All-electric Macan 4 from Porsche

[@remu._.]

I ordered Macan 4s. I do love this video for recheck. Thank you

[@VagabondBuilds]

Glad we can be of help really!

[@cocodine04]

I ordered Macan 4s in this color . Thank you for reviewing , so I can see how the color is looks like🙏

[@VagabondBuilds]

Glad we can help. It’s a great color.

[@rayfieldlewis8780]

I'm in Los Angeles, CA. 74 and retired. Macan EV 4S will be last purchase. Not concerned about depreciation as not looking to sell/trade later. Figure Porsche has figured out software with Taycan

[@VagabondBuilds]

I hear ya. Beautiful car. You aren’t going wrong with your choice.

[@mantaslaurinavicius7105]

enjoy!

[@anthonybrazzale7251]

Good for you. Just turned 70 and feel the same way about depreciation. Now or never!!

[@rayfieldlewis8780]

Yep.👍

[@nareshkarani7338]

My wife and I have two ICE Macan S (2017 and 2022) models in Dubai. I've now ordered the Macan 4 Electric, a few months ago, and have spec'ed it to $105k, and it arrives by March 2025.

[@VagabondBuilds]

A man with class.

[@michaelsafian2195]

That one may be $105k, but it's due to some hefty options, including $4960 just for a wheel/tire option. I ordered mine very nicely equipped for under $94k.

[@VagabondBuilds]

Awesome! Yes and it’s a tough review because of the crazy number of options added. Thank you for the interaction!

[@krissrock]

reviewing these cars must be difficult because damn near everything in car is optional. it's weird cuz even at the highest level, it doesn't "come with" much more than the lowest, everything is optional. i think the turbo only gets included paint options (side blade) over any other version. The 4 isn't the base/cheapest either, the base is RWD drive model. But either way...thank you. Can't wait to get one!!

[@VagabondBuilds]

You know…. I have to say you are the first one to ever make such a comment and I can say thank you for understanding our pain lol you’re awesome!

[@rayfieldlewis8780]

Definitely worth it!

[@VagabondBuilds]

Are you buying one?

[@rayfieldlewis8780]

Yep..Macan 4S

[@rayfieldlewis8780]

Currently have 2019 Macan GTS. Great car

[@Daniel15au]

​@@omnicognatesnr5947Software should be better on the Macan EV since they've switched to Android Automotive.

[@VagabondBuilds]

Nice! Jealous of either car haha

[@NYT-gp1yr]

I think this color is more than interesting.

[@VagabondBuilds]

Good or bad?

[@StarCell-x9f]

I ordered the “turbo” in oak green it’s getting there on the 23rd I’m looking forward to see it in person. Hopefully I won’t get disappointed especially for the MSRP it runs for. They just released the official range 288miles a little low to me. The base model is 308. It’s rough when you see The EQE SUV from Mercedes going for $569/mo…Why do you guys think?

[@VagabondBuilds]

I believe Porsche to be higher than Mercedes as a brand is my personal opinion. Porsche is a bit more sport. Mercedes is more luxury. I believe you will like but don’t overextend yourself.

[@ВладимирКостаненков-ъ1е]

Красивый электрический Макан.

[@VagabondBuilds]

Yes it is 😄. Porsche is a different animal.

[@aaaranb]

What color is this? What is the range difference between the RWD and the 4?

[@VagabondBuilds]

Please see the MSRP sticker in the video. Thank you for watching!

[@chapyn]

Aventurine Green

[@VagabondBuilds]

Glad you can help thanks.

[@Molishious]

Beautiful car. I like the traditional looking instrument cluster but don’t really like the look of the second screen for the passenger.

[@VagabondBuilds]

I like the traditional as well. I also like the full tech too.

[@Molishious]

@@VagabondBuilds It’ll be interesting to see if that catches on. In my car that screen almost would never get used and it would be ugly in the meantime. My guess is that the passenger will prefer to just use their phone most of the time. Mercedes has a very impressive hyper screen that goes all the way across the car and I prefer their lower model with just a large tablet screen. Then there is the Lincoln Nautilus with a screen going all the way across the top of the dash. I like a big screen, but that’s a lot. So I guess for me it’s possible to have too much screen.

[@Daniel15au]

The second screen is optional and you can choose to not have it.

[@VagabondBuilds]

Nice, thanks for the info!

[@VagabondBuilds]

Well, let us know which one you go with haha

[@xxxmarekxxx505]

SUPER!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@VagabondBuilds]

Duper!! What do you like best about the car?

[@xxxmarekxxx505]

​@@VagabondBuilds Electric engines are the future. Macan's beautiful design Mega zreyne engines Super acceleration Either you have a brain and think about the future or you don't....... Combustion engines are slowly becoming a thing of the past. Hydrogen may be the energy carrier.

[@VagabondBuilds]

We’re seeing a lot of manufacturers choosing hybrid. Tesla is definitely big, but a lot of them out there are struggling to bring a good range on the market

[@hakanlarsson5659]

Otherwise, just like I built mine... The question is if white interior is durable over time or if it gets too worn or stained? Doesn't feel premium with white plastic on the back of the front seats....

[@VagabondBuilds]

I personally don’t like white interior… but it’s all preference

[@hermannoecking199]

It’s not white like in a Tesla, it’s chalk which is more towards cream. And it’s not plastic but leather - at least in the model I ordered 😊

[@VagabondBuilds]

Oh okay, gotcha!

[@justinjay6930]

seriously ...that frunk button is made for my cat?

[@VagabondBuilds]

Haha serious?

[@matthewgrayson8]

The current generation Porsche Macan is timeless and beautiful. Idk what this new model is

[@VagabondBuilds]

I will have to agree with the timeless comment. But I think in time there is no Porsche that isn’t timeless.. 😄

[@_cpdchua]

What is your height sir? You make the Macan 4 looks especially small

[@VagabondBuilds]

I am 6 feet 2 inch

[@jacquesnauer5630]

The "Porsche Digital Key" is missing, driving with Mobilphone!

[@VagabondBuilds]

??

[@derekwalsh1935]

Can you do a new panamara next?

[@VagabondBuilds]

Yes, we have done it and it will be releasing soon. Beautiful car I say.

[@hakanlarsson5659]

Thinking about ordering. But a lot of hard plastic in the cabin makes me doubtful. Not premium... Doesn't sound premium either when he closes the door, but you have to check that on site during a test drive...

[@VagabondBuilds]

Yes. I would encourage anyone to actually see it in person.

[@hermannoecking199]

This car is not about plastics but driving ❤🎉

[@VagabondBuilds]

So overall would it be a potential buy in the future?

[@brettfine3444]

The only complaint I have with this vehicle is that there isn't enough legroom in the back row. I wish they could make it roomier.

[@VagabondBuilds]

I believe there was enough for being a tall guy.

[@bobliu3421]

macan usually doesn’t fit for a 4 ppl road trip for me, I used to own one and drove more in the twisty backroads

[@videolady]

マカンのEV化をとても残念に思います…

[@VagabondBuilds]

I hear you… I’m not a big ev guy.

[@jasonbuksh2958]

Did I miss the part where you said what it’s like to drive !? Would avoid 1st gen EV’s and all expensive teething problems they will have

[@TedTed-xh1ys]

Owned one of the first batch production Taycans for 2 years. Best car I've ever driven, zero problems.

[@VagabondBuilds]

Yea, I don’t see many first gen electric cars having issues. I mean you get them but I see it rare.

[@Glock7eventeen]

The Audi Q8 Etron is so much better looking it’s not even close

[@VagabondBuilds]

You think so? So you like the one single headlight in the front?

[@Glock7eventeen]

@@VagabondBuilds no, the original pre facelift from 2019-2023.

[@BennoSpijker]

Bud ! Its not a Porsche 😂

[@Glock7eventeen]

@@BennoSpijker and? Porsches have never been “lookers” they all look like frogs 🐸 but this one is especially ugly. Audi’s always look better than Porsches. The RS7 looks better than the Panamera, the R8 looks better than the 911. The Q8 looks better than the Cayenne and the Etron looks better than this.

[@michaelvella8511]

Why not a hybrid version ? 🤔

[@VagabondBuilds]

That’s a good question honestly. Not a fan of full EV?

[@hermannoecking199]

Because the platform it is based on is called PPE not PPH.

[@hege750]

"why would you tow with this car" - Welcome to Europe

[@VagabondBuilds]

Haha so true!

[@backinthegame34]

Raised floor has reduced seat height by 3cm !

[@VagabondBuilds]

That isn’t much 😅

[@javiermedinaortiz4653]

I will stick with my Macan GTS. I don't see any benefit to moving to a EV Macan, and I don't think Porsche got the styling right on this one.

[@VagabondBuilds]

What about the styling don’t you like and do you ever think you’ll switch to EV at one point?

[@ВладимирКостаненков-ъ1е]

Он дорого стоит.

[@VagabondBuilds]

Which price range would you like to be in?

[@Station2Station-du2gh]

When I learned that the Macan has no one pedal driving I cancelled my Macan 4s order and will go SQ6. Same platform, but Audi. One-pedal driving shoulda been a software setting - huge miss by Porsche. I drive my wife's Volvo EV all the time and in stop and go traffic, OPD is a game changer.

[@VagabondBuilds]

I hear ya. But some actually don’t like that OPD. So it might be more suited for someone else.

[@Station2Station-du2gh]

@@VagabondBuilds Then (like I said) make it a setting in software that you can enable - like every other EV!!! I find it hilarious when people say they don't want OPD. They just having been forced to use it for a week - it's more logical than coasting and braking. Car and Driver call the lack of OPD a "huge miss by Porsche that may cost them some sales."

[@saiftatanaki3076]

it looks like one of them Chinese electric cars

[@VagabondBuilds]

Ummmmm…. Really… I wouldn’t go that far in saying so.

[@madameDupoux]

Now I can’t unsee it. SMH

[@Rukio002]

No I don’t think so

[@saiftatanaki3076]

@@Rukio002 it is, look at it and tell me the difference please

[@PhilHare-er8nr]

So much plastic inside and out. Centre console looks bare compared to the non-EV models. I'm underwhelmed.

[@VagabondBuilds]

Sorry to hear that….

[@windowman9665]

What an ugly beast Horrible design.

[@VagabondBuilds]

What do you not like about the car? Specifics?

[@Glock7eventeen]

@@VagabondBuildsIt’s so small, looks like a mini-suv but it’s so round/circular as if it was a full sized SUV. The headlights are way too high on the body, the hood is way too long, the grille is non existent and the bumper is way lower than the headlights.. the side profile is hideous, the taillight looks nice but doesn’t match the body at all. It’s almost like Porsche didn’t even try with this design, just so bad.
