2020 Porsche Macan Turbo vs Range Rover Velar SVAutobiography review - the best fast SUV? | Autocar

[@vinnyvsx]

Awesome cars, but these two have made them seem so boring. They're good presenters in their own right, but together they're as dull as watching paint dry.

[@kuddin9021]

Don’t hold back 😂🤣

I was thinking the same, so started going through the comments and guess what Your comment was the first I read. 🙂

Vinny C I completely agree. God these two made those car seem so boring.

[@Trendyflute]

I think "boring" really means "too rambling, not very concise, get to the point". They don't need to reinvent the wheel, they just need to tighten up their language.

[@NubletPie278]

Love the Porsche as a car but I couldn't say no to that Range Rover engine. One of the last great old school engines with a proper noise. And honestly 22mpg for an engine like that in a 2000kg SUV is not bad.

If you’re buying one with your own money then you should really take depreciation into account , in which case the Macan wins hands down!

[@Muler3627]

@The Talentless Mr. Kipling As someone who's bought over 15 Porsches with my own money, I'd like to call absolute bollocks on that.

[@Muler3627]

The Talentless Mr. Kipling - apologies for basing my opinion on personal experience of actually purchasing these vehicles myself, I should’ve infact listened to the wise words of yourself; a bitter little soul who’s never bought a Porsche in his life. Brilliant. I love the KZbin comments section.

[@mathieuburns6570]

@@Muler3627 Please give examples, cause all Porsches hold their values better than any other comparable car on the market.

[@dutchuncle3310]

The thing about depreciation is you don’t care if you can afford to be buy either of these new. On the other hand I really like huge depreciation because I buy used. In general Range Rover depreciates much more over time witch is reasonable because maintenance on a Range Rover is more expensive.

Surprised you couldn’t get the Macan Turbo’s back end to move. In mine (last model Turbo), with PSM sport (or off) it’s very easy to get it a bit sideways. Especially on these cold wintery U.K. roads.

[@DonFather]

If you like the Rover more, just get the V6 and it will be cheaper, prolly a LOT cheaper without the SVA badge. Simple.

[@DiaperSNiFFER]

But then no 5.0Litre V8… 😞

[@TheGreatLoco]

While both brands sit higher than mainstream luxury brands, Range Rover is a far better marque for SUV’s. Porsche will never be able to compete there. Why would someone buy Range Rover’s 911 competitor even if it’s slightly better? Some may buy the Macan as the sensible decision, but the mystic just isn’t there. And never will be there. The next detail is that Porsche focuses on sportiness, Range Rover on luxury. The presenters evaluated this SUV’s like they would evaluate two sport cars. One of them even states that he doesn’t like SUV’s.

[@1xtra299]

you guys should have included the GLC 63

[@edwill1595]

Porsche everyday!

[@Adam-M1]

Rather a M340i estate over the Macan. More boot space too. What is the point of SUVs again? With the spare cash you can get an additional weekend hot hatch.

[@CapnT87]

Is the Velar less fun, less loud etc than its cousin F-Pace SVR? I have the SVR and have been thinking about moving to the Velar SVA but test drives aren’t allowed...

[@TasimanaOG]

you are better off with either a bmw m550i a tesla model s p100d or a audi rs4 / mercedes glc 63s

[@CapnT87]

VoltBolt Games I actually test drove the RS but it was pretty slow and lethargic compared to my C63...and it was so quiet haha so that was out of the question. Drove the GLC63 as well but the new ones with the OPFs also kill the sound so I think my SVR is the best option. My dealer told me the Velar is being discontinued anyways

[@qiqeh]

Do not try to justify the SUV trend. BMW M340i xdrive touring does the same as the Macan and more for 30k € less.

[@comfortableshoes8945]

Qiqe maybe some people prefer the styling of these over the M340i touring? It is a big price difference though

[@Sandouras]

Well yeah a porsche will always be more expensive because of the badge. But to your point, i'd rather have the SUV for the shorter length, the higher seating position and the (admittedly not great but better than those of a station wagon) off road capabilities. Why would you drive a station wagon? Those things are as long as a battleship!

[@qiqeh]

John Bae for sure. That and the high sitting position are the only subjective reasons to prefer a SUV over a estate car. Regarding all the features they were talking about in the video (performance, comfort, practicality, handling, efficiency...), a estate is objectively superior. There’s no way to justify the purchase of a SUV from a rational point of view. It’s a matter of physics.

[@qiqeh]

Sandouras the BMW 3 series touring is just 3cm longer than the Macan. Length is not the problem. Off road capabilities. How many SUV buyers drive their cars off road? One out of ten? The Porsche badge is more expensive than the BMW one? Not 30k more in any case. Check it out comparing equivalent segment cars. M8 GC vs Panamera Turbo, X3M vs Macan Turbo, X5M vs Cayenne Turbo...

[@Sandouras]

@@qiqeh It doesnt matter how much you value the Porsche badge, but how much Porsche can oversell their cars and get away with it.

As a boring middle aged man with a family, I would need to know which one can fit a buggy easiest in the boot.

[@tyrrellnick]

Hey guys, just a quick one on the Velar fuel economy/range to empty you mentioned: JLR fits an 82L tank to this model but didn't update the calibration of the trip computer so your range to empty is still based on the 65L tank.

[@almac9203]

That is poor engineering. That kind of thing would be unacceptable to Porsche.

Only Land Rover product I've ever bought is a 110.. I knew what I was buying and accepted its foibles and knew what to expect from a design that hasn't changed much since 1948.. Having owned 2 Macan's in the past, they're exceptionally good to drive and reliable.. As for Range Rover.. I can't understand the masses of people still flocking to showrooms like zombies..

[@giuistefanjr72]

@@VinayKumar-db4qz how many new cars have you bought from Land Rover?

[@300bhpton]

Couple of genuine questions. You say the Macan is "one car that can do everything". Can you justify this? Looking around KZbin it seems the Macan has about zero off road capability. Therefore it is not an off roader and cannot do off road things and activities. Is this not a HUGE miss when it is meant to be a 4x 4 SUV? Wouldn't a 4wd Estate car also do everything the Macan does but better? Next question, you say the Jaguar AJV8 is 'old school'. How so? They use continuously variable intake and exhaust camshaft timing and are direct injection. Sounds rather on par with 99% of the other mass produced V8 engines on offer and ahead of some. You also bemoan 22mpg from an off road capable 4x4 packing 550bhp --- come on WTF. Are you mental or trying an attempt at poor humour? Seriously what other 550bhp AWD 4x4's of the same weight do anything significantly different in the mpg department. You even go on to say you'd expect a sports car of the same performance to do no better. What sort of mpg do you honestly think you should be getting in 2020 from such an engine????

[@ashleylemmer8016]

Difficult choice, they have totally different characters. The Porsche is more road biased and conservative styling, but better gearbox. The Range Rover has a phenomenal engine. Thanks guys.

[@loukasantoniou8054]

I dont think many mention that macan is actually a pretty good offroader, i would definately option in with airsprings for more comfort and offroad capability, though the rover is better offroader

[@NikolaiTsekov]

Don't think these are comparable. You can compare the Macan to F-Pace SVR, Stelvio QV... you know - SUVs made for taking corners fast. The Velar SVAD? Don't think there is much to compare it to. Bigger top of the line MBs and BMWs and Audis, but these come as the RRS competitors, not the Velar. I own the V6 diesel Velar, my only regret is I missed the V6 petrol engine (they've stopped selling it some time ago) and I couldn't wait for JLR to release the hybrid V6 petrol that is somewhere on the 2021-2022 lists.

[@geoffk777]

SUVs aren't really my speed. But, between these two, the Porsche is cheaper, more economical and drives better on-road. And, since it's a Range Rover, the Velar will be a garage queen that causes you no end of grief. I understand that AutoCar wants to wave the flag and hates to dump on the Range Rover, but it's really an easy choice.

[@DriftKr6l]

The Velar, pretty it is, reliable its not, this is why I went for a Macan Turbo. Nice video, should have done a quick race against one another ;)
