[@computercrack]

The panel gaps are pretty good tbh and the issues you found wont be noticable by 99% of the customers. To be expected for a new car where they (finally) ramp up production. This will improve over time. All of the things you critizized can and will be fixed by the local Porsche dealer, no questions asked. Thats part of the service. Except the colour "difference" on the front bumper. This will be looked at by the engineering team Im pretty sure but I doubt they will repaint the thing and I also doubt any customer would complain about it anyway. Colour looks amazing. So this car can be put into near perfect condition by the dealer, so I wouldnt really say there is any issue here. Great Review

They cant put the bodywork right. The shape of the metal simply doesn't fit and no adjustment can do it.

[@patrickvalkering6870]

Thank you very much, Coleton and Kyle, for this video! I right away checked the rear door shades on my car and they are fine, so I guess it's just an error on your car. The holes in the front and backseats are indeed totally different in my car as well! (I have the 14 way seats with cooling/heating and massage.) In Europe the electric badge is an option you can delete. One more thing: If you are testing the car at night during the coming week, what is your opinion on the inside door handle; I had a couple of passengers that couldn't find the (black) door handle trying to exit the car. I think it should be lit at night (at least when the car is at standstill).

[@FrancescoBorsotti]

I think that the difference in the holes in the back seats is due to the cooling system of the front seats. It needs bigger holes to be efficient. But it is a theory…

I’m sorry guys, this really is a clickbait title - nothing video. I’m awaiting delivery of a Macan Turbo electric in paint to sample riviera blue, 22” RS alloys etc etc - from what you’ve said in this video, you’ve cemented my decision. Interior you drooled over, and panel gaps measured with a feeler gauge - sorry to be critical of what you’re doing here, but c’mon…. I spent 1hr 15 minutes watching this with the eventual conclusion of what exactly? I’ll be doing a video of my car when I get it, just so others can see the specs I’ve chosen and what it looks like, so people can make informed decisions.

[@Bb-br3xg]

It’s just wayyyyy too expensive at msrp esp compared to the gas macan. It’s a tiny car without much space like the taycan which is suffering heavily now despite a couple good years of sales

[@Exbuilds]

I'm glad you posted this. I finally received a call that Macan 4 was ready. I was SO excited. until I saw and test drove it. The Macan 4 i drove seemed really bumpy, there was rattling coming from the front-end. Front hood, as noted in the video seemed really off. I couldn't justify trade in my Mach-E GT for it. Doesn't feel or drive like a major upgrade. So I'll kept my GT. For the time being

[@user-g968h93r]

Nice story

[@sexpistill]

Sure 👌🏾

[@Nmh86]

Get a bmw then

I too am coming from a Mach-E GT. I placed an order in mid-August for a Macan 4S, with expected delivery end of November. I test drove the Macan 4, as soon as the launch vehicles became available (in So Cal) at the end of September. I have driven three different Macan 4 vehicles, and my experience was quite different than yours. My dealer let me take a car out for about 45 minutes, so I had time to thoroughly check it out. It was beyond my expectations, and I cannot wait to take delivery of my 4S. I respectfully disagree, that the Macan 4 "doesn't feel or drive like a major upgrade". IMO, it is a significant upgrade (albeit a pricey one) to a Mach-E GT, no comparison. Had the Macan EV been available when I moved to electric two years ago, the Mach-E GT would not have even been on my radar. Since the Macan 4 has Adaptive Air Suspension as standard equipment, I'm surprised you thought it "drove bumpy". I don't know what drive mode you were in for the test, but the driving dynamics are every bit what I expected for a Porsche (I have owned four). I certainly did not experience any of the NVH issues you mentioned. I did not study the fit and finish / panel gaps on the car, but +/- 1mm of a 4-5 mm baseline spec when new, is the target industry wide. When the gap starts at 1-2mm, is when there's a problem, as it will shift over time. Aesthetically, the Macan 4 tolerances noted in the video are not even visible to the naked eye, and are well within spec. That was not the case with my Mach-E GT. Ford currently has two active recalls with the Mach-E, and one of them is a paint issue. And given that an adjustable suspension is absent on the Mach-E, it has always suffered from a rough "bumpy" ride. And as for performance, the Mach-E's speed limiter kicking in at 5 seconds was a real buzzkill. Not to mention the missing features (on a top trim level), slow SW on the infotainment system, no regen settings, spotty Blue Cruise, finicky door buttons, etc. Definitely not the experience Porsche ownership provides. And as evidenced by Ford slashing Mach-E pricing again and cutting back on EV production (retooling plants for ICE production), resale value is dropping fast. I was advised by the Used Car Manager at a Ford dealer, to take the best offer (from Carvana) now, because the car would depreciate $2-3K in the three months while the Macan 4S was being built. That's what I did, and I haven't looked back.

[@user-yq6ov6ow7l]

I’ve driven the mach E and the macan EV 4, i’m skeptical if you actually drove it. Macan EV was hands down the nicest EV I ever drove, and I drove it right after the taycan.

[@RhinestoneRhino]

I've seen multiple examples of this and none of them had gaps like you guys discovered. Porsche is one of the best when it comes to quality so I'm kind of lost for words.

[@timoliver8940]

Reversing Cam - my new Mini Countryman S E has exactly the same “fisheye” distortion made worse by the lens swivelling as you turn the steering wheel! I now use the ultrasonic sensors for backing up close to things instead of the camera. My 2023 LR Defender and all the Range Rovers and Defenders I’ve owned with a back up camera have not suffered from this “problem” 3rd screen not visible to the driver when moving………… such old tech, my 2010 Range Rover Evoque had that system on its one centre screen so the front passenger could watch a video but the driver could only see the driving info screen when the car was moving. And that was NOT an on cost on the Evoque!

[@MrRuv10]

Wait your rear view camera swivels as you turn your wheel? Surely that’s counterintuitive.

[@EricDFleming]

Online, people are saying the Burmester is very lack-luster... Thoughts, because Kyle has stated that it sounds absolutely amazing multiple times now. Many complaints for lack of bass, and we have seen how Kyle usually takes the bass eq and jacks it all the way up. Still waiting on my Macan (burmester equipped) to leave port, but it keeps getting delayed.

[@OutofSpecDetailing]

It slaps

[@gavcom4060]

Because people only focus on bass. Burmester are masters at making music sound as accurate as possible, however most people just want an obscene amount of bass. Audiophiles love Burmester, but the majority will be disappointed by the sane levels of bass

[@EricDFleming]

@@gavcom4060 Sure, flat SQ matters, but if the perception is that it lacks on one end of the EQ, it can certainly sway public perception. Similar to how I, and I think most, feel about Rivian's Elevation. The audio is clear, has good separation (especially with ATMOS enabled content) but generally lacks bass. Does that make it bad, not necessiarly, but look online at how many people complain. I'm sure the AMT front tweeters produce super accurate, crystal clear highs, I just hope the bottom end is equally up to task. "it slaps" leads me to believe I won't be too disappointed. Guess I'll have to judge for myself if my car ever leaves the Jacksonville, FL port.

[@robertwang7825]

The Macan in China is now discounted around 40% just yesterday. It is very clear Chinese EVs are winning. Also 3rd Q Mercedes profits is down 64% even tho their sales is only down 17% , meaning they have discounted all their models and it affects the bottom line.

Great review! One note about the leather interior. That car is spec'd with the extended leather package; you have to drop down to "standard" leather package to get the Chalk colour, which then removes some of the leather elements. Two of the more notable (to me) changes when you drop down to standard leather are: (i) loss of leather and stitching on the upper door panels, and (ii) on the centre console, its not wrapped in leather but instead is a hard plastic that resembles leather.

[@OutofSpecDetailing]

Good point! It’s very tricky to give an overall review with Porsche as it can be very spec dependent! If leather is important to you on your Porsche, you better spend the money!

Subscribed exactly the sort of detail and quality I look for before I purchase my cars. A bit disappointed that you didn’t pick on the hung accelerator pedal which is not what Porsche use in the 911/ 718 or Panamera - floor mounted pedal. IMO this makes a significant difference on long twisty drives. BMW seems to get the accelerator pedal right each time with their floor mounted pedals and I think these pedals also fit with the rest of the Audi and VW line up.

[@joachimachtzehnter4772]

I'm curious why the Genesis GV60 wasn't mentioned as a possible cross-shopping model. It has a similar size and shape, 25 cm shorter and 5 cm narrower at the outside, but actually a slightly longer wheel base, which probably translates to matching interior room, if not slightly bigger? It's a luxury brand too, even if perhaps not quite at the Porsche level. The big difference is that Genesis includes almost everything with the standard trim levels, while Porsche makes you pay extra for every little feature, even some things that are included with most EVs these days. A detailed comparison would be interesting. How much more does one get for the much more expensive reasonably specced Macan? The bigger battery is one significant upside for the Macan, but what else? Obviously, those who want to customise all the trim colors won't get this from Genesis, but for those who just want a good and fun car, is the Genesis GV60 the better deal?

[@lpmax3991]

All of that extended leather wrap cost extra on the car. Porsche always charges extra for their leather. Even on the base, synthetic leather should be standard for that kind of price instead of just soft plastic

[@SJVH1]

Kyle, Full disclosure>you coached your mom & dad to order a new Macan from Fort Collins Porsche last May. Car is held up in Texas port due to software issues. Kinda explains your defense of the Macan and Porsche as Colton gave his less than stellar review of fit and finish.

I cancelled my order and decided to lease an i5M60 for a couple of years to see how things improve with EVs and this was the wisest thing I could have done, the BMW feels way better sorted as an EV than the Taycan and it's technology actually works all of the time. Porsche in my opinion have a real problem with EV, in fact all European brands do because they are expecting the same price as their regular cars and the chinese brands are matching them in terms of quality but in some cases undercutting them by 60% like for like.

The killer for me is no one foot driving and slow throttle response (on the 4 at least), so the engaging and delightful qualities of electric driving are compromised. So Porsche succeeded in making this electric car act like a dirty car, unfortunately. A Tesla is actually more fun unless you are at the track.

Am I the only one to really not like this deep green color? The baby blue and violet colors look awesome but in general disappointed by the color options. No yellow option, and the ice grey looks almost white. Maybe it looks more grey in persion but meh.

I saw one at a pop up store in the mall so I don't know about that lighting but I thought nobody would order this ugly green colour

[@Schwabz33]

Really horrible that you spend six figures for a car comes like this. It’s just absolutely absurd. It’s almost like they’re hiring idiots to work on the assembly line. 33:50

A lot of money for such a small car!

[@davidakb]

Wow thx for bringing all off these errors to our attention!

[@johncapuano6083]

I think that gold colored trim is an option Porsche calls "Neodyne"

[@OutofSpecDetailing]

I found that out after I went home and specced a Macan out! Thanks for the catch on that one keeping us honest 🫡

wow quality for over $100k...not right

[@panameradan6860]

That air suspension can and will break … sooner or later … very pricey fix outside of warranty … bad move by Porsche to make it standard in Macan 4 instead of steel suspension

There you go Tesla haters, it’s not just Them, all manufacturers are not “perfect”
