2024 Porsche Macan Turbo | Supercar Family Hauler

We do a first-drive review on the new 2024 Porsche Macan EV to showcase the engineering and how it translates into a driving experience. This next-generation approach will be met with skepticism; however, we get a chance to explain and see if this technology makes smaller vehicles and SUVs better than the internal combustion versions. Other EVs to consider are the Hyundai Ioniq N, Lucid Air, BMW iX, and Tesla Model Y.

EVs just don’t make sense for those of us that live in urban neighborhoods with no garages or private parking . I don’t fancy being entirely reliant on public charging stations.

[@grigorioschristodoulou5229]

Eeexactly, and public fast charging is stupidly expensive. And until recently you needed idiotic subscriptions, charging cards, which is pure artificial BS. Charging in mall car parks etc. is fine for now but at some point they’ll stop offering it for free or they won’t expand it when there are more EVs around (why should they pay for your charging?) Plus, insurance is becoming a huge issue, as companies refuse to repair them (for less than 40k for a scratch). Of course, that’s not an inherent EV issue, but it’s the perfect and only opportunity for the automakers to change the status quo in repairability, claiming BS like safety, cybersecurity, quality of work etc.

[@ryanfraley7113]

@@grigorioschristodoulou5229 None of that is the actual issue with non-Tesla charging. The issue with non-Tesla charging in the US until widespread NACS adoption is that Electrify America and a lot of the other third party charging services suck.

Also doesn't make sense in rural areas where you have to drive 300 miles on Tuesday.

Yep, that’s a major problem. My city has been adding chargers to a few utility poles as a pilot program. I think that’s a reasonable idea depending on the density of the city.

[@axelfiraxa]

8:30 Porsche has it right here. I dont need 1000km on one charge. If a car can ride 300km and charge that distance back up in 5 minutes that would be the point at which I would buy an EV. I will wait until they get there.

[@Tokamak3.1415]

@@sunnohh Assuming you don't live in an apartment, if you charged to 80% the night before you wouldn't have needed to stop at a charger or in your case gas. The only time you really need to hit DC fast charging is when you're doing road trips unless you're a traveling salesperson or towing or can't charge at home. People have learned to top off their phones overnight, I'm not sure why it's so hard to plug in the car and let the car draw power at night when it's cheaper than daytime peak.

[@ayushmalpeddi2793]

I completely agree some EVs are overpriced, the new Macan included. But a base Macan 4 EV with the tax credit is about the same price as a comparable ICE Macan when talking MSRP. A new Macan S is 74K base. Keep in mind the Macan EV comes standard with the panoramic roof, heated seats, heated steering wheels, air/adaptive suspension, better digital screens inside, etc. Comparably equipped they cost about the same. Especially if you lease and get the tax credit. Mind you something like a base Macan 4 EV has better real world acceleration than a Macan S ICE. Also the 100-120K versions are for the Turbo model where the Macan ICE has no equivalent anymore.

[@ahnubis_OG]

I wanted the S but it doesn’t drive as nice at the T. The T drives better than the GTS as well. The T is just not fast enough for me. Will have to remove the limiter if possible.

Thank you for your reviews as i am a huge fan. But can you guys be the first to also talk about the plastic off gasing in the car itself, I had my older model macan being looked at under warranty still and had a loan car for 10 days. The off gasing in the car ( Kia Sorento) was so bad i had to have 2 windows down as i was feeling quite ill from it. I feel it comes down to the materials used and the vehicle age of course. One last thing for me is more about wind noise test on the same road each time and db reading in the cabin would be great. ( yes tyre pressure/ wear and make is a factor) We have some horrific roads here in Queensland Australia. Thanks for taking the time to read this.

I don't need an SUV, but when I test drove the Cayman and then jumped into the Macan, I was really surprised at how it didn't even feel like an SUV at all. No, it's not going to replace a sports car or even a sports sedan, but for the practicality, space, the Macan is really impressive for a fits all needs. If you have a family and still want to drive lively, this is probably the only SUV I would consider. Porsche is truly on its on level. The build quality, driving experience and reliability is tough to match dollar for dollar.

[@nberkel]

I gotta say I like this a lot! From powertrain, to aesthetics, to interior. My only complaint honestly is the lack of regen/one pedal driving 😞

There’s so much to this that’s fascinating. I’d love to have a sporty EV. In my other comment, I noted that I’d been driving my Boxster in the Tetons. 22 hrs from home. I couldn’t bring this EV Macan out here. So much is perspectives, it seems, on this road trip. I’d have one in a heartbeat, but could I take an adventure in it? Do I need to? Idk. I’ve done a ton of driving lately in my combustion cars, that made me wish I had an EV. I can’t wait for your R2 video when it comes. ICE cars fit into every realm of life better right now. It’s the infrastructure problem. That’s the hump. When we get over that, all’s well.

@savagegeese Is any manufacturer allowing you to set temp ranges in there EV hvac controls? You guys get great access to the designers, it would be wonderful if you could ask them how they go about designing their hvac systems. The first thing EV folks online suggest when asked how to improve range is to turn off or minimize the use of hvac. Home hvac controls allow you to set a range of comfort (e.g. keep the house between 67F and 73F) and I don't understand why car manufacturers haven't done this. I'd appreciate if you are able to ask about this if you get the chance when you go interview reps from the different manufacturers. Maybe they program this into their hvac already, but just don't allow the user to adjust it. Anyway - thanks for producing the content.

It was mentioned that paint a sample supported 50 something colors, in 2021 Porsche announced “Paint to Sample,” more than 160 pre-approved colors will be available with the option to specify a totally bespoke color through “Paint to Sample Plus,” which requires extensive feasibility testing. Paint a sample plus allows you to send in a sample of the color of some other vehicle or such and Porsche will match it thus offering virtually millions of colors. Of course that comes at a cost. 😅

Are there really a critical mass of buyers for these?

[@matthewnelson5680]

A couple corrections. These batteries are lasting 10-20 years. Also, all of the US was electrified 100 years ago, so the infrastructure is there.

​@@matthewnelson5680maybe? Depends how much range you can live with at the 10yr mark. 75% on degradation plus a cold day (not everywhere is California) pose major hurdles for buyers. Say what you want but sales are falling off a cliff for a reason. Canada for example is doing absolutely nothing in the charging infrastructure space. True for most places. So probably the best solution is to drastically increase range which solid state batteries will accomplish.

[@panameradan6860]

Great review as usual. The lack of one-pedal driving as even an option is close to a fatal flaw in Porsche’s BEVs - huge mistake … In Porsche ICEVs, you have paddle shifters to down-shift when going down steep inclines or are in stop-and-go traffic where it’s tiresome to always be pressing the brake pedal… that is why you want one-pedal driving at least as an option in BEVs…. I guarantee you that if Porsche offered one-pedal driving as an option, most owners would have it on all the time

[@ARentz07]

The regen thing is interesting. I have to wonder whether "one-pedal driving" will be a thing in the future. I think I vibe more with Porsche's strategy of giving you the ability to just coast without using paddles or going menu-diving.

I know you don’t talk about styling, but this thing looks really cool! Hey its not yet and too expensive, but how can you fault someone for picking this thing up when it makes sense.

It comforting that in @ ten years most of the companies will be mass-producing cars like this. If it was 80,000 $ cheaper and even half as powerful I would buy it in a heartbeat! There is no doubt, Porsche makes the best cars and soft SUV out there

Bought!!!

Other than the frunk, ICE Macan had the same space inside: it had two cup holders, holders in the door, etc. CR-V has more space. I don’t see massive improvements in this sense in an electric Macan.

Porsche has always focused on getting in starting car, setting hvac, setting radion putting into gear and driving. Something that can be appreciated when some makes love to make that whole operation a puzzle to be solved.

It's a mistake to not have the option of 1 pedal max regen. With everything this vehicle is capable of doing, that should be a choice for someone who's familiar with EVs and likes that driving style and range extension.
