@@BobBaumeister-g8v It depends on where the driving is being done. Motorway or long flat roads, or on a race track, regeneration braking isn't as efficient as coasting. However if driving on very hilly roads, regeneration is more efficient, as gravity is used to add charge to the battery.
"the Hyundai looks like something an anime villain would drive" That is absolutely true. Unfortunately, the Macan Is exactly the kind of car most real-life villains actually drive.
I went to a porsche track event with 30 other people. We all drove the 911t, cayman gts 4.0, cayenne S, macan gts, rwd taycan, and macan ev 4. Honestly the macan EV is seriously impressive, it’s not just another EV. Everybody that drove it was wow’d. New cayenne S v8 > macan ev 4 > macan gts. The macan EV interior was amazing.
Not sure, but it’s unlikely to be better on the track than the 5n. Biggest problem with EV’s on the track is cooling, and the 5n seems to have figured that out. I believe it’s the only EV that can race for like a 15 minute session without any heat issues as it was designed to handle 2 laps on the ring. 5n is pretty more like a boy racer hot hatch, macan EV is more like a luxury suv that you could track if you wanted to and is really fun to drive. I also drove the ev 4, the turbo might stand a better chance against the 5n.

I think it looks great, has a good range, fast charging, amazing driving dynamics, solid build quality and a very sexy badge. Would love to have a Macan EV
Just come across this channel and hats off to Jack. A very entertaining, intelligent presenter that is perfect for the world of media. Wishing him every success.
1% ers can afford it so that's only 99% of people who can't. I think you underestimate just how many people there now are who are quite well off (because the world has been giving most of the money to a relatively small fraction of the people for way too long, but there are millions of them worldwide now, not a few thousands).
@@Lewis_Standing soo ...how many people do you think can afford to buy USED £108,000 cars then....!?!?!? ....As opposed to, say, used £40,000 cars ......?
😂triggers me too. But unless it’s a hardcore enthusiast owner, or of a certain age, no one knows what it means! The owners that get it as an accessory to their LV bags won’t care. 😅
As a Porsche enthusiast, I think this Macan is nice. However, if you were to toss me the keys to a vehicle for a couple of laps or a twisty back road, I'm taking the Ioniq 5N, all day, every day
It was only a little over a year after its planned launch that Macan only had a Chinese battery and got a huge price to buy the badge out of our pockets. The battery is a Chinese copy of an old Korean LG battery model The Hyundai Ioniq 5n, on the other hand, has the most expensive and high-performance battery in the market where the latest technology is concentrated. Still, the price is incredibly affordable. Over time, the difference in battery durability will be more obvious Not to mention the difference in performance already The Macan is not a deserving car to wear a Porsche badge. It's just a symbol of the evidence that Germany is wandering in the electric vehicle market
not having one-pedal driving disqualifies all electric Porsches for me. And all hybrid Volkswagens have it (called the B-mode). Engineers deciding how I want to drive the car with no option to change it is just stupid.
If you're tossing me the keys to do 2 hot laps on Laguna Seca or the Nurburgring, I'm taking the Hyundai Ioniq 5N over this Porsche..as crazy as that sounds. Excellent video
Love this review and Jack is so engaging. Car looks lovely. I do feel that I am completely over leather interiors. There are so many other materials out there that are good or better, but I’d happily put up with that given the chance to own one. Well done Porsche, and Jack!
The enunciations' in a British Germany tone & the child fire hydrants of vomit!!🤣😂Your superaltives were on a different level today Jack. I am firmly sold on this Mecan way before your excellently entertaining review. Keep 'em coming Jack
A Jaguar I Pace with air suspension is no slouch either. I know it's a little dated as far as charging speeds etc but it also has freakily brilliant handling along with a quality plushness.
Jaguar? Are you sure? Sorry but not even close to Porsche, BMW high end versions that I have been in. Had a Jag as a loaner not to long ago, totally, 💯 let down, no better than a posh Toyota.
@@Pilch9 Yes ... pretty sure. I was highlighting the air suspension in particular as being fantastic. Which Toyota model are you comparing it too ..... ?
After a testdrive in an IONIC 5N i bought the testcar for my wife s daily. 12K km on it already. It converted me to electric drive, and i ve looked at the macan turbo for myself. But, some things annoy me. I don t like the regen filosophy of Porsche. I come to like the ipedal function from the 5N in day to day traffic a lot. And by the time im thrue configuring the Macan it s 150k €. (Starts at 120k here). And honestly for your dash comments, i really don t look at the dash much at all in the 5N. headup display ftw. And for daily Normal mode gets you through traffic very nicely, and Nshift on hooligan rides😊
For me it's maybe this but more likely the Audi Q6 in about 4 years! Although I do want air suspension and zero regen mode. Enjoyable review thanks team :)
Great review Jack. But did I hear you right? No one peddle driving?! This would have been worth some more discussion I think. To me I couldn’t contemplate getting an EV that didn’t start slowing as I took my foot off the pedal. This is one of the greatest things about driving EVs. Porsche should at least have made it a setting you could change.
Ioniq is reachable and affordable by many people... Porche is... something not many regular people can afford. You get so much value per performance for the money.
I have 2 Porsches and an Ioniq 5 N. I think I5N looks a lot better and find interface more organic than Macan, but the interior is definitely nicer in the Porsche. Surprised how tight the cabin felt compared to I5N... the new Macan doesn't really interest me and happy to pick the I5N over it, although most Porsche owners will never buy the I5N because it's a Hyundai and are badge snob
12:45 Huge miss by Porsche not giving us Pepita (which is Porsche's high-durability mesh nylon "houndstooth" seats that are available in the Taycan and 911 S/T and other race inspired models). The Macan is supposed to be forward thinking - and while some people still mistakenly associate leather and quality, at least make it an option for those of us who have moved on.
I heard from many taycan orders that whilst brilliant on paper it is not the best car to live with, especially when it came to range. All the people that rushed to get one brand new sold it for a huge loss, and even two people that thought they got a deal buying a used one sold it after a few months for a loss too….i personally like it, but don’t have one so I cannot judge usability. This Macan seems again great on paper, hope it delivers just as well.
I guess they'll survive but a lot smaller, losing market share in the Chinese market is killing them as the Chinese are now buying excellent home grown Chinese made EVs. All legacy makers are going to suffer as the Chinese buy more local vehicles
From the side it reminds me of an Austin Allegro…A car famous for being more aerodynamic while in reverse. It would only turn your head if it ran you over.
15:50 does it do enough to justify the cash… like asking if a LV hand bag if it does. No way! The cash is half for the product and half for the brand. Personally I would say yes, great car and great brand for my tastes.
@@Simcat-8222indeed BUT you have to compare them to the ICE Macans ( which are still being made ). Comparatively they are stupidly expensive. I picked up a new Macan GTS yesterday, with £23k of options, and it was still cheaper than a moderately specced Macan 4S, and about £20k cheaper than an equivalently specced Macan Turbo
There is no market for used sportscars like the Taycan, but huge market for used SUVs with a Porsche badge...deprecation will be much lower for the Macan.
All luxury sedans depreciate like crazy (much quicker than sports cars). Have a look at second-hand Mercedes S-Class, BMW 7 series or Audi R8s. The problem is that they potentially cost a fortune if they break, but don't have the emotional appeal of a second-hand 911 or Ferrari. I suspect Taycans will end up being a better prospect for buyers on the second-hand market than the petrol luxury sedans, because the powertrains are likely to be a little less diabolically unreliable.
I really like the new Macan, the design looks great - I've had 2 ICE Macan's loved them both. Not sure if it'll match the Taycan's success for 3 reasons: 1: The EV market isn't what it was when the Taycan was released, it reset the benchmark but everyone has caught up. It also had a bucket load of issues. 2: The Taycan depreciation crashed like a falling star; why spend over 100K on a new when you can get 2nd hand 1st gen for half the price. 3: This new Macan doesn't have anywhere near the same road presence that the Taycan has, if the Taycan also came as ICE option, most wouldn't look twice at a Panamera.
Tempting to compare, but not really the same kind of propositions. I notice the 5N rear seat is a lot roomier, that counts as the rear seat is also slideable so I can vary the cargo space to need. The Porsche is great for luxury and great WYSIWYG driving, but it's abit more a SUV, I'd rather have the Taycan if has to be Porsche. I love the dual nature of the 5N, roomy very practical on one side, 200kg lighter button infested driver's car on the other hand, where I love to be able to make my own single push quick settings just like tuning a car or not entirely unlike dialling in a GT3 RS. For near half the money. Don't care for more comfort as it's way more comfy then any previous drivers car, love driving it like an ICE car when without sensitive 'cargo'....
First off, PROPS for getting both names right. Pors-sha (not 'porsch') and Hyun-DAY (two syllables is correct, not Hy-un-dai as many Brits seems to pronounce incorrectly). I personally find the Ioniq 5N more interesting than the Macan EV and I'm a huge Porsche fan too...
TL;DW: The new electric Porsche Macan builds on the success of its predecessors and is a strong contender in the luxury EV market, offering impressive performance, a range of 300 miles, and a refined interior. While it costs more than the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N, it’s praised for its handling, comfort, and luxury features. However, some might prefer the Ioniq for its fun driving experience and more compact feel. Ultimately, the Macan is a high-quality, versatile EV that blends performance with luxury.
I'm torn between two possibilities: either comparing a Porsche to a Hyundai shows just how far Hyundai has come, or it highlights how EVs lower the barrier to entry by removing the mechanical complexities of engines and transmissions. I guess both can be true lol
N Division for the win .... besides ... I dreamed of a Porsche for 15 years and 15 minutes inside their dealership put me off for life .... fck that brand ....
Complicated = A situation that you do not want to exist but which is there and you cannot change. But acceptance is difficult a.k.a. complicated. Yep that's the new definition.
If you want quick and some bells & whistles included, you buy the Hyundai. But if you want the badge and a badge that others lust after, you but the Porsche. If you’re an EVs geek, you’ll be interested in the Hyundai. Even if you don’t want one. If you’re a car geek, and have the money, you’ll buy the Porsche. Even if it’s an Audi with a badge to brag about.
A great review from Jack as always (and a world away from the “it’s a car” Fully Charged reviews of old…) but critically a 2.4 tonne, £100K, electron guzzling, tyre chewing Porsche is not really going to save the planet any more than the petrol version would 🤔
Imagine how fun porsche could make an actualm sports car shaped sports car... Also didnt Jack fit more comfortably in the back of the Inster??? If so that is DAMNING for this SUV platform, at least i think it should be
The same B-roll shot reused...again and again!! Great review as always, but the editing is letting Jack and the team down. Especially when its so obviously NOT Jack driving it 😂 small details but ive noticed it in a lot of your videos lately!
if the car can charge with 300 kW (407 hp), it can recharge-brake with the same 407 hp. Only when you need more stopping power than that, it will use the disks. Or when the speed is too low for regeneration (below 15 km/h). On my PHEV, the brake pads are still 1 cm thick after 100.000 km.
Coating the interior in cow leather reduces waste. As long as we eat animals we should make every effort to honour them by making use of every possible part of the body.

One Pedal driving is not efficient. And for Race/track not really to use. So why you want this in a Porsche?
@@nickyoung4799
One pedal driving doesn't damage the brakes. All Kia and Hyundai vehicles automatically apply the brakes periodically to keep brake rotors clear of corrosion.

It depends on where the driving is being done. Motorway or long flat roads, or on a race track, regeneration braking isn't as efficient as coasting. However if driving on very hilly roads, regeneration is more efficient, as gravity is used to add charge to the battery.
Porsche just do it in a different way.

Not sure, but it’s unlikely to be better on the track than the 5n. Biggest problem with EV’s on the track is cooling, and the 5n seems to have figured that out. I believe it’s the only EV that can race for like a 15 minute session without any heat issues as it was designed to handle 2 laps on the ring.
5n is pretty more like a boy racer hot hatch, macan EV is more like a luxury suv that you could track if you wanted to and is really fun to drive.
I also drove the ev 4, the turbo might stand a better chance against the 5n.

All luxury sedans depreciate like crazy (much quicker than sports cars). Have a look at second-hand Mercedes S-Class, BMW 7 series or Audi R8s. The problem is that they potentially cost a fortune if they break, but don't have the emotional appeal of a second-hand 911 or Ferrari.
I suspect Taycans will end up being a better prospect for buyers on the second-hand market than the petrol luxury sedans, because the powertrains are likely to be a little less diabolically unreliable.
I really like the new Macan, the design looks great - I've had 2 ICE Macan's loved them both. Not sure if it'll match the Taycan's success for 3 reasons:
1: The EV market isn't what it was when the Taycan was released, it reset the benchmark but everyone has caught up. It also had a bucket load of issues.
2: The Taycan depreciation crashed like a falling star; why spend over 100K on a new when you can get 2nd hand 1st gen for half the price.
3: This new Macan doesn't have anywhere near the same road presence that the Taycan has, if the Taycan also came as ICE option, most wouldn't look twice at a Panamera.
[12:10] Jack praises the quality of the Macan interior over the Ioniq 5N. But it costs an extra £37,000 to have it.
Love the looks can't do electric tho 😮
Never thought Korean car manufacturers excite more than any Germans.
Korean duo make better car than
German for the money!!
Tempting to compare, but not really the same kind of propositions. I notice the 5N rear seat is a lot roomier, that counts as the rear seat is also slideable so I can vary the cargo space to need. The Porsche is great for luxury and great WYSIWYG driving, but it's abit more a SUV, I'd rather have the Taycan if has to be Porsche.
I love the dual nature of the 5N, roomy very practical on one side, 200kg lighter button infested driver's car on the other hand, where I love to be able to make my own single push quick settings just like tuning a car or not entirely unlike dialling in a GT3 RS. For near half the money. Don't care for more comfort as it's way more comfy then any previous drivers car, love driving it like an ICE car when without sensitive 'cargo'....
First off, PROPS for getting both names right. Pors-sha (not 'porsch') and Hyun-DAY (two syllables is correct, not Hy-un-dai as many Brits seems to pronounce incorrectly). I personally find the Ioniq 5N more interesting than the Macan EV and I'm a huge Porsche fan too...
Porsche , what a heritage .
Same comment for Toyota. Your point?
The best reviewer 👍
I don't see the problem honestly. It's a good looking quality car. The EV part doesn't bother me.
TL;DW: The new electric Porsche Macan builds on the success of its predecessors and is a strong contender in the luxury EV market, offering impressive performance, a range of 300 miles, and a refined interior. While it costs more than the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N, it’s praised for its handling, comfort, and luxury features. However, some might prefer the Ioniq for its fun driving experience and more compact feel. Ultimately, the Macan is a high-quality, versatile EV that blends performance with luxury.
I think I would heve to see that Porsche in person because on screen it looks like the love child of a mk1 Nissan Juke and a 1975 Vauxhall Chevette
I'm torn between two possibilities: either comparing a Porsche to a Hyundai shows just how far Hyundai has come, or it highlights how EVs lower the barrier to entry by removing the mechanical complexities of engines and transmissions. I guess both can be true lol
Hyundai WRC efforts would suggest they know a thing or two about ICE technology
Jack’s gigantic stature makes the Macan look like a low-riding city car! 🤣
Not going to buy this - new or used. But now those wanting to buy a Porsche SUV can choose an EV. Some sort of a win there, maybe 🤔⚡
No one pedal. Porsche, have a chat with your software team. . .
watch the video.
Is the matching hat a Porsche extra?
for a thousand pound extra!
N Division for the win .... besides ... I dreamed of a Porsche for 15 years and 15 minutes inside their dealership put me off for life .... fck that brand ....
Complicated = A situation that you do not want to exist but which is there and you cannot change. But acceptance is difficult a.k.a. complicated.
Yep that's the new definition.
vegan interior and it would be perfect, the design of the rear is so good
Oh yes, vegans saving the planet one 2 ton 100 grand SUV at a time.
the leather is from a sustainable source.
@@TerryHickey-xt4mf yeah right
@@TerryHickey-xt4mfwe will never run out of leather. Not while people eat beef and use gelatin
“No one pedal driving” kills it for me. Why ignore one of the best features of EVs?
If you want quick and some bells & whistles included, you buy the Hyundai. But if you want the badge and a badge that others lust after, you but the Porsche. If you’re an EVs geek, you’ll be interested in the Hyundai. Even if you don’t want one. If you’re a car geek, and have the money, you’ll buy the Porsche. Even if it’s an Audi with a badge to brag about.
How baggy do you want your jeans sir?
Jack: "Yes"
The 90s fashion came back...
well in the 70's, it took me an hour to get the bloody things on and off!
Jack is an outstanding presenter.
A great review from Jack as always (and a world away from the “it’s a car” Fully Charged reviews of old…) but critically a 2.4 tonne, £100K, electron guzzling, tyre chewing Porsche is not really going to save the planet any more than the petrol version would 🤔
Go on the configurator and spend a day mucking about with the options. They have a lot! Ka Ching, Ka Ching...
Imagine how fun porsche could make an actualm sports car shaped sports car... Also didnt Jack fit more comfortably in the back of the Inster??? If so that is DAMNING for this SUV platform, at least i think it should be
Why does it have an emblem that says turbo on the back? I don´t understand.
The same B-roll shot reused...again and again!! Great review as always, but the editing is letting Jack and the team down. Especially when its so obviously NOT Jack driving it 😂 small details but ive noticed it in a lot of your videos lately!
start your own channel.
Great review, but yet another car to add to the won the lottery shortlist!
Thank you.
Nice, and looks WAaay more grown up inside & out, but it's not just....extra cash when comparing - it's ALLOT more cash than the 5N!
They could do a "Ionic 5N" to this car as they can record the ICE version sounds for it
No one pedal driving, they want you to use the brakes as much as possible, then charge you £500 for new pads and rotors.
Ooh!....that sounds dangerously close to a conspiracy theory....!!!
if the car can charge with 300 kW (407 hp), it can recharge-brake with the same 407 hp. Only when you need more stopping power than that, it will use the disks. Or when the speed is too low for regeneration (below 15 km/h). On my PHEV, the brake pads are still 1 cm thick after 100.000 km.
Shows how much you know then. Using the brake pedal in a Porsche EV means 95% of the time you're not using the brake discs either.
@@mofomat If your pushing the brake pedal, then your pads are contacting the discs, seems like you know very little.
just watch the bloody video, the brake pedal activates the regen.
Coating the interior in cow leather reduces waste. As long as we eat animals we should make every effort to honour them by making use of every possible part of the body.
