Does it have over the air updates? Can you coast in it (level 0 regen)? What sort of range were you getting while driving? Gonna be interesting to see where the second hand prices sit in a few years with these :) Nice car and review though thanks.

Which Genesis GV60 trim is this?

I agree with you on one pedal driving. I’d like a Macan to replace my Tesla Model Y Performance but now that I have experienced aggressive one pedal driving I’ll wait for the next Model Y Performance.

Very nice and I agree with you it is a mistake not to add one peddle driving , I am not a fan of it but in heavy city traffic its wonderful .

Which exterior colour option is this please?

I love the look but haven 't seen it in the metal yet. I have been driving Porsches since 1987 (944 Turbo, 964 (2)) plus VW Golf GTI before that and Golf R now. My 964 is now to valuable to be a regular driver so I plan replace the Gof R with the Macan EV for most of my driving.

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.

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 suspect it will sell well as in the US the Macan from what I've heard is very popular and is basically the Crossover style and sizing so if priced similarly or not alot more than the petrol version from a TCO perspective should be a good seller.

In truth, I was here just to see Nikki.. 🙂 It's literally the same as all the other Macans (which is now the only model going full electric from it's ICE counterpart). Still has silly "drive modes" and "sport sounds".. full of gimmicks. On top of that, it's got no 1 pedal driving???

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.

I like the car, design is nice. And the car is more intuitive with inside controls like temperature then VW and Audi which is really strange. I would upgrade my model 3 LG any day for this Macan.

Around 12:28 I think the figures are not entirely correct. The weight distribution is 48/52 front/rear (at least for the turbo, if I'm not mistaken) Looking at the power distribution, the car is primarily rear wheel biased.
