  • Once upon a time, the idea of Porsche building an SUV seemed crazy…let alone an electric vehicle. But both have worked out pretty well for the brand. Now it’s time to put the two together. This is the 2024 Porsche Macan Electric and Jessica Ray recently headed to the south of France to get behind the wheel for a first drive! #Porsche #Macan #PorscheMacan

    Attractive looking car. The rear reminds me of those old fastback 40s cars.

    Looks like the Ford Mustang Mach-E, Maserati Grecale Folgore, Audi Q4 e-tron, Cadillac Optiq, BMW iX3/iX4 Neue Klasse, Genesis GV70 EV, Mercedes EQC SUV (GLC EV), Tesla Model Y, Lexus RZ, and Polestar P4 may have to watch out for what Porsche's new Macan EV will have for them.

      EV needs to be charged. So it’s turbocharged. Turbo is just short for turbocharged.

      Porsche has turned "Turbo" into a trim level. They just decided they could do that because they are Porsche I suppose.

    Why call it a turbo if there is in fact no turbo? This is very dumb marketing and seems lazy that they can’t find another trim name.

    • @jeffs6090
      @jeffs6090 11 днів тому

      You realize "Turbo" is a trim level, right? It's a higher power trim level. Most other Porsches have a turbocharged engine, like Macan T and Macan S, but they don't have the Turbo name to it. Why does no one complain about that? It's the same thing but in reverse. This argument is ridiculous and pointless. Everyone just yells about it because everyone else does, basically dumb mob mentality.

      @76carmel 12 днів тому +2

      When the Macan came into market, Porsche did not have a compact SUV. The Cayenne is the only one at the time.
      The only electric Porsche is the Taycan until now with the Macan Electric. It’s for those who prefer practicality.
      However for most of us, Porsche vehicles are out of our price range and then some.
