Hello Glad to see you are in a new location and it looks nice and warm there. By the way which part of the country where you in Cape Town or Durban? What did you think of the roads and the views as you drove around? l have heard it has some amazing roads particularly around the Garden Route. If you have a chance try it and let us know what you think.
Hi, are you sure about the brake ? It looked like a PCCB rather than the PSCB. PSCB will come with white calipers and the discs will be mirror-like surface.

What a beautifully, upclose, personal and passionate review. Very informative! Not your usual typical averagel car review nowadays common on many channels. This is how reviews should be done, real depth. Many thanks indeed for this review, I've just made up my mind on buying this car as it defines my personality and fits perfectly for my satisfaction for a car that gives me more than everything I ever needed from a mid size SUV. Brilliant work done mate. Greetings from Uganda 🇺🇬 😊
Great review and seriously considering as a replacement for my low mileage 2015 Macan S. Only real concern is the vulnerability of the rads given those large exposed front air intakes ? Wonder if there will be any after market grills for them ?
Ahhh, the same engine as my 2108 RS5. I know it takes a lot of flack for not sounding as wild as older and bigger engines but as a daily driver that I floor here and there, it's an awesome powerplant. I've gone trough the same sound withdrawal going from L-twins to a V4 Ducati motorcycle. As sums of their parts, they're better bikes and cars than their predecessors and I'm happier with my choices each day. This V6 actually sounds pretty good with an exhaust upgrade but I haven't bothered since I'm actually enjoying that it's not attracting every cop in town like my previous cars. Great review!
100k for this car? It is really funny. For what? Brand? Engine? Performance? Sorry there is plenty of cars with the same or better performance and much cheaper. I am poor man so maybe this is the reason I wrote my crit.
I can't agree with you. Car manufacturers have to improve and modernise the designs to make their products more distinctives from the others. They are trying to create unigue looks and also, they follow AUDI design paths (speaking of the rear part). In my opinion this looks very cool and especially at night.
Andrei Pashkov the new rear end looks disgusting the 1st generation lights were 3D art and the light bar looks cheap and ugly. Sad all Porsches have them now. My 2017 Macan S doesn’t though thank god it has the fantastic lights and no lighbar
Really nice video. Love my 2021 Volcano Grey Turbo but wish I had PCCB. With that said, I'm beyond thrilled with PSCB but think PCCB brings it up another level. Love the black tips on the sport exhaust but wish Porsche would send out a software update to improve the sound.
I much prefer the buttons over the infotainment center system of doing something such as directing air to where one wants it to go. If only Porsche had provided some of the analog buttons or switches on the 911 series. Of course the people with iphones will likely use their phone for navigation, solving one of the problems. It is time to take this car for a ride. I prefer leather over microfiber. The steering wheel is beautiful in this car. AF I should add that seeing South Africa, for me, is something that i like as it appears to be a beautiful country. And while I was born in California, my generation is two away, for my grandfather was born in the Southeast Cape. Grahamstown. (Can't bear to call it anything else.) Nice presentation.
Great review that also mirrors much of my own opinions of this great car and the driving pleasure it delivers. I have recently acquired a 2020 Macan S, and although it doesn't deliver the performance of the Turbo Model, it still has impressive performance when needed and is a pleasure to drive under normal every day conditions. Also impressive has been my average highway fuel consumption, which has averaged between 25 and 29 mpg during my 2000 mile break in period. (USA gallons and miles) Your comments about fuel efficiency on the turbo model has me believing now that my own results are not unusual.
The Macan facelift and design is nigh unto perfect. The Stuttgart people have done a fabulous job. 2.9 liters with 550 Newton meters of torque. Incredible. A lighter engine means better handling. Efficient twin turbos. Awesome. Sounds fabulous as well. Kudos to Porsche and for their layout as well. The clock is practical as well. The performance is really great for a compact SUV. Just quite a car. Brilliant! AF
The light bar in the rear is a nice update. But the fact that it's not covered in a clear housing like the Cayenne, means Porsche is gonna hear from everyone and their mother about how impossible all those tiny nooks and crannies are to clean. People are gonna want the whole thing replaced every spring. I'm seriously dreading it when I trade my 2017 GTS in this next June. Middle Class problems right? Lol
Im contemplating wether to get this macan turbo or the new 2020 audi RSQ3, but there are 2 cons for me in the macan. 1) that center console (i really hate seeing empty buttons) 2) still no android auto support? Your joking right. Its 2020, i hate apple products doesnt mean i cant afford them. Before everyone starts saying your comparing a q3 to a macan when its classed with the q5. Im talking about the RSq3, its 400 hp, the macan turbo is 440. Yea its alittle down on power but the macan turbo weights more. Power to weight ratio its more evenly matched. The rsq3 has a 5cylinder turbo, which also sounds better, and the macan turbo has a 2.9l v6, bigger engine more weight. I would really like to see a direct comparison between the two, both on track and off. Im still deciding between the two, but the only 2 cons i see with the macan thats pulling me away from it (atleast for now) is android auto not supported and that old center dash. My question is whats better? The new 2020 RSq3 sportback or macan turbo?
Thanks Brian for a very informative review - part of the reason that I ordered one of the 1st Macan GTS's to come to South Africa back in August 2020 and which I will take delivery of within the next week. It has a "full house" of add-ons including Air suspension, Chrono package + 21 inch Spider wheels and I hope it really drives as well as you describe - as, thanks to Covid lockdown here - I have not even been able to drive a demo, as I understand that none of that version arrived into the country after the GTS was launched. Can't wait to drive it on the twisty turny coastal roads from Pringle Bay to Gordons Bay early in the morning.
That button heavy centre console looked dated when the car originally launched; so it looks absolutely ridiculous now. Guess it’s good if you fly a commercial airliner and like lots of buttons. Otherwise a positive upgrade.
Macan must be the car that looks the ugliest with the hood open :D Like it though. Looks much less of a boat than the Cayenne and a size that actually can be fun to throw around a curvy road :P
Fantastic review guys :) And you were in SA! Looks like Cape Town too! Totally up to meet up with you guys when you are down here again sometime. :) Maybe even help with getting around!
It is strange for a review car to not be equipped with a common option such as Porsche Entry and Go. I suspect that most Macans are like mine, without a key start.
Dear Autogefühl, wouldn't you like to reach a bigger audience, for example Spanish (Spain & Latin America) speaking audience? I love cars, I love your reviews, I speak English and Spanish and could work for you reviewing the cars in Spanish. Let me know if you're interested.
Absolute waste of money... If you want to spend this much money of a 4-door Porsche SUV, get a Cayenne Coupé E-Hybrid; you'll get a lot more for your money (and in the US you'll get $7500+ back in federal/state tax credits/rebates), you'll have more hp and torque and a lot more fun, plus more space in the back seat and cargo area, more options, and a much better instrument panel. If they made a Macan E-Hybrid, it would be by far the best vehicle in the Macan line, with the best hp and best torque; word is that an E-Hybrid version will be out for MY2022, when the Macan BEV is available.
1st. Macan is brilliant. I have a 2017 Macan S and a Boxster 2006 fun summer car. The Macan is so comfortable and yet fun. I love it. BUT the gen 2 rear light bar is horrible. The Gen 1 rear lights are a work of art. Stunning.
Thank you for a great review Brian. I am picking up my new Silver Turbo on Thursday. I really like the Kermit the frog green but my wife said no... After test driving the S I also came to the conclusion this may be the last of the ICE SUV dinosaurs that is truly fun and quality. Life today is a compromise, this to me seems a way to enjoy the transition that we are all in.
Looks sooo much better though and doesn't rust from the factory, has decent paint and interior quality as well. Plus it won't drop like a stone in terms of resale value.

Cape Town! Chapmans peak drive is amazing
Hi, are you sure about the brake ? It looked like a PCCB rather than the PSCB.
PSCB will come with white calipers and the discs will be mirror-like surface.
Yes indeed. PSCB is Standard with the Turbo, this was the optional ceramic brake.
I love this car, but it gonna cost me 300,000€ where I live.
uffff
seriously Brian is one of the best reviewers ever🙏🏼
thanks man!
Not as good as Mat Watson

Brian is such a good presenter.
This guy really knows how to review and I've watched all the Macan/Cayenne reviews 🏆👍
cheers Mathew! Hope you ve subbed to both our channels =)
welcome to cape town guys hope to see you soon again.
I'm starting to develop an Autogefuhl addiction - can't work without watching one of your reviews on the second screen :)
good addiction =)
A mistake has been made. Those are the upgraded Ceramic brake option and not the shiny surface coated ones with silver caliber color.
I think so. The yellow calipers are for the ceramic and white for the new surface coated PSCB brakes,
Oh good grief there always has to be some twat that wants to point out the obvious...what an idiot
Welcome To South Africa 👏👏👏

Ordered mine a month ago. EPA certification delays blah! Best video of the 2020 Macan Turbo out there :-)
thanks and enjoy =)
Update: On my 2nd+ year ownership of the 2020 Macan Turbo. Also this video inspired me to take a visit to South Africa; headed there in a few months!
Brian exquisitely shows us what the Macan Turbo is all about! Well done!! ...no electric can be so Electric... Great power!!
New Porsche Macan Turbo 2020 is very cool.
I saw this car in Sapphire Blue a few weeks ago. It was raining hard and I *still* turned my neck to look back at it.
It’s gorgeous in real life.
Everytime he says " short legs with a long torso " I think : a Giant Dwarf !!! Nice job man! Congrats!!

Fantastic review. Detailed and everything I need before I pick mine up next week!
You can’t assume smaller wheels will make a big difference for comfort. I feel like this gives them too much credit.
The best review of any car hands down. This man speaks clearly and he is not boring.
I have to admit, long time not seen a perfect review like this one. Keep it up bro :)

I'm really sad how the ruined the back a bit with those new lights. It was perfect before the facelift.
My exact thoughts.

Great Review Brian! this will be a great upgeade to my 07 Acura RDX :D
Absolutely brilliant!! Picking mine up up in a week 😬👍

It’s a VAG Van..horrible thing, buy an estate if you want a sporty drive and load capacity, and the S model is the absolutely worse option
Love it! Good presenter!

Such a shame that the next generation is going to be all electric. Porsche should make an electric sporty crossover that can sit alongside the Macan.

It is strange for a review car to not be equipped with a common option such as Porsche Entry and Go. I suspect that most Macans are like mine, without a key start.
The only Macan that I've driven is a Turbo, and I agree it's hard to imagine it another way.
This engine in the Audi RS5 is fantastic, I would assume it handles the additional weight of the Macan with ease.
Yes, the comments are true. He really gets this car.
My first like from a youtuber! Thanks!

thanks so much! And please recommend us =)
Brian you can put the media controls and navigation on the homepage, so you can see them simultaneously...
Give me the old one haha that 3.6 V6 sounds so much better and is plenty fast!
Blobinfishgames and the rear lights are so much nicer than the rubbish gen 2 lightbar

This just makes me excited for the electric Macan.

Absolute waste of money... If you want to spend this much money of a 4-door Porsche SUV, get a Cayenne Coupé E-Hybrid; you'll get a lot more for your money (and in the US you'll get $7500+ back in federal/state tax credits/rebates), you'll have more hp and torque and a lot more fun, plus more space in the back seat and cargo area, more options, and a much better instrument panel.
