This is one of the first EVs I've seen that doesn't shout "I'm an EV" (which is a plus for me). Feels like it's comfortable enough in its own skin not to need any exaggerated EV styling cues.

@@thedreamfactory6964 wasn't familiar with either, so i just checked them out. I have to agree, the MG ZS just looks like an ordinary car, definitely not shouting "I'm an EV". Not so sure about the Corsa E though. Something about that half blanked out grill looks a little EV-ish to my eyes, but it is good to see that manufacturers are starting to realise they don't have to style EVs to be dramatically distinctive from ICE

Thanks for the honest review. A car that can give travel sickness and needs to compensate it by switching to sports plus then there is too much vertical movement from the suspension dampers. Sideways movement or Oversteer will not cause travel sickness. Porsche needs to work hard before releasing the vehicle to the public.

Still has silly "drive modes" and "sport sounds".. full of gimmicks. On top of that, it's got no 1 pedal driving???

Interesting... thats the 1st time ive ever heard any reviewers say that driving an EV made them sick... I can only imagine it was a combo of the power, the heavy weight and the suspension trying to control it all...just a heavy object accelerating and slowing and swinging in and out of corners.... I Have heard cars like the plaid, inducing an almost head rush and nausea feeling in stomach underfull gallop.. but normal driving it was not an issue.

[@Alantj22]

Not having one pedal driving is a deal breaker for me. It still uses regen breaking, so no difference to the breaking feel, just a slight delay in getting on the brakes.

Wonder how long before someone tries to collect the badge late at night as a number of European cars where I live are missing their badges due to badge collectors.

I am not convinced the Macan will not suffer from teething problems many, many many cars from the VW group do suffer. That's why I will wait till many users give their feedback before buying one.

[@dangrass]

Great to see Porsche moving forward in electrifying their fleet. While the Taycan was a laudable first effort, the Macan fixes much of what Porsche got wrong with the Taycan....well, maybe other than weight. I was surprised by the energy efficiency cited in your piece, and I checked the Porsche website for corroboration. What I found was that the base Macan get 3.1 miles per KWH (WLTP), not the 4+ that you indicated, which makes more sense given the fact that this car is still very heavy when compared to best of breed BEVs....5,300 lbs. When comparing this car to competitive offerings, one of the obvious suspects is the Tesla Y, which for some reason was omitted from the discussion. The Tesla has similar dimensions, similar accommodations, similar speed, better software, weighs about 1,000 lbs. less, and goes about 33% further per KWH than the Macan does. And it costs about $45k versus the ~$90k of the Macan. All this says that Porsche still has a ways to go to offer a truly competitive BEV. No question that when compared to an IC Macan, the electric version is substantially more environmentally friendly, but it's still way too heavy, and very expensive for what it is. I'd describe it as a laudable 2nd effort.
