367 mile range? In USA, Porsche official EPA range for the 4S and 4 Turbo is 288 miles. Highway range test on UA-cam confirm 100% SOC down to 0% SOC resulted in exactly 288 miles after steady highway driving at 70mph. What real world driving are you getting in the UK?
Looks great, I like it a lot. I don't understand the comments on price. Porsche's have always been expensive, that can't be a shock to anyone by now surely. 😁
Quite so, but entry level petrol Macan is £56k vs £68.5k for entry level electric, i.e. 20% more. I doubt it comes with much more kit as Porsche are mean with goodies...
Buy one a couple of years old for half the price but know it will continue to depreciate at a shockingly high rate. The sane want nothing to do with battery cars
Thank you for the comprehensive test. Before posting negative comments, people should try this car if they can afford it). I did, and it is great. I’ve got an ice Macan and a Macan EV for a full day. The EV is a huge improvement from every aspect. It is more expensive, but it is on another league. I ended up ordering a Macan 4 well specked that should arrive next week.
Thank you soooo much for telling us how tall you are when showing us rear seat space. Amazing how many reviewers fail to supply this vital information! Very good review, imo.
My EV6 maintained 62% of its original value on trade in after three years. The doom merchants tell you "ALL EVs tank in value".... not if you buy the right one 😊
I’d certainly put the non-turbo on my list; save £30k, for just a second or two, and unnecessarily bigger wheels. Go for best mix of range and performance, and at 2 y/old you’d probably get it for £35-40k. One to watch, for sure, the Macan!
@@dodgywheelsandropeywiring5697 It's not the weight, since EV's regen effectiveness is like 80%. It's the electrical/mechanical/windage losses from the extra drive unit.
@@dodgywheelsandropeywiring5697 If you recapture 80% of kinetic energy on a EV, weight only matters 20% as much as with an ICE. The losses I mention dominate, hence why some EVs use induction motors or clutch disconnects on the secondary axle.
8:44 OMG…are we really doing the “Turbo joke” again…in 2024?! 😂 How many times do we have to hear, “It's not actually a turbo engine, guys”? Newsflash: anyone who's even remotely interested already knows.
Trouble is … battery chemistry most likely will be different in a few years. So much money is being spent on research in that area. Then resale value will plummet .
So no washer jet for the rear camera lense like my Mini has as standard, pay loads extra to have a rear wiper (like my Mini has as standard) so you can see out of the back window on our perpetually wet roads and you make out that the clever passenger side monitor screen that cannot be seen by the driver when moving is something new and hi-tech but my 2010 Evoque and 2012 Range Rover L322 both had that tech and they were tech averse JLR cars!
Coming out of a Jaguar iPace that could explode at any minute (recall H514) - I looked at this and the BMW iX. BMW has the cooler interior - better tech - but Porsche definitely has the handling and the looks. But lease deals? BMW crushes Porsche - not even close. You either buy a Macan and deal with the depreciation or get hosed with an awful lease deal. Drove off with a 2025 BMW iX last weekend - and couldn’t be happier…
Second hand bargains when they're dirt cheap in 2 or 3 years time if the Taycan is anything to go by. I have an EV (and love it) before the pile on starts, just observing that the Porsche EV's seem to be to most aggressively depreciating cars around at the moment, handy if you want to bag a bargain and not a frightened OPEC addict :)
I think it’s 95% brilliant with one massive flaw.. no one-pedal drive mode! 😮 Cars spend a lot of time in cities, Porsche forcing drivers to drive an EV like it’s an Automatic ICE car is a massive usability failure. Hopefully Porsche quickly walk back this ridiculous choice with an over-the-air update
They won’t. There is not one Volkswagen/Audi/Porsche product that has one pedal driving. OPD is one of the best features of electric cars. Deal breaker.
0-60 is not the only measure of a car, and how can you ever race in a straight line with someone else on speed restricted roads?? Who is going to go superfast every time from one stop light to another with the back full of groceries or toddlers in child-seat, and speed limits everywhere? Driving dynamics, ride and handling, the feel and precision of the steering wheel, nimbleness in corners, NVH control (noise and vibration levels), interior and exterior quality are all pieces that make up a good car. Porsche is simply in a different league in terms of chassis, body, structural rigidity, quality of the components and service and image.
Rarely would I switch off a new What Car video review, especially for such an important new vehicle, but sadly did on this occasion. I struggled with this presenters wooden, script reading style, almost sleep inducing. WC has some great video presenters, perhaps this person may be better suited behind the camera or in print.
The usual hopelessly optimistic range projections. Try taking it on the trip I just did, nearly 4,000 kilometres in a week from southern Spain to Italy and back. Nearly all motorway driving much of it through mountainous terrain that in winter would have also been very cold . I doubt you would have got anywhere near the claimed range and you would have had enormous fun looking for working chargers. Battery cars are a niche product, the claim they are a viable replacement for internal combustion is nothing less than a lie
They could have named the car something cool, but no. Macan Electric... I mean, Macan itself is cool car and name, but for its EV sibling, I think that Porsche should choose something better.
It’s because the petrol Macan is still available in the U.K. until end of 2025 I hear. So there is a need to differentiate. In EU you can only buy the electric version. So it is called just Macan.
I can buy all Macan models but I am only interesting driving experience not speed etc. Handling is very important, not how it looks. Praise the car is for not for important at all for me. It's only marketing like you do and you know it. Put yourself 100 grand a car and think to your self then. Think about it. It's big money for the most of the people.
Just my opinion, but... If they can't rid themselves off of so many Taycans, why this? Plus, too many straight and square lines for my taste. Especially the front bottom pierced my eyes. Winter battery range, EV... lol. Not the time yet, unless you want a toy I guess.
How much will it be worth in one year, still looks like bankruptcy to me. Their last EV is now worthless, no bugger wants one second hand no matter how good they are.
lookup statistics on autotrader, if your bothered to comment on it get some facts first. 3 yr depreciation on average mileage within 1-2 % of comparable 70 to 90k ice luxury car
I guarantee that Porsche do not use the latest battery technology for CATL or BYD. So you will be paying through the nose for old tech and a badge! Which is exactly why the Taycan has devaled 70% in three to four years.... It is out of date, at its release date.
Whenever I would see a Porsche on an image or in person previously, I would think that I've come across something special! This car doesn't evoke that at all. Looks to much like that Tesla crap. And review is equally bland and boring.
Why would anyone want bigger wheels that ruin ride, ruin economy, easy to curb, easy to warp, terrible on potholes, tyres last much less and are prone to damage. Madness
It was a porsche ev set fire to a ship carrying cars off the coast of Holland on fire for five days 650 million in damages evs are dangerous don't risk you family in one
I kinda think you left tesla out of this review, and for very good reason, it just destroys the porsche on every level 😂😂 VW group is done, too little too late RIP
Problem is it's very very very ugly it's brick block and on top of that a battery car is proven to be pretty worthless very quickly - total fail you also fail to point out all the bad of the car and there is a lot of

is the colour of your turbo copper ruby metallic?
Buy one in 2 year, it'll lose at least 50%.
Exactly 👍
My plan. I normally buy new, but if I’m considering this car i’ll buy used!
Like every other brand new car. You are such a specialist….
Imagine a car that doesn’t lose any depreciation 🙄.

I expect the AWD models to shave more range actually
As with all 4x4's to be fair, extra drivetrain weight is not our friend in range.
@@dodgywheelsandropeywiring5697 It's not the weight, since EV's regen effectiveness is like 80%. It's the electrical/mechanical/windage losses from the extra drive unit.

I think it's very nice product in and out. The entry price is what I would expect. Nice review !
Good vid. Performance wise, my Ioniq 5 N gives the Turbo a run for the money 😊
8:44 OMG…are we really doing the “Turbo joke” again…in 2024?! 😂 How many times do we have to hear, “It's not actually a turbo engine, guys”? Newsflash: anyone who's even remotely interested already knows.

Electric Macan. Nice.
Trouble is … battery chemistry most likely will be different in a few years. So much money is being spent on research in that area.
Then resale value will plummet .
My favourite car nowadays!
Classy design!
397 miles? Forget it I get 397km!

Great buy 3 year used
Not really. The battery charge will have depleted, so range etc will be affected and will only get worse
It has less HP than Hyundai N5, shorter warranty than the N5, costs a lot more and offers just a badge. So how have Porsche moved the game forward?
understand that this is a premium market car. Does not compete with a Hyundai.
0-60 is not the only measure of a car, and how can you ever race in a straight line with someone else on speed restricted roads??

It drives better, looks better and has a way more desirable badge
That´s easy - if you are going to a Hyundai dealer you are not cross shopping with a Porsche
@@Parental92 market has changed a lot in the last 5 years, Taycan resale values compared to say I4 or N5 will defo affect Macan EV.

New presenter? Where is Douglas?
Only daily that's better is the ICE GTS Macan.
83% and only 223 miles.not good enough for the latest major ev release. Also It's prob £100000 with all the extras here
If you're not sure about the electric
Have a look at my old school
Cayenne Gemballa gt750
I really hope that nut brown colour is called Pecan 😂
I agree, seen one of these just the other day in the metal, and looks much better than in any pics or vids I have seen.
Watched at 1.5x 👍
The acceleration is fast, but not as fast as the depreciation will be.
You crack me up kkk
The rear looks like xpeng G6

Very high spec Chinese cars half price coming soon. Can’t wait. This car will depreciate like crazy.
So it's slower (0 to 60mph) than your average Chinese runabout these days!
Shame it looks like a Tesla!
