Anyone getting more than 2.8m/kwh on the Macan GTS EV?

[sor]

I don’t know why GTS would be worse, unless there are some aero issues.

My Turbo got 2.5-2.7 throughout the winter months, and that includes having drag from a ski rack and snow tires. I only had the car in the fall last year so we will see what it does but it was doing 3.2 miles per kWh roughly in September/October.

Fourth EV and I have to say the Macan is quite efficient. There’s a long trip I usually make in the winter and it knocked a whole charging stop off from my other EVs, and that stop was only 18 minutes compared to 25+ in my others.

I don't think that's the reason.

Porsche quote the same WLTP mi / kWh) numbers for both GTS and Turbo.

The differences will be due to selection of rim size (and style) beyond the standard fit, driving style and ambient temps.

Miami ambient helps - query is specific to GTS.

Also, other than the sport design bits, other options (including, significantly their weight, or any other measurable impact they may have on WLTP as measured by whomever) are different as standard, and these all have a bearing... I've always been a little interested in how much options like thermal glass, ventilated seats, four-zone climate, ACC, might affect WLTP calculations.

Looking at different configurations on approved used demonstrates this somewhat (all 22" wheels below):

The primary main differentiator will be the wheel rim size and tyre selection on these cars. The options list won't all materially impact actual range but bear in mind options such as a towbar will have a bearing but most other things not. Noise Insulated glass is actually lighter (around 2kg) - Unlike the conventional single-layer safety glass used for the sides and rear, this glass features five layers: glass, three layers of film, and then glass again. The middle layer of the three polyvinyl butyral (PVB) films has special acoustic properties that absorb much of the oscillation of the surrounding glass.

WLTP is best ignored and just apply simple logic - large rims and fat tyres = increased drag = reduced range + low ambient temps = makes things worse.

Depending on Model Year (MY) there will also be small changes if the WLTP has been recalculated. There are MY25 / MY26 in your samples.

In any event, as you're UK based deduct +/- 15% from these numbers to get a more or less realistic real world range for ambients 15C or more. You will never achieve these range numbers.

Passenger weight is another factor too - obviously.

Porsche used to have a range calculator where you could provide wheel choice, ambient temp, AC ON or OFF, type of driving - City, Motorway, Country Roads which was really useful and quite accurate.

Audi still provide this - have a play to get the idea - https://www.audi.co.uk/en/electric/driving-range-calculator/ - Q6 is the sibling so use that model.
