I checked Google Trends data for a spike in search interest around the 2025 Porsche Macan. I noticed a surge between July 14-27 2024. Then I looked for press releases in that range and found that Tuesday July 16th was the announcement of the Macan base and 4s.
So, there's a chance we could see...
A new press release out today highlights strong year over year Macan electric sales for the 6 month period including Jan-June
Overall Macan sales were up 15%
45,137 examples of the Macan were delivered to customers (+15 per cent)
Almost 60 per cent of these (25,884 vehicles) were the fully...
Yep. I know. They look amazing!
I meant I wanted to change the color on the website when using the configuration tool to see how the different leather colors and door inlays would look with various ambient lighting
But the configuration tool just shows the blue ambient lighting
I've been playing with some builds in the configurer, and it seems like the ambient lighting is always fixed at that blue shade when viewing your build.
That color doesn't go great with some of the interior color combos, so it would be awesome if they would let customers change the ambient...
I'm curious if checking the deviated stitching box just replaces the standard seat color thread with a different color, or if it adds additional thread as an accent?
I never considered checking that box because adding $3K for thread seems hard for me to justify lol.
That said, the photos and...
I keep checking news announcements too.
Anyone plan to trade in a 2024 or 2025 for the 2026 just to get something new? Or does it depend on the colors and features?
We live in the age of digital technology. How can we not have a better way to identify cars than license plates?
Like a chip that sends a signal to a reader? An infrared barcode or QR code on the roof of your car that's invisible to us but readable to a special scanner?
There's gotta be a...
I was at the dealership the other day and tested out the 14-way seats in the ICE Macan, electric Macan, and Taycan. I think they were all mid-level trims if that makes a difference, but the seats were all 14-way.
I found the electric Macan seats to be the most comfortable in my opinion. What...
Good move.
I’m hoping enough people decide to trade in their existing Macan EV for the newer 2026 model or to the new electric Cayenne so there’s more CPO inventory on the market for when my current ID.4 lease ends next year.
Does design factor into the decision for you? I saw one article that showed a dirty photo of a coupe version in a parking lot that they claimed was a testing vehicle.
It’s hard to know if it was legitimate or not. It almost had a Hyundai ionic look to the back
i’m excited to see what it ends...
@Fun TC Driving - I really like the coverage of these for winter months. I live in a snowy area, and the carpet around the edges of the rubber mats get caked with salt by spring. Sure, I can take the car in for detailing or remove the salt myself, but that puts extra wear and tear on the...
This video shows a cool animation on the rear light bar across the back on vehicle startup and shutdown
Is this standard, or an option? And is it region specific/available in the U.S?
(2:00-2:40 minute mark in video)
I just watched this YouTube video from State of Charge
I thought it was really cool that he tested the same vehicle driving 70 miles an hour versus 80 miles an hour to see how much range loss there was at the higher speed
Then he calculated which speed would get you to your destination...
Not bad at all @CaseyATX! You're lucky you have cool black and white plates that look great on the white car too.
@flowerman, Nice. I feel much better after seeing these. I was worried they would be higher up on the front before.
