I'm glad more EVs are starting to look like well designed cars instead of weird futuristic concepts
The only thing Tesla does right. Cybertruck excepted.
Kuf bmw kuf
Kudos to Porsche for putting physical buttons in the interior. They are obviously so much better while you drive instead of that tablet nonsense
I think most people are unhappy with the new Macan EV rear end because the current car is so good. The front is ok.
The current car is ugly. Looks too much like a Cayenne.
So as someone from Germany 👋 I have some things to say 😂
First of all there won't be a new macan ICE the electric version is just the new one. They still produce and sell the old one but there won't be a new version.
Second you shouldn't compare the macan to the sq8 because the macan is on the same platform as the new Audi Q6 etron which will come out in march.
Then you can compare these two cars.
It's like in the past Q5 and Macan ICE are on the same platform but now it's the Q6 and the Macan electric
Edit: the Macan won't be sold from the 1. Juli on in the EU due to a new law about cybersecurity in cars.
Isn't Macan the same size as Audi Q4?
@@scytheofvyse1264no the upcoming Q6
@@scytheofvyse1264
- [ ] Macan EV: 4,78m
- [ ] Macan ICE: 4,72m
- [ ] Q4 etron: 4,59m
- [ ] Q6 etron: 4,69m
- [ ] Q8 etron: 4,92m
So the Q4 is way smaller and the Q8 ist noticeably bigger
I would compare the SQ5 to the Macan
@@SCraig-Handsome yes for the ice version that would make sense but for the electric version you have to take the sq6
The word turbo doesn't necessarily have to refer to ICE vehicles. The word could also refer to simply speed and performance.
That might be true if turbo was derived from a turbo which is a mechanical device used in ICE vehicles.
Turbo should mean turbo
If they put supercharged you would cringe at it
Originally Porsche (and other car manufacturers) used “Turbo” to highlight the turbocharged engine as a premium feature. I don’t think they should have started using it for non-turbo cars. They should have come up with a new term. Alas, this is an old debate at this point and we just have to accept that they now use it to designate top performance trims.
its also branding…for Porsche it just means its the top of the line
I like the design but the rear just doesn’t do it for me
The rear to me is a product of lighting. This is where most car companies fail miserably. Its their opportunity to distinguish their brand even more than the front of the car.
For example, you can tell a Cadillac from a mile away, day or night. No name or logo needed. I don't know of any other car on the road today capable of identifying itself like that.
There won’t be any internal combustion engine Macan anymore. Though I understand your wish for…
Porsche said there would be.
They said they would sell the current one side by side. But they will not introduce a brand new ice macan
Thanks for clarifying I was confused when he mentioned there would be a Macan petrol facelift
@@Ghostldnx Porsche already announced the ICE facelift
@@xx133 but not for Europe I believe, or?
I do think the Taycan looks better than the Panamera, but the ICE macan imo looks better than the EV macan, not that the EV macan is ugly, it's very beautiful.
Yeach not sure about this one, have to see it IRL.
I think the exact opposite. I love the panamera
I think you can give Audi the same heritage bonus regarding the light bar. It's part of a few of the most iconic Audis of all time with the 90s RS2 and Cabriolet.
If the car is as good as the configurator Porsche are on to a winner with this new Macan.....and I agree with your choice of colour too..👍
The Porsche design is without a doubt the more sporty, but that sleek coupefied look comes at the cost of lowering its functions as an SUV. At t his point, I'd call it a fastback not an SUV, since the "U" in utility is virtually non-existent.
Anyway, the best reason to choose the Audi is that you get 9/10 the Porsche performance for a lot less -- yet maintains all of its SUV advantages e.g. headroom/passenger/cargo space, etc. Yet still get a relatively sporty and modern design
Sure the Porsche leads with all out performance, but their interiors are entry level economy unless heavily optioned from a long list which include basic things -- such as decent heated and ventilated seats -- which you get as standard on the Audi. Almost every item of luxury in Porsches are options, raising the price precipitously.
Speaking of designs, who decided dedicated EVs should even look like traditional ICE vehicles in the first place? Operationally they need very little (if any) front-ends at all.
On the positive side, I applaud both Audi and Porsche for no trending that eye sore of a rise to the lower longitudinal line of the rear door window. Additionally, a huge credit for maintaining the traditional panoramic sunroof which you can still open.
- There wouldn't be another ICE Macan.
- If EVs sound like what I just heard, I wouldn't mind them... Much
Porsche is the only good brand making EVs sound how they should and still feel like a good drivers car and not robotic
I have an E Tron and it sounds similar to the Taycan/Macan. The sound is actually really nice - futuristic and not trying to be something it’s not (I.e. not a fake exhaust note like the Ioniq 5n). The Macan Turbo (like the Taycan GTS and Turbo) should have a unique, louder/deeper sound which should be a positive element.
Are you familiar with term -- resting on your laurels? Here's the thing: Porsche, built its reputation from years and years of design and balance and matching of engines and transmission. Now once they move to EVs, all that uniqueness and precise balance and component unity goes away. The power of an electric motor is just a matter of increasing the flow of electrons.
@@G82Watts Software. Something anybody can program.
hmm, I personally like the old macan look
that audi looks amazing!
Not even close to the porsche inside and out. Audi looks dated and like every audi ever made.
The porsche might be better but i still think the audi looks better. Also the rear end of the porsche looks ugly.@@G82Watts
Love the way you explain the designs
This is the ppe platform it's ev only. Porsche is not doing a brand new Macan ice. They may refresh the current one more time but ultimately ice is going away for this nameplate
The macan is more compareable to the upcoming q6 etron. Btw really love your vids bro
The configurator sold me on the e-Macan. I’ll place an order later for a 2025.
Porsche’s configurator is goated
Best silver tone they have is GT-SIlver metallic :)
You should compare the new Macan with the new Audi Q6 e-tron, not the bigger Q8 e-tron.
Not the q4 etron?
@@jagkubas no, since the Q4 etron is a smaller car.
Watch the video again. If you still l don't get it, ask a question.
Am really impressed
I love this update from Porsche
Looks like a bloated Citroen
15:18 was filmed in Vienna, it is in the background right the Donauturm, and on the right the big bkack skyscraper is the "DC Tower"
I would like to hear your opinion on the Peugeot 508 (pre-facelift 2018-2022) it's a beautiful french car 🥰
The Porsche Macan is beautiful
Love the design commentary, keep up the nice work!
Agree with the comments that the Macan EV should be compared with the upcoming Q6 E-Tron rather than the Q8 or S Q8. The Macan and the Q6 share the same dimensions and platform, the Q8 is just larger than the Macan - and by a material degree!
I remember in the 90s we had a pc with a Turbo button.
It could ramp up the processing speed for a short time.
No it did not. It switched between supported frequencies. 33 MHz/ 66 MHz for the 486 for example.
Hey I think you have a typo in the title that maybe you will want to fix: You said “why” twice when the first time I think you meant “what” or “which”
Audi S2 1992 also had connected rear light design.
Sadly, over here in Europe, we will not be getting the Macan ICE. Purely on the looks I'd take the Porsche, but the Audi here is substantially cheaper, and the cost of upkeep will also be about a half. Moreover, in a few months, there will be more Audis at the dealerships than the Porsches, so you will get a better deal.
On a side note though: Macan and SQ8 are two different vehicles, two segments. The SQ6 is Macan's sibling.
New Macan EV in based on brand new Premium Platform Electric (PPE), which ismodular car platform for electric cars developed by Porsche and Audio. There will be Audi Q6 based on this platform revealed later this year.
Q8 e-tron is built on ICE platform.
Qestion 1: why?
Qestion 2: why?
The new platform the Macan uses is EV only and from what I know, there won’t be an ICE Macan in the future as Porsche states that the EV is the better option.
The question now is, what do their customer's say?
There will be no next generation ICE Macan, LOL. Macan EV is on PPE, a pure electric platform.
Please make a video of the old Audi Q8 vs New Audi Q8 design of exterior and interior if you have time for making the video.
I really like how the new Macan looks apart from the 22" wheels. I have never like those "looking-like-a-train" type wheels. Would probably buy with 20" also for better comfort, max 21". Have 20" on my Taycan 4S and they are perfect.
Unique design focus in the car review genre. Good job! Though I'm an audi guy...
Audi and Porsche? Who tells this dude that both made by same company? VW
They're not made by the same company. They're part of the same group. They pull from the same parts bin, but the cars are miles apart. They don't even look alike. Would you call the expenditure of electrical energy combustion?
I think removing the upper rear spoiler makes the rear 3/4 and side profile look strange. the gas macan and cayenne coupe show that it probably should keep that imo
really wanna see this matched up agaasint the tesla model Y performance. they both look similiar , same size and same power.
Not really the same target buyers though.
Best EU EV effort so far!
what..? audi tri- motor..? porsche don’t have isn’t it..? wow..
My main issue with the Macan EV's design is actually the wheels. The long wheelbase and the 23-inch wheels make the car look like a toy to be, almost like a Hot Wheels version of a Porsche.
looks like a hatchback
I actually think the Offroad wheels they have in the Konfigurator look better on the Car
The q8 etron drives 2 times beter then the porsche
Waiting till november for my q8 ❤
I know you dont review semi trucks. But do it for the design.
New Volvo VNL design review please 🙏🏼
Could you make a video on your thoughts about the new Porsche Taycan Turbo S facelift? I know you make one on the base models but the Turbo S variants have some key designs that I’m still not sure if I like them os dislike them 🤣
Love both cars but the SQ8 is just a little bigger.
Macan sits on PPE which is an exclusive E-Plattform while the SQ8 sits on a ICE shared Plattform
Its a lot bigger. The rear seat in the Macan is useless. Basically a 2+2 crossover.
Not an EV for me. The back and front are 😢
I love my Macan Turbo
I agree, that these 😑 headlights are just horrible. But why do you dislike the back?
You buy if you have enough money and no other financial worries and that is not case with 90+% of peoples
There won’t be a new internal combustion engines Macan, its electrification from this point forward.
Totally disagree with you on the looks of Taycan vs Panamera coz I think the opposite.
Pretty sure u meant “what do I buy and why”
I think you're the only one that likes the new Macan looks like. Porsche also has stated that they will not be updating the gas Macan.
There is not going to be a ice macan anymore, also it would be nice to see your comparison to the Audi q6 which is the macan sister model.
How can you afford so many cars?!?!?!
11:49 there won’t be a internal combustion engine Macan. They gonna keep on sale the last one and then rip! And yes this is a dedicated ev platform developed by Audi and Porsche (PPE)
Si, veramente un salto in avanti a livello di design, ma come vendite non credo che uguaglierà il successo della precedente versione visti i prezzi, la vecchia Macan era l' entry level insieme alla 718 del mondo Porsche. Vedremo, spero di sbagliarmi...
What does Bembli mean by next I.C.E. Macan, that's it. 2024 the I.C.E. Macan goes out of production and apparently will be on sale for about another 2yrs in other markets like here in the UK.
And then a few years later we will see the Porsche lineup look exactly like the Taycan???
There will be no next gen Porsche Macan with an ICE engine. That is why I got a 2024 one
If bmw would bring out that design in the front yall would hate it. Proof that it's no longer about the design but about the brand.
Porsche by far. The only weak point is the rear, a little too sloped, but acceptable.
Audi has lost so much identity. Back in early 2010's Audis were the best thing. When you compare an E class, 3 series, and an A4, the A4 looked a generation ahead, at least for me. It was the true symbol of futurism. The LED headlights were innovative back then and they were beautiful. I don't even need to talk about the interior. But then the dieselgate stuff happened and everything has changed. Now if feels like Audi is out of the competition. They're just not on par with Merc and BMW anymore. Audi's design these days are not necessarily bad, but definitely looks a generation behind and lost a lot of its charm and the brilliance it had back then. Audi used to be my favorite car manufacturer back then. I mean, for real. It was special. Too sad to see things go this was and in this era of EVs and crossovers, I hope Audi makes a comeback someday with something completely different.
Completely opposite for me. Out of all the german brands, Audi is the only brand who still release decent looking cars. All the other german brands have new cars that look disgusting.
Audi worked hard to develop their identity and get ahead of BMW and Merc from the mid 90s up until about 2018. Peak Audi was the B8/C7/D4/4S gen of 2012 to 2018. These cars just nailed functionality, reliability, performance and design. Perfect blend of modern tech, and appearance but with timeless design. The MMI from my 2014 S7 is still one of the most logically laid out ive ever used (6 years at a Porsche/Audi dealership, ive used them all). I get stopped all the time asking about my 10 year old car, still turns heads today. The C7 A7 body is one of the most brilliant automotive designs of all time, the more you look at how all the lines and angle come together on the car, the more beautiful it becomes. This is very ironic to me, as when I first saw it in person in 2011, I thought it was ugly. All good things take time to fully comprehend and appreciate.
The lighting is still industry leading. However , they lost their lead on interiors a long time ago.
There will be. NO gas version of the new Macan. Only ev.
Might be wrong, but heard petrol Macans were going away in 2024 EU and 2026 for NA market.
My understanding is USA and UK and other markets will keep the petrol car for awhile. The EU loses it because of their regulations surrounding cyber security.
If u look closely, it almost looks like Koenigsegg gemera
That new Macan launches without any ICE option shows (i) how useless this is for even mild offroad service, and (ii) how desperate the VW and Porsche groups are to push EVs after huge overinvestment in a currently uncompetitive technology
nice PORSHE MACAN PURO SANGUE 😅 i ll by the AUDI cause i can t recognize porshe anymore. 🤨 EV s are not my favorite category. 😑
_”*What* do I buy and why”_
Porshe is doing EV right!
Typo in the title
If I wanted an EV with boring AF paint I would just get a Tesla. I would get the Macan Turbo in Orange or Lavender.
Disagree fairly violently. The original combustion Macan is a far better proportioned than the new Macan EV, which is a clumsy looking lump.
Thinking to switch to Porsche Macan instead of an i5 Touring despite the price difference, BMW is too Chinese lately
haha, I have the same dilemma. Choosing between I5 and Macan. I guess Macan is the better choice with better range and should maintain value better
I wish it was an combustion engine car
Sorry, the Audi, as nice as it might look doesn’t stand a chance VS the new Macan. Porsche has raised the bar so high!
Why Audi designs always look 2014 ish ?
To retain its heritage. Many established car companies do that. If you want changes look to the newer companies such as Hyundai. They have non, so their constantly changing their look.
are you actually buying the Macan EV? Congratz in advance !
headlight design is bad. Old model is great
it's obvious that Bembli is scandinavian. What unbelieably boring choise of colours! Almost ALL scandinavian cars have greytone exterior, and black interior. FYI my Taycan has cherry red exterior, truffle brown interior.
The Macan ev is one of the only ev I actually like
I wouldn't buy an EV but between these two it's obviously porsche. Porsche looks way more futurstic and different. Those gold rims are perfect. Audi looks like an audi and dated honestly. Plus porsche is a tier above bmw merc and audi when it comes to quality
Dang I just bought a Q8 E-Tron Launch Edition every box ticked a few months ago. Should've waited for there Macan EV.
Shiiiiii Can’t take it back?😂 this thang is amazing. It looks good, it’s reliable, it’s fun, drives like a Porsche AND Efficient!
@@ballislife2351 yea the Q8 drives kinda heavy, I bet this thing handles way better
Taycan looks better than panamera, don‘t think so but okay😅
These 😑 headlights are horrible.
Gg
The Taycan
The Macan
The Cayman/Boxster
Will be the EV models
The 911
The Cayenne
The Panamera
Will be the ICE/Hybrid models
Cayenne is going ev in 2026, followed by the Panamera in 2027/2028. The last ICE/Hybrid will be the 911
💀💀💀💀
@@markm4123 perhaps, the ICE ban might not be soon as expected
@@JPSquare272Yes the ICE ban is most likely not happening anytime soon. I was just commenting on what porsche has said. The next generations of the cayenne and panamera will be all electric, but the current ICE versions will still be sold along side the EV’s
im really not a fan of it but hey ho
who cares what you would buy
Oh god, the new Porsche Macan is just hideous. The old design was just so much better
I think the main reason are these 😑headlights.
Man Im losing hope in humanity. That Macan looks disgusting.
Ok- bit why should you buy cars that can’t be used for distances over 350 km?
Range is 593km for the Turbo and 613km for the base model
Good question, you shouldn't. With the exception of a few such as the Lucid, these are commuter cars. Taking these things on a road trip would be a range anxiety nightmare.
@@doenercarl0698 I can’t prove it now, but I’m honestly sure that in realistic conditions (higher speeds,low temperature etc) the range can decrease significantly and you end up with values around the half which is not suitable for everyday use!
Their EVs better looking than their ICEs? Go home, you're drunk - as usual.
Just buy a used Macan
Overpriced AF.
The Macan is the small size and can't be compared to the Q8, which is in the bigger segment.
The Macan is a model y class priced at model x levels.
Looks nice but not worth spending on it until Porche come back down to their senses.
All of them look fat and ugly.
I think people have had their standart lowered too much these car are just big and honestly boring.
Obviously buy Porsche they are more reliable
This is one ugly car. Looks like audi. I would not hire anyone who thinks this car is a nice one.
Why do I buy and why?
