Porsche Macan 2022 In-Depth Review - Better Than Ever?

Can you tell the height of the driver? That Macan looks quite beefy when posing near him. 😵‍💫

[@DJaquithFL]

Interesting .. my 85 year-old mother is looking at the Macan with all the driver electronics, air suspension, premium package plus, etc .. I wouldn't get all that over hyped about this SUV. Her big draw to it is it has the right seat height for her to easily get from her walker and swivel into her car.

[@DJaquithFL]

.. For her she's deciding between this and the 2023 Mercedes GLC43. She has absolutely zero desire for an EV. She doesn't want to screw around having to plug in her car every time she uses it. Not to mention a cord sitting in the middle of a garage. They need to fix that somehow. Maybe a wireless charger or robotic drive over connection.

Its a bad idea for ANY car maker to phase out fossil fuel models in favor of electric. E-Vehicle sales are dropping of quickly because they just don't have the sustainability of gas powered units. It would be wise to offer both types to the consumers to give them options.

[@thomasd8735]

Ambient lightening? I didn’t think the macan had this

[@rivervalegroup]

Hi Thomas, you can spec the Macan with the "Comfort ambient lighting package" that features LED lighting in the door storage compartment, door panels and interior. Hope this helps 👍

[@thomasd8735]

@@rivervalegroup I do not believe this is an option in the North America market. I stopped by a dealer to ask a few things and was told no ambient lights were available or heads up display, massage chairs, blind side detector was optional…

Sorry to burst your bubble, the Macan will never make it on the Rubicon Trail. You would need proper 4x4, diff lock, center lock, a lift, big meaty tires, wench, probably some DANA solid axels, under armor, etc. The Macan would break in half if it tried to attempt the Rubicon.

LOL, this is hilarious. The more I stayed with this video, the more I realise it's not a review but a barefaced promotion. It's funny to see some of the comments applauding for how thorough this 'review' is when in fact what it's doing is it keeps detailing all the features and prodding the audience to keep upgrading. I had the first gen Macan turbo, delivered in spring 2015. Even if you upgrade to a lumbar option, it's just a total waste if you have a slim build. A huge disappointment here. Sound system - if you're into music while you're driving, go for the Burmester; American hifi system just isn't going to cut it for the kind of music I listen to. My Macan drove like a dream. I sold it almost three years later. I'm unlikely to buy it again for two reasons - just too many other alternatives out there that I'd like to try - e.g. Grecale Trofeo if not the Alfa equivalent - and, two, unless the driver's seat can be upgraded to a sports seat, the better to hug the sides of my torso so that lumbar support is not so crucial, I won't escape driving for 3-4 hours without a backache.
