2024 Porsche Macan Turbo | Supercar Family Hauler
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
We do a first-drive review on the new 2024 Porsche Macan EV to showcase the engineering and how it translates into a driving experience. This next-generation approach will be met with skepticism; however, we get a chance to explain and see if this technology makes smaller vehicles and SUVs better than the internal combustion versions. Other EVs to consider are the Hyundai Ioniq N, Lucid Air, BMW iX, and Tesla Model Y.

I completely agree some EVs are overpriced, the new Macan included. But a base Macan 4 EV with the tax credit is about the same price as a comparable ICE Macan when talking MSRP. A new Macan S is 74K base. Keep in mind the Macan EV comes standard with the panoramic roof, heated seats, heated steering wheels, air/adaptive suspension, better digital screens inside, etc. Comparably equipped they cost about the same. Especially if you lease and get the tax credit. Mind you something like a base Macan 4 EV has better real world acceleration than a Macan S ICE. Also the 100-120K versions are for the Turbo model where the Macan ICE has no equivalent anymore.

People have learned to top off their phones overnight, I'm not sure why it's so hard to plug in the car and let the car draw power at night when it's cheaper than daytime peak.

Eeexactly, and public fast charging is stupidly expensive. And until recently you needed idiotic subscriptions, charging cards, which is pure artificial BS. Charging in mall car parks etc. is fine for now but at some point they’ll stop offering it for free or they won’t expand it when there are more EVs around (why should they pay for your charging?) Plus, insurance is becoming a huge issue, as companies refuse to repair them (for less than 40k for a scratch). Of course, that’s not an inherent EV issue, but it’s the perfect and only opportunity for the automakers to change the status quo in repairability, claiming BS like safety, cybersecurity, quality of work etc.

I don't need an SUV, but when I test drove the Cayman and then jumped into the Macan, I was really surprised at how it didn't even feel like an SUV at all. No, it's not going to replace a sports car or even a sports sedan, but for the practicality, space, the Macan is really impressive for a fits all needs. If you have a family and still want to drive lively, this is probably the only SUV I would consider. Porsche is truly on its on level. The build quality, driving experience and reliability is tough to match dollar for dollar.

I'm pretty resistant to EVs in general. But this Macan and the new Taycan is slowly converting me. Porsche is leading the way for EVs actually being fun. And I thought I'd never say this but, I'm actually looking forward to seeing what the EV Boxster/Cayman has in store for us. If it's anything like the Macan and Taycan, it's going to be epic.
And yet, doing Cayman EV only is a huge mistake. Even if it gets a better suspension.

It was mentioned that paint a sample supported 50 something colors, in 2021 Porsche announced “Paint to Sample,” more than 160 pre-approved colors will be available with the option to specify a totally bespoke color through “Paint to Sample Plus,” which requires extensive feasibility testing. Paint a sample plus allows you to send in a sample of the color of some other vehicle or such and Porsche will match it thus offering virtually millions of colors. Of course that comes at a cost. 😅

Thank you for your reviews as i am a huge fan. But can you guys be the first to also talk about the plastic off gasing in the car itself, I had my older model macan being looked at under warranty still and had a loan car for 10 days. The off gasing in the car ( Kia Sorento) was so bad i had to have 2 windows down as i was feeling quite ill from it. I feel it comes down to the materials used and the vehicle age of course. One last thing for me is more about wind noise test on the same road each time and db reading in the cabin would be great. ( yes tyre pressure/ wear and make is a factor) We have some horrific roads here in Queensland Australia. Thanks for taking the time to read this.
Just wait for a couple years and get it for half the price. It’ll be a killer deal
I look forward to getting behind these going 5 MPH under the speed limit on the way to the county club.
There’s so much to this that’s fascinating. I’d love to have a sporty EV. In my other comment, I noted that I’d been driving my Boxster in the Tetons. 22 hrs from home. I couldn’t bring this EV Macan out here. So much is perspectives, it seems, on this road trip. I’d have one in a heartbeat, but could I take an adventure in it? Do I need to? Idk. I’ve done a ton of driving lately in my combustion cars, that made me wish I had an EV. I can’t wait for your R2 video when it comes. ICE cars fit into every realm of life better right now. It’s the infrastructure problem. That’s the hump. When we get over that, all’s well.
This is such a compelling vehicle.
My friends mom just ordered a triple purple spec 4. She’s so pumped
Given how quiet it is, your thoughts regarding how 'NVH' might be 'over-represented' as time passes (since it is not masked as much)? In other words, those rattles that pop up may grate much, much more?
It comforting that in @ ten years most of the companies will be mass-producing cars like this. If it was 80,000 $ cheaper and even half as powerful I would buy it in a heartbeat! There is no doubt, Porsche makes the best cars and soft SUV out there
Wait, so we have crossovers with lower seating positions so that people can sit higher?
Just like Porsche, looks like Lucid is slowly becoming a benchmark for EVs. #Jack and #Mark constantly referenced Lucid in their commentary.
Love the mechanical diff in the rear. Can't wait for those to start showing up in cheaper EV's... Maybe a 2028 Gr86??
You had me at "family hauler"
Porsche has always focused on getting in starting car, setting hvac, setting radion putting into gear and driving. Something that can be appreciated when some makes love to make that whole operation a puzzle to be solved.
To each their own, but I think this car looks really good visually at least. Congrats on landing a tire sponsor guys
Love Jack almost calling it a Pecsn several times during the chassis discussion.
"sportiness is not loud or vibrations". True, but i'd balk at anything matching the thrill of firing up my AMG on the weekends.
Once again you guys do Porsche product reviews so well. Interesting to see the VW stamp on the suspension (2:28) to the right of Made in Czech - wonder how far down the VW chain this component is due to go (Skoda maybe)?
Really enjoyed the video. Do you think it’ll fit a young family of 4 comfortably (ie, with the car seats, stroller, etc.) over the next 10 years?
I think this is one of the better looking ev exteriors.
Other than the frunk, ICE Macan had the same space inside: it had two cup holders, holders in the door, etc. CR-V has more space. I don’t see massive improvements in this sense in an electric Macan.
Great video, thank you. Coming from the Macan S, I can’t wait to test drive this iteration. We don’t have Lucid here, so Macan EV gives hope for something a bit more interesting to drive. Plenty of BYD in Australia, which are awful to drive for anyone who enjoys driving

I know it looks a little bit weird, but I wanna say, this is just the way to have SUVs in the future :) Yes, you lack engine sound but that's it, dynamics wise it's not hurt, it already was a heavy SUV, as time passes I accept EVs more and more, I am just worried to see how small light sports cars like the MX-5 amd GR 86 will end up being :(
Seems like a well executed EV for those with large bankrolls, How muc of this vehicle's engineering trickles down to mainstream EV's remains to be seen.
The ability to coast is not a negative since, when done properly, it uses the potential energy of momentum more efficiently than putting some of it back in battery with regen. However, the lack of a single pedal mode is a negative for me since it means more use of the mechanical brakes, which translates to expensive pad and rotor replacement and makes the wheels dirty with tenacious brake dust. My BMW e4 i40 msport has big brakes but I rarely touch them above 5 mph. Flipping the drive selector to the left puts the car in B mode that decelerates at 0.2 g and will bring the car to a halt. It’s fun to try for that perfect chauffeur stop without touching the brake pedal. I drive in D mode on the highway and coast when possible, but flip it to B when I need to slow down. A Macan EV would be a financial stretch for me so it would help if it needed no brake service for at least 100,000 miles.
got a first gen S with 100k miles last year. it's brilliant. but i can't imagine paying new car prices for these.
They are all "commodity cars". It is all relative. Great video!
@savagegeese Is any manufacturer allowing you to set temp ranges in there EV hvac controls? You guys get great access to the designers, it would be wonderful if you could ask them how they go about designing their hvac systems. The first thing EV folks online suggest when asked how to improve range is to turn off or minimize the use of hvac. Home hvac controls allow you to set a range of comfort (e.g. keep the house between 67F and 73F) and I don't understand why car manufacturers haven't done this. I'd appreciate if you are able to ask about this if you get the chance when you go interview reps from the different manufacturers. Maybe they program this into their hvac already, but just don't allow the user to adjust it. Anyway - thanks for producing the content.
It's a mistake to not have the option of 1 pedal max regen. With everything this vehicle is capable of doing, that should be a choice for someone who's familiar with EVs and likes that driving style and range extension.
Great review as usual. The lack of one-pedal driving as even an option is close to a fatal flaw in Porsche’s BEVs - huge mistake … In Porsche ICEVs, you have paddle shifters to down-shift when going down steep inclines or are in stop-and-go traffic where it’s tiresome to always be pressing the brake pedal… that is why you want one-pedal driving at least as an option in BEVs…. I guarantee you that if Porsche offered one-pedal driving as an option, most owners would have it on all the time
Starts at $80K? Hell no. The old Macan started around $60K; mine cost $69K with a few options.

Old base Macan comes with a 4 banger out of a GTI, not an apples to apples comparison.

Same here. I love my ICE Macan but I would not pay $20K more for an EV Macan.

@@future62 Correct. My Macan will go 450 miles between stops and re-fills in 5 minutes. I take road trips in my car; an EV is painful for roadtrips.

I know you don’t talk about styling, but this thing looks really cool! Hey its not yet and too expensive, but how can you fault someone for picking this thing up when it makes sense.
The regen thing is interesting. I have to wonder whether "one-pedal driving" will be a thing in the future. I think I vibe more with Porsche's strategy of giving you the ability to just coast without using paddles or going menu-diving.
