Mecan S 20" vs Mecan Offroad design 21" ride quality/comfort

[SillyPosition]

My dealer offered me two already configured mecans, where one is Mecan base model with the Mecan S 20" and the other is a Mecan4 with Offroad design 21".

Trying to decide between the two, I think both looks nice but the mecan S 20" better, but I prefer the Mecan 4 so its a dillema what to sacrifice - front engine vs wheels specs.

how is the ride quality/comfort/range is in that aspect? How much of a difference is it?
Mostly concerned with potholes damage, and wife-curbs damage, I guess tires with sidewalls 50/45 is better in that aspect significantly over the 21" 45 front/40 rear

You already summarized it well.
Having both 20 and 21 inch I don’t really notice a ride quality difference though.

I would rather pick the model (base vs 4) you want than let the wheels decide.

I feel a bit neutral towards either mecan or mecan4, it doesn't seem to be a big difference on paper, how does it feel it reality? any chance you have both or both your models are the same?

Being only additional 40-ish HP to the front wheels/0.5s faster on acceleration, it's hard to use the trim as a differentiator.

How much of a difference it is that extra 5% on the sidewall, would you say its a big deal curbs-wise?

I’d be looking at the rest of the spec, some bits I couldn’t live without like power steering plus, the rear side airbags etc. before I’d be looking at wheels as the decider.

Thanks, those exists in the offer I've been given

I had a long term loaner, with 22', and I bought a macan 4 with the 21; off road wheels. In the UK, I found the 21' tramline less. And of course you have a bit more protection from damage. I'm very happy with the 4, I came out of 2 x I-Pace.
