with a start price of £69.8k? Flippin heck! Heated seats another £300, and the list goes on. Definitely a vehicle for those who have never had to consider budgeting 😁
You forgot £350 for a rear windscreen wiper and, erm, £275 for the “sports sound” option.
@@BHBeckenbauerincorrect. Heated FRONT seats are standard. Rears are an option
You know this is a Porsche, right?
I put the same tech that come in my M4 and it added 20k to the price. 😂
@@turtronif it was a real Porsche it wouldn’t have awful used values.
You mentioned the one pedal driving even though it doesn't do that you can still set it to follow the car in front of you to keep your distance I do this all the time with my e-tron I never actually turn it off especially when I'm in traffic and it will speed up and slow down so it must have that feature which is similar to one pedal
Captain, spotted, Porsche Macanese over there.
Does anyone know when PTS will be available in configurator?
Your local P-car dealer perhaps...
Who watches a video on a Porsche and then complains about the price in the comments?! 🤦♂️
Or the people that already own a new Porsche Macan and don’t think this is worth the £30-£50k premium. People can have enough money to buy a Porsche but still think this is over-priced. Or are those people not allowed to have an opinion?
🤣
Porches have always offered good value. Yes, prices are somewhat higher than average, but the value has been there. Not sure that's the case with the Macan, however.
I hate driving EVs even though I’ve never driven one and the Macan is way too expensive even though I’m not in the market for one.

Great review Nicki. I'm not the target audience, but I'd be curious if they fix the travel sickness or if someone can explain why it happens!
What caused the sickness. Turns or acceleration?
In truth, I was here just to see Nikki.. 🙂
It's literally the same as all the other Macans (which is now the only model going full electric from it's ICE counterpart). Still has silly "drive modes" and "sport sounds".. full of gimmicks. On top of that, it's got no 1 pedal driving??? Which means you'll be using up the brakes since this thing weighs as much as large boat...
A legacy car maker still trying to transition over to an EV future...
Mate, if you are only here to see Niki, then you need to get out more!
@@grahamcook9289 😂 Most of the presenters on this channel are great. Add in the accent, and yeah, it's hard for someone not to click on the video. Even though you have no interest for the vehicle in question. 🙂
Unfortunately in the area I live in, I simply don't encounter these types of people. C'est la Vie... Still enjoy watching the vids.. 🙂
@@neoanderson7 Sorry mate, but you still need to get out more.
When braking blends regen and the physical brakes and the Porsche breaks have a special coating so that will never be an issue
I wouldn't kick Nicki out of bed
People are getting travel sick while driving it?? I get that as a passenger, but I’ve never experienced it as a driver. That doesn’t sound good.
I know. Very curious situation. I can’t imagine what is going on with that
Also curious. The features, looks and performance don’t matter much if you and the passengers get car sick in it.
Winding roads, full torque......whats gona not happen?
Looks great, company buyers are going to lap this up. Shame about the massive price increase.
The number ONE thing I like in EVs is one pedal driving… Why not give it as an optional setting?
Perhaps if the market, customers, make it very apparent that is our desired feature, they will OTA update and include it in future examples.
Because it s Porsche. If you want one pedal driving or car "driving itself" buy something else.
I love it 👍👍👍👍❤❤❤
which color was that?
Speed Yellow
Can’t afford it, but love it!
Hugely distracted by the giant trousers.
😅
Not in a good way 😢
Which exterior colour option is this please?
Aventurine Green
Beautiful car
Looks amazing much better than current Macan.
What exterior color is this?
Curing EV anxiety one video at a time. I like it when an EV doesn't feel like an EV. It's why I don't rate Teslas very higly. The Volve EX40 does a brilliant job at this as well. Personally, looking forward to the Renault 5. It will be a best seller. Sad there's no EV car called Zeus.
Seriously? Once you have driven a Tesla for a while, with one pedal driving, instant acceleration etc. every other car you sit in feels old fashioned and a bit rubbish.
Tesla’s are amazing. Look at all the others trying to catch up.
For about €25'000 less you get a much more modern NIO EL7 with much more luxury, better software and sensors, more space and more power (except you go with the Turbo). It has Smart Air suspension by default with continous damping control (to avoid sea sickness). Porsche is going to have a hard time once people understand how good NIO is in comparison.
I never thought I'd say this about a Porsche, but I would actually consider buying the new Macan.
They couldn't resist the urge to put a motorised rear wing on the ev as well
How many turbos does it have?😅😂
Not a bag gig this EV journalism!
Turbo looks good, regular one is a little too slick like a Mercedes
Best EV
They should've made it a Macan Turbo Performance Hybrid - or perhaps they will in the next Macan iteration ... Porsche invested $100m in an eFuels company in Chile and company statements said they expect to commercialize a Porsche eFuel by 2030. Creating a Macan with an eFuel compatible ICE (v6/?v8) combined with a self-charging (or plug-in) hybrid module would be a wiser strategy than EV-only.
You do realize we need to cut carbon emissions and not just reduce them, right?
@@snakeeyes9246 Oh really? The level of ignorance oozing from your comment is astonishing, but in this world of miss-information and virtue-signaling empowered through social-media amplification, I wouldn't expect anything else ...
If I was ready to commit to an EV any time in the near future, I'd definitely consider this new Macan, as it looks fantastic. But I think Porsche pulled the trigger too early on going EV only, especially as the UK Gov have pushed the date for EV only sales back to 2035.
It’s no longer about regulation. There is demand as more people experience EVs and the charging network expands.
still confused, how exactly to pronounce Macan. I thought it came from Indonesian language for Tiger. Because when it's called ma-khan then it means eat in Indonesian
I call mine a mak-anne, but then i can never bring myself to say Porsha. Mine is a Porsh Mak-anne
With all the 💩 that’s going on in the world who gives a 💩
WANT!
Such a small boot space for a large suv? my Q4 is bigger and ok the Q4 has no Frunk!! OMG where did you get the 1970's flares from 🙂 You obviously have a smaller der·rière than you thought 🙂
Will sell in huge numbers. Huge.
In a perfect world yes, but then the previous generation Macan could pull up alongside you and rev its engine and it looks much better also.
@@Shea-austin All Macans look bad, period.
Well, maybe if you can afford it.
It will sell well. But at those prices it wont have huge sales numbers.
Yea. Just like the Tycan 😂
I probably wouldn't use that much grey plastic / fake leather for the interior design.
You can remove it all…..at a price. Extended leather removes all the fake leather and a lot of the plastic. This is the problem, to make it feel like a premium car you need to throw loads of expensive options at it.
Yes! Finally! A car car guys can't hate!
that's a lie... Car guys will always find something to hate
Tesla has already changed my mind. It doesn't take an overcharged Porche to do it
Nice looking Renault 5
I love the macan EV. but £70k starting price...
The pricing is definitely problematic. 4 is pricey and surprisingly slow too but turbo version is wayyy overpriced.
"The EV even EV haters will love" @ £95k a pop i very much doubt it love. Way more better options out there.
11:15 The horsepower number is way off, the Turbo has 630 HP, not 360.
Perfect presentation, sounds really clever, a welcome departure from a certain Mat W. Except: It's PorschEE, not Porsch.
Porsch
Likely a great used buy in 3-4 years.
If you want an EV that can make you feel like driving an ice sports car, has one-pedal driving, and is cheaper with insane charging - just get an Ionic 5N.
The EV that manufacturers are bringing out are stunning but the price is what going to make consumers think 50/50.
You sit 3cm lower in this SUV than a petrol Macan. What were they thinking !? Most people buy an SUV to sit higher. My next will be a Cayenne I'm afraid.
I always assumed it was a Macan, not a macaaan.
The design is way better than the new Taycan.
No one pedal driving?! … deal breaker.
I kind of agree. I’m guessing that soon it will they will add switchable 1 pedal driving
This is a weird time to live in, I can outrun a top model Porsche in Volvo’s cheapest car. Not because the Porsche is slow, but because cars get ridiculous amounts of power for no reason 🤣.
Also, why is it called “Turbo” there is not a single turbine in this car 😂
I kinda think the same way. I think it would be a travesty to buy the version 4 and get overtaken by the likes of volvo ex30 but on the other hand the turbo is way overpriced.
Porsche should give drivers the option to use or not to use one pedal driving. Too dictatorial.
Nah, modulating braking is core part of the experience. If it’s not important to you there are plenty of other less driver focused alternatives. Respect to a company that sticks to its principles
Well, it will not effect the success of this car - and this has nothing to do with dictatorial.
@@mattleistner313 I agree that it will not affect the success of the car but I will not be part of it and have cancelled my reservation.
@@antonymcneillis 😂. All the more goodness for the rest of us
Goodbye, buy another car, you smart ass!
Not having one pedal driving is a deal breaker for me.
It still uses regen breaking, so no difference to the breaking feel, just a slight delay in getting on the brakes.
As soon as my daughter finishes private school I'm buying a Porsche
There was a time when lots of products were called turbo for no apparent reason. Turbo aftershave anyone? (the unique fragrance of combusted gasoline). Possibly still nicer than Brut 33 though.
Why why why are the EV Porsche 'Turbo' models not 'Supercharged' It would make so much sense!
Is it not basically a audi etron with a more expensive badge.
Right, if they were in the parking lot together YOU probably couldn’t tell them apart
God no… the etron is a tank 👎
No regen braking ? That’s surprising, leaving a benefit off. Those Porsche brakes cost a bit I bet
It does have regen braking. I suppose you just don't know the difference between regeneration and one pedal drive?
I WOULD BUY BUT I NEED TO RECHARGE IN 3 MINUTES MAX AND HAVE A RANGE OF 600+
What's wrong with the suspension? If the presenter and the video guy and a few other reviewers also had the same feeling of being queasy, then it could have been the food at the Porsche presser or the suspension tuning is all wrong. There's too much movement in the suspension at the beginning of travel, making the vehicle feel like it's wallowing.
Anyone buying this will put it, and leave it, in Sports Plus mode, I'd bet 🙂
Great if you like riding a kangaroo. Sports plus is meant for track days not around town.
I doubt it will do 4.2 miles per kWh. 3, maybe.
So you think they are lying about the specs? Crazy.
I wish YTers would stop asking for like/sub/comment before us viewers even have a reason.
Bullshit. The 996 of the future 😂❤️We have 2 Macans atm, besides other cars and we really are not impressed.
Overproduced and cheeky. She needs to go on a real road trip. She really learn and understand EV technology.
She sounds like she’s presenting Playschool. 🙄
Holy ef it’s $100,000 for a Macan, their budget vehicle. No no no
It’s $79k
5:40 is she 4'11?
I know they were probably filmed at different times, but it feels like Nikki was pulling rank a bit here!
Poor Nicola was in a Vauxhall yesterday. Meanwhile, Nikki gets a Porsche in France.
Who says it ‘Macaan’?
I' m sure this well over 2 ton uni dimensional electric toaster will sell like cup cakes...I'll be here to check the 'amazing' sales figures. Some people will buy 10 of these and then beg for an RS... no it doesn't drive like a Porsche...it drives like a VW...wait for the whole family to arrive...
It’s Macan not Macan
No It’s Macan not Macan
How much does this thing cost 💰💰💰💰????? Of course EV owners will hate this! 😜
As much as you want this EV thing to flourish, it won’t, you only have to look at the horror story of horrendous depreciation of the taycan. Overpriced and overweight battery powered vehicles are not the answer and certainly not for Porsche owners!
Sounds like an overpriced waste of money. And please stop using WLTP range. It wildly overestimates the range
$120 Geeeeeezzzzzzz……..😑
Good luck Porsche. Now the Macan is too expensive for Macan buyers and they've made it EV only. What a total cock up. I'm out, back to Audi or Merc when it comes time to get rid of my GTS.
I'm curious how close drivers will get to 4 miles/KWh. I'm also curious as to what level of losses occur during charging. Harry's Garage seems to be the only channel that acknowledges the true mileage of EV's when you factor in thermal losses when you charge. That can account for another 10% of energy used (and paid for) that doesn't get quoted in efficiency stats.
The charging losses are relatively small. There will always be losses during transmitting and charging batteries. The important bit is that the losses are tiny in comparison to the inefficiencies of ICE fuel transportation and burning.
@@Jamessansome But it's still a loss that no one quotes and Harry's garage has found it to be as high as 10% which is not a small amount. I understand the efficiencies of electric drivetrains but, they're not proving to be as economical as many thought or hoped and the high cost of fast charging rather negates many of the advantages EV's should have. I don't hate EV's, I'm just not yet convinced.
@@Jamessansome I'll be interested what Harry's Garage gets as a real-world efficiency for the Macan....
Are parachute pants a thing again?! Please no...
It won't change the average earners mind as it's way out of reach, it's a car for the few, not the many.
Thanks for figuring out that a Porsche is a premium car. Chevy bolts are on the next aisle. Go there
@@rcpmac Now now, don't be getting yourself into such a state 😂😂
I understand why everyone fan boys over Porsche. but if anyone else( oh say ford/gm) came out without this shape I wonder what the fanboys would say. with sales of approx 23K units....its just for rich fan boys. who want everyone to look at them.
Are you new to cars? Looks just like the Genesis GV60
huge respect for correct pronunciation of Porsche by not calling it PorscheA 😆😅😁
What a snob.
