Crappy small EV car ... no more real gas cars by Porsche

[@SS.1.]

Can’t understand why would design the rear camera to stick up and be invisible whole time. Why not hide the rear camera under the spoiler. Where is the roof spoiler? wich would make the look less bald…. There is so many ugly and wrong details witch make me question about is Porsches head of design fit to job….

[@ElCesaro2]

This car is not worth being called a Porsche. Porsche is about not making compromises, this car is a compromise on 4 wheels.

hello - can you explain what is this channel here? kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y2XRpKyilL2Ap6M is it a fake who stole your videos or you are working in different channel too?

[@alexp-de]

I hate the trend of putting the main headlight further down in a seperate, somewhat disguised housing. In this case it isn't even disguised at all, but looks like unfinished design in my eyes. Simplicity is better 90% of the time.

[@baronvonjo1929]

I actually think that looks good on some cars. But my immediate thought was how poorly it was done here.

[@Rei_n1]

It's unification. Svaing of $$$. Lower placement means shorter reach of the low beam. Less safe noght driving.

[@Wheels-and-Tires]

[@merlin2627]

[@mazmenendez]

What's your thought about that water collecting under the hood of the frunk? Do you foresee that as being an issue?

[@autogefuehl]

not at the beginning, but if it happens very often you might collect something there which grows ;-)

Loved the review Thomas, as a former Porsche Macan Turbo (ICE) owner myself I really appreciate this review you have done also comparing with the way the ICE Macan drives and other aspects like exterior and interior of the car. I want to see the rear wheel drive Macan EV review once available to really have a full comparison and then maybe go for a test drive. Gradually believing in EVs more and more as new models are released by Porsche

[@autogefuehl]

[@crisholmurb007]

Fantastic review. Fun to watch but importantly also informative.

[@autogefuehl]

thanks, please recommend !

[@Cobnapint]

Another great review Thomas. It'll be interesting to see how the Macan 4 feels in comparison, and how both compare to the Q6 e-tron.

[@autogefuehl]

We ll keep u updated!

[@julien.le.createur]

the charging on both sides is actually damn useful. On my smart #3 brabus it's only on the left side, so when you park to an electric parking spot on the right side, you can only charge on the front spot, because the cable doesn't have enough reach for the rear spot. So that makes half of the parking spots available for me. Or, I'd have to spend another 200-300 euros on a longer cable, which also becomes very voluminous and wouldn't fit anymore in the under-trunk. So double charging doors are not just a gadget.

[@thomasjanssen9124]

I also like the overhang of the combustion engine model better. Also the overall design doesn‘t scream Porsche like before, can‘t explain why, perhaps it‘s also the front design with the non oval headlights. Other than that: great car! - oh and you finally can fold the back seats from the trunk, Porsche listened!

[@planetfabulous5833]

Highly appreciated!

[@davdep]

Nice looking car, it actually look's like a Porche and the performance is a big thumbs-up, it's a better looking car than the old looking petrol version.

[@DwainDwight]

looks awesome, and even better electric.

[@luciussander8217]

Electric, no thanks!

[@ianmichael8117]

ICE ICE baby

[@denziiey]

The split headlights is not a good look on a Porsche. It looks like the hyundai ioniq

[@chingaling30]

140k for the baby Porsche SUV seems insane. Even 115 is crazy

[@concinnus]

It starts at $80k, which is reasonable. What it goes up to is irrelevant unless you want those upgrades.

[@cadriver2570]

@@concinnus These things are so stripped down at the starting price. It's basically a lifted Golf sized vehicle. Just get a car or hatch if you want great handling.

[@concinnus]

@@cadriver2570 LoL, sure dude. You sound like someone with a Camry trying to convince himself he's not missing much. And for my part I already have a 1-ton midengine car, you don't need to tell me where to find handling. The Macan isn't for me, but acting like it offers nothing over a $60K typical BEV crossover is absurd.

[@yissibiiyte]

​@@concinnusThe base Macan does indeed offer nothing more than a 60k or even a 40k EV. In fact it offers less. If you get a very base Porsche of any model you don't even get cruise control. The base models are completely stripped of the features you would find on a 60k EV.

[@concinnus]

@@yissibiiyte They only list adaptive cruise control (which requires radar) as being an option, so I'll bet basic CC is standard and your info is out of date.

[@hege750]

What I love about Autogefühl is you get the typical German car review with lots of attention to detail, but in a language you can actually understand. Thomas, you say that the Turbo is quite rough-riding. How about the regular Macan 4 with the air suspension, is it any more comfortable?

[@hege750]

Nevermind, at the end of the video you addressed this issue. 😁

[@autogefuehl]

More about the wheels indeed! And the general Porsche setup

[@KNGnBLK]

The exterior is gorgeous! I hope they put this design language in the next Cayenne...

[@aznhandles]

Hands down the best looking and EV SUV out there so far!

[@edwardharris1022]

I love Porsche, I've had 2, but I think I'd get the Ioniq 5N and keep the €70k I've just saved. EV depreciation is massive

[@IndigoStargazer]

Good one

[@kinocchio]

Don't buy it outright. Lease.

[@edwardharris1022]

@@kinocchio Agreed - but that's very dependent on where you live. Where I am in Portugal, the lease rates are bad.

[@knutsandin755]

@@kinocchio won’t the leases price in the devaluation?

[@ETr4d3]

Or get A8 + model 3, best of both worlds, a car for long trips + a car for short trips around town.

I've always liked the Macan, this one though I think it might take me a while to warm up to it. That sensor to open the hood is really cool though!.

[@adrianrubi5012]

So the Q5 will take the place of the internal combustion Macans?

[@소소한일상-f1d]

so, no PSCB offered? then how am I gonna handle the dust...? hope later version will allow it as well as PCCB

[@getoffthegrid5665]

I wonder what is Black Rock position or holdings within Porsche? Also where does Porsche source its cobalt from? I’d never buy EV I live where’s too cold in the winter..

[@jtn1920]

How does suspension comfort in Normal mode compare to Taycan?

[@j.m.4444]

Luckily there is a Porsche Badge on the bonnet, otherwise it could be any car brand.

[@tomagunchi8816]

Spot on review!...but majority of Porsche fans would've preferred an updated fuel efficient ICE version or hybrid. Porsche be like "it'll be too costly to update the ICE platform"...meanwhile Audi....LOL yea might cost Porsche more now if this gamble fails.

[@autogefuehl]

Cheers 🙏

[@TedTed-xh1ys]

As Porsche sits on a wait list of tens of thousands for the EV Macan.

[@edwarddejong8025]

The Macan has gotten way too expensive. It has been their best selling model, but 80 to 100k is 10k too much for that market segment. Porsche won't die, but they won't thrive either with this pricing. The Model Y will continue to kick butt in this segment.

[@ColinBarton-u8n]

based on reviews I've seen - interior is economy segment vs premium segment, handling and ride also economy vs premium. Model Y is undoubtedly good value for economy EVs

[@luciussander8217]

Macan buyers don't spend £100k plus on their cars. Good luck Porsche with that and it's an EV, so who on earth will want that. My daily is a Macan GTS, 23 model. Last one I'll own. Back to Merc or Audi for me and no doubt, many more Macan owners.

[@trubenekrjakub]

I want to actually spend that money. I love EV Porsche, but Taycan was too small. Besides this is SUV (or something) so I do not need Turbo. I will buy the basic Macan, I fill it with club leather and that would be a fantastic car. EVs are less complicated and more efficient. ICE (and I love my Z4 six-cylinder roadster) are almost obsolete now. And once the solid electrolyte accumulators roll out there will be no reason to buy ICE except for good ol' smoke and engine sound.

[@remu._.]

It's really helpful to buy. thanks!

[@autogefuehl]

Thank you so much! Please recommend / share our channel and our videos 🙏

[@victorgasparoni]

How much do you think the 22 wheel impacts confort wise?

[@yasharyash3130]

So is the suspension much stiffer than Taycan (on air suspension as well)?

[@aekara1000]

What’s the length of the both with the seats folded down?

[@spirosgavriilidis3705]

Great review Thomas!what about a comparison with the last glc 63s you tried a month ago?

[@autogefuehl]

Cheers! Driving fun was on the side of the GLC

[@haraldscherrelies5746]

Hi Thomas...excellent review, as always. There is another comment I think worth mentioning...why frameless windows on the new Macan ev?? Every time you open the door, the window lowers a bit, and when you close the door it raises again. Open the door too fast, and the window catches. Most folks don't mind them, but I had them on my 2012 BMW E92 M3, and hated them. It's done for weight saving and sporty looks, but isn't this still an SUV first? I know that all Tesla's, BMW ev's, and most sports cars have them, but Mercedes ev's for example don't. I'm going to take a close look at the 2025 - 2026 Mercedes EQC SUV when it gets released, and compare it with the Macan ev.

[@autogefuehl]

Thanks keep tuning in! Porsche specific decision, the Q6 etron does have frames... its a philosophy and design question

Very nice review! but how does the Macan turbo air suspension compare with the taycan one?

[@997steve]

Hmmmm, in my opinion the previous macan looked so much better, lights looked more in keeping with other models, no clamshell bonnet and no ice 😢

[@qledd14]

Its a bit surprising for the hard plastic materials on the bottom of door covers. Considering the price. Which is huge. At first moment it looked strange regards design, but through-out the video my eye had adopted and in fact in looks really good design-wise :)

[@martintokinaga5261]

How does this compair to EV6 gt or Ionic 5N which as similar size and 1/3 the price.

(21:40) the sun reflecting off the rear spoiler would be really annoying in my rear-view mirror… putting a moving spoiler below the rear window of an suv is absurd … the ICE Macan has it right with an overhead stationary rear spoiler

[@XENONEZZ2]

Your comments regarding the sporty ride quality were interesting....it will be equally interesting to see if the Audi Q6 E-tron can be really comfortable and sporty at the same time. Also when you review the Audi could you please evaluate the augmented HUD....for me it's this kind of tech that might encourage me to open my wallet..!!..🤣

[@malcolmhedges7346]

Macan 4 or a used Taycan ? I think I'll wait for the used market for the facelifted Taycan to compare, around 30% cheaper though spec for spec and there should be a lot of availability on the used market as the Macan is a high volume car by Porsche standards

[@Rumblingbelly]

I think the macan 4 is way too slow for an EV so my plan is to wait longer to buy a used turbo

Porsche missed the mark on the Macan EV by not having one-pedal driving. As someone who has become accustomed to EV OPDrive in stop and go traffic, this is a big miss. Road and Track said "this will cost Porsche sales". Those who know, know.

[@ausskiguy]

Hi Thomas, your thumbs should always be on the face/front of the steering wheel - not wrapped around it touching your fingers. Even in a low speed collision the steering wheel can spin it's full revolutions in hundredths of a second and will break both your thumbs. Have to say this is the only fault I find in any of your reviews. :) I wonder if the new 718 will be available with all the assisted driving aids of the Macan and a HUD?
