Porsche’s mini SUV has had a major revamp for 2024, and there’s one key difference - it’s gone fully ELECTRIC! Now that might sound like a bad thing to some but Porsche being Porsche has gone all out on the engineering of the new Macan.
Let’s have a closer look shall we. On the outside Porsche has done what they usually do and kept the design pretty similar to the previous car but still made some notable changes. Starting at the front the grille has been swapped for a larger lower air intake, and the new headlights are almost exactly the same as the Taycan.
From the side there’s not a huge difference to the current Macan but you can start to see one big change they have actually made. And that of course is the rear, you now have a much more squat looking rear-end which helps with the aerodynamics of the car, whether it looks better or not, we’ll leave that up to you.
On the inside the new Macan is again pretty similar to the Taycan, but that’s no bad thing is it? The driver gets a high resolution curved display as well as a large infotainment screen in the centre of the dash. Even the front passenger gets their own display that is perfect for watching Carwow on.
Then of course getting rid of the ICE version of the Macan does has some benefits, one of those being, performance. The entry-level dual-motor can produce 408hp, while the top-of-the-range Turbo can put down 640hp and an mind bending 1,130Nm of torque - that’s 80Nm more than the Taycan Turbo S! Porsche also claims it should be able to hit 60mph in just 3.3 seconds but we’ll see what it can really do in this video!
The new Macan will start at around £70,000, rising to around £95,000 for the Turbo edition. But is it worth it?! You’ll need to stick with Mat and see for yourself!

The 2024 Macan is 8.3/10 for me.

I'd never buy an electric car, I'd rather go to jail.

You should start showing the cars at night. Lights are a big part of how cars look.
And also makes those cars more beautiful to look at night.
The interior lighting on the current macan is appalling, and the headlights are pretty bad too.
yea, agreed. So much of the design goes into lights, light bars, interior lights, brake lights, blinkers, etc.. it should be a part of the review ..
They don’t let you take the cars away overnight during a press drive
Get a Christmas tree...?
I’m happy to see everyone caught on to the airbags being optional. It’s not just Porsche; it’s literally all the big German brands money pinching their customers. I visited both of the Audi and Mercedes configurators online and saw that they were even charging for airbags. Literally outrageous, charging money for a life saving thing that should be standard.
We must put pressure on these companies to give us basic things standard, especially when it comes to safety systems and assisted driving technology.
I am fine if things like different leathers and wood trims are optional extras but an airbag? Unbelievable
Not correct. Side airbags cannot be used with child seats in the rear. That is why they are optional.
@@BlixemBlixem I understand, but not everyone is gonna be a baby in a car seat/child seat. But if this is a concern for some customers, manufacturers can at least warn of it.
Yea its scummy, all German car brands do this. Guess some part of their nazi-roots never disappear.
Former Nazis don't care about human lives unfortunately
You're not going to have a child seat in there forever....@@BlixemBlixem
Having to pay extra for an airbag in a car it's like going to the pub ordering Fish and chips and when the food comes finding out that the chips were an extra! completely ridiculous.
Well, they kind of are. If you buy fish and chips you are paying for both the fish and the chips, and you can buy fish on its own or chips on their own so as analogies go that one doesn’t really work. Also worth pointing out rear side airbags were always an option on the macan and it does come as standard with rear curtain airbags
I think we are all fed a diet of "standard equipment as standard" IF it had every conceivable extra the price would be horrendous...no one would buy it ! Porsche had to reel the price level in to an acceptable amount and you pay for that. Porsche is hardly a family car and do you really really need airbags at every corner ? I am from a time not long past where it was a novelty to have a bag on the steering wheel never mind anywhere else !
I would never order fish and chips I would order a real dish
@@BenelliMrpan fried monkfish and potato gratin?
@@omnicognatesnr5947 lol: I believe that I should invite you for a real lunch. What about the following: going to the fish market in the morning, buying a fish caught at night on a small boat in the cold Atlantic waters, a seda bass or turbot for example; grilling it to perfection at noon, filled with fresh lemon and orange slices, fresh rosemary, sea salt, pepper from Angola, fresh garlic from the garden, grilled to perfection, and served with a white Alentejo reserva wine; eaten around the pool in the sun of the Algarve while enjoying the dark blue ocean view 300 days per year: tempted??? Or you still want to tempt me with fish and chips? Want to come?
people wont steal this headlights now
They will steal the DRLs now
*Don’t read my name..…😮*
Challenge accepted
Wrong choice of words.
@@SolaricAngel116 people are not going to steal this type of Porsche headlights
That gimmicky electric charging flap costs more than the rear passenger's side airbag that could potentially save a child's life lol
How expensive the 2024 Porsche Macan could be? For me it could be $78.900.
That's why they put price so low so people will pay the 315 to have it on the car
*Don’t read my name..…😮*
@@DontReadMyPicture93 ok
and the dumbest shit besides the electric charging flap, that also needs to be closed by pressing another key, is imo the tow hook. They make you press a damn button and let it pull it yourself in and out like a peasant, lol. Not very porsche.
Drove past a Lambo dealership yesterday. All they had in the window were their SUVs. Seems so sad that most buyers who walk into a super car dealership leave with a van.
well what do u expect? suvs are the best selling vehicles atm so of course they are going to be in the window
@@julius_. that is indeed what I expect. I know it’s the trend. It’s a gaff trend. And it’s so sad. When I used to see a lambo on the road I’d go “ooooo”, now they’re just like all the other Chelsea Tractors
@@julius_. you clearly are not too clever.
£100k for that model before options? No thank you.
...for a VW ID with Porsche Body panels.
Making airbags optional is literally telling your customers that you don't care about them but just about their money. Which we all know is the case but it's a pretty bold move to pull out in the open.
Rear airbags have always been optional on the Macan.
Weight saving
Optional rear airbags is normal in many, many cars.
Don't confuse the side seat airbag (option) with the side curtain airbag (standard). I think Matt has confused these too. The curtain is far more important than the seat option. 11:48. All the various global safety tests are done WITHOUT the optional airbags
I think it’s an EU thing, that’s not an available option on North American Macan EV. It would be interesting to know why, Europe typically has smaller cars and lower speed roads and therefore lower safety requirements for passengers maybe? Correct me if I’m wrong.
That front looks like it belongs on a different car
A Chinese one
Yep. More like the front end like it came from 2004 Elise 111R.😅
@@187marter Exactly
A Renault 5. But in the R5 fits fine.
@@187marterAbsolutely my thoughts too! I don't think it's particularly good looking to be honest..
For those asking where this was filmed.
He started in Port Gallice, at Juan les pins (south of France), went through Antibes, along the Route du bord de mer. The winding road was between La Colle sur Loup and Pont du loup, to finish at Nice airport.
Awesome to see my hometown in your video Carwow, thank you!
nobody asked where this is filmed
@@atlas5459 He might be a French clairvoyant. I was thinking it.
No one cares.
1:56 I really really dislike this double headlight design many new cars start to adopt.
Am I the only one?
This Porsche, the BMW i7, many Citroën models as Mat said himself.
It looks horrible to me, and after almost 2 years I still didn't get used to it from the i7.
It looks awful
Forgot to mention the new Audi Q6 etron... I think on this it looks ok, on the BMW XM it's decent as well, but on the i7 and X7 it is pretty badly integrated so it looks ugly.
It's to appeal to the Chinese market I believe. It doesn't align with Western aesthetics at all imo
They’re hideous. Full stop.
It's because it's confusing. Your eyes can't rest hence giving you an uneasy feeling. I get the same vibe. I don't like it.
My first Porsche was electric. It was remote controlled and it was awesome.
Your last Porsche will also be electric? Since you're not getting any other Porsche than the remote controlled one? 😅

Putting 'turbo' in an electric car's name feels like a paradox. It's like selling safety but making airbags optional-these features should come standard if you care about your customers, not just their wallets!
turbo had already lost its meaning in Porsche gas lineup 🙄 turbo just means "fast", turbo S "faster"
Turbo lost its meaning ages ago, it just means 'fast' now
It's like making vegan hamburgers.... Oh wait!
@@rickygforce4217 only Porsche does it..
Hi. I think many people watch your movies where is metric system km, litres etc. Could you add small text when talking about the range or fuel consumption showing it in metric system? Similar like Doug DeMuro chanel does. Thanks.
i just took a dump
2.9 miles per kWh is really good for how you were driving. I probably skimmed over it, but it looks like it has pretty big tires so altogether it’s good range
And I was hoping this "range per amount" crap would be over with BEVs.
4mi/kWh is the modern standard for economical driving, for reference.
@@M3dicayne miles per gallon, miles per kWh… How would you prefer to measure it? Wh/mi?
@@mramg6038 What vehicles are getting that? I don’t doubt what you’re saying. I’m just interested in which cars are that efficient?
@@craig8638 The Kia EV6 gets around 4.0, the Tesla model S around 4.4ish. Only others ones I’ve owned are the BMW i3 which was around 3.4 (not really designed for motorway speeds) and the Leaf which was around 3.6 from memory, but terrible in Winter due to not having the battery heater.
That front looks weird.I like old Macan more.
Can’t understand why would design the rear camera to stick up and be invisible whole time. Why not hide the rear camera under the spoiler. Where is the roof spoiler? wich would make the look less bald…. There is so many ugly and wrong details witch make me question about is Porsches head of design fit to job….
@@SS.1. which?
Ok boomer
Ah yes, *Turbo* Macan, More like *Turboless macan*
For me this is more like NA (Naturally Aspirated) Macan.
@@purwantiallan5089 It's electric
Idk who needs 640hp in macan, i mean when does it stops. In 10 years audi RS3 is going to be 1000hp eletric 2.5 tons hypercar.
Maybe they think of turbo more in a sense of the heritage of that word: Turbine. And electric motors are mostly turbines as I can recall.
looks like a taycan SUV
the HUD is so big
my gosh how did they manage to fit in there
So big I just keep staring at it ❤
As huge as the package Matt is carrying.
2:00 honorable mention the Jeep Cherokee started sales in Nov 2013 with the separate LED and headlights
I just don't like the dual headlight design - kind of like on the BMW i7. Why couldn't they just have gone with the upper, Taycan headlight part??
More ‘Boat Wow’ segments please. The boat snapshot was great.
Half these commenters will want sailing boats to have their masts ripped off and replaced with V8s...
We want a Matt v Yanni boat race
Still waiting for Matt to talk about a Porsche or any sports car for that matter without bringing up his GT3 RS…
My cupholders don't have ambient lighting.
I now feel empty inside 😢
They ruined the front sleek design by making it boxy
Disagree the new headlights look amazing imo.
@@user-my4xu4gf1zthey look good but don't deserve in a porsche neither a Macan. If you showed me this without telling it's a Porsche I'd say it's a chinese car
@@user-my4xu4gf1z The DRL looks good, the split headlights look like ass.
@@centauri201 I'd say it's a porsche because the headlights look just like the taycans.
@@user-my4xu4gf1zI think the top part of the front looks too much like the taycan, which makes it look weird, I guess because my brain is used to seeing the taycan, it’s like an uncanny valley sort of thing. Perhaps it will get better with time
They should call it "Super Charged" vs "Turbo", at least it's a word play on "charged"
Why abandon an easy to understand and well established naming system? The only people “TURBO” upsets, are teenagers who will never be able to buy any Porsche
@@Kurre. Because there's no turbo in an EV... Apparently, you don't know what turbo is 🤦
@@KenCheng I do know what a turbo is, I have studied mechanical engineering. Did you know that there are many things that have names that don’t accurately describe them yet people still buy those things!?!?! A load of lifted hatchbacks are called SUVs even tho they are just hatchback. Guess what, PEOPLE STILL BUY THEM. A name will not impact anything. The old diesel Macan is a bigger stain on Porsches name than this will ever be…
Oh i like that! Has anyone done it? Reminiscent of the supercharged of yesteryears!
@@KenChengshut up kenny
Where is this place shot from? Looks amazing.
The liftoff regen is such a misunderstood concept even manufacturers like Porsche can't be honest about it.
Regen on accelerator release is a way to remove the lag between acceleration and deceleration: you absolutely *can* coast with regen even at its maximum setting, you simply need to be more precise with the throttle, which is why on the motorway you would lower the regen, while in town or country roads you would increase the regen effect.
Obviously if you drive more sportily you would prefer less regen so you have a wider accelerator curve and you would use the brake anyway.
why you don't throw the shelf to the sea?
stop poluting the sea
@@rc666poluting the sea probably gonna make them so much worse.
Because he knows he will have to sell his cayenne to pay for it
Drive the whole travesty into the sea while your at it!
Why doesen't he throw the car in the sea?
It's probably the ugliest Porsche ever!
The rear design without a spoiler is just too weird for me

Exactly what i was gonna comment
Hey Matt! Big Fan of your videos, been watching it since you're Auto Express era or even earlier than than! If i may ask a favor. WOULD YOU PLEASE REVIEW THE LEXUS IS!!! Nevermind the IS300, IS350, or IS500, either one will just do! You've got the ES, UX, NX, RX even the GS but c'mon the IS is a well deserve car to be reviewed by you. Im sure the views will be totally worth it! Cheers!
11:50 The option is for rear torso airbags which very few cars have and it isn't neccessary for a good safety rating. The curtain head protection airbag is standard.
The south coast of France already looking insanely beautiful this time of year
I would pay extra to put back the traditional Porsche logo on the turbo

Hey carwow, great content as always. Where in France was this shot?
This style of content and breaking down the interior are absolutely fantastic. Everything was so smooth and clean.
6:13 "And while you are down there darling" 🤣
Matt, don't ever change ❤
Glad i wasn’t the only one that noticed 😭
Did Porsche borrow BMW designers for a project, or is it a rule that EV crossovers have to be hideous? This is iX levels of being hard to look at.
To be fair, are there _any_ nice crossovers?
@@drunkenhobo8020 Not anymore, the last Macan was probably the only one.
It's terrible indeed
I actually think it looks pretty good. I wont be buying one though, because the price point is just insane.
Agree. It looks like it's an obese version of last generation macan lol. All porsches, even the cayenne, look sleek and streamlined in some way. This just does not imo.
do any suvs in this class have rear windows that roll all the way down? maybe that kia cube?
Hi Mat, should consider drag racing the W212 E63 vs the F10 M5 vs the C7 RS6/RS7 that'd be insane
Front looks like a big old school Renault 5 turbo
Man, i still miss the old Renault 5 Turbo that also ever competed in WRC.
*Don’t read my name..…😮*
new R5 is amazing looking
you should try the sound system in the car, speakers and sound quality
Those front light designs reminds me of the Renault Kwid😂. I think they should've used a more advanced and slimmer design for the actual lights, theu so big it looks like halogens could fit
I wanted to see the review on the BMW IX but couldn’t get it because I’m using my phone to watch this particular video😂😂
Just keep the 911 with ICE please! 😢❤
Putting 911 and 911 GT3RS on Electrics definitely gonna ruin the sound.
Wait until you hear about the 992.2 generation
911 hybrid next year
@@wocklover3958 so how do you feel about it?
Porsche is an outspoken supporter od the ICE. They invest in bio-fuel research and the chief manager of the 911 line has declared that they want to keep as much ICE in the 911 as possible as long as they legally can.
I'm not sure what you are saying about the grill at the front. Being electric, it does need air flow for the radiators cooling the battery pack.
Yes being an ICE owner of the precious model. Am apprehensive of this new EV variant. Exterior styling wise is ok.
The Macan EV control knobs are black plastic in the video, while on the out going Macans are metal.
It gets a D.....for depreciation 😊
That's good for me in the future.
Like all the mass produced cars ever invented for the last 100 years. What r u on about?
@snakeeyes9246 good for a lot of people claiming the depreciation as a tax write off.
As opposed to every other car that appreciates?
It gets D, like your mum 😳
Remember the days when the Chavy little mk3 fiesta owners would slap a 'Turbo' badge on their car thinking they were cool.... here we go again!
This place was stunning, should film more in this area. Where is it?
I understand that the option for side airbags may not be necessary for every purchase, especially for vans, which are commonly used as company cars in Denmark due to the associated tax benefits. Given the high cost of cars in Denmark, it's practical to have the flexibility to save money where possible.
Fisker tow hitch: annoying feature. Macan tow hitch: Cool feature and "no big problem" 💀
Yeah! I noticed that as well. 🤣 Why is it annoying on thr Fisker but not on the Porsche?
Its so weird but neat at the same time
The back of 2024 Porsche Macan feels like Panamera 2017.
I currently choose cars after searching by engine. That is, I like six-cylinder cars for both everyday use and special use. Of course, I also like some cars with a V8 or V12, but I personally don't want to drive a four-cylinder car.
That means if I were shopping for the old Macan, I wouldn't choose the Golf GTi engine, unless I was shopping for my wife, and would choose the V6. For me, it's all about engine characteristics and the sound. And as I drive exclusively on public roads, there's only so much performance I can use safely, so the mega power models have pretty much lost the appeal they used to have.
Now what? Moreover, I can see that for many people brand is no longer as important as tech. So, for everyday use why is someone going to choose a Macan Turbo for about 110-115k including options over say a Kia EV6 GT for about 65k fully loaded? Is the Macan Turbo really worth 50k more? Does a Macan really have significantly more cachet? In London, I see them everywhere, and so they're in no way special. They're just a nice, quality car. That's it.
In the EV world, I think the established premium brands, except maybe Range Rover and of course Rolls-Royce are going to really struggle. The likes of Porsche are going to become tech brands, who are going to be asking double for their tech, which will be as out of date in less than a year as everyone else's.
The days of choosing a car based on its beating heart will be over if all you can buy is an EV. As impressive as that electric motor is, for its power and efficiency in such a compact package, it is not going to motivate me to fork out the big bucks, and even if you could, you wouldn't open the bonnet to look at it or show it off.
I used to buy Samsung phones, now I have an LG and my wife has a Xiaomi Redmi. I can't see me ever buying a Samsung again, even if the price was the same, as my last Samsung never got a single Android update. And I can't see me ever buying an Apple phone.
While I'm not convinced by the likes of BYD, in the EV world at present I think it would be difficult to convince me to buy something other than a Tesla Model 3, especially new. Before all the negative press about EVs, I was thinking about dipping our toes into the world of EVs. I thought as city run-arounds, EVs could make a lot of sense, while reserving ICE for weekends. I was thinking about a used Model 3 Performance for myself, and a used MG 5 for my wife. Prices have dropped significantly since then, and now first gen Taycans are also very tempting. But I'm not going to buy any EV in the foreseeable future, especially not a Taycan with all its reported faults.
I'm sticking with ICE until something significant changes, even for running around the city. The old Macan was as a car for every person as much as a Porsche could be. IMO, this new Macan is priced beyond what most people can stretch themselves to acquire. Not only do I expect the new Cayman/Boxsters to be similarly priced, IMO an EV sports car is an oxymoron. While well suited to achieving low 0-60 and 1/4 mile times, IMO a sports car requires an ICE and relatively low weight. Two-and-a-half tonnes for a Macan. That's the weight of a full-size Range Rover!
And what about all the mandatory big brother and nanny tech from 2024? How easy is it to turn off lane keep assist?
My local taxi company would like this because like their cars it is extremely ugly. When Matt was jerking about pushing the throttle down continuously, they are better than him at doing this in traffic so you get the added bonus of neck or back whiplash. They brake heavily before they tailgate other drivers. So it is the speed up brake hard workout. I bet the Macan has great brakes. The insurance for the taxi would cost a fortune though! The devaluation after 6 years would be spectacular especially being fully electric. You can buy a secondhand Tesla Model S for 25k now. If I wanted a electric car it represents better value even though you cannot repair it with its fixed chassis if you have a bad accident.Not to mention build quality and some tech issues. Still if it does not breakdown a gift for that price compared to this. Personally I would prefer A Amg Gt Black Merc but That is a distant dream.
@2:02 mins - Matt your Wrong , that current Trend started with the 2010 Nissan Juke . though the idea was first used in 1998 Fiat Multipla and the 2000 Pontiac Aztec and 2003 Rolls Royce Phantom. But it picked up officially with the 2010 Nissan Juke . That is Facts, i did my research
Matt, the ICE Macan will still be sold in North America. Only Europe is losing the gas version.
no, every place is loosing every ICE car
@@JohnSmith-pn2vl Every car reviewer that I follow says otherwise.

No boot space, weird back seat space, electric only, turbo ?, airbag for option…this is going down Porsche 😢
Will depreciate faster than a superyacht
It will make the depreciation of the Taycan look sensible. I spoke to my Porsche dealer recently, and he is terrified of this thing, and basically wish it had never been created.

If you deplete the 12V battery, your HV battery won't charge either. So there's no issue with the cover not opening anyway.
the speaker isn't correctly installed. Quality issue. HOW DID YOU NOT NOTICE
God, I just loved the old Macan. The only thing I wished was the newer interior, now the only thing I wish it had is an engine. God damn it Porsche.
Wonder when someone will start to release twin-turbo electric cars. 😂
Maybe an (B) i-Turbo ?
@@pezz38 Right
The hip point for rear passengers is 15 cm lower than the previous model? 15 mm, surely?
No mention of battery architecture, battery source, likely longevity or future-proofed upgradeability. Traditional car journalism will have to adapt in fundamental ways in order to remain relevant in the new age of EVs
when will they learn? double light just don't works if you want sexy car. overall great design, but front ruins a lot by this.
Looks much nicer than most electric options. Tesla’s look like the front and back were designed by two different people who never met…
Tesla Model Y has different options.
new 2024 model 3 looks a bit better.
@@Just_a_random_birbno it doesn't this guys comment was spot on. The new model 3 looks like a weird Chinese fish from the front albeit more of a sleek design but then the rest of the car turns into the iconic tesla "blob" design. The front is sleek then it slowly turns into an egg shape. It doesn't match up design wise.
People buy teslas becuase they are cheap EV options not becuase they look cool.
@@user-my4xu4gf1z The old one looks like a frog. Which one is better? The chineese fish of course.
Just to clarify - they will still be selling the internal combustion Macan alongside this one. So don’t fret if you’re interested in a traditional ICE Macan
How many "you can" did you say? When you add all these features the cost is probably 30% more !
Standard features seem very basic.
just a wider and taller taycan, noted
Wider and taller Taycan?
The current macan was advertised as a wider taller 911, so….
And way more ugly too
Its not even sitting on the same platform. Completely different technology. So it is not a taller Taycan. The Taycan is still made to be a sports car compared to other 4 door cars
@@roxasunited He's not saying it's the same car but different. He's just saying the design looks similar to a wider and taller Taycan or, in other words, like an SUV version of the Taycan
i cancelled my order for this, ordered a fully loaded Polestar 4 performance and saved around 30k also.
You are not going to save anything pal. Vertical depreciation is the new term for EV cars. Polestar was valued at ZERO dollars recently, volvo are dumping onto the Chinese.
Can’t understand why would design the rear camera to stick up and be invisible whole time. Why not hide the rear camera under the spoiler. Where is the roof spoiler? wich would make the look less bald…. There is so many ugly and wrong details witch make me question about is Porsches head of design fit to job….

Where is the foot-garage? There was just a regular flat battery in the "technology" part of the car shown?
I'm sure I'm not the only one to notice Volkswagen and Bosch on the motor cut away scene - could they at least stamp PORSCHE on the motor?
Well, they stamped PORSCHE on a VW I.D.
Its a huge misplay by Porsche to ditch fossil fuel from their most popular car. They will come back fast though.
Ever heard of emission regulations, especially in the EU? There won't be an ICE Macan (or 718) again. Also Porsche already stated a couple of weeks ago they were overwhelmed by the amount of preorders the Macan recieved (over 10.000)
Yeah,
"Novelty effect"
Let's wait for a full year or 2 of your "10000 overwhelmed preorders "😂@@alexanderhaase2765
They did this so they could still sell the 911 with a combustion engine. Pretty simple.
@@alexanderhaase2765 it depends on the Macan EV sales Porsche said. If it's bad we will get a new ICE Macan
@@alexanderhaase2765 No more ICE and manual transmissions from Porsche?
Is this for real.....How boring world has become, robotic soyciety
You CANT Turbo an electric motor.
Is it possible to do NA Tuning on an electric motor?
@@purwantiallan5089 you could probably push the batteries overclock them maybe in the future
But you can still suck.
YES you can, you put a more powerful motors. Why is this so hard for people to comprehend???? LOL
The Turbo on an EV it will obviously not be the same as combustion engine. However TURBO is not connotative of JUST combustion engines.
I can tell my boy to get his turbo going when dressing - Then Porsche EVs can also
5:44 the word "something" does not have a "k" on the end Matt!!
Yeah his "g" aint silent in many words. Got to be some dialect.
Matt through 90% of the video: "Porsh"
Matt when in the showroom in front of the Porsche staff: "Porsh-uh"
Not a fortune teller, but I predict the next Macan will be petro powered after record reduction in sales.
I disagree. I think fewer people will buy this but more because of the price rather than than it being electric. But as its 30% more expensive than the ICE version they can sell fewer and still make as much money
@@omnicognatesnr5947 the reason it costs more is that it costs more to make.
Where did they put the Turbo??
In their a.. 😅
Banging the same drum since 2019 🙄
2:04 - It was not started by Citroen and the Picasso. The Nissan Juke already had that.
Panoramic sunroofs in SUVs are a total waste in warm climates, plus you lose headroom in the back. The main reason to Shortlist (or worse) it is the hefty price and insane cost of extras, not whether it's available as an ICE or not.
With the potholes in our roads, 18” wheels might be safer, for the tyres and your teeth.
No rear wiper? Might as well take the mirror away then in rain. I’ve had a Macan for 10 years and the rear wiper is essential,
If you use the rear view mirror.
I have a gen 3 macan S. The rear wiper is utterly essential. You can get one on the Macan EV but its about £350 as an optional extra.
yea but your macan was slow af, this doesn't need a wiper
Where is the model 3 performance video?
The switches in the back may be a real issue. I sold a Porsche Panamera the other day, AC toggle fell off in the rear cabin. Not snapped, just fell off and got lost.
New button - $4000. It requires a panel! Porsche have missed a trick by not supplying buttons on their own.
2:20 “Going back to their roots” yeah an electric SUV just screams heritage
Mat was on about the design when he said that, not the engine 🥱
@@AirMelosity Ik, just a funny thought
An all-terrain hybrid electric "macan" was one of Ferdinand Porsche's first vehicles...
how is it turbo ??
Hmmm, still not over the whole 'Why is called a turbo when it doesn't have a turbo' thing eh? It's only been five years.
@@martinogold your comment made zero sense man ! - you had to even edit it because you talking rubbish
The reason the screen for the passenger turns black from the driver's side when driving, is because they don't want the driver getting distracted by a video on the screen when driving and must just focus on driving.
The space in the back, for not being able to strecth your feet and for those at 6ft+ hitting their head would be a dealbreaker for me! Why make an SUV that has passenger space like a Mini Cooper?
Headlights being lower than the DRL is a massive blunder
no
