    Placed your Macan EV order? Post your configuration! šŸ™‹šŸ»‍ā™‚ļø

    Ben’s Macan 4 http://www.porschecode.com/PR6IU6C0 My final configuration. Freezing date was July 5, expected delivery in October. The car resembles my current Taycan in everything. Color, full lime beige leather, but with pleasant extras such as a sliding/tilting roof and a better entry...

    Is it worth getting the full leather pack?

    I don’t think so, grey or black on black but I’m not 100% sure. However, there’s an option that costs € 3.400 but then you also have stitching on the chairs ??

    Is it worth getting the full leather pack?

    It’s a lot of money extra, but I explicitly chose it because of the stitching and the premium look and feel. I had it once in a previous Macan in beige and black. The contrasting stitches in beige on the black leather were right in my sight, every time I sat in the car and were a joy to look at...

    Macan EV Presentation in PEC Franciacorta (ITALY) -- Turbo and Macan EV 4 (Aventurine Green + Provence)

    Are you sure Diego? The stitching on the dashboard and the doors is in chalk-beige. I may be wrong, because you were there, but this stitching is the reason why I chose the expensive leather.

    My test drive of Macan EV Turbo (by Taycan owner) - review impressions

    Nice! Photo 3, 4 and 5 is Crayon? ā€œKrijtā€ in Dutch. A paint to sample color, but not yet possible to order. My freezing date is next week. And the inevitable question: how come you were able to drive it and for the whole Dutch population there was only ONE static car two weeks ago…

    Meet the all-electric Macan EV at a Porsche Experience Center (free!)

    Last Tuesday, after an invitation from my dealer, I attended the 'unveiling' of the Macan for the Netherlands. Nice but busy and just static. No test drive, but it was possible to sit in the car. The importer indicates that the Macan will not be in the showroom until September. An email to a...

    What is/was your vehicle before electric Macan EV?

    That is surely interesting. Perhaps the dealers in the USA are more honest ? My dealer told me that they had it on a demo Cayenne and almost everyone specced it after trying. But you’re right, the Macan is a relatively small car and the benefit is not as great as on a large one. I had it once...

    What is/was your vehicle before electric Macan EV?

    Your configuration is very similar to mine. I only chose the jet black metallic/ chalk beige combination. The expensive leather package with contrasting color stitching. No musician, so for me the Bose that I also have in my Taycan. Perhaps a tip for you: rear-wheel steering. In the reviews and...

    What is/was your vehicle before electric Macan EV?

    Ordered a Macan 4, drive a Taycan ST RWD now. The Taycan is my fist electric car and I bought it after a Macan 2.0. The Taycan was meant as a bridge to the electric Macan. I assumed 1 year, but that turned out to be at least 2 and with the delivery 3 years… I'm completely convinced, electric...

    2024 Macan EV Reviews (Articles & Videos)!

    Thank you for your detailed response to my thoughts. You are right, there will indeed be at least one variant between the 4 and the turbo. I think Kyle says in his video that he previously drove a camouflaged model where Macan S was on display. Today I received the magazine with the article I...

    2024 Macan EV Reviews (Articles & Videos)!

    I agree with you, it's just one opinion. Still, I saw that there are differences between the 4 and the turbo. The weight distribution is 50-50 compared to 48-52 with the turbo. The heavier engine is also mounted on the chassis with the turbo and on the subframe with the 4. That gives a different...

    Thanks, I saw his review. The driving test itself was again with a turbo. That's what Kyle and Edmunds did better.

    2024 Macan EV Reviews (Articles & Videos)!

    Thanks for listing all the driving tests. Too bad that it mainly tested the Macan turbo and hardly the Macan 4. Only 'Out of Specs' and 'Edmunds' pay sufficient attention to the 4. Because I have a 4 on order, I would have liked more information about it. It also doesn't help that a Dutch...

    Macan EV at the NY auto show

    And to make it even worse: I just made the same configuration with the same specs for a Macan turbo in the US as I made for my Macan 4 in the Netherlands. How bizarre: the price for the Macan 4 in the Netherlands is € 114.025 and the Macan turbo in the US costs $ 114.240… That’s about €...

    Macan EV at the NY auto show

    And we, the customers in Europe, are paying the bill. When I make exactly the same configuration of my Macan 4 on the Porsche Car Configurator in the US it’s $ 96.000. With the current exchange rate that’s € 88.600. My car however costs with the same configuration in the Netherlands the amount...

    Rear Wiper or not…

    A nice out of the box solution Yves. We agree on the need of the wiper, indeed 6 months… However, I’m not that technical ? Perhaps a good idea for someone who is and who wants to share this in the near future?

    Rear Wiper or not…

    Thanks Adrian, the last push for my definitive choice: Iā€˜m going to choose for the wiper. On the Taycan you could spec a high gloss painted one. ā€˜Paint it black’ ? will be the best aftermarket compromise.

    Rear Wiper or not…

    Thanks, certainly helpful. The Dutch weather gives every reason for a wiper, if I’m honest. I tend to go for the looks, but it’s probably better to go for practicality…

    Rear Wiper or not…

    Perhaps you’re right. I have time before my order is permanent to try out RainX on my Taycan. It does have a spoiler and the Macan doesn’t but them I can try if this works. Otherwise maybe an ugly wiper ?

    Rear Wiper or not…

    Although only a small detail, I have doubts in my configuration about the rear wiper. Without a wiper the rear looks much better, I think. But is this practical? Every time I use it the wiper on my Taycan ST makes a scratching sound on the rear window, actually already after a few months. That...
