Evs need lighter higher energy dense batteries as high as atleast 450wh/kg cells otherwise they wont be popular any time soon because they are too heavy and not practical at all,people want at least 400 miles on highway 70 mph range
I think what manufacturers are going to find is that hybrids are required in colder climates. So expect some sort of internal combustion no matter what. People have been losing half their range in cold weather plus degradation and are taking major depreciation losses on electric cars mainly because of the cost of battery repairs or replacement.

TBH, if you want an electric Porsche, this makes a whole lot more sense than the Taycan. The Macan 4 has bigger battery and a WAY more range than a base Taycan, while costing 10+k less. You can upgrade the Taycan with a bigger battery, but it'll still have less kwh, and still have much less range. Lots of reports about Taycan's losing so much value on the 2nd hand market, well this will only make it worst.

My only complaint is the rear design !!! Looks kinda blunt and to be frank even the front shape looks the same, the old macan looked better.. my opinion..
Whilst I quite like this car I worry about the whole EV only idea. Every Taycan owner I know (8) say they dont want EV next because of hassle around the charging infrastructure just not being there. And yet Porsche are bringing yet another electric only mass produced car to market. And despite really liking this and Taycans that really puts me off getting one.
The charging infrastructure will only get better. Early petrol car owners faced problems too, but eventually it reached a point where you barely had to worry about petrol stations - but in remote areas that point only arrived in the nineties. I have eighties memories of being almost stranded in rural Wales in a petrol car after assuming there'd be more petrol stations. But having to adapt doesn't come easily to everyone, and a lot of the people who can afford EVs are older and as an old fart myself I know that change is harder to handle.
Agree, big expensive EV’s don’t make any sense at all yet. Small ones that you can home charge do but all still too expensive. A long way to go with infrastructure and tech yet.
Will lose value like crazy! You can find taycans 60% discounted with basically 5.000km on the odometer! And good luck giving one back after you spent your money on it. No car dealer is taking them. This is how Porsche shot themselves in the foot. China thanks!
Alright, I’ll be honest here. The thing looks more like an iPhone than a car. Probably has more in common as well. What happened to car designs ? Everything looks like a box nowadays. Kinda props to Toyota with their design on the Supra while keeping it affordable (goes to show that good design doesn’t need to be expensive) and GM with their Hummer EV SUV and Mazda with most of their current lineup. Looks like nowadays users are paying more for a more generic looking car. Just my PERSONAL hot take. You can have other opinions and it’s fine.
Shout out to my fellow uk friends who think 300 miles EVs are unusable. In the US, i get it. In the UK, its one 30 min stop (or 2 15 min atops) from london to Glasgow.
Why does Porsche stick to having a separate stalk for cruise control? It just seems so old fashioned, while they could easily add the controls to the steering wheel.
I gotta admit, the first look I had at the silhouette of the car a few weeks ago, the front looked weird but I'm actually surprised how well it actually looks. But I don't like the back so much. It really does look weird I love the interior tho! really nice And the fact that a Porsche is cheaper than a Mercedes, yet still being better, makes me even more happy Not that I could ever afford one but I still love the brand Porsche with all of my heart and soul
I think the older one had more curb appeal, the bonnet looks like a old beetle shape ! it's flat at the front ! interior look nice but all the new Porsche's have hard seats, nowhere near as comfy as the older ones -like the 2014 cayenne
Should have hit the market 2 years ago but got delayed again and again. The inside and tech is nice, iam glad Porsche stood up against the VAG nonsense here. But I dont like the frontend, Porsche should have just added the front from the ICE Macan. Its missing the expensive clamshell bonnet and those double headlights look aweful, could be mistaken for a Citroen or KIA . The rear could also be more clean.
I’m not sure id compare this to a Tesla Model Y. If anything it makes the Porsche seem worse getting the same 0-60 time as a car 50k cheaper and with autopilot standard. Porsche is just in its own zone. It’s not the best choice cost wise but if someone want a Porsche they’ll pay the premium for features they could get on much cheaper cars. I will say the driving dynamics and looks is only thing that stand out to me.
When u go electric u sell and sacrifice 60,% of what makes your brand special. Electricity engines are mostly the same and not as peculiar as combustion. In a way you sircumsize your brand. Especially in brands like porche and mustang.
Mat, I want to say hello and offer you one option. I would like to see the Dodge Challenger in the next drag race, but with the SRT Hallcat modification, this is the one that has 717 horsepower in 2022 and an engine capacity of 6.2 litres. On the contrary, take something American, like the Tesla Model S, it is just like another car, something from the German kind, like the Porsche Taycan is an electric with an engine for 680 horses of the first generation 2020 - 2024. I really hope you can find such cars, it will be interesting to look at this, and you will definitely sit in the dodge!)
I just long for the days when TURBO actually just referred to the nature of the propulsion, instead of being reduced to a mere marketing ploy. Quite indicative of the times, when 'defensive' means defending imperial aggression, and 'environmentally friendly' has f all to do with protecting the environment or the human species.
It’s ridiculous. I feel like these guys are getting paid to push electric cars in these reviews. Electric cars are trash, anyone I have spoken to who owns a Porsche has said they will not buy an electric Porsche under any circumstance so I’m not sure who Porsche is expecting to buy their new electric cars. If this is the direction they’re heading in they will lose huge chunk of their customer base.
Gotta love the interior of this car, absolutely amazing. I like the front end of the car, however the back not so much. When you look at the back of the car from a certain angle (diagonally) it looks weird, compared to the normal macan.
Well, that's the great thing: you can CHOOSE it! If you want it, then you choose it. But if you always drive alone or as a couple anyway, the Porsche is more of a lifestyle product for you and your wife and you don't have any children who could ever ride along, you don't have to pay for something you would never use anyway. I think this is great! The freedom of choice. Nothing you have to pay for even though you won't use it once.

You people always say this. It’s never even remotely that extreme. You buy into the bullshit that people like Tyler Hoover spout about “luxury cars” losing value, and then they reveal that they bought some 20 year old S class with seats that look like they sat in the ocean and then say say “this is why you should never buy a new luxury car.”
For some reason, those headlights now remind me of the old Kia Sportage. When the Sportage was launched, the lights looked like the front of a Porsche so it's gone full circle for me.
What I don't get, why did they do the split headlights? I get it on the BMW 7 series, their runninglights are so thin, the real headlights have to be somewhere else. But here? It seems like Porsche did split headlights just for the sake of having split headlights. I find this wierd, like the car has four eyes. And if you look at the taycan, size really shouldn't be a reason to do this.
@@skrlaviolette its probably becauso the area in wich the Headlights are in now would be so empty without them. On the old Macan there was an air intake at that place. I didnt like the split headlights at first too, but if you think about it it seems like a good decision
@@skrlaviolette i’d probably bet it has to do with regulations around the hight of the beam. Led lights reach far if they are also set very high on the car they will blind incoming traffic or you will need to point them downwards, hence you lower them to avoid that
The 90% positive comments are mostly sales guys or Influencers for Porsche. Taycan Driver speaking. The car is very nice, but many times in the shop for electronic issues. It's a bother over 3 years.
Seems like a very strange move to me. Macan is Porsches highest selling model, and they make it completely EV when EV sales are slowing down. I also just don’t think a ton of people who like Porsche are big EV fans. I think this is going to hurt the company
@@Saddex still won’t be usable for winter road trips. I’ve had multiple friends think their battery was full. After 2 days being garaged in the cold it’s not. The system says they have 250 miles but it runs out after 125. We need 700 mile range for EVs to be practical beyond commuting cars.
@@arcadialive4265 do they have a heat pump? If not, yes, a 50% range loss is probably going to happen in well below freezing temps. With heat pump, 30-40% is more realistic below freezing. Highway range is of course going to be even less vs WLTP but that applies to ICE vehicles too. For a lot of people it will probably be adequate, though ideally the summer range should probably be in excess of 450 miles to be considered practical across the board in Europe. The distances are relatively short and winters mild. In the EU, one of the planned provisions of the Euro 7 standard, mandatory winter range tests, was unfortunately scrapped. That was stupid because it would provide a lot of certainty instead of having to assume about a third less at freezing which is average loss demonstrated in tests. More without a heat pump and at colder temps.
@@Saddex they are great daily driver cars. Just get questionable for road trips. And yes, I googled the model just to make sure. They do have heat pumps. I have been told the worst they got was 125 mile range, when it said much higher on the gauge. I also guess the car can also drain while turned off during cold weather
@@arcadialive4265 mine loses about 1% every 2 days at -10 C or below. Though yeah, probably I assume it's a combination of things, including temps in that range. Although since the trend is for batteries to get larger capacities with higher energy density, the range loss in winter should get proportionally smaller to some extent, as the energy used to heat the cabin per unit of time won't change and it takes much less energy to keep the cabin warm vs heating it up from cold even when driving a longer distance. Unless though you precondition the cabin while plugged in but then the overall loss should be even smaller proportionally. I generally don't believe in telling people what to do, though another option available to lower consumption is to use heated seats and steering vs the fans that could be considered. Though yeah, for winter roadtripping EVs leave a bit to be desired even if I believe 700 miles WLTP probably is a bit overkill. 500 is probably going to be the sweet spot for the majority of people.
Where I live, about 10 days ago, the temperature dropped to minus 20 degrees Fahrenheit, which killed many EVs as they could not be charged. Would this Macan be able to handle such low temperature?
EV manufacturers are working to solve this issue, however i doubt this Porche will be able to do it effectively unless they've got crazy new battery tech to fix it. Largely the easiest way to fix this is by warming the battery (similar to warming an ICE).
20 degrees does not kill the EV unless you were already at 10-15% residual charge. Key is to keep it topped off in the winter time. 30-40% loss of range is a real winter time issue.
367 mile EV range sounds about right for over a week worth of commuting. But let's be honest those are the inflated range test distances almost nobody in the real world would be able to achieve. I'd give it 325 at best, but still great for charging maybe 4 times a month.
Long line but your right..service may cost you your first born but sacrifices is what it's all about..the best thing is in 5 years time it will be yesterday's technology..great!!!
@@noelzuzic7205 I dont like the Q5 at all. Ultraboring looks. I have driven my Taycan now for 3 years and it's the best car I have ever had. The ones before were M3 E92 and F80 Comp. I love the electric platform. Dont even remember when I went last time to a gasoline station. My first car was a Beetle-70 which I bought in 1977. After that I have had 18 cars so have experience. I will never ever go back to ICE anymore.
Porsche has lost the plot with pricing. You're looking at £80k with a handful of options for the base model, so that's roughly the same as I paid for well optioned GTS. It's not even very fast, five something to 60mph, 130 something top end. Oh dear. The 'turbo' 🤭is £100k before options 🤣. As nice as it looks, an awful lot of people who bought Macans like me, won't be buying these. I bet they depreciate badly as well.

What I don't get, why did they do the split headlights? I get it on the BMW 7 series, their runninglights are so thin, the real headlights have to be somewhere else. But here? It seems like Porsche did split headlights just for the sake of having split headlights. I find this wierd, like the car has four eyes. And if you look at the taycan, size really shouldn't be a reason to do this.
@@skrlaviolette its probably becauso the area in wich the Headlights are in now would be so empty without them. On the old Macan there was an air intake at that place. I didnt like the split headlights at first too, but if you think about it it seems like a good decision
@@skrlaviolette i’d probably bet it has to do with regulations around the hight of the beam. Led lights reach far if they are also set very high on the car they will blind incoming traffic or you will need to point them downwards, hence you lower them to avoid that
The 90% positive comments are mostly sales guys or Influencers for Porsche. Taycan Driver speaking. The car is very nice, but many times in the shop for electronic issues. It's a bother over 3 years.
Should’ve put a permanent spoiler above the rear glass
Exactly! I don't really dig this design compared to the older one.
Agreed, but it would have reduced the range, which is a selling feature
And rear window wiper under spoiler
@@MagicBox-k3d - Kyle has said that the US spec will have a rear wiper as standard.
@@MagicBox-k3d the rear wiper is optional when you order it.
What’s faster the 0-60 or the depreciation?
Or the quality of the RUclips hate comments on this channel. Who knows?
@@Astke That doesn't make sense. The quality of the RUclips hate comments is faster?
Lloyd - I prefer your wit sir 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
The 30-40% as soon as you drive it off the lot - and there's a depreciation hit buying any new car.

From today forward, an old Macan GTS with low mileage will be a wise and enjoyable investment.🤠

Mom i want a porsche macan gts!
Mom: we have a macan at home
The Macan at home:
I don’t see many purists going for Porsche EV.
Seems like a very strange move to me. Macan is Porsches highest selling model, and they make it completely EV when EV sales are slowing down. I also just don’t think a ton of people who like Porsche are big EV fans. I think this is going to hurt the company
It looks like the Genesis GV60 or the MG 4. The old one is much better looking!
Yep. Looks like a steep back for me in terms of overall look.
367 miles in warm weather. Probably 157 in cold.
Heat pump is standard equipment in this, so expect around 30% less or about 257 in winter. The less powerful variant should make around 266 in winter.
@@Saddex still won’t be usable for winter road trips. I’ve had multiple friends think their battery was full. After 2 days being garaged in the cold it’s not. The system says they have 250 miles but it runs out after 125. We need 700 mile range for EVs to be practical beyond commuting cars.
@@arcadialive4265 do they have a heat pump? If not, yes, a 50% range loss is probably going to happen in well below freezing temps. With heat pump, 30-40% is more realistic below freezing. Highway range is of course going to be even less vs WLTP but that applies to ICE vehicles too.
For a lot of people it will probably be adequate, though ideally the summer range should probably be in excess of 450 miles to be considered practical across the board in Europe. The distances are relatively short and winters mild. In the EU, one of the planned provisions of the Euro 7 standard, mandatory winter range tests, was unfortunately scrapped. That was stupid because it would provide a lot of certainty instead of having to assume about a third less at freezing which is average loss demonstrated in tests. More without a heat pump and at colder temps.
@@Saddex they are great daily driver cars. Just get questionable for road trips. And yes, I googled the model just to make sure. They do have heat pumps. I have been told the worst they got was 125 mile range, when it said much higher on the gauge. I also guess the car can also drain while turned off during cold weather
@@arcadialive4265 mine loses about 1% every 2 days at -10 C or below. Though yeah, probably I assume it's a combination of things, including temps in that range.
Although since the trend is for batteries to get larger capacities with higher energy density, the range loss in winter should get proportionally smaller to some extent, as the energy used to heat the cabin per unit of time won't change and it takes much less energy to keep the cabin warm vs heating it up from cold even when driving a longer distance. Unless though you precondition the cabin while plugged in but then the overall loss should be even smaller proportionally. I generally don't believe in telling people what to do, though another option available to lower consumption is to use heated seats and steering vs the fans that could be considered.
Though yeah, for winter roadtripping EVs leave a bit to be desired even if I believe 700 miles WLTP probably is a bit overkill. 500 is probably going to be the sweet spot for the majority of people.
Where I live, about 10 days ago, the temperature dropped to minus 20 degrees Fahrenheit, which killed many EVs as they could not be charged. Would this Macan be able to handle such low temperature?
EV manufacturers are working to solve this issue, however i doubt this Porche will be able to do it effectively unless they've got crazy new battery tech to fix it. Largely the easiest way to fix this is by warming the battery (similar to warming an ICE).
20 degrees does not kill the EV unless you were already at 10-15% residual charge. Key is to keep it topped off in the winter time. 30-40% loss of range is a real winter time issue.
@@tor-Norge Minus 20 degrees. Reread my comment.
@lancecahill5486 His point is still valid tho. The bigger problem are the people, who haven't got the slightest idea about how their vehicle works.
I suggest you move somewhere warmer … that sounds awful!
367 mile EV range sounds about right for over a week worth of commuting. But let's be honest those are the inflated range test distances almost nobody in the real world would be able to achieve. I'd give it
325 at best, but still great for charging maybe 4 times a month.
@ev.whyking yes sir, I'm a professional drone operator and always need to go distant locations for commercial work.
I hate the trend of placing the lights below the daytime-running lights.
Macan. MA.CAN there's no R in the name! Watson you utter flute 😂
TURBO is for very fast electrons from the battery XD
and the value from the depreciation
@@djtaylorutube 😁
Looks very smart 👌 maybe I'll pick one up in a few years once it's depreciated like a rock 🪨
Long line but your right..service may cost you your first born but sacrifices is what it's all about..the best thing is in 5 years time it will be yesterday's technology..great!!!
No you won't.
@RG-ld8wv probably will go for a taycan actually
As my model x does the job of being practical.
Good one more reason to buy Q5
Q5?? What?? 😂😂
@@peterhammer4644 same platform... but still has a normal engine not this electeric crap
oh yea, e-tron owners are very happy customers of teslas now xD
@@noelzuzic7205 I dont like the Q5 at all. Ultraboring looks. I have driven my Taycan now for 3 years and it's the best car I have ever had. The ones before were M3 E92 and F80 Comp. I love the electric platform. Dont even remember when I went last time to a gasoline station. My first car was a Beetle-70 which I bought in 1977. After that I have had 18 cars so have experience.
I will never ever go back to ICE anymore.
U serious.. this looks way better inside and out. As an audi fan nothing competes with porsche they are a tier above
Porsche has lost the plot with pricing. You're looking at £80k with a handful of options for the base model, so that's roughly the same as I paid for well optioned GTS. It's not even very fast, five something to 60mph, 130 something top end. Oh dear. The 'turbo' 🤭is £100k before options 🤣. As nice as it looks, an awful lot of people who bought Macans like me, won't be buying these. I bet they depreciate badly as well.
I like the range, hope it holds up to the claims.
Also, applaud Matt for making this vid as if in person review. Great job
that thing is hideous
